Tangential, but
News outlets have to take note of this. A UN commission has found that Israel’s actions in Gaza meet all the legal qualifications of a genocide. This is now officially the Palestinian Genocide and any attempt to claim otherwise is genocide denial. Enough of the ‘Israel’s defending itself’ bollocks.

I mean, they’re a 501(c)3 and their 990s are available on line. You’d be astounded what some of the denizens of that C-suite are pulling down.

Tangential, but first time I saw Soccer Mommy was at Shank Hall in Milwaukee. They were opening for Luna. And the entire band was under 21 so had to wear these pink wrist-bands so the bar-tenders knew not to serve them. 😂 They were also quite fun live!
I may have missed it but haven’t seen anyone explicitly suggest Coney sauce. Midway could def use a good Coneydog shop!
