Here are some thoughtful and thought-provoking remarks about all of this. Very much worth the time, if I may be so bold: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zhpi...

Sorry, wrong Urbain and wrong century. Wild film, though. :)

A Mad King has usurped the power of Congressβ€”which represents the American people. That is, he has seized power that belongs to you and me collectively. He has declared war without consultation with or approval from Congress. And with no imminent threat. This is a profound betrayal of the republic.

Lord Huron’s β€˜The Cosmic Selector, Vol.1’ is my 2025 favorite.

That's true enough. But so is Morning Edition's slow rightward drift over the past year at least. To this decades-long listener it's unmistakable, and this story is but one more example. My $.02.

Get the vaccine. I myself had very little reaction to it (less than to flu or covid boosters), perhaps you will, too. What I do know is I watched my father tough out a case of shingles and I never saw him suffer more.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence πŸ”₯

it is amazing how so much tech gets unremittingly worse year on year at whatever you once used it for and less pleasant to use and more bound up with creepy politics as well as personal and environmental harms and yet also still less productive of actual goods and these are somehow great visionaries

Respect the Drummer A new history of rock, told through its overlooked heroes

A new history of rock makes the case for the long-overlooked drummerβ€”and the great mystery of the instrument, James Parker writes.

Udo Kier, German Actor Who Appeared in β€˜My Own Private Idaho,’ β€˜Andy Warhol’s Frankenstein,’ Dies at 81 Udo Kier, a German actor who collaborated with everyone from Andy Warhol to Lars von Trier to Madonna, died on Sunday morning. He was 81.

Oh, man. One of cinema's most reliable weirdos, and I mean that in a highly complimentary fashion. RIP.

In an era filled with tech dipshits who never developed emotionally past the age of 13 & use their wealth to become odious monsters ...

... listen to Steve Wozniak.
