I always thought this review by Robert Christgau summed up Oasis best...
www.robertchristgau.com/get_artist.p...
Stop the Clocks [Sony/BMG, 2006] One of the many things I never got about this band was where the Beatles were. Where was the ebullience, the wit, the harmonies, God just the singing, and, uh, the songwriting? Cotton Mather made me understand that when Oasis say they love the Beatles they really mean they love the post-Help!, pre-Sgt. Pepper Beatles. Since that span encompasses Rubber Soul and Revolver, many would say tally ho, but (a) not me 'cause I love the Beatles start to finish and (b) only if you're writing songs as good as, uh, "We Can Work It Out." Instead Oasis, meaning loudmouth bro Noel Gallagher, write songs that resemble "We Can Work It Out" in thickened texture and momentum but not depth or charm, then add arena size in the swagger of the drums and the bigged-up vocals themselves. This band-selected best-of--two discs lasting 87 minutes, like an old-fashioned double-LP except it's only 18 tracks--capture their sonic moment as fully as any freelance music historian needs. A 2010 package repeats 11 of these songs and adds 16 others--too many, I say. Also, it omits the opening "Rock 'n' Roll Star." If ever there were guys whose message to the world is summed up by an opener called "Rock 'n' Roll Star," it's these bigheads. B+

#NoKingsProtest
No kings top 10 rally reminders: Lead with Love, Not Anger. Focus your energy on what you stand for, not what you stand against. Anger fades; compassion lasts. Smile and Greet Others. Say hello, wave, or share a word of encouragement. Small acts of friendliness build community trust and lower tension. Lift Your Voice with Positivity. Joy is contagious. The more you smile, sing, and stay grounded, the safer and stronger everyone around you feels. Make Your Sign Speak Peace. Choose messages that uplift- creative, clever, values-based signs draw attention without aggression or profanity. Model Nonviolence in Every Action. If confronted, breathe, stay calm, and step back. Do not engage or argue, alert a Guardian in an orange vest. Look Out for One Another. Offer water, a smile, or friendly chat to someone nearby. Check on families, elders, and people with mobility needs. Celebrate Families and Kids. Keep the atmosphere family- friendly, and invite children to join in with chants and songs-joyful ways to express civic pride. Keep It Clean and Respectful. Leave our rally space as beautiful as you found it-or better. Treat it with respect, care, and gratitude for peace. Be Mindful of Words & Tone. Speak with kindness, even when disagreeing. Avoid insults, sarcasm, or chants that demean others. Carry Joy Beyond the Rally. After the event, share stories, photos, and reflections that highlight unity and courage-show the world what peaceful power looks like.

Unfucking believable. Plan accordingly, all you out in CA, and be careful out there!

Sources tell MeidasTouch the White House will shut down portions of the I-5 for Vice President JD Vance’s Marine Corps spectacle during No Kings Protests, triggering chaos, gridlock, and outrage amid the government shutdown. MeidasTouch has learned from several sources that the White House has plans to close major sections of Interstate 5 for this Friday and Saturday. The Trump administration is apparently finalizing plans for two days of events under the pretext of the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Marine Corps. Sources close to MeidasTouch describe the closure as part of a “vanity parade” that may involve Navy warships shooting live missiles into Camp Pendleton as a “show of force.”

The key driver behind the surge in border crossings under Biden was Trump leaving office, given extra strength by the economic fallout from Covid and the accompanying political turmoil south of the border. I doubt anything other than continuing the cruelty could have stemmed the tide.

Are you all this stupid? LEGAL deportations went up because border crossings increased enormously when Trump was no longer in office, like they have dropped again now that he's back. ICE agents under Biden were not attacking anyone with legal status. THIS IS ON YOU!
