The fact that the organizers are choosing Fridays (the most important day for restaurants and small businesses) instead of, say, a Tuesday or Wednesday, makes me wonder if they have ulterior motives completely unrelated to ICE. As in, opposition to restaurants or small biz *existing at all*.

Great article! Sadly, I'm not surprised that the same loser men who gave us bilge like "Try That In A Small Town" - all while licking the boots of the billionaires who destroyed their small town - are totally silent, if they aren't already cheering on the Rapist-In-Chief's murder of civilians.

It's great that notable content creator Barack Obama finally acknowledged the horrific state-sponsored murders in Minneapolis, but a man of his status should have far more to offer the anti-fascism effort than weak-sauce statements, followed by a semi-annual list of Best Beach Reads and Summer Jams

Katie's "Breaking The Glass Ceiling" vocal affectations, especially at the "Brett Coyote" book release party, are so funny that Carla Gallo deserves an Emmy nod just for that! Here's hoping Delbanco & Stoller have a few more series in them, after this and the also-hilarious "Friends From College"

This event is easy fodder for Dem campaign ads - "The Repubs spent your tax $ to honor a bigot who said [insert insanely hateful CK quote] while our bridges crumble and healthcare/firefighter/education/road budgets get slashed - call [elected official] and demand they put your $ where it is needed!"

One of my favorite things about baseball is how it's 150+ year history of being a major sport means that major events from, say, the '70s (turf, Reggie/Fisk homers) seem relatively recent, whereas in basketball or football, events of similar impact ('72 Dolphins, ABA) feel like eons ago

Wow! While it's not quite as wild as Garry Templeton eclipsing 100 hits from both sides of the plate in 1979 (which might possibly have inspired the Smashing Pumpkins song of that title), it tops Khris Davis hitting .247 for 4 (or Mickey Tettleton having 211 at bats for 3) consecutive years

In an era where convenience has leaped past actual drugs as our favorite drug, how do we convince ordinary people to not view AI/ChatGPT with a similar level of authority as past generations did with encyclopedias? How do we stop humanity from hammering down the gas pedal on societal brain-rot?

True. And this Leeds-based band Eevah is the SVE/Wolf Alice union we all need right now (especially for the poor bastards forced to face the Tigers' starting pitchers). The combo of ethereality & heaviness, a scream-along chorus, plus a bridge from another galaxy open.spotify.com/track/6RNyHW...

"Your own government could kidnap you at any time for whatever reason they feel like making up that week" is a pretty powerful instigator of public outcry, and if you are an elected official who is too lazy or scared to make a big deal out of this, you should quit politics because you suck!

Gotta love a Dem who (accidentally) quotes the opening lyrics for Yes's "The Gates of Delirium"!
Maybe later in the speech, we get
"Peaceful lives will not deliver freedom, fighting we know/
Destroy oppression, the point to reaction" youtu.be/E8MPNOqYpWs?...

Dems, instead of caving to right-wing BS, whenever a dumbfuck Repub during a debate throws "men are infiltrating women's sports" shite at you, reply with this:
"If you care so much, name 5 current professional women athletes, other than the few in commercials during men's games."
They won't!

Could any wealthy liberals, instead of trying to run quixotic presidential campaigns, craft some pump & dump scheme to cause the crypto market to unmercifully crash? They could essentially stop right-wing jagoff crypto bros from being able to buy future elections - talk about a worthy investment!

Wow! That's rowdy as hell

I've heard tales of their live shows during that era, that they were absolute fire

While reading "Nöthin' But a Good Time", the highly-entertaining oral history of hair metal, it hit me that
the bands were totally unaware of how rap was already pushing their genre out of the center of youth culture. Nirvana & Co just finished the job began by N.W.A & Digital Underground.

Nice! I have Slipknot's "People = Shit" in my Top 10 (you can't argue with math!), as the rapid turns in their sonic assault got almost damn-near Prog Metal (shh...don't tell anyone!)

The lines I've recently had the most fun working into convos are
-"Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the futon this morning”
-“You might want to slow down, there’s no alcohol in that.”
-"I’m nostalgic for conversations I had yesterday. I’ve begun reminiscing events before they even occur."
