Why is this my favorite Cure LP? “Pornography is a concept album about a journey into the darkest recesses of the human psyche. The songs collectively explore themes of isolation, depression, nihilism, mental fragmentation, the futility of existence, and the corrosive effects of despair.” #thecure

Doctors at the CDC say children should receive Covid vaccines. A disgraced ex-environmental lawyer who spent 20 years abusing heroin says they shouldn't. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

TAPPER: I have a hard time thinking that if a D president held a dinner for investors in his cryptocurrency, you wouldn't be outraged

MIKE JOHNSON: Look, I don't know anything about the dinner. I was a little busy this past week, so I'm not going to comment on something I haven't even heard about

NEW:

All Texas public elementary or secondary schools “must display in a conspicuous place in each classroom of the school a durable poster or framed copy of the Ten Commandments.”

Bring on the lawsuits!!

Texas bill requiring Ten Commandments in public schools headed to governor's desk
Gov. Greg Abbott is expected to sign the legislation. The state's requirement of a Ten Commandments display follows similar laws in Louisiana and Arkansas.

Pornography is a stunning achievement and still on very heavy rotation - perhaps by favorite LP by #thecure.
"It doesn't matter if we all die..."

On this day 43 years ago, #TheCure released the deliciously dark "Pornography" - their fourth studio album.

What song speaks to you the most?

I am certain this is exactly the message the business community is looking to hear: don’t worry, be happy

"We are outsourcing torture and murder. What kind of president, what kind of political party, can look at that with satisfaction?" And what American can not at least wonder about their own security?

I’m told the purpose of this meeting was planning the MAGApolooza Festival at The Kennedy Center. Expect Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, Morgan Wallen, poetry reading by Jon Voight, a fashion Q&A with Steve Bannon, and karate demos by Ralph Machio. Be there - it’s gonna be wild!

I watched ‘The Cure in Orange’ over the weekend, the first time in a few decades. 2 overall thoughts:
1. The pre-Disintegration era band and music were formidable and better live than on record.
2. Simon Gallup had the best hair of any band member of all eras.

Of course he did: she’s the designated driver.
IT GETS WORSE

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth brought his wife, a former Fox News producer, to two meetings with foreign military counterparts where sensitive information was discussed, according to multiple people who were present or had knowledge of the discussions.

Given that xAI has now bought X, Elon’s Tesla strategy at this point has to be taking it private. $420 is way off market, however.

On other words: reparations for criminals. Folks, we’ve hit an all time low.
Trump says he's looking at setting up some sort of government "compensation fund" for the January 6 criminals that he pardoned

A fools’ paradise
The Trump regime accidently leaked its top secret war plans to a journalist at the Atlantic. In the chat the Trumpians trash talk Europe calling it pathetic and worry about the safety of Saudi interests.

They also plot among themselves how much money they should try to extort Europe and Egypt for.
