This whole record rules, but this song in particular feels like “chase this light” era Jimmy and I’m not one bit mad about it

It feels like we should be making a bigger deal of “we actually did in fact find a cure for AIDS”
Evidence is growing that some HIV-infected infants, if given antiretroviral drugs early in life, are able to suppress their viral loads to undetectable levels and then come off the medicine. www.wired.com/story/the-fi...

Age verification? My first concert was Metallica and Guns and Roses in Dallas in the 8th grade. I watched a 300 pound man pummel about 20 dudes into dust in the pit. Faith no More opened and Mike Patton deep-throated the mic. GnR played an entire set!
age verification? I saw the Toadies with Billy Joe Winghead as Rubbernecking was blowing up and though I was in 8th grade you could still smoke inside the Diamond Ballroom which was also 200 degrees Fahrenheit
age verification? my first concert was Lit opening for Garbage, with free tickets I won on the radio

Spent the better part of a decade trying to convince Congress that PEPFAR was a good investment. Warms my heart that AG is willing to show more spine than many of those Congress people who paid lip service in private but wouldn’t support publicly because it wasn’t politically advantageous.
Amy Grant hive, we simply don’t know how to lose.
“Hi, Senator Hagerty, hi, this is Amy Grant,” she said. “I’m standing on stage singing to over a thousand people … We want you to know that here in Nashville we want to see full funding of PEPFAR so we can stay on track to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic by 2030.” www.christianitytoday.com/2025/06/amy-...

“Spilt Milk” by Jellyfish is perfect, except for “My Best Friend.” It goes.
Songs about your wang age like milk, no matter how amazing a musician you are.

'Extraordinary Machine' happened mostly because Jon Brion begged Fiona Apple (during their "weekly lunch") to do an album with him as a distraction from his mid-'Punch Drunk Love' breakup with Mary Lynn Rajskub??? I knew absolutely none of this

Spooling up the ole Silk Road for illicit Ethiopian coffee, direct to my kitchen
something I haven't seen yet: isn't a massive increase in the range of goods worth smuggling going to be a big boost to exactly the kind of cross-border organized crime the WH claims it wants to stop?

There are two people in Congress-the chairs of the Senate & House Appropriations Committees-who have enormous power over the illegal impoundment of funds appropriated by Congress, which is sowing chaos across the US. They need to be relentlessly contacted at their offices, in person and by phone. 1/

Worked in Advocacy for these programs for the better part of a decade. They are the real deal.
It hurts to see all the good work these programs have done so casually dismissed for what? Political points with the base?
Just a bunch of fucking idiots too dumb to see the blood on their hands.

US imperialism is full of evil things but PEPFAR was actually life-saving for once and of course these ghouls target it
Appalling cruelty beyond comprehension. Trump is ordering an immediate, unlawful shutdown of PEPFAR, potentially denying life-saving HIV medication to millions of people. This guarantees a lethal, global resurgence of the HIV epidemic. Just unfathomable sadism. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/27/h...

FWIW, literally sitting in an ER room right now with a loved one, who is on some serious antibiotics, with my insurance card in the seat next to me and an estimated bill for care that I know we can’t pay.
