American Nightmare, indeed

incredible Brian Wilson self-edit here:

I'd say my favorite thing about the history of rock music is the arms race of sonic sophistication that took place between Brian Wilson, the Beatles, Phil Spector, Bob Dylan, and Berry Gordy, even the Stones if you want to be generous. This game of can you top this that everyone else started playing

"Places that Democrats run are good and nice and places that Republicans run are poor and backwards" is a slam dunk. Republicans have been making the opposite case for decades.

I couldn't NOT do this.

there really seems to be a strange “green lantern theory of fascism” that some people on this website have internalized, in which the white house’s desire for martial law — it’s desire for organized repression — is tantamount to a guarantee that it will happen

Somehow I doubt Jake Tapper is going to get put on leave for retweeting this.

I'm not sure there is a more perfect example of how cancel culture, at least how folks like him define it, doesn't exist. Because he has spent the last...decade? Fifteen years? Consistently making comics with some of the best artists in the business with lucrative publishing deals "Cancelled". Pfft

all due respect to Ya Kid K, but if you vote against an album with "Wicked Game" on it, you will not see heaven

The mainstream/centrist punditocracy seems to exist in an alternate universe around discussing protests where 1) BLM happened while Joe Biden was President and 2) it resulted in an electoral wipeout for Dems

If a second-term Dem was pushing a bill this unpopular, the national political press would be calling them "lame duck" in every mention and writing political obituaries. They instead act like Trump is widely popular because they like him and want to help him.

if you find one of these, BUY IT
