Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit
Amidst what we now take to be the usual sturm und drang of the instantaneous news cycle, one factoid this week stands out to me as potentially significant if only I knew what to actually make of it. Twenty percent of the Republican voters* who turned out for an uncontested presidential primary in I...

Re: Rolling Stones 2024 tour
They're only opening one show. Different openers for each one I think. Tyler Childers (!) in Orlando. Kaleo, which the internet describes as "an Icelandic blues rock band," is opening Philly which is kinda disappointing. Also I know Van is traveling from Philly to Houston for the opener on Sunday. ...

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit
"I want to start by wishing my wife Melania a very happy birthday," Trump told reporters in the downtown Manhattan courthouse hallway. "It'd be nice to be with her, but I'm at a courthouse for a rigged trial." What a lovely birthday present to be reminded publicly that your husband cheated on with p...

I just want to take a moment to recognize myself for my evolved level of maturity. Today I was giggling to myself as I watched Rachel Maddow say "Pecker" over and over. I've really come a long way since Jr. High. Go me!

So what's it all mean?

The pathetic human being known as JD Vance just wrote a (not surprisingly) pathetic defense of the no aid to Ukraine position in the Washington Post. Unfortunately the comments section was closed by the time I got around to it. It's not like I think that JD or even any of his staff will read or car...

After seeing the band on Thursday and Sunday, I'd say if you have an opportunity to catch one of these shows to do it. Both nights were great and the sets had some good variation to them. Bruce sounds really good so far on this run. Yeah, the last couple of days I've been really wondering whether I...

You are probably looking at a 90min show, tops. HOWEVER...with Shovels & Rope opening...thats a good double. I'd say go to the show.

Always go to the show.

I never approached the issue like this. To me, it is a no-brainer policy decision to raise it. Clearly, a very unpopular position from a political perspective, but seemingly necessary from a financial standpoint. The age discrimination angle certainly changes the lens through which I now view it. I...
