40 years in terrestrial radio, but it’s flickering now. Pull out the cord and plug it back in again. See if that works. I got nothing else.

"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

Shut up, Jeff Bezos, and your propaganda rag, the current Washington Post. The Kennedy Center is only in trouble because the lowbrow idiot Donald Trump and his stupid, uncultured minions interfered with it, driving away audiences. Adding his vulgar name will *guarantee* bankruptcy, not avoid it.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. Big Tech buys off Congress. No action on AI safety. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

So if Joe Biden had made an arena full of Democrats raise their right hands and pledge that he was the greatest president in history, told them they’d go to hell if they didn’t vote, and then announced he was going to cheat like hell, MAGA would’ve been totally normal and reasonable about it, right?

I can’t watch replays of what happened on 9/11. I just can’t. I couldn’t watch “Flight 93.” Those images are right here in my brain. Always will be. You can imagine what it’s like for the families of the victims, and first responders and their families Give them whatever they need. In perpetuity.

9/11 victim Michael Massaroli’s son: "You do my dad's legacy & the legacy of all victims no honor using this tragedy to spread hate. I've had to spend 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers & sisters, people who don't look like them."

25 Years later … the world will never forget. All the lives lost, the brave firefighters, military, paramedics and every day people helping those in danger. My heart goes out to all those families that lost loved ones!

Upshot of 9/11: two stupid wars costing thousands of lives and billions of $ (including “borrowing” from the Social Security fund) profits for the defense industry, jingoism, heightened government surveillance, militarized police force, fear-mongering…and Orange Foolius. Then another stupid war.
