Scene: summer 2027, me standing on a hill overlooking another US city burning to the ground. Speaking to no one in particular as the gun battle inches closer.
"You know, the world was a much better place when we had a mainstream media that most people accepted as truth."

Hands up doctors if you've received threatening communication from a patient or rando radicalized by Kennedy and his ilk.

Whats amazing is that all these edgelords have their hair on fire about "the problem," but they dont seem to have any agreement about what the problem is. What if things were generally OK in 2023? Some inflation, houses too $, but possible to be happy?

I miss the old days of music twitter. I met him at a big ears show cause he was tweeting pics from 3 feet away from me.

Do you know the CERCLA database? It went down in Trump 1, I think, but you may still find it around. Lots of human epi there

Awfully sad to think about the art Clifford Brown would have made going into the advances in harmony and technology in the golden age of late 50s-early 60s. There were only a couple trumpet players who bridged the era from Parker to fusion

I just learned that the biggest healthcare system in my area is dropping all medicaid patients on January 1st, and this guy is gonna blame lack of access on immigration. False witness, dog.

Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

What do you think of our guy, Dan Wilson? He kept his team close enough to win with a late surge, but his in game management seems a bit suspect.

I think red and blue coded halftime shows would be neat. Is Up With People still together?

Aw man a tour of Dead with this version of the Neverending tour band.....

The worst production quirk of the 80s: that clanky new string bass sound in all of those AmRep bands. Throw some early digital reverb on the drums and you've got the starter kit.

My college kitchen job made me clean grease traps and hoods at the end of the night. I'd walk home in dead of winter covered in grease and walk by the house where the Laughing Hyenas were inventing grunge.

Is wood pulp even the 5th most troubling ingredient here? "Good thing I didn't eat that salt-brined, deep-fried tube of pig bungholes swept off the rendering floor, there mighta been sawdust in it."

Im now 16 years into this flex, and it doesnt feel weird anymore.
The Super Bowl is the best four hours of the year for going to place like IKEA or Home Depot.

What in the world? On the second pressing, they had to go back and add THAT in the middle of the artwork? (Yes, I know the swastika is adapted from an Indian good fortune symbol, but by 1968, that was not what people thought of)
First pressing is hammered, but I think I'll still keep it.

The worst kind of news article: the one that details something stupid an administration member did or said, followed by 15 dunk tweets from accounts like brooklyndad and mullershewrote.

I'll never forget the abuse piled on public health workers like me by Bhattacharya, Kulldorff, and Prasad. Fact is, they won the pandemic, and the mindset that allowed them to do so is tearing our country apart.
