Music. And pretending everything else is totally fine.
With debut albums coming from Cardinals & @riaruamusic.bsky.social here’s a piece from the new issue of The Goo about some other debuts from Irish acts like Wilt, NewDad, & Pelvis
No, not Democrats being “bused in”—just regular Nebraskans waking up to the fact that their Social Security is on the chopping block to fund tax cuts for billionaires. Great piece by PBS.
It was the worst of times, it was the worst of times.

2018: Trump’s USAID hatchet man, Peter Marocco, secretly met w/Christian nationalists—defying US policy & undermining a fragile peace deal. Now, he’s echoing Kremlin sentiment, in front of Congress. US foreign policy under Trump: empowering extremists & gutting efforts to promote global stability.
Flood The Zone… Time to plaster those “Trumpflation” stickers everywhere! Let’s make sure everyone knows who’s responsible for draining their wallets.
No further debate—Trump’s DEI policy is clearly racist. The Pentagon is flagging for removal, historic photos of Black & brown heroes who served, claiming they “promote DEI.” The military was segregated until 1948. Black people served while facing racism. Where was the DEI? Erasure is the point.
Sooo a crazy racist Brit thought my song Black And Tan was some sort of racist anthem. It's not.
The real State of the Union… not good! 📌 US employers cut more jobs last month than any February since 2009— the Great Recession.
Well... The Great Depression lead to the New Deal....so...maybe he will, accidentally, make America great again? This is a very roundabout way to, you know, help farmers, and build houses, and rebuild education. Etc.
(WSJ) - The world economy could face a crash similar to the Great Depression of the 1930s unless the U.S. rows back on its plans to impose steep tariffs on imports, a senior official at the International Chamber of Commerce warned. @wsj.com www.wsj.com/economy/trad...
I also found out recently that Monopoly sucks because it's SUPPOSED to suck. It was designed by a woman (and then stolen by a man) to show people the dangers of monopolies. In fact it had two modes monopoly and collectivism. Only the monopoly ver survived.
Woohoo!

US government looking to arrest or permanently expel college protestors. Fscism, innit.
The Iowa GOP advanced a bill making it a misdemeanor for a healthcare provider to administer a Covid vaccine. Even when a person has requested a Covid vaccine.

These people are psychotic and have no business in any leadership positions.
Speaking of the housing crisis, in the 9 months after the Irish government ended the eviction ban, 15,000 households were evicted. That's almost TWICE as many as were evicted annually at the height of the Famine. Let that sink in.
If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.
