Every time Trump does something he promised not to do, I see a bunch of "this time he's really split his coalition" articles. And it hasn't happened once. We are 10 years into his rise, and so many writers still don't see why he is so popular.

Clinic closed tomorrow, and a bunch of hard personal stuff is finally handled. Time for a round of "make it or break it," a game where we listen to albums that haven't played in a while. Break it LPs go to used record pile. Stop me if I make a mistake.

The best way to get a job in the national public health establishment in 2025 was to be a vocal critic of 2020 policy. The policy under president... who was it then? Does anyone remember?

Continuing my quest to dive deep into the lesser SST catalog. I saw this tour, so I have fond memories of the album, even if it is kinda mid. 1988 was a good year for heavy psych/proto-grunge.

Does anyone know this one? Private press 2nd LP (first was on a major subsidiary). Well produced, well played, and quirky. Maybe closest to 10cc, but a little more jammy. Lots of 12 string and neat keyboard sounds. Someone put $ into this. And how are there promos of a self release?

I've known some people who pretend to not believe in germ theory. I've never convinced any of them to share a needle or lick a toilet seat. They claim the beliefs, they don't live them.

In my college career as a short order cook, I fed celebs, including Jack Morris (jerk, btw), Dennis Rodman (pre-makeover), and Fred Rogers (wonderful).

Imagine trying to explain Kristi Noem to Richard Nixon. Like where would you start? The surgery?

I was part of local pandemic response as part of Medical Reserve Corps, a part of FEMA who respond to local crises. Good luck, America.

So who will be on the RFK ACIP? Ladapo? Weinstein? Paul Thomas? Wakefield? Tenpenny? Becky with the good hair from Twitter? Rob Schneider? When you get that it is all about revenge, these all seem plausible.

I was wondering when Bret Weinstein would have his moment. This country is sick to the core.

I never thought I'd see US police shooting at foreign reporters. This might be the most alarming thing I've seen yet.

Hearing from Bluesky that Roger has died. This is as whimpy as soft sike gets, but a worthy spin on a summer day. Goes for real scratch these days, used to be bin fodder.

While you are laughing at the WWE Elon feud sideshow, Russ Vought is going to destroy the social safety net.
