Bach. The answer is clearly Bach: it is mathematical, it is precise, it follows clear rules that defined Western music for hundreds of years. This is where you start: it is the Rosetta stone of western music. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_4l...

Hmmm, looks like some Republicans in North Carolina want to legalize domestic homicide, if a man is killing a pregnant woman. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Latest Republican "It's gay to date women" moment.

Also: is Ted Nugent still alive? They should give him a call regardless.

Thos is so stupid. Air traffic in red state airports is already maxed out (Atlanta, Dallas, Houston). They cannot safely handle the influx. And airports at places like DesMoines or Dayton are too small to absorb it either. The flights won't go somewhere else, because there is no somewhere else.

A good reminder that even vast wealth can't buy good taste. #WhiteTrashWH

There's some real "Comrade Stalin's Glorious Soviet Worker's Paradise" level of knob glazing going on here.

Republicans accuse Democrats of being transgender the same way the Nazis accused political opponents of being Jewish. I said what I said.

"Talarico has become an object of intense scorn among America’s right-wing Christian extremists." (from March) www.liberalcurrents.com/right-wing-a...

1. Major news. The Maine trans sports and bathroom ban referendum will NOT appear on the November ballot, baring an appeal. It turns out the paid-by-signature gatherers submitted potentially fraudulently collected, improper, or even forged signatures. Our latest report.

1. Today, Louisiana Republicans rejected a bill targeting care for trans adults, at least for now. HR 290 requested that the anti-trans Louisiana Dept. of Health investigate whether gender-affirming care causes psychosis and would’ve likely resulted in restrictions on informed consent HRT.

Do you think a Democratic president will set up a fund for all the transgender servucemembers whose lives and livelihoods were destroyed by Trump? Yeah, I didn't think so either.

60 Minutes confirms Iran is bypassing the US blockade and exporting 100,000 more barrels of oil per day than before the war. Most of it is reportedly going to China.

WTF. I'm kind of liking Pope Leo. Maybe he'll go so far as to say stop being a **** to trans people. One can dream, I suppose.

MAGA lives in a manufactured state of unreality. My latest at The New Republic. newrepublic.com/article/2108...

Wow. Read this.

Don't know if this counts, but this is still an all time electronic banger. youtu.be/75V4ClJZME4?...

If you watched the show, read the source material, you would this wad ALWAYS the fate in store for Homelander. He was always a sniveling coward without his ability to abuse people. Just. Like. Trump.

This is the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA). There is no complicated math: they ask you to subtract a single digit number from a 2-digit number less than 100, and do it 5 times in a row. You can see an example below. Either he's lying, he thinks it's hard, or he forgot the question.

The Daily Mail published an article about me but all it did was prove my point. Vote for @nithyaforthecity.bsky.social on June 2nd for mayor of Los Angeles.

The autopsy used the word "transgendered" [sic], which is basically the linguistic equivalent of blaming the election on "negroes". One has only to read that one word and realize the author is so out of touch and ignorant that anything they opine should be disregarded.

This is the darkest accidental thing I have ever seen. The Russian recruiting posters here call it "A Job for Real Men" The name on the blue bus stop placard reads: "Meat Processing Plant"

Over the past seven weeks there has been a lot of movement in the back half of the draft. Here's four more players that have emerged as potential picks for the Suns at 47. www.brightsideofthesun.com/suns-draft-r...

Because he's not our king, he's not trying to be our king, and he's a figurehead in his own country. God's, Vance is so deliberately pedantic and sophomoric.

A story about KY GOP Senate nominee Andy Barr: In 2019 he got mad at AOC and demanded she come to his district to visit a coal mine. She said yes, which he didn't expect, so he withdrew the invitation. Then it turned out there were no working coal mines in his district. Because he's an idiot. 1/3

Separate but equal strikes again.

Local-pizza.ca They do Italian-Indian fusion. The tandoori pizza is stunningly good.

JK Rowling referred to Posie Parker as a "genius" years ago, in her capacity as an an anti-trans leader in her movement. Posie appeared at a Tommy Robinson march on the weekend calling for Islam to be banned in the UK. You'd think a mainstream journalist might seek a quote from Rowling on it, right?

Alien: And how did you run out of water? Earthling: Machines drank it. Alien: Machines. Earthling: We had to feed machines the water. Aliens: So the machines were holding your planet hostage for water. Earthling: No, we made the thirsty machines. They worked for us. Alien: End communication.

Rep. Tim Burchett told Fox News that he doesn't "drink out of a straw" because "that's what the women in my house do"

Written by the health "reporter" at the NYT who is constantly questioning every minute detail of youth gender care, seen here writing with praise about conservatives abusing testosterone.

Don't tell Pete Hegseth, but the most lethal and effective fighting force in the world today might be Ukraine. ICYMI @brynntannehill.bsky.social:

If most of the US ended up allergic to pork, beef, and dairy, it would cause economic chaos. It's also probably the best thing that could happen to the environment: most US land is used for grazing or feed. thehill.com/policy/healt...

Pretty much.

The best way to ban it under US law is to allow a private right of action to sue conversion therapy practitioners so broad and deep that their great grandchildren will still be paying off the debt when they lose in court.

Idiocracy

Almost all of the military items that JD Vance in 2024 argued the United States would have to provide (or not provide) to Ukraine turned out to be largely irrelevant. And not because Ukraine is losing. @brynntannehill.bsky.social on Putin's brutal math:

My latest at The Bulwark. Ukraine has figured out how to kill lots of Russians very cheaply, and each dead Russian costs a lot of money. The math for Russia is unsustainable.

History I did not know, but glad I fldo now.

History says they'll probably succeed.

Legal Calvinball. Anyway, the US has no hope of recovery as long as Roberts and his flying monkeys control the court. Which is to say, expand the court, or enjoy 75 years of darkness. Your choice.

Trump is self-parody. FFS, the US is getting exactly what it deserved voting him in. Birch Barlow: So, my friends, let's just junk those Dumbocrats and their bleeding-heart smellfare program. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVLZ...

Interesting how this aligns with the fall of Orban....

NEW: Iran’s latest counterproposal to the US shows that significant differences between the US and Iran’s negotiating positions remain. The Iranian regime insists on asserting its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz and appears unwilling to make meaningful concessions on its nuclear program. (1/7)
