I don't know has a band ever faded as much as REM. I am sampling various MTV shows form 1994-1996 and it is kind of amazing now, how pervasive and massive they were.

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

Someone today suggested that the German military could really benefit from using the bases the Americans currently occupy. Germany's political stability depends more on keeping the far right at bay than American bases so fuck off, JD.

I don't think this US admin's democratic credentials suggest they would limit themselves to a free and fair election to remove Zelensky if they decide he is an obstacle to whatever it is they are cooking up. How does Europe deal with that scenario...
