FL Governor Ron DeSantis shocked political observers this morning at a press conference where he announced a statewide ban on Pink Floyd, the English progressive rock group generally considered by popular music critics to be one of the most influential bands of all-time.

History isn't this five thousand-year dead weight pressing down on us and preventing us from doing anything of our own.

"History" is just the 15 years or so of indoctrination that we get during our childhood and early teens that tells us what sort of people we're supposed to be, how to react to others, who is our tribe, who is the other tribe. It's not the inexorable force of time; it's just people talking and us believing it.

We don't need to let those 15 years be determinant of who we are.

The lawyer for the family spoke earlier this week and used the phrase “human piñata”.

They beat Tyre Nichols to death. It took him 2 days to die.

This is plain evil.

This cannot be reformed. We must hold police accountable for their actions.

"My past is an armor
I cannot take off."

This is why we need poets and writers. To put into words what we can't.

Good message. Great song. Monster player.

Hmmm 😬

ON this date in 1784 - In a letter to his daughter, Benjamin Franklin expressed unhappiness over the eagle as the symbol of America.

He wanted the symbol to be the turkey.

Fellow inventors and statesmen, Bun Man and Mr Purple, offered Ben solace.

Bun told him "Don't worry, the turkey will be used to honor American ingenuity."

And lo and behold, the Corvette was born in the 1950s and to this day is still called 'The plastic turkey for the mill honkies'.

Jim Hightower, it's complicated

But wait -- the corporate greed doesn't stop there. In the past decade, this greedy consortium of rich wage suppressors has devised a diabolical scheme to make restaurant workers pay for the industry's lobbying campaigns to hold down wages! The Association bought an outfit that provides hokey food safety training to restaurant workers, then it lobbied to get California, Florida, Illinois and Texas and other states to require...

that all employees not only undergo the silly online training course, but to also make each worker pay a $15 fee for the training.

Guess what? NRA then uses those worker training fees to fund its lobbying efforts that let restaurants pay poverty wages. And that, kids, is how inequality happens.

Kevin McCarthy kicked Adam Schiff & Eric Swalwell off the House Intelligence Committee because he’s worried about their “integrity.”

How come you’re not worried about the “integrity” of Kitara Ravache, Marge Sporkfoot, Gym Jordan, Rapey McForehead, or BoBo?

Disingenuous clown.

ooh ouch my toe

Seeing people come to buy fish and handing the owner, money, this cat went out and got a leaf to pay for her fish. On the first day, the owner of the shop thought this was very cute, so he gave her a small fish. Now everyday this cat comes in to buy a fish with a leaf.
