Starting a running thread of new music I’m listening to. Goal is one new album a day.
First up, Architects’ first album Hollow Crown. Great stuff. If I’d snagged it in 2009 when it released, it would have become a sizable part of my personality. I can see why Architects has the following they do.

King: So I believe that we are closer tonight to a vote on the ACA tax credits than we were this morning. This agreement tonight is a win for the American people.

So there’s another super normal and not at all suspicious trip to Walter Reed coming up this week?
Sergio Gor: "Mr president, this an an honor of a lifetime. I want to thank, first, you. What you have done for this country- before you came back in, the trouble this country was facing. Frankly, we were screwed. What you have achieved in 10 months has been historic, surpassed any other presidency"

So there's this thing called the Exeter Book, it's a codex from 1072 that's basically some rich guy's mixtape of Old English poetry. The interesting thing is it's heavily water damaged in the back half so the closer you get to the end of the book the more and more of each page is just missing

The book ends with a poem called "The Ruin", about a ruin, but the poem itself is ruined, full of holes, followed by about 30 pages of riddles that are increasingly impossible to solve because more and more words are missing. I don't know why I'm telling you this except it's one of my favorite facts

I think that, fundamentally, ending the shutdown without a commitment that congress actually controls how money is spent in this country is Very, Very Bad
but I am being thoroughly polarized away from that position's salience by the monstrous behavior of the sephiroth-posters who want starved kids

Not that there's a bunch of us, but I think a contingent of feds on here have been incentivized to just block 50% of the users here tonight, because man "you should eat shit indefinitely for undetermined reasons so I can poast about The Revolution" is a taek I guess, but not one I want to see
I, a 15-year career federal employee, am responsible for ACA subsidies being taken away.
Not the tens of millions of people who voted to give Donald Trump's Republican Party control of the American government, no, they're blameless victims. It's my fault and I should suffer for it.
fuck this shit.

There were eight votes here. King isnt a Democrat, Fetterman is Fetterman. Add four “small tight states with razor thin margins” Senators who don’t need a leadership push on this, and you’re left with Kaine and Durbin. IMO the only coordination here was Durbin covering for Warner.
The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

so currently defectors are:
Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)

Sen Gary Peters is in his own way the biggest embarrassment of the lot. He’s been a leader of Team Cave and he’s retiring. So there’s no politics or risk aversion. He wants to cave as a matter of genuine principle.
