Does anyone else feel like this random celebrity-making of a regular person who vibes as heartbreakingly innocent mostly because of the way they dress is incredibly mean?

They also messed with his car!

What the? James Alex being in his 40's is blowing my mind! I was taking him as in his 20's. Is the whole band 40ish? I freaking cannot tell how old people are.

He's the worst NOMINEE. Don't forget Wallace, Thurmond and Goldwater!

I agree. Once a tone is set in cultural life, it can last a generation. McCarthyism survived the senator for many years. I recently read an argument that it indirectly caused Vietnam because politicians were afraid to look "weak" on communism.

Yes, congress will stop a lot of the madness, BUT he would inherit a newly-powerful executive office that can imprison "terror" suspects without cause or trial, spy on people, and kill people with robots, including US citizens.

So this album will be excellent, better than "Burn Your Fire," is the message I'm getting. Unless it only has these three good songs.

Each of those history books sounds rad. Thanks!

The light is at the end of the tunnel for The Best and the Brightest, which is taking me longer than I expected.

OOOH ya! The final story is creepy as hell.

Another reason to hate marketing and in particular, marketing speak. "Influencer." Gross/

Ewww. Another indicator that it's a miracle that Hamilton is so good. Looking at it on paper alone, it seems like it so easily could have been like this.

I THOUGHT this looked like joint hell. Thanks for the insight.

Can't we both be right? Yes, AVC's praise is consistent and gushing, but that's what led me to discover Wye Oak's music, and now they are one of my favorite bands. I generally agree with all of AVC's gushing praise- that's why I'm here.

Ya! And some 90's nostalgia this time. The kids gather around and play pogs.

Maybe the "twist" will be that there isn't really any war in this war movie. A bunch of defeated soldiers will be huddled at the edge of the land, as far as they can run, waiting to be annihilated. I expect a lot of tension.

That is the uniform of Trump support. It's kind of weird how predictable it is.

Wow, what an awful courtroom situation though. You can just tell that judge is elected from bumbleshoot county. Not exactly becoming of the office to sink to a rowdy defendant's level and guarantee him his trial won't be fair.

You all told me to, so I'm reading The Radch Trilogy by Anne Leckie. i'm halfway through Sword now. It's less space action than I expected, actually, and more world-building and character-driven mystery, but I like it. Good quick summer reading.

Yep, that's what it's like. and sleeping? No way!
