You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

I'm old enough to recall when he and FOX and the GOP yelled about Obama "giving Iran $150 billion" when his nuclear deal unfroze Iranian assets.

In which "controversial" means stupid-ass.

"I'm so proud of you serving my personal needs and wishes."

I don't know what's so hard to understand about this...

"did you know the USPS is losing money" no I didn't know and I still don't care do you know how much money your president has lost you since January

There are so many, but the first one to pop into my head: Dave Mason's "We Just Disagree"

I'll probably never reach this level again so.figured I'd make note of it.

They canceled his citizenship interview and he drove in the winning run to beat the US. Eugenio Suarez is a gem.

Reason 3,947 on why to cheer for Venezuela tonight: Team USA will wear game worn USA hockey uniforms to tonight’s WBC final.

I can't believe I'm saying this and it's not a meme, but polls close at 7 in Illinois, so if you're in line to vote, STAY IN LINE. You can register TODAY with a piece of business mail and vote TODAY. Every vote counts. It's a sunnier, nicer day out than we all thought it would be! Get out there!

To be clear: the SAVE Act does not simply require the identification voting ALREADY requires. It demands proof of CITIZENSHIP— a birth certificate with a name that matches yours now (bye, bye, married women), or a passport— both of which are expensive and take a long time to obtain.

In retrospect it totally tracks why a guy who has no friends wouldn’t get why you need allies

Editor's Note | To properly allocate resources for Iran War reporting, we will be sunsetting coverage of: - Trump's crypto bribes - Trump's real estate, golf, and hotel bribes - US military strikes on Venezuelan fishing boats - Alex Pretti and Rene Good - Data theft by DOGE - the Epstein files

I wrote about Kat.

I know we're all thinking the same thing about the Ides of March, but remember your Shakespeare: Once Caesar was killed, a younger, smarter, but equally vile asshole manipulated public sentiment and took over.

shout out whatever brave soul keeps updating the construction info sign next to piedmont park meadow

This man, like his colleague Peter Thiel, is a dangerous, extremist, deranged, lunatic who should not receive 1 cent of public funding for anything...and every Democrat needs to make that a campaign commitment. Time to end the Palantir grift and malevolence train.

not sure why everyone thinks this is such a big problem when an obvious solution exists

WHAT IF YOU JUST READ A FUCKING BOOK

Not to mention the bilking of the country's coffers by the Trump family.

Pretty soon they're gonna need to release the Epstein files as a distraction from the price of gas and the dropping Dow.

It's almost like we have a new newspaper of record...

Opinion | Freedom isn’t free. $6 / gallon is a fine price to fill my F-150’s tank.

It was only a year ago that Elon Musk and DOGE were dominating the daily narrative. Now we're at war with Iran. In between we've had masked secret police in the streets killing people and well ... everything else. One year.

The Washington Post ended political endorsements in 2024. Here’s why it will endorse Trump in 2028.

Famed CBS anchorman Walter Cronkite while he was a student at UT-Austin. Walter was born in Missouri but moved to Texas when he was 10 years old. He went to elementary school, jr. high, and high school in Texas, then on to UT-Austin. He dropped out after two years to focus on being a journalist.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Taking a look at my blog stats I saw that someone visited this post from October of 2004. It's clear that not much appears to have changed about this country's electorate in twenty-two years.

Five dollars to the first reporter to ask Trump this question...

Area Dog is having a very good dream.

ATTN: Texas voters.

Regardless of subject, almost every opinion poll I see has about 30% of the respondents who either "don't know" or "aren't sure." 30% of the country! Morons.

At the bottom of the Substack settings page, under "Danger Zone," you can turn off all subscriptions at once. Apologies to all my friends on Substack. I'd gritted my teeth and supported you because I love your work. But Substack's partnership with Polymarket is the last straw for me.

It's been a very long time since I bought a harmonica... almost sixty bucks! Picked up some strings while I was at it.

Who could've predicted?

Heinold’s First and Last Chance Saloon in Jack London Square is a “museum where you are lucky enough to get a drink,” a former owner says.

The Epstein War...

As if the ICE killings in Minneapolis (and elsewhere) didn't illustrate how the prick in the White House was willing to kill Americans...

Me in 1979, when Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini ruled Iran...

"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?" Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.

they renamed it the Department of War so it would be that much easier to just add “Crimes” at the end of it

From a prompt...

I have a bad case of regime change envy.

For all you Detectorists fans, a new and brilliant series from Mackenzie Crook...

The US hockey bros who met with Trump should only be asked questions about Heated Rivalry during interviews. Nothing about the Olympics. When they bring up their gold medal, the response should be, “That’s nice.. so, anyway, are you a Shane or an Ilya?” “What was the hottest scene and why?”

I'm predicting that the Corporatist Court with rule that air/water pollution = free speech.
