Just watched the vid, you are a shining light in the darkness, AJ-thank you for being uncompromising in the face of oppression, unflinching at the threat of violence, and unequivocal in your support of marginalized people of all stripes. Stay safe, brother, and remember-YOU ARE making a better world

True.
“Self Called Nowhere”, “No One Knows My Plan”, “1000 Years Old”, the abstract Jazz ending to “Spy”…it’s a pretty solid album.

“Meet James Ensor” is easily the most underrated TMBG song. 💖

Best kind of ‘if’.
The load bearing kind.

Thank you for turning me on to Connections, it’s quickly become my favorite brain game I’ve played in a while!

I LOVE Shayne Smith’s stand up! He’s so goofy-funny, and criminally self aware.

Makes for good crowd work, but in the “now, I know what you’re literally ALL thinking…and you’re right..but!” way, not the “calling out the drunk heckler in the back” way.

As a soon to be 39 year old, can confirm.

I have an account but am barely on there. My 77 year old mother, on the other hand…yeah.

Yeah, it’s all very…convenient, for ya know, the ACTUAL antisemites, that disagreeing with the narrative that Netanyahu/IDF spit out to justify war crimes, is now called “antisemitism”, thus diluting the phrase to the point of making it irrelevant. Because the ramifications of THAT won’t bite us.

“Fer myes?!? Yous shouldn’t have! Myes didn’t even know it was myes birfday?! Tahnkyuberrymuchley! (I hopes is grubz, I hopes is grubz, I hopes is grubz!!!)

That’s more understandable than my first instinct; I was going to make a Wanted:Dead or Alive reference for some damn reason.

(Because Bon Jovi, like most things from New Jersey, pops up when you least expect them? 🤷🏽‍♀️)

Ok, cool. Thanks for clarifying.

Hi Leo.
Israel wants to kill all Palestinians, eliminate the possibility of a two state solution, and create an Israeli ethnostate.
They DO NOT care how many civilians, including children, they kill, just want to label them as collateral damage/militants, and continue the job.
You’re welcome.

I’m not sure if your point is that Trump would be ‘better’ in that instance, because I see no such indication that that is the case.
The truth is, America has ALWAYS actively supported and encouraged Israel’s ‘no holds barred’ persecution of Palestinian citizens, as being ‘anti-terrorism’ measures.

…I sat and thought about this for a moment, and was confused.

But then I realized that children who are born hearing impaired would obviously learn ASL before they learn to read, and even after that, they will parse ASL faster than reading, so this makes sense.

That’s actually super cool!

I agree that a direct comparison is difficult to make accurately, due to changes in the reporting demographics of race, age, & C-section frequency, but it’s still an alarming trend, & seems to jump in a single generation.
The demo stats between gen x & millennials can’t be that different, can they?
