”Classical”-ish, Variations on Frank Bridge, by John Britten

Thesaurus Rex (Scam Song). Random find the other day. Good pump me up song.

Harvey Danger, later albums, not just Flagpole Sitta. “Wine, Women, and Song” .. “Pike St / Park Slope” … “Happiness Writes White”

Benji Hughes, Vibe So Hot, I With With Some Fiends to See the Flaming Lips, The Mummy, etc.

p.s. loved seeing The Night They Drove Ol’ Dixie Down on here! Great song. I love that live performance video. Also Marty Robbins. Great.

True, though he does write a damn fine novel. "The Name of the Rose" is one of my favorite books of all time.

Fake news. The original NPR article very clearly says they quit because they ALMOST harvested organs from an alive person and a supervisor was pushing them to go forward with it.

Kamala "I have a glock and watch Formula1 -- both activities popular with my Jewish husband and non-binary queer model step-child" Harris is running scared. On that we agree!

The book, Wicked, was written by Gregory Maguire. He is gay and Wicked is some of the biggest schlock I've ever read or seen. He's not Jewish though.

The musical was made by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman, both of whom are Jewish. Did you catch the hilarious line about Ronald Reagan in the musical?! Ho ho ho, it really owned those Republicans!!

Silver is not a pollster and he doesn't generate any polls.

"Why you should mostly ignore 'internal polls'" https://archive.ph/Q56il

If you've got a problem with anything in the article, go for it.

Sure, maybe. But since nobody outside of campaigns sees these internal results, we just have to take their word for it (or not)?

That's true in terms of appearance.

Is he a liar?

He's kind of another case of a former golden child of the left getting chased out of town for slightly disagreeing. https://archive.ph/iCAC7 (Vox, "What happened to Nate Silver")

The problem is that many American Jewish names are also German names.

All evidence points to him being not religious, but raised in a Methodist family, with no Jewish ancestry.

Edit your comment?

The original Oz story was written by a kike

The Wizard of Oz? L Frank Baum? Are you saying he was Jewish?

Kamala Harris "yes" bets can currently be bought on Polymark for ~38 cents. I'm debating making a bet as a kind of emotional hedge.

Nate Silver (who is apparently persona non grata with the leftists now??) wrote a piece saying the exact opposite. Or, more precisely, he said that the internal polling that candidates publicly release or leak is less reliable than public polling.

Internal polling is used as a campaign piece to drive a narrative.

You’re asserting that America’s middle eastern strategy is 4D chess to protect Americans at home… by an American government that has done nothing but oppress and replace its own citizens for going on 50 years?

It's not 4D at all, it's blinding obvious and our modus operandi for most of the last century. We destabilized Iran under Mossadegh. We destabilized Iraq-Kuwait and then invaded, twice. We supported insurgents across North Africa, in Syria, and elsewhere. It's a win-win for us. We get military bases, access to oil fields, and we back at home don't have to deal with any of the shit.

And that Israel, the county that openly brags about controlling America’s elections via an unregistered rogue super PAC, doesn’t care about America?

Of course Israel cares about the US and has a vastly disproporionate sway with our foreign (and internal) policy. The point is IRAN is too busy having a slapfight (while their proxies get walkied talkied to death) with Israel to fuck around with the US.

Are you retarded?

I've been called worse.

I was very interestd in this as a historical mystery. At present, it's a big nothing burger.

“My conclusion is that the documentary never shows Columbus’s DNA and, as scientists, we don’t know what analysis was undertaken.”

Rodrigo Barquera, an expert in archaeogenetics at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, said he was surprised the findings had been shared without prior scrutiny from others in the scientific community.

José Antonio Lorente ... “We have very partial, but sufficient, DNA from Christopher Columbus,” he said. “We have DNA from his son Fernando Colón, and in both the Y [male] chromosome and mitochondrial DNA [transmitted by the mother] of Fernando there are traces compatible with a Jewish origin.”

So is he 100% Jewish? 50%? 25%? Doubtful, as they wouldn't have used the word "trace." Trace usually means you're talking low single digits, meaning one ancestor within multiple generations.

BTW expect a terrorist attack that was totes by "iran" within the next few weeks.

Iran and Israel are too busy having a slap fight to care about us.

That's the real deal with the Arab spring and why the US has, and continues, to support all these groups. Chaos in the middle east leads to religious fanatics targeting other people and masses of refugees swamping Europe.

Meanwhile, US profits.

Follow the money. I would bet the university would have to pony up some $$$ if they fail to play as scheduled due to a university-level decision. If, on the other hand, the players don't show up, why that's out of their control!

I don't think anything will happen if Trump loses.

I think there's a higher likelihood of nationwide riots, etc., if Trump wins.

The community note seems correct. Not a tranny, just a female basketball player. That cop should be commended for how he reacted. His only mistake was not shooting faster. Dude could easily have been killed or lost an eye.

It’s more widespread than just leftists. Plenty of right wing or a-political men who are obsessed with plastic toys, capeshit hero movies, etc., into their 40s and beyond.

Uptalk. Instant sign of brainrot and it—of course—originated in California.

The other instant give away is vocal fry. That’s when women get this kind of gravelly tone to their voice, and it’s often combined with uptalk.

Interestingly, both uptalk and vocal fry originated among women, but have been widely adopted amongst liberal men too. Tbf, it does cross political boundaries, but it’s most accentuated and seen as a high status trait in both male and female lefties.

You like NZ? I visited a year or so ago. Had a great time. I had the most based cab driver in Auckland. He was an Arab who had lived in NZ for like 30 years and who completely loathed Ardern. Ranted about the uncontrolled immigration, number of Chinese coming in, and even Muslim refugees. He kept talking shit any time we passed a road sign with Maori on it too.
