These appalling pardons a good reminder just how guilty these SOBs were of trying to overturn a democratic election, and how much exposure all of these insurrectionists had. Oh, and what a colossal failure the Biden administration was in holding people to account

As a 47-year-old I can confirm that while I like Fleetwood Mac, it's been quite surprising to see how much younger generations have taken to them, given that when I was a kid there was literally a big hit record about how Fleetwood Mac were shit music for old people.
I'm not saying 'only people aged 47 to 55 think Fleetwood Mac are bad' - obviously people of all ages have different opinions. But only people in that v specific age group think that 'Fleetwood Mac are bad' is a common sense, commonplace opinion.

The DC grand jury refusing to indict on a felony and the petit jury finding him not guilty is a great example of why people in power have tried so hard for so many decades to prevent cases from getting to juries. It's one of the most important, basic forms of democracy.

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

The fact that "the narrative"shifted so dramatically overnight shows the uselessness of a narrative driven by a media complex with no interest in reflecting reality. It was convenient for bootlicking outlets to construct a narrative of trumpist mandate after a squeaker election in 2024
