We might not have to argue about whether or not to tear down Trump's ballroom
WAPO: The architect quit “after warning repeatedly that Trump was insisting on a preliminary design that did not provide adequate emergency exit routes or fire-containment measures ..

.. ‘I am the code,” Trump said.”

Watched an IG video where a guy played the guitar solo to Hotel California on a toy organ where every note goes meow. Four days later, all I can say is when that song is stuck in your head you can check out any time you like but you can never leave.

Meow.

Newsom has long been a traitor to his voters/this state. Enjoy that big tech money, buddy, but you'll still never be president.
The State AGs were on pace to kill the Paramount/Warner Bros by litigation and delay until Gavin Newsom stepped in and turned the tide. Now the Trump loyalist Ellisons will control CNN and HBO. Don't ever, ever forget that Newsom stabbed us in the back

Go Cubs Go is Bo Diddley
There is only one rock n roll song and it's Bo Diddley by Bo Diddley. Every other piece of Rock music is just further iterating on Bo Diddley.

The only thing I knew about Ed Sheeran before this week is that he has a song named Galway Girl that isn't a cover of Steve Earle's Galway Girl but instead a much shittier song built around the same basic concept and that discovering that fact made me never want to know anything else about him.

How did Sheeran not know that Macklemore was very definitely going to be taking about Palestine on stage after "Hind's Hall" and basically every public statement he's made since releasing that track?
He cooked Ed Sheeran on IG

If only the media had as much interest in the world's richest person, the primary funder of the Republican Party, who spoke at Trump's Inauguration and gave a Sieg Heil, once again declaring his belief "white solidarity is the only way to survive" as they do some Twitch streamer.
For a certain kind of white man, there is no fear more primal than the fear that the people they have abused will gain power and treat them the same way.

The perennial battle over Great Highway & Sunset Dunes park is, like most elections in San Francisco, inundated with political donations.

And it's almost all going to one side: The pro-park side has outraised the pro-road side 7-to-1.

No starker example of the media having different rules for each political party. If the press treated Elon Musk like Hasan Piker, every Republican in America would be forced to answer questions about why their party's biggest donor espouses anti-semitic race science.

Mid '90s and I'm at a short-lived (particularly) indie record shop in Chicago. A woman walks in and asks the guy behind the counter if they have any Bush CDs. The guy looks up, takes a breath, and says "No." She leaves without another word being exchanged.
