A rough beast? Slouching toward Jerusalem? In this economy?

“…and just like that, the DoD was back…”

I NEED Louisiana photo sky to GET ON THIS

Dr John - In The Right Place (1973)

Scored this at a record show last weekend. Dr John backed by The Meters and Allan Toussaint. Pure cajun fire.

The best album! 55 years old this month and still rocks.

Lemmings to the end.

singer from brass solidarity band shatters a sheet of ice as the band plays “lovely day” at the abolish ICE benefit festival in minneapolis held across the street from where federal agents murdered alex pretti in january

And just like that we’re back to “Department of Defense”

These are the 4 things AI can do well:

•Clean up your email inbox (badly)
•Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
•Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
•Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday

You can see why we need to base our economy around it

History Lesson: The flagship company of Brill Building pop music (actually located across the street at 1650 Broadway) was Aldon Music, founded by Al Nevins and Don Kirshner. Who says you can't go home again?

Was AI used for the targeting that likely resulted in the bombing of the girls school?

We must have answers to that question and there is ZERO reason for delay because the Pentagon damn well already knows the answer.

Optical illusion of a woman bent over some papers. Her sunglasses are pushed up and she is wearing a hair band so the top of her head looks exactly like a Muppet face

Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Not the Idoru I imagined, l’m afraid. (Actually the previous sentence can be two, as well.)

A Company Plans 4,000 Orbiting 'Sky Mirrors' to Shine Sunlight on Earth After Dark, Worrying Astronomers A startup wants to light up the night sky using giant mirrors in space. The idea could extend daylight for solar farms and nighttime operations.

There's been so much going on that I missed this story. WTF are we doing? @banditelli.org

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Now they're just volunteer haters.

If there was any justice in the world Kristi Noem (and Corey) would be sent straight to ICE detention. And everybody else freed.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

And his own beard.

The White House reports that Kristi Noem's new job is on a farm in the country where she'll have plenty of room to run and run and run

It’s so cool how we’re in a large-scale military conflict and the President is spending his time building a ballroom.

This rocks. I finally know what being a Roman must have felt like.

He emails Sarah Huckabee Sanders to see if she has any jets...

Listen, the puppy didn’t see it coming either

Self described dog murderer Kristi Noem slumps off the public scene and nominee Markwayne Mullen looks to head DHS and FEMA, with less expertise than a wombat.

Here is Trump's new pick to be Secty of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin getting so rattled in a Senate hearing by union leader Sean O'Brien that he threatens to fight him. Imagine how much Mullin would freak out in a real crisis?!!

A picture of PEW poll on global attitude survey, saying the % who rate the morality and ethics of people in their country as good vs bad, where the US has the worst rankings and Canada the best

Americans: we live in a fallen state—embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best

Canadians: I love my neighbors and my friends!

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.
