@deadheads: thoughts on either of these lists? I'm always interested in the idea of where to start with massive canons of music, but I feel that 20 or 30 shows is either too many or not enough for a list of "Essentials". plus some of the picks are...eccentric
The 30 Best Grateful Dead Shows Ever
The Grateful Dead played around 2300 shows. These are our picks for their 30 most magical, must-hear concerts

this is not enough, but given current state of Congress I think there's actually several good things in here. I'd like Dems to be finding ways to fight this outside of legislation (and some are!), but the way to get ICE abolished right now is sustained. protesting. not bitching on bluesky
Minibus is out. Democrats were able to include some guardrails in about ICE:
-restricts ICE to spending $3.8 billion of its annual budget
on detention as opposed to being able to spend $10 billion
-$20 million that must be used for body cameras 1/

casually summing up decades of political malaise in one sentence on The View
Mamdani: "I'm trying to inspire amongst New Yorkers a sense of faith and belief in what government can do, and it's very hard to do that when they look at masked agents and see them as another face of a similar government"

good reminder today that we are the ones coming to save us

that being said you’d think the party of organized labor would want to at least signal boost the AFL-CIO calling for a statewide one-day general strike for the first time since the 40s

well, I guess it was being taken to the Portland ‘95 shows at 6 months old, but they were in the background of my whole childhood. Eventually, when I was around 16, I think I saw the Touch of Grey music video and that prompted me to raid my dad’s CDs
How did you discover The Grateful Dead? I’ll Start: My oldest brother who despised them got Skeletons as a gag gift in college ‘79. He left the cassette in a drawer still in the plastic wrapper. I found & opened it. Played it and I have never looked back. Greatest music discovery! I was in 6th grade

my favorite part of the insane letter is the "Thank you!" at the end. Unfortunately pretty relatable to write an absolutely unhinged email and sign off with a "Thank you!"

I don’t think of myself as religious but I do work at a church where we just finished listening to a real fire and brimstone sermon on Jesus turning over the moneychanger’s tables. Anyway, go to church, it rules
CONFIRMED:

Earlier today Don Lemon reported a protest at Cities Church in St. Paul, MN where they said pastor David Easterwood is Acting Director of the ICE Field Office.

They were 100% right.

the Beatles Complete Scores book is a very cool thing and I think we should have something like it for the Dead but I’m not totally sure how it would work

#copium but after two more years of this and the added scrutiny that comes from campaign season, I don’t think Newsom will win even California in the primary
Ben Shapiro: "Israel did not commit a genocide in Gaza"
Gavin Newsom: "I agree with you."

yeah, maybe ICE ignores this ruling, sure, but it's still better than not having it

the institutional left slowly waking up and sniffing the air like a 17 year old basset hound
every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO

this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

it feels like every current event is specifically designed to show normies how fragile the neoliberal order is. the nobel peace prize is worthless, the cops are an unaccountable paramilitary organization, elected officials are just there to collect a paycheck, it’s all being laid bare

I think all these olds are just such a product of the period in which their careers really flourished that they are literally incapable of seeing that it’s not 1996. Like, they are psychologically unable to admit that their era has ended. It’s not even their fault! But they gotta go
Just got this forwarded. Here are the talking points Schumer's team just emailed out to their allies TODAY - this afternoon.

The words "Minnesota" or "ICE" don't appear anywhere here.

the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?
Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

obviously this shouldn’t be happening at all but the way people are responding makes me sincerely proud to be an American. Like, it is an honor to be from within the same national borders as dads from Minneapolis
A week ago I think I knew maybe 3 parents at my kid’s preschool, and now I know almost all of them, and have steeled myself to give my life for their kids and their teachers if I need to.

Now that I’m in my 30s I just get headaches. Headaches for staying up too late, getting up too early, sleeping in too late, not eating enough, not having enough caffeine, having too much caffeine, eating the wrong thing,

The Powderhorn Park neighborhood has been the biggest target of immigration enforcement in Minnesota. It’s home to a large immigrant community who is now struggling to pay rent. Kidnappings are on the rise because people cannot stay home. Please help us out. Link is in my bio.

Warren Zevon once said Bob Dylan “invented my job,” and there are gobs of singer-songwriters who, for all their individuality, follow Dylan’s pattern of songwriting: simple chords, straightforward structure, and engaging lyrics.
