For this week's RustWorks, we give a listen to a couple performances of "Cortez the Killer," arguably the quintessential Neil Young song: a simple, yet definitive melody anchored by a rhythm that simultaneously picks you up, and gently lays you down.

I recently found myself at one of the most thrilling and intimate music performances I’ve ever attended. The location, however, was no LiveNation venue, but at tiny Champlin Guitars.

My wife and I are RPCVs and were proud to serve our country. Although I don't think service should be compulsory there are things we can do as a country legislatively and culturally to make service more attractive and rewarding.
Completely agree
We have no common experiences
We have no common experiences
We no longer know one another.
The longest consecutive stretch in American history without mandatory service should end.

What Trump lives for are these idiotic photo-ops of holding up a proclamation to the camera.
I do not recall (exceptions might exist) other presidents ever doing this. Pure pro-wrestling Kayfabe.

Every time he signs one of his dumb proclamations and holds it up to the cameras from now on, everyone's going to be reminded of the Epstein birthday card.
