Holy mother of God.

The full 2005 interview it's from is well worth a read btw. Sadly just as relevant today as it was 20+ years ago—moreso, in fact. www.salon.com/2005/04/24/s... "There are many things I wish for my country . . . But if the USA attacked my country, no matter what, I would be against the US."

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Call your people, no matter what party.

This is war profiteering and I'm ashamed that so many people I know and like are apparently not ashamed to be in bed with these prediction markets.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

Called and yelled at Virginia Foxx's answering machine. You should do the same for your pitiful excuse of a congressperson.

I work in a school every day. My country facilitated the bombing of a girls school in Iran, killing children. Why would the terrorizing of other humans ever make me feel safer?

Saw Hammer No More the Fingers at the Flat Iron tonight and it was just fantastic. My first time getting to see them after 15 years of listening to BLACK SHARK relentlessly.

Started reading LONESOME DOVE tonight and in the first forty pages I have both a) laughed out loud at something and b) read a paragraph multiple times to reveal in its poetic humanity. I feel like these are good signs.

Oh hey, this sounds familiar encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/t...

Remember when Trump yanked funds from Mississippi after learning that the state's welfare chief had directed millions in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families funds to sports celebrities, including not only Brett Favre, but the Million Dollar man and his two pro-wrestler sons? Wait. He didn't.

The other day I saw a video of an historian (maybe?) saying he didn’t understand why billionaires are opposed to being taxed more because “taxation is the compromise.” And that last ~500 years teaches us what happens when that compromise is not struck. Can’t stop thinking about it.

So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.

Happy birthday to the great Juice Newton. I'm a bit of a fan.

So if you're keeping score. Ethylmercury, the kind that isn't dangerous in small amounts and you poop out can no longer be in vaccines but the bad mercury, methylmercury, that your body can't clear out well and remains in your bloodstream is ok!

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Also, going to keep a running list here of albums I give a listen. New and old. Mostly first listens but some revisits.

I meant to do this in January, but this is a thread of movies I watched this year. Trying to make better use of my streaming services.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Hell yeah, go Heels!

A great post with some really wonderful words by fellow Television member Jimmy Rip about Smith.

Ugh, missed that the great Fred Smith passed yesterday. The bass on MARQUEE MOON and all Television albums was one of its most underrated elements. Thanks for the incredible music. RIP

A very relevant song for the coming week here in NC. Plus, criminally unavailable on most streaming services. I have a copy on their NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL QUITE GOOD b-sides and singles collection. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uhn...

One of my fellow Aquarium Drunkard writers is in a tough spot. Holding her in the light, and anything is helpful.

I had an hour drive back into town to go to Quaker meeting this morning, so I put on Alice Coltrane's JOURNEY IN SATCHIDANANDA for the drive to put me in the right mindset. Worked perfectly.

One of the great things about college radio is stuff that isn't streaming. So listening to my show live is often not precisely replicated in the playlists after. I do my best, but all the more reason to tune in when you can.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.
