Greene’s cynical pivot away from full MAGA chud to more 90s-style sensible chud is either going to backfire spectacularly or be seen as one of the canniest moves in living memory, and if it’s the latter, we are super duper turbo fucked bsky.app/profile/phil...

Trump: “I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of ‘Congresswoman’ Marjorie Taylor Greene…”
Donald J. Trump -+ @realDonaldTrump I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of "Congresswoman” Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the Great State of Georgia. Over the past few weeks, despite my creating Record Achievements for our Country including, a Total and Complete Victory on the Shutdown, Closed Borders, Low Taxes, No Men in Women's Sports or Transgender for Everyone, ending DEI, stopping Biden's Record Setting Inflation, Biggest Regulation Cuts in History, stopping EIGHT WARS, rebuilding our Military, being RESPECTED by every Country in the World (as opposed to being the laughingstock that we were just 12 months ago!), having Trillions of Dollars (Record Setting!) INVESTED in the U.S.A., having created the "HOTTEST" Country anywhere in the World from being a DEAD Country just 12 months ago (and so much more!), all I see "Wacky” Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN! It seemed to all begin when I sent her a Poll stating that she should not run for Senator, or Governor, she was at 12%, and didn't have a chance (unless, of course, she had my Endorsement — which she wasn't about to get!). She has told many people that she is upset that I don't return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can't take a ranting Lunatic's call every day. I understand that wonderful, Conservative people are thinking about primarying Marjorie in her District of Georgia, that they too are fed up with her and her antics and, if the right person runs, they will have my Complete and Unyielding Support. She has gone Far Left, even doing The View, with their Low IQ Republican hating Anchors. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Cook County deputies, Illinois State Police, and Broadview police just arrested at least 8 to 10 people, including several faith leaders.

State police in riot gear now arriving.

so it turns out the material action Pritzker decided to take is to allow state police to crackdown on protesters who are protesting the actions he called an attempt to "conquer" his people and make them Trump's "subjects"
full slack @fullslack.bsky.social • 28d unless Pritzker does something about it and takes material action, what he's actually showing is "YES Illinois is a place you can conquer and its people are your subjects". rhetoric isn't action. it's inaction, with style.

The Edge of Oblivion Nuzzi, 32, lives in a tiny house in the heart of Malibu where lizards crawl into her kitchen and the King James Bible and "The Divine Comedy" — two books she was reading while she was writing "American Canto" — sit on her dining room table. She drives around in a white Mustang convertible, like a Lana Del Rey song come to life.

Honestly pretty neat of Phish to release one of my all time favorite jams in pristine sound so I can listen to this and not the semi-acceptable audience recording forever

A faithful, slightly slavish, yet still abstracted digital recreation of The Clash’s London Calling album cover. Featuring a guy lit by a spotlight on a stage in a very wide stance and bent over with his head down, holding an electric guitar like an axe by the neck just an instant before he smashes it into the floor. Small white type at the top reads ‘Maybe it’ll’, then down the left side in pink and the bottom in green larger block lettering reads ‘happen today’.

There’s something kinda funny to me about seeing the anniversary celebrations for The Great Escape, a perfectly good album with some great tracks that caused Blur so much pain and misery that one member became an alcoholic and another completely changed his musical aesthetic (and the band’s)

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?

It's the Pope in 1982.
Exactly what it says on the label: The Pope in 1982. He's wearing a black hat, dark RayBans, and looks like he's a member of the Blues Brothers.
