This is super important work. And it looks like it's actually having an effect. Normal people learn about Project 2025 and are scared as shitless as they should be. The Nation, The New Republic, Rolling Stone, Boston Review and others are doing the work that NYT and WaPo are neglecting.

(Joe Biden has tons of blood on his hands, the least he can do is give quick speeches.)

Jesus Christ, who doesn't actually prefer this to 90 minutes of fashy dick swinging? Centrist ramble and then out in under 20. Love it.

Pretty sure I'll take senile Biden over spry Harris.

The EPA also lied about the air quality in Manhattan, but people never seem to harp on that because true conspiracy is no fun when you can just riff.

I've read multiple books about 9/11 recently, and I'm tesm there was no conspiracy beyond blowback and institutional incompetence. NORAD initally lied about when jets were scrambled, because of course they did. The WTC also didn't have enough stairs, the NYPD and FDNY couldn't communicate, etc.

Pretty sure this was ghost-written for Trump by one of his handlers, because 1) it contains the word "abysmal" and 2) there are no inappropriate capitalizations.

That's so obviously the case. People are embarrassing for thinking otherwise.

Except for your incredible fake blues song: "five o'clock in the mornin/gotsta go to work/little boy." To say nothing of your incredible fake folk punk song.

I literally only know and quite like Going Up the Country, and that's a Henry "not the kid from ET" Thomas song -- yet another thing I forgot!

Ooh, that's right! I noticed that on a Wikipedia journey once. I fucking love Hank Williams, so TY, Rufus.

Charlie Parr is good, though. And not just because he constantly uses a quote from my blog on his website.

Honestly, though, the best thing white people ever did for the blues was pull a Lomax and preserve it.

He's like technically talented, and I cannot stand him. Did they really? This is like the pre-disco Beegees revelation! The Stones absolutely have their moments. I almost feel like they come off more like they actually are fans of the music.

Ooh, interesting! Goth, emo, and especially country rules (though black influence on country is STILL underrated). Maybe I just hate Eric Clapton and blues rock jam sessions, though.

Edward, sweet bb child, no. No, but months ago when I looked at dude's campaign website, it was suspiciously sane- looking, lots of no more spying and war, not a mention of the dreaded v-word. Kennedy has his lucid-sounding moments.

Truly good things about America: 1) The movie Independence Day (appropriately directed by an immigrant). 2) All versions of Dave Alvin's "Fourth of July" 3) The First Amendment 4) The Statue of Liberty (appropriately gifted by non-Americans, hmm).

There's a non-TERF woman that I forever confuse with Julie Bindel, and so every time I click on something by her, and I am surprised by how much it sucks.

They're actually pulling fellas is it gay/weak/woke to offer people cookies, aren't they? I thought I was missing something. There are so many terrible things about Biden. They're so bad at this.

I know wearing swastikas was a brief 70s punk presumable"fuck you, mum, I'm wearing the shirt of the guys that bombed you" fad. My understanding was that the non-Nazis like Sid Vicious and Siuxsie stopped doing that pretty quickly.

Jesus Christ. That further underlines the necessity of "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" I guess.
