This place feels like switching from heroin to methadone, the same thing(kinda) but none of the accompanying poison lol. (Apologies to non addicts-in-recovery types for the meaningless analogy lol)

Trump must be very happy with the elite media coverage, which has by and large been breathless. For shame.

Now he is retired what a pro wrestler Tanahashi has been. Aside from pretty much saving New Japan from the Inoki disaster he was their top guy for over a decade and Tanahashi Vs Okada is without doubt one of the greatest rivalries in all of pro wrestling(not to mention Naito also in the mix) #NJPW

Pod—The Breeders

Debauched and delightful, profane and angelic, this album is awash with a filthy kind of beauty compounded by Kim and Albini's perfect union. It also boasts my favourite Beatles cover of all time. As debuts go, it's glorious.

Paul Robeson singing for Republican Troops in January 1938 in Tarazona de la Mancha, Albacete, where the Abraham Lincoln Battalion were quartered. His repertoire included L’Internationale and ended with Ol’ Man River. You can also see him in the second photo after performance.

Martha Gelhorn, among the most perceptive foreign journalists to cover the Spanish Civil War. When asked in 1983 of her abiding memory of the war, she answered ‘The enormous bravery of the people, absolutely unbelievable bravery under appalling conditions.’

Sabotage—The Beastie Boys

This one will probably come up a lot over the next few days. For good reason too: It's one of the most wantonly joyous videos ever made.

Spike Jones at his peak, and the lads give superbly charismatic performances.

To fully understand the Bashir/Garak thing in "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine", you need to understand that Garak first appears in the second episode, very obviously trying to arrange a hookup with Bashir – like, it's *just barely* subtext – and then the network was like "what the fuck" [...] (1/2)

(2/2) [...] and ordered to showrunners to knock it off with the gay shit, and as a result, Garak promptly disappears from the show for twenty episodes, next appearing in the fifth episode of season two. Can you imagine what that did to folks who were watching in real time?

For the unacquainted, this is literally Garak's first on-screen appearance. It's about two minutes long, but watch until the end. Trust me.

One of the first great debuts of the period, dropping in April 1990, you knew from first listen this was a group that would be a massive part of Hiphop's future. And so it proved.

Outside of Studio Ghibli, Akira has to be amongst the greatest anime films of them all, I watched it for the first time in years and it's epic, especially for 1988. How many anime and manga creators were inspired by this movie?

It becomes clearer every day why Trump cares not a toss about Ukraine or Gaza, by his logic might is simply always right. If you're physically capable of abusing people feel free. Its a vile form of social Darwinism and his cult are all on board, pretty ironic given they're mostly creationists

If Nicolás Maduro stands trial in the United States and gets convicted of 34 felonies, does that mean he’s qualified to be our next president now?

Just checking what the standards are these days.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

The very same "president" that asked his generals if they could just shoot the American protesters in Washington D.C. during his first term.
