Ok, when you need a pick me up, this is delightful: I love her music and singing and apparently we are about to get a new album. My kid is now sharing my obsession with her vocals and I have also figured out just this morning two reasons why the ladies love him: he will wander around singing a Kali...

Can tell how much war sucks when there's debates over which is worse, killing kids with bullets, beheading them, or dropping bombs on them. Intentionality matters, cruelty matters, but in the end is cold comfort to those mourning. I pray this era of sorrow will fade ([edit: and] just be an era) and ...

Hehe, I made the 2010s 2020s error again today, this is only going to get worse hehe

I hadn't heard this song in probably 30 years and it's now on regular rotation for me. Such a banger!

I've returned to the most influential music list of my life, NPRs 2027 list of the 150 Greatest Album By Women. Starting last week I've been going up the list, revisiting the albums. There are mostly an immense pleasure, though I was wondering if six years later I'd suddenly grab onto an album that ...

What are YOU doing there hehe

ooooh. Guy has like the #2 song in America right now (pre-Drake) pretty cool sighting!

Frustrating that the Oslo Accords of the 90s should have been the start, imo, with each officially recognizing each other, the groundwork for a two state solution, security cooperation, etc, and that not only was the progress not added to, it was either stagnated, cheated, or actively reversed.

Phoebe is right again. Sick to my stomach. I saw some people tisk tisk Gal Gadot for saying stand with Israel, her country, and I'm like wow, they just had a 9-11 like event happen, hundreds of civilians are dead, how do you want her to react? How should we? I want peace. I want a two state solution...

Thanks for the stats. Wish it was more well known. Of course this is all because of "scary brown people." We as a human race need to declare war on othering. Not saying it's possible to totally remove "oh no, different people are scary" from our tribal instincts, but to make it s...

That'd be cool but Newsom says he's not going pick someone running for the seat next year, so the person will only be in place for 15 months and then be unemployed. Dunno if that'd be worth giving up being mayor of the second biggest city in the US. My uneducated guess is he'll pick someone who has ...

I'm not necessarily rooting against him, but not a fan of pompous coaches in general, well all except Jim Boeheim who was a fixture since I was a kid. He is grandfathered in. Fun fact, all of these organizations cheat, bend and break the rules, do things under the table, etc. I'm worried because of ...

For those who love eclectic albums with meaningful lyrics, Corinne Bailey Rae has got you covered! Black Rainbows jumps between soul and punk and piano ballads and psychedelia, and does it all speaking on Black lives. Erasure would feel home on a punk album or even sung by Radiohead. It is amazing. ...

Say you are an 80 year old president and your only surviving son has been indicted. You have the ability to pardon him, though it'd cost you any future election. What do you do: A. pardon him now, consequences be damned B. pardon him once he's convicted/sentenced C. you choose not to run for reelect...

I finally got to Season 11 on the Simpsons, to the death of Maude, to the monkey knife fights, and it's still such a bummer. Though there are still a lot of good jokes, some golden-era memorable, the tone shift still feels abrupt and unappealing. Still unsure if I'm going to soldier on or maybe find...

Listening to the first one the second one autoplayed. What radio station are you listening to? Been diving, shallow, not quite deep, into the Shakira I missed. Those 20 years or so that she had global domination and I was doing something else. She's like, really really good. This one from last year ...

Counterintuitive for sure!

Heavy eye roll. Have to believe eight dashes mean nine. That Asia means China. That other lines also mean ownership (USA gets Cuba?). More likely an overreaction, but maybe an honest overreaction, it's a justifiably sensitive topic! Digital artists at WB can easily change it, why not. https://variet...

After the GOP knee-capped Affirmative Action, glad to see some are trying to go after donor and legacy admissions. If we are entering this Jim Crow 2 era, family members of donors getting in is like a Poll Tax and legacies getting in is The Grandfather Clause. But since all this isn't really about f...

Disappointing but unsurprising responses from many in the GOP this morning. But it's all strategy, nothing more. They already had their planned responses ready for weeks/months/years Only question they need to ask: is this the moment I break things off? And for those who have chosen "no" s...
