Oh man, the new and final album by X is good. Reeeeaaal good. I was in Los Angeles for the first few albums. They were always amazing.

Today I filed a formal complaint with the IRS, challenging the tax exempt status of The Heritage Foundation as a 501(c)(3) organization. I specifically singled out Roger Severino, a VP of Political affairs and the man who wrote Section 14 of #Project2025, on The DHHS.

Anyone can do this. The Heritage Foundation's EIN# is public record.

Will anything happen? No.

But if everyone starts singing "Alice's Resturaunt" then maybe, just maybe, something might.

Once again, Sophie Labelle strikes with another cartoon!

A piece of advice from my near 6 decades: never, never, never tell a woman she can't fight.

#Olympics

Everybody keeps going on about the two shooters, the one with the device that allows her to not need to squint for hours on end and the Turkish "dad".

Cool.

But neither one of them won the gold medal. This girl did:

I have been doing a deep dive on #Project2025 so that you don't have to. Not the surface stuff everyone is reporting on, but the deep in the weeds stuff, by government agency. This is my third posting of six.

Convers the Department of Education, The Department of Energy, The Environmental Protection Agency, The Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Some of this bit is shocking in its depravity. Be warned.

I took a break on my #Project2025 deep dive but I'm now back working on Housing and Urban Development.

Woohoo! This section was written by Dr. Ben Carson! This of course means it's the shortest section in the whole damn thing, clocking in at a grand total of 14 pages, 4 of which are footnotes.

In working my way through the absolute garbage that is the details of #Project2025 I'm starting to run into outright lies in much of the support documentation. Here is how I would summarize the section on the Department of Health and Human services, so far the largest section I've read:

No abortions, no contreceptives, no gender affirming care, stay in abusive marriages, no good health care for poor people, let churches discriminate, and lie every third sentance (or more often).

How is it that I'm only now discovering Nick Drake? Holy carp this stuff is amazing!

The last track on this week's Radio Free California is this amazing track by HUMANIST with Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode on vocals. By far the best song on the album.

Am I a bad person to be dissappointed that this isn't the Doug Jones I wanted? 🤣

In all fairness, I donated to his Senate Campaign.
