I agree but how?
All blue estates should be standing with Minnesota and refusing to send any money to the federal government. If they can do this to us they can and will do it to you, too.

If you’re open to suggestions Porno For Pyros sing Tahitian Moon was a great track from this era
its an expansion of the sections in my book about this era, I really wanted to go long with it because I love this time period in radio alt-rock so much, and I love writing about the memory of grocery stores. Thanks to @yogurttowne.bsky.social for bringing me back into the Paste fold!

That Toadies album is an all time classic. I still have the CD. The entire era did not produce a better power ballad than Tyler
Big news for 2026, I'm back to having a column in @pastemagazine.bsky.social! Alt-rock Department is about grocery store radio rock, and my experiences working in a grocery store, in the mid to late 90s. The first one is here, it's about Possum Kingdom.

Here’s how to “make sense” of all this: The right is composed of evil people doing evil things who do not give a single fuck about this country, your state or your family. All they want is power and the power to crush anyone who isn’t a white man that believes in society oriented around white men.

I urge them both to rally their colleagues to strongly oppose Hegseth’s threat to deploy the Marines to LA & this kind of rhetoric from Johnson.

JON KARL: Could we really see active duty Marines on the streets of LA?
MIKE JOHNSON: One of our core principles is maintaining peace through strength. We do that on foreign affairs and domestic affairs as well. I don't think that's heavy handed.

look, the “cure” for the completely made-up male loneliness epidemic is simply more disposable income and more free time…better pay for less work is the only answer to being able to hang out more, which is why the ceos are instead blaming “woke” and offering us robot friends

if we had an effective dem party, starting 8:30-9 this am, every dem on capitol hill would be on this story. they'd be calling for hegseth and waltz and the rest to resign, theyd be calling on trump to come clean with the people about what else they leaked. they'd be pushing for investigations etc
