Using this to ask… you posted about a book about the Ottoman Empire a couple months ago. It sounded great but I couldn’t remember the name when I went looking last week. What was it? Thanks.

I feel like either Springsteen or Petty are the right kind of famous Americana, but neither have the right signature hint and are better at making albums than singles. Promised Land or Badlands are right thematically but not famous enough.

It’s the same thing as the Dark Brandon thing. “Even though your agenda kind of sucks, I’m at least happy that you’re at least trying to pass it”

When it becomes a bad deal for Exxon and Raytheon and JP Morgan Chase, probably. Or is that what the courts have done in the past month?

Isn’t the bigger contrast than their gender pretty obviously the constituency? Agreeing to (some) climate action in WV is obviously harder than blowing up a plan (while doing some other not awful stuff) in NY??? Let’s not make this harder than it needs to be?

You never really get a chance because they don’t hand over their cards anymore. I worked retail off and on 2011-2021 and asked for an ID at the customer’s request maybe twice.

Pelosi should have held impeachment hearings in the bunker on 1/6, or at least on 1/7. I will never understand.

Never done counters, but we did paint -> flooring, and had to basically repaint all of the baseboards. Far beyond a touch up

It’s also a little harder to give the generous “don’t be mean to him he’s 19” also he’s being platformed by one of the three remaining magazines and his peers are being beat by the cops.

I would have thought this picture would have the same notoriety by now as some of the ones from the 60’s but not really. Like the country just processed and left that shit there like it never happened. Pretty fucking bleak

Thank you so much for better articulating my feeling of “why does this album sound like a pile of antonoff synth flavored mash potatoes”

Wiley Nickel is my rep, a totally bland dude most famous for talking to Jerome Powell about the Grateful Dead in a congressional hearing. He was elected closely in a purple district in NC that has since been gerrymandered to hell. No chance in 2024. This is a pure expression of his beliefs.

Also, what if Pelosi had held emergency impeachment proceedings in the basement on January 6 while the president was cheering on an active attempted insurrection and a few republicans were scared.

It’s the general degradation of a norm to generally not try to fuck over society that really got accelerated when a guy got on stage in a presidential debate and said “of course I cheated on my taxes I’m not an idiot” and then got elected president.
