Music I grew up with and 20 years prior wasn't the peak of performance. There are several talented artists making amazing art today. Mainstream radio isn't better today though, but streaming has really changed the local radio market.

if establishment candidates want to start winning primaries again all you have to do is say that rich people have too much money and that youll prosecute trump admin staffers and republicans that have broken the law

By this metric, only 75 congress members of the 12,000 who have ever served have broken the law.

Feels like we should have some way of stipulating, in political arguments, that being poor really sucks and makes pretty much every aspect of life harder. We shouldn't have to reinvent and debate that specific wheel every time.

Max Miller on why he's staying in the race: "When we go back to 2015 and 2016, & people in the media looked at President Trump, & everyone came out with allegations. Dozens of women, dozens of crazy allegations, dozens of nasty criminal misconduct. And you know what he did? He stayed in the fight."

If there ever was a moment for liberal clergy to call out people like Mike Johnson, it's now. His absurd sticking his fingers in his ears act to not do the right thing and act pious at the same time is something that can be challenged. His evangelical sect are the only strong support for Trump.

I know somebody who works at Taco Bell in a state that wasn't affected. But they were. Customer volume is way down since the outbreak, even though they were responsible, and as I said even in areas not impacted. So the hours for staff were reduced starting last week. Go get a Baja Blast at least.
