Looks quite likely that Missouri is about to ban abortion rights again - not that many voters will know it. Most of the messaging on the Yes side is for something that doesn't exist (sex changes for children, I guess), with little to no pushback from the No side. No "They're Lying to You" messaging.

Jamie Reed, the former social worker at a St. Louis transgender clinic, made the case for Amendment 3 last month before a room full of Republicans in St. Louis County. “If we talk to people about the trans part of this amendment,” she said, “we can get it to pass.” #moleg #mogov

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

There are these clear waves of the degradation of the GOP. Pre-Trump, you had GOP politicians who believed in bad stuff, but with some tier of dignity and integrity to their beliefs. They acted with decorum and followed norms.

Mike Rogers is a corporate sellout who moves back to Michigan every few years to run for office to take another swing at the revolving door of corporate politics.

Heard of Ella. Never heard the song. It was the same for me with Despacito — just a massive, zeitgeist-y song that I had no earthly need to hear.

I’m Back! Back in the old MO-2. Still gerrymandered AF, but winnable for Dems in a wave year. GOPers thought they had a beeline to a 7-1 map and now it can potentially end up 5-3.

For the third time in just over two weeks, the Supreme Court declined to let Missouri Republicans jam through a maximal gerrymander, this time with an air of exasperation.

Are you catching @themountaingoats.bsky.social with Candlebox tonight at the Pageant? Check out my very fun conversation with John Darnielle where we discuss how this show came together, their new album “Days,” the power of great openers, and more!

The Mountain Goats head to The Pageant with Candlebox

Following a sold-out show at Delmar Hall in May, The Mountain Goats were recently announced as the direct support for grunge legends Candlebox for a short run of shows in September, which includes a show at The Pageant on September 17. The announcement also coincided with the release of “Candlebox,” the third single from the […]

Still thinking about the bungled Emmys, in particular, the death tribute. Macaulay Culkin and the Schitt's Creek folks looking like a very uncomfortable blended family at a wake. A Dolly Parton tribute that could have focused on her great, funny TV work on Carson and various talk shows, but instead>

Pleasantly baffled. Is there enough crossover where TMG fans will stick around for some soft-grunge action?

Today my daughter Jadzia would have turned 21. Would she have wanted to try some wine, or maybe share a cider with her Papá? I don't know. Her life was cut short by Marfan Syndrome, a connective tissue disorder which affected her heart and caused other issues. give.marfan.org/renaudempire... (1/2)

Was there for this. Never seen a moment quite like it. In person or otherwise. I’ve seen players bid farewell knowing they’ll leave in the offseason. I’ve seen players welcomed back for the first time after a move. I’ve never seen someone just traded/transferred come out and say goodbye like this.

Justice Samuel Alito, one of the Supreme Court's staunchest conservatives, does not plan to retire before the court finishes its upcoming session, he said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. https://cnn.it/4q5Snc0

The Fauci hearing was a MAGA mobbing, as smirking liars vied for attention from right-wing media. For anyone who cares about science policy it was embarrassing; for anyone who cares about truth and decency it was appalling; for anyone who cares about American democracy it was a national disgrace.

Mark this well. A public servant who performed admirably in a crisis is being publicly persecuted, maybe prosecuted. Govt websites are being given over to propaganda. Fake medicines are being praised while lifesaving vaccines are lied about. Slanderous grifters cackle their triumph. Despicable.

Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.

Overland couple shot dead in Guatemala after local ICE stop led to deportations

The couple’s 14-month-old daughter was found crying beside her mother’s body in a sugarcane field last week, according to Guatemalan authorities and media.

Top with Counting Crowes and add Toad the Wet Sprocket and Cracker, and this would be the festival of festivals for 90s chill rock enthusiasts. Gen X’s version of Yacht Rock but for folks who just pulled from their 401k to put a gazebo in their backyard and balding guys who insist on their ponytail.
