Record collector, jazz student, primary care provider. Think I am funnier than I am.
OK, so this is the usual firehose of lies, smears, and BS. But one interesting thing: he admits without caveat that parents should get MMR. If I'm a news org, I would clip that and play anytime he's on.
😳 RFK Jr's epic CNN crashout 😳 Dana Bash pressed RFK Jr on Trump's culpability for mishandling covid and the misinformation he pushes about vaccines, and the segment wound down with him getting mad and barking at her like a rabid dog Here's the full thing:
Found a NWWList monster today. Synthetic, saxes, no blues licks. Top shelf Krautrock.
It will never happen, but I hope Randy Paul and the rest of them have to apologize to every healthcare provider and public health worker from the CDC on down to LHJ who put their lives on the line every day of 2020.
This is obscene. Moreno and people like him were the reason our COVID response was compromised by political and economic pressures. And now they want to blame the scientists. We are no longer a serious country, and we probably won't be soon.
Moreno to Fauci: "Who the fuck did you think you were?"
@brokensymmetry.art Barry Walker Unit tonight. You going? Im coming down, I think.
Everybody dunking on the Atlantic MAHA article, but I have one more: When people ask in good faith "did vaccines cause this person to have autism." Science responds with "thankfully, we've studied this well and found no link." Exactly no one said "shut up ignoramous."
@themodernfolk.bandcamp.com I might be in town tomorrow. Any chance you'll be playing sonewhere?
I hope he sued those sticker guys for nicking his logo. This is a great LP, btw. The pedal steel/talking drum style is one of my fave variants on highlife.
This might be the best album I routinely find in dollar bins. Sandy is one of the best of the American primitive guitar players, and hes got Ornette Coleman's drummer here.
If I were in charge of the diarrhea response, I'd protect the vulnerable from infection and let it rip through healthy people to build herd immunity to Cyclospora. Can I run the FDA now?
This is another one of those records where promos are as common as shelf copies. I think that means the label thought they had something, but public didnt agree. This is nice horn heavy dance soul. Kinda similar to Baby Huey w/less singing. Sonny Sharrock on most tracks.
But wait, I remember hearing that children didnt spread COVID? This was always my pushback on the let it rip crowd - that opening schools would have led to this type of spread at a time our systems couldnt handle it. I suppose I won't get my apology.
Statens Serum Institut studied 1,106,493 grandparents. Recorded SARS-CoV-2 infection was 9.9% more likely after grandchildren’s birthdays and 15% more likely after preschoolers’ birthdays, implicating small family gatherings. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
My irrationally angry hill to die on is people exploiting disability law to bring their fecking dogs into the grocery store. My daughter is wheelchair height and they get up in her face and it scares her. Monsters.
Terribly socialized dogs, off leash dogs, people bringing their dogs into business despite signs posted forbidding it, huge badly behaved dogs on the subway, I stg I saw an OFF LEASH DOG in TRADER JOE’S during RUSH HOUR
Two thoughts: - I dont wanna dunk on a dude for being sick, but this is a problem with branding yourself as a fake health expert - my news feed juxtaposed this with Joey Chestnut, hotdog champ. Who will live longer? Not a given, we dont control these things as much as we think.
A man who publicly was doing something which, when done wrong, can cause graft-vs-host disease, an autoimmune disease which can attack, among other things, your GI tract, now has an autoimmune disease which is attacking his GI tract. What a coincidence.

It was such a pleasant surprise to see that they were back on the road. I saw them right after Fe came out - one of the first Rough Trade US LPs.
Souled American - Frozen Never thought I'd see this band live and tonight I'll see them for the 2nd time in a year. #firstrecordoftheday
Always hits different when you have a person with severe disability in your life that we care more about the pets
Communities around the U.S. are putting on epic fireworks shows for America's 250th birthday — but that spells trouble for dogs and cats. Here's a guide to help the animals in your life. n.pr/4wduXmP
Where's all the modern classical heads at on bluesky? Ive been trying to find the Deutsche Grammaphon Avant Garde series albums, and want some tips on the heavy titles. Anyone?
Going deep on 1985 this cloudy morning. Man, the art dept must have really hated Nick Lowe.
www.dni.gov/index.php/ne... Wild accusations from people not acting in good faith. I can't wait for government by conspiracy theory to end.

My local HS has a mascot logo that looks like it was copied from the Trapper Keeper of a metal hesher circa 1985.
This is a really funky soul jazz record on a great label. Like the Grant Green LPs of the time, but a little more fuzz and rock beats. Should be a three figure LP, but it gets by for way less. Grab one.
This is going to create all sorts of burdens on primary care. I have probably 500 medicaid recipients on my panel. Every variety of employed, unemployed, and between. Now, I gotta be the arbiter of who gets to keep care and who doesn't? Based on what?
Adults on Medicaid will be required to work 80 hours per month. The Trump administration says people who are sick will have to prove they are too sick to work to be exempt from the new work rules. n.pr/3RK4U7X
There was really a US brand called Heil in the post-war years? Seems kinda problematic
