Greg Ginn hadn't done an interview in 13 years when I reached out. I figured he would say no, if he said anything at all. But after enlisting three Gen Z musicians to be in Black Flag with him, he decided it was time to talk. For @nytimes.com:

We gotta start close-reading Dead Kennedys album artwork like it’s the writings of Nostradamus
Real tweets from the White House are indistinguishable from anti-Trump AI slop.
Or, in this case, 1990s Adbusters parodies.

I strongly encourage all my fellow Illinois people to give Sen. Durbin a call and let him know what you think of his choice to sell out the American people and destroy their health care for no good reason other than he’s a little tired of having to stand up for any sort of principle:

People are so brainwashed about Chicago being a crime infested hellhole that they assume white people and single family homes must be in the burbs. This is in the city.
its remarkable to see random suburbanites in their fucking PJs have more courage than the vast majority of america's political, social, and civil elites

For you longtime Former Clarity heads, you may remember the medical issues I wrote about six years ago. Well, they're back. But it's okay, because I mostly wrote about the Seattle Mariners instead.
It's happening again
I'm having surgery in nine days. But, more importantly, the Seattle Mariners.

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.
Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?
