Bumping for Partridge's bday, the song, and the terrific Quietus article about Partridge and English Settlement. Two listens today. It's gotta be the third most listened-to
Andy Partridge is 72 today and *English Settlement* is one of my five most listened-to albums, possibly the third

What Really Happened with the CIA and The Paris Review?: A Conversation with Lance Richardson by Dan Piepenbring
November 11, 2025 – “In a funny way, it was really the fact that writing is far too solitudinous an activity that gave us The Paris Review. Along with the CIA, of course.”

What if no Democratic senator *wants* Schumer's job?
Schumer is the symptom growing out of the putrid cess pool that is the corpse of the democratic party establishment. The rot is at the core of the party & its obsession with billionaire dollars to keep them millionaires. They are fed scraps by them & they rejoice while throwing us under the bus.
One Weird Trick to Get Rid of Chuck Schumer - The American Prospect
Multiple Democratic groups, House members, and candidates say it’s time for the Senate minority leader to go. It turns out any single Senate Democrat can force a vote on Schumer’s job.

I live in Moco, you're my senator, effing challenge Schumer for leadership or stfu.
I’ve voted 7 times to reopen the government in a way that holds Trump accountable for his lawlessness and prevents a health care crisis.

I’m prepared to work toward a compromise, but this “deal” before us does not come close to meeting those terms. Voting NO.

The contrast could hardly be sharper. My friends and neighbors, armed only with whistles and voices, spend their weekend fighting off heavily-armed paramilitary goons. Meanwhile, these jagoffs capitulate, but not before securing another $1 billion for their own security.

at this point, I kinda don’t know what else the Dems could do to tell anyone to the left of Biden to fuck off any harder than they already have and yet you still clamor to reform these people who hate your fucking guts and would be happy if you died
