a man and woman are sitting at a table with the words " oh hello " on the top
Alt: a man and woman are sitting at a table with the words " oh hello " on the top - the preceding was the auto generated description and it rules (this is George St Geegland and Gil Faizon, charmed I’m sure)

Enough new folks here that it’s time for a pinned intro:
I like to post about David Lynch movies, Alan Moore comics, AEW, Columbo, video games that everybody finished years ago, 90s sketch comedy, and collectible screenprints.
I don’t like to talk about politics, but I seem to do it a whole lot.

"Scared of Charlotte" is a whole new level of "scared of cities" that I'd never even considered possible
Rep. Pat Harrigan: "I have asked Josh Stein, our governor, to consider working with President Trump to allow the National Guard to come into Charlotte ... use the National Guard as a force multiplier and they can a lot of load off the Charlotte PD."

re: the Senate bill's ban on hemp-derived THC products
not sure most people in legal recreational states realize just how much had become available to those of us still living in prohibition land

those of you in legal medical/recreational states may not know just how big the hemp-based THC business is, but this is a HUGE deal that, even setting aside the nanny state-ism, will kill a lot of jobs
Language in the bill may destroy the $70b Hemp industry and 325k jobs

one of my favorite things to do in used bookstores is to check out the occult/conspiracy section and look for self-published/vanity press books. struck gold yesterday with "The Infinite Concept of Cosmic Creation" by Ernest L. Norman.

You cannot separate the current nightmare we now inhabit from the collapse/crisis in how rich, powerful middle-aged men perceive masculinity, especially their own insecurities.
I’m sorry, but a goofy looking guy who grew up a privileged son of a pediatrician and has a phd in social theory from the university of Goethe and started in tech by investing an inheritance left to him by his grandfather talking about being a “dude” is very, very funny to me.

what an idiot
SCHUMER is on the floor now making this offer to end the shutdown:
Clean CR
Bipartisan "minibus" of approps bills
1-year ACA funding extension
Bipartisan cmte to negotiate on health care
"This is a reasonable offer that reopens the government, deals with health care affordability."

was mildly trepidatious about this ep, as Creedence is a band that I know very little about beyond "incredibly prolific for 3 years and then imploded," but whose music I love unreservedly, and Andrew can be really good at, well, giving you reservations
whew, all good
whew, all good
New episode just rolled out!
We’ve covered Tina; now it’s time for the steady, bluesy original. Andrew looks at “Proud Mary” and the brief but productive career of Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Available to listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and via Andrew’s website: 500songs.com/podcast/2714/

ryan is right. people HATE hearing this. but it is just a matter of simple incentives. if you want a more representative legislature — and if you want a legislature more resistant to corruption — then you need to jack up the salaries. serving as mayor of NYC should net you a cool 500K *at least*
people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up
The Mayor of New York only makes $260k. I bet there are police that make more than that in NY with overtime.
We need to pay elected leaders more money and stop pretending it's some sort of calling. They're managing hundreds of billions of dollars in investments and millions of people's lives.
