No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Dave’s a real one. Back in college, a buddy and I drove up from Seattle to see him play a 3+ hour set in a tiny Canadian club. Now, my music taste runs all over the map but generally does not sit all that adjacent to DMB, yet to this day it is the best live show I’ve been to.
Dave Matthews and Tim Ryenolds playing Neil Young’s Ohio last night and ends with some Rage Against the Machine.

alright let’s get something more pleasant going. what two books would you leave out on your coffee table so a reporter can mention you have them. doesn’t matter if you’ve read them. for me it’s Pale Fire (which I did read) and Ulysses (got like 15% of the way in)

Our oldest being (briefly) home from their first year of college, we got up to Fort Worden for the day—a favorite of both kids.
