Today there was a dead cat in the grass across the street. Another down the road.

Tonight a small rabbit shot across my car. It's eye was an ember caught on the wind.

An old friend called, told me he nearly died a year ago, then asked after my soul. I didn't have an answer. Not really.

They're not suppressing the Epstein files to keep people from knowing that he's guilty.

They're suppressing them because they're not ready for everyone to know that it doesn't matter β€” they've seized power and have no intention of giving it back. His crimes are immaterial to them.

I really like Noah Kahan.

His music is not "country." Having an acoustic guitar and a mention of natural features does not make something "country."

At least twangpop was trying to be country. Now y'all are just slapping branding stickers on shit all willynilly to sell your identity.

It's gross

Seems a good time to revive this thread.

The world has since lost ManchΓ‘n. And what a loss.

I'd like to add to the list Joshua Burnside. I stumbled upon his album The Teeth of Time last autumn and am obsessed.

My house gets messy, but we're pretty good about not letting it get dirty.

I cannot say the same for my car. Disgusting. Absolutely awful.

Higher likelihood he just sent it to DoD or DHS without Congressional authority/appropriation and it's already spent.

Massie on Newsmax: "We're not getting the answers we need from Pam Bondi. I just spent 3 hours at the DOJ this week looking at the unredacted files. And I'm finding evidence of files they haven't released yet." (Note that the Newsmax anchor agrees with him!)

A gorgeous burled wood end/side table with a record player on top

A gorgeous burled wood end/side table with a record player on top

My SIL is a woodworker and will occasionally just call my wife and ask if we want absolutely gorgeous pieces of furniture because she's grown tired of them.

The answer is always yes. We'll get rid of other stuff to make room if we have to.

Anyway. Best turntable table ever.

So I guess it was either World War III or drag queens reading books to our children.

Such a coincidence that these were mistakenly flagged as duplicates... after being used in a slide deck about the Epstein investigation for the DOJ... LAST YEAR

He wants them to attack. That'll give him the excuse he's always wanted: declare martial law. Cancel or interfere with the elections. Pass emergency legislation allowing the full use of intel tech and military force against civilian "terrorists."

The Constitution is clear: Congress decides on war. When a president uses military force without authorization and Congress stays silent, they are abandoning their role as a co equal branch of government. War is the most serious power our government has. Shame on the U.S. Senate today.

ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, 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.

The primary passtime of our age is wondering if these people are idiots, or are operating on the assumption that we are.

Sometimes I wonder if I truly love the sound of trains, or if what I love is the sense that I am hearing an echo of the river. However polluted. However scattered with coal.

People who believe in an imminent Rapture/Armageddon don't have anything invested in what happens to you here on Earth. You are irrelevant to them and will be treated accordingly.

Every time I read the name of that river I think of Wonder Boys.

Solid book/movie.
