news from the past
Freshly unearthed video of Han and Misha live in Groningen, NL, January 1977, a rare look at the instrument-switching/sharing days when both Misha and Han would play piano and violin and whatever else was within reach:

please stop watching CNN
Legacy media is such a fucking joke.
Following MTG's lengthy CNN sitdown interview, Wolf Blitzer tells her:

"You‘re a courageous politician, but more important, a loving mother. Thanks very much for coming in. We hope you‘ll come back here in the Situation Room."

reposting this to remind myself to see if it's already memoryholed by next week
This is a VERY well crafted lawsuit.
1) Plaintiff is natural born.
2) He was detained 2X in a fast-growing part of Alabama, not in a city that Brett Kavanaugh could be easily duped into believing was all migrants.
3) Unwarranted detentions were on private property.
4) He showed Real ID both times.
JUST IN: A U.S. citizen from Alabama who has been detained twice by ICE while working at a construction site, has filed a class action suit claiming ICE's broad warrantless arrest powers violate the constitution. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The central point is that when fascism came to America it wouldn't call itself that, nor would it be wearing a swastika. It would call itself "patriotic" and "100% American."

The media reaction to the death of Charlie Kirk should be a wake up call to everyone. Cancel your subscription, quit reading the works of people who think Charlie Kirk was practicing politics the right way, or that he was a decent human being. He wasn’t either of those things

calm down, this will all blow over soon, remember how we barely heard anything about the last politically motivated assassination of an elected politician 10 weeks ago, or, sorry, two elected politicians, while they were on stage actively cheering gun rights, oh actually they were at home asleep
I think it is always worth mentioning that Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were killed with their beloved dog Gilbert: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/u...

one great thing about this app is that every few minutes it demonstrates how much easier it is to point and laugh at the poor grammar and flagrant bad taste and shameless entitlement and moronic cruelty of the fascist bootlickers currently dismantling America than it is to do anything about it
