I've been impressed by Bruce Springsteen, he never quite climbed into my Top 5--voice, guitar, lyric mastery notwithstanding.
But! The current biopic "Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere" is very fine. It took me about 10 minutes to accept Jeffrey Alen White *as* The Boss, but after that, WOW!

Here's something to make you lose sleep. What if the Epstein files are a distraction from criminality far worse than that contained, documented, reported in those files?
Using this pedophilia ring to distract us...
We don't even want to ask,
"What could be worse?"

When I bought this little book almost 30 years ago, it was in this condition. I wasn't able to undo any damage, but I've managed to keep it as good as I can.

"Please trust us now when we say that what is happening in the Chicago area is wrong *** It is not law enforcement; it is terror."
Letter from Chicago broadcast veterans: Federal immigration agents have traumatized us and eroded our rights
The fact that some federal immigration forces may be leaving soon is cold comfort given the damage they’ve done.

"The greatest good for the greatest number." Looks pretty.
To reach this overlap much good and many numbers will not make the cut. This time. We have to shore up our federal workforce. State and local, too.
Now, we'll watch as Mike the Johnson covers 4 his masters.

Can we please appreciate the capacity of the Epstein victims? What we know already offends to our core the debauchery, the evil of these children's abusers and rxpists.
Crushed by what we know now, the bulk of the iceberg still unseen--we could end the global oligarchy in our time.

What the actual eff is up with AG Sauer's and RFK2's voices?
What inhalation event, interior cpu corrupt disc failure, Borg-human disguise imaging malfunction is going on with these freaks?
Are their SSNs strings of pi? Are they stored in home planet environments to keep from falling into mud?

"I could loudly exclaim we felt the same
But not in all honesty
Now you'll never know
How could you know the friend that you had in me?
I've got so much to learn now
Lessons I never had.
When you lose a friend forever
Hurts so bad
Ooh it hurt me so bad."

I voted for Obama twice. Good. Now he richsplains to us.
Told him:
"Between millionaire Rs and millionaire Ds there isn't a choice to be made. But thanks for rich-splaining to workers how bad off we are.
#MedicareForAll > than ACA, but no millions to be made off poor and middle-class people."

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

I rejected the term "followers" used by social media bigwigs.
I propose "walk-besiders." Not interested in following you, even y'all cool people. Maybe "mates" (is that non-gender specific?) or even "you silly fuckers" (surely non-gender specific, even if you're celibate, that's how you got here).

It's helpful to remember that the 1st political party the modern oligarchy destroyed was the Republican party. This is not the party of Dwight Eisenhower or John McCain. It's the party of "everything is an oil field that must be drained, sold, and its devastated landscape of humankind left to rot".

"I hated being single after my last relationship broke down,” said Sarah, 43, a sales representative... “I miss having someone to cook for, to share things with. But now, my motto is: ‘My alone feels so good, I’ll only have you if your presence is sweeter than my solitude.’”
