Whatcha Want? - Beastie Boys
Love that one!
Forgot all about this guy!! Thanks!
Yes!! 100% and it will take politicians having the guts to refuse NRA money for changes in gun laws to happen.
This guy kicks ass!
Fascism at its finest. Deinsane-tis sucks.
Is this a real pic or one from years ago?
Cool. Only knew the Specials version.
Neil! Love that guys music. The ditch trilogy are amazing, but he has so much more that is so freaking good. We can’t take Neil for granted!
As a teen in the 80s, I saw Reagan create an environment of greed and waste at the expense of vulnerable populations in the US while secretly using the CIA to control third-world nations abroad. He WAS a monster!
I try to go to the gym two to three times a week after school. Really helped last year w the election last year. Good luck in the new school year.
Sorry to hear. Hope autumn brings some serenity and peace to you and your family
As if you need more evidence Trump is an a-hole.
The Mats!! Sweet
So happy to see West Ham get the 3 points and clean sheet on the road today. Hoping this is a turning point. COYI!!

Pips #13 Hard 🔴 5:41 I really like The Pips game. I can feel my brain working…maybe.
albumism.com/features/pum... Excellent article on a movie and soundtrack that turned 35 this month. I recall buying the soundtrack on cassette when it came out while I was an undergrad and in love/lust. Those convergences helped change everything for Powdered Toast Man.
The Replacements fizzled out but that last album is good, just in their catalog it’s not peak Mats.
Mind Riot- Soundgarden
I am not a Swifite, hate her music, but I respect her for getting her catalog back and not taking any shit. I hope she sticks it to Zuckerberg and those bums.
www.seattletimes.com/nation-world... Aka - tell Trump global warming is a hoax. And people will believe it. Just like the NRA, Big Oil keeps the politicians pockets greased and our Earth deteriorating.
www.seattletimes.com/nation-world... Lack of empathy and plain racism are so evident. I’m sure the people who voted for him are happy. If they are shocked, then I have a room in the Everglades to sell them.
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... Don’t let it go to waste. Make it a Mega-Church for the Evangelicals. If it’s so great, they’ll flock there with their Shepards and prophets.
That just makes too much sense. Cmon now…
John Roberts and a GOP appointed Supreme Court happened. Corporations can buy elections thanks to Citizens United. Many Americans have lost the ability to critically think and the dumbing down of America that started w J Springer kept growing. This led to a me-first society w no empathy for others
He had a huge hit for the 88 Morgan Miracle Sox in the won streak after the ASB.
Tiny Voices- Bad Religion
Fuck his prayers. Hope he has another nice vacation paid for by his NRA kick backs.
The director, Jenuet is brilliant. Check out City of Lost Children. It is magnificent.
John Roberts too’
He nails it w “the help of the US Supreme Court” line. Roberts will have Trump’s balls bouncing off his chin when the appeal gets there.
We need to ban assault rifles and put in place very extensive background checks for gun purchases.
Vance is also a terrible tragedy
Jeunet is my favorite director after Lynch. Love this movie but City of Lost Children is AMAZING
Hurry the hell up and croak
You are at a great pitching match-up. So jealous. Hope you are having a blast
Ouija Board, Ouija Board- Morrissey
I’m glad you’re back. I missed your posts. You inspire me and keep my fires burning, particularly when I get so frustrated at The MAN.
100% right!!! This needs to be fixed or our country will continually be screwed by greedy politicians whose ambition is to stay in power and make money from these groups.
I collected all of the Batman Returns cups at the time.
Was Brown in the Rey Quinonnes/ Spike Owen trade in 86? Maybe w John Christensen and Mike Trujillo?
I Can’t Shake this Shadow of Fear- David J.
Make getting a gun as difficult as it is for getting an abortion! I’m pro-choice but if these MAGAs and Christian Fundamentalists people say abortion is about saving lives than so is restricting gun access!
Within your reach- The Replacements
It’s about the NRA giving money to GOP politicians and using scare tactics against people who want gun control. Dismantle the NRA.
Because they get $$$ from the NRA. Follow the money. Blow up the NRA .
The truth is in this cartoon and it is a sad one. I know way too many people that are ok with the status quo- which means mass shootings- than give up their AKs and/or access to weapons.
So Far Away- Social Distortion
My MAGAt father whom I haven’t spoken to in years has over 75 guns. Why?
The NRA must be confronted for the mass murders in this country and the lawmakers that take their money need to be held accountable!
One of my favorite players to watch hit.
That is an amazing movie. Mitchum is amazing and it is absolutely creepy and disturbing to this day.
Missoula is gold.
Nice Dream- Radiohead
Angry Chair- Alice In Chains
Will Flemming is the Red Sox play-by-play guy on radio. He just called Roman Anthony “perfect” and Bernardino “enchanting”. I’ve tried liking Will but he just gets under my skin. I was spoiled by Joe Castig. I do like it when Sean McD is in the booth. But Will is embarrassing.
Oh… so we see that critical thinking is again a skill that most Americans lack.
On the left, my warning from September 2024 about what Trump 2.0 would look like. On the right, recent headlines. I wish I'd been wrong. But because Trump is following a classic authoritarian playbook, it’s up to state and local governments to push back on this tyranny while it’s still possible.
Birdhouse in your Soul- They Might Be Giants
www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news... Fuck ICE and fuck this fascist regime in power. And fuck all the assholes that voted for it and allowed it to happen.
Good AM from the PNW.
They need to embrace a progressive platform and they are not.
I don’t grieve. I seethe w anger.
www.seattletimes.com/opinion/edit... I thought GOP was about states rights? Oh yeah, that was before they became fascists.
Anything w Batman has some value - even the SuperFriends in the 70s.
I remember when the Patriots did at one point. It doesn’t help.
www.seattletimes.com/sports/storm... I’m a huge Storm fan and I think Noelle is great, but I do not think she is the coach for the future of the team, sorry to say.
Butler has been a let-down for me. I was thinking 20/20 or better…
We need a party for the Progressives- that isn’t the Green Party. The the establishment can wake the hell up or be left in the movement.
I’m in! Awesome
Red Sox needed him in 86, not 88…
Wait…you mean educating, teaching and modeling is more effective than a binary choice like: suspension, banishment, or outlawing something? Ya don’t say….
I don’t recall Bane in that horrible movie, but maybe that’s because I saw it once and only once…
www.cnn.com/2025/08/22/p... Total Soviet-Putin like behavior. We, as a country, should be terrified that this is happening, but again- critical thinking is absent in our society and most are placated by materialism/ capitalism.

So does Basallo become catcher and Adley is moved to DH?
If there is a hell he is there
Even the Odd- by the Trashcan Sinatras.
www.cnn.com/2025/08/21/p... Democrats suck. This is why we need a new 3rd party of us Libs who aren’t ashamed to saw we are progressive socialists! Damn it!
The great Bob Seger co-wrote and sang on it
Add stronger gun laws!
She should press charges
She should press charges!
I wonder if there is a way to press charges against Greg Abbott. I am sure there are some civil liberties being violated.
www.seattletimes.com/opinion/will... People can’t think for themselves; Trump and his comrades know this and here we are:
I’m a teacher w teenage daughter. I am in the same boat. Keep up the good fight!
