Maga / Republicans: Cruelty is the agenda. America: Welcome to the end of empathy and moral terpititude.
Some of the most powerful leaders & governments of the world are twisting into pretzels over a Mayor. A Mayor!
Are they afraid of the man who is comfortable being very public as dem/soc, or afraid if an educated public?
Reminds me of the 60s when similar leaders were removed to maintain status quo.

A Wizard a True Star - Todd Rundgren at 56 min. was the longest LP before his Intiation LP at 68 min. Side 1 starts with International Feel, ends with Le Feel Internationale, with snippits- Zen Archer, Rock & Roll Pussy. Chaotic beauty! Side 2 ends with Just One Victory, still feels powerfull today.
I've decided to listen to one album a day, every day, for the entirety of 2026. I'm open to suggestions but I make no promises about listening to them

Also, it used to give ample time ("in 2 miles..."), when approaching an exit or junction of a freeway/highway, to adjust your position or lane. Now it gives you "in 1/2 mile, use the right lane..." and, of course, you are in the far left lane.
Anyone else notice google maps turning into a piece of shit this week for some reason?

Not sure if everyone saw this, seems very relevant to Ukraine, believing conspiracy theories, and any enforcement of existing laws lacking real teeth or urgency.

Very interesting find. I bet Trump doesn’t even remember signing this.

One of the best live RocknRoll albums of all time! (see also - Johnny Winter And / Live, Lou Reed / Rock n'Roll Animal -Live)

Amazing that this incredible three-piece band was panned by critics back in the day.

If "Inside Looking Out" doesn't make you dance, you may be dead inside!

Great quote from Einstein- “A human being is part of a whole, called by us the ‘Universe,’ a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest —a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. 1-

"While the tally is almost certainly incomplete, we found more than 170 such incidents...

Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer. That includes four who were held for weeks ... without access to the family’s attorney until a congresswoman intervened."

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Proof that Trump is Biff - interesting that he began his run for President in 2015, the same year Marty goes to the future in BTF II - Start at 1:10 to 3:22 for full explanation of how we got here 😉 🙃

If you have not listened to Khruangbin yet, take your fav mind remedy, get your headphones, and listen to "The Universe Smiles Upon You" full album from 2015.
Then, listen to "The Universe Smiles Upon You ii". Great behind the scenes article for music fans like me. share.google/Htg1wUfIJeTm...

The intent here (at Bluesky*) is to gain a clearer perception of humanity. Where we've been, where we're going, the pitfalls and the possibilities, the perils and the promise. Perhaps even an answer to that universal question, 'Why?'

The Psychedelic Furs sang it: "They'd dearly make us pay for laughing in their faces and making it our way
There's emptiness behind their eyes, there's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all and take us all apart, but not in
Love my way, it's a new road
I follow where my mind goes"
