I might as well get in too, here's the album that most influenced me by far. I was 10 years old and McCartney's humming guitar (bass) made me want to play one, still play. The Beatles were the most influential band in history. There was a band in every garage for years afterward.

The producers of the crazy show, always expecting a return on their investment. I think the cap was $5000 before the "Citizens United" ruling in 2010.

A great story to share with any wack-job anti-vaxxer you may know:

What happened after a man got 217 coronavirus shots

German researchers have examined a “hypervaccinated” man they say received more than 200 coronavirus shots without any noticeable side effects or harm to his immune system.

“Overall, we did not find any indication for a weaker immune response, rather the contrary,” said Katharina Kocher, one of the lead authors of the study.

The US throws their weight around on the global stage at will. If Republicans really wanted to fix the border issue. They would start by trying to improve the countries to our South by investing in them. Making their lives better.

The first time a tagged great white shark was found in the Gulf of Mexico, it swam near New Orleans and headed to South Padre Island. That’s a little close for comfort 😬

"Convicted Jan. 6 rioter loses congressional bid, NBC News projects:

Ryan Zink, who was convicted for his role in the Jan. 6 riot, lost the House Republican primary in Texas' 19th Congressional District to incumbent Jodey Arrington, NBC News projects.

Zink recorded himself entering the Capitol, saying, "We're storming the Capitol! You can't stop us!" He has not yet been sentenced. He received 1,706 votes, coming in fourth."

9 of 21 Rs who joined Dems to prevent privatization of schools lost last night. 4 more face runoffs. Abbott backed them all.
It's nuts that a low turnout election could void decades of investment by generations of Texans in our children

It’s almost as though, by hosting Mango Mussolini every day on MSNBC, fawning over him, even fixing his hair, these two fame-hungry sycophants helped enable the Trumpocalypse. Now - NOW - they’re shocked and horrified that the guy is a deranged, depraved monster rampaging across the country as an existential threat to American democracy. We haven’t forgotten, Joe and Mika, and we sure as hell won’t forgive, no matter how much righteous outrage you spew. #Politics

Nail 'em. Villains should be afraid of daylight itself.

Did you read @Stonekettle's essay today: "NO SAFETY" ?

It's a very cold shower, right on target and a drop kick through the goal posts of our American expectations.
