Two members of the legendary Sun City Girls are brothers Alan & Richard Bishop. I recently interviewed them separately. During this episode Alan gave me a question to ask his brother. Tune in Nov 29 @wfmu.bsky.social for Richard's response to his brother's question.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

One of those things you just buy on sight, without listening to it first. As a #vinyl lover I suppose it would be nice to have on vinyl, but ultimately it doesn't matter. It's all about the music, not the format.

I'm not sure. I know I saw Unrest a couple times, definitely once at Eclectic. All this stuff gets jumbled in my mind after all these years.

Jack Posobiec explicitly says that "Antifa" dates back to the Weimar Republic, explicitly acknowledging that this administration is opposed to those who resisted the arrival of Adolf Hitler in Power.

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

If this show really was taped at Toad's Place in 1992 I was at this show. The problem - the vid says "New Hampshire" but Toad's is in Connecticut, so I can't be 100% sure. I'm assuming that's a mistake/typo.

Now that I think about it, Joseph Holbrooke never released any vinyl, CDs only.

True to form, when Paul Weiss partner Kannon Shanmugam faced a little challenge, did he fight back? Did he stick up for his firm? Did he advocate on his own behalf?

Lol. Of course not! He tried to hide.
