PSA
Imagine 200 Americans. In this crowd,
24 live in poverty.
18 have no health insurance.
42 are illiterate.
45 have untreated mental illnesses.
35 have an
untreated addiction.
134 live paycheck to paycheck.
23 have experienced homelessness.
59 are victims of domestic violence.
20 have experienced discrimination for their age, race, gender, or religion.
1 is transexual.
Some people would have you believe that this 1 person is the greatest threat and the biggest concern for everyone else in the crowd. How does that make sense?

Last year @aquariumdrunkard.com I compiled a mixtape of songs about John Coltrane. Obviously, you should spend today listening to the man himself. But after that, here's a sound register of his impact on modern music.

In the nearly six decades since his untimely passing, musicians from all over the world have never stopped honoring John Coltrane. And not just artists in the jazz tradition, those in rock, funk, prog...

Our former strategic allies can maybe explain electing Trump once as a momentary act of insanity or the result of our stupid system for electing a president Electing Trump twice means the U.S. is a fundamentally broken country that can't be trusted So the post-U.S. global order begins

Grand Ol' Opry superstar Porter Waggoner had fallen on hard times. Dolly bought his song catalog to help him with some cash to get back on his feet. Years later when Waggoner was doing better he asked Dolly if he could buy his songs back. Dolly said no you can't buy them, but you can have them 💔

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.

In London last night, Jack White covered “Jolene” in tribute to Dolly Parton, whose death was announced a few hours prior. He had not played it since a White Stripes concert in NYC 19 years ago. “INSTANT SAINTHOOD,” White also posted with a photo of the country legend. stereogum.com/2509433/jack...

In his 2004 book, The Anatomy of Fascism, historian Robert Paxton identified the passions that had animated fascistic political cultures over the previous 80 years. These may sound familiar.
eelings t
hem "mobilizing passions":
• a sense of overwhelming crisis beyond the reach of any traditional solutions;
• the primacy of the group, toward which one has duties superior to every right, whether individual or universal, and the subordination of the individual to it;
• the belief that one's group is a victim, a sentiment that justifies any action, without legal or moral limits, against its enemies, both internal and external;
• dread of the group's decline under the corrosive effects of individualistic liberalism, class conflict, and alien influences;
• the need for closer integration of a purer community, by consent if possible, or by exclusionary violence if necessary;
• the need for authority by natural chiefs (always male), culminating in a national chieftain who alone is capable of incarnating the group's historical destiny;
• the superiority of the leader's instincts over abstract and universal
reason;
• the beauty of violence and the efficacy of will, when they are devoted to the group's success;

We’ve all seen this. It’s unacceptable that we don’t have laws in place to control stock trading by presidents, same with insider trading by House & Senate members, the Foxes cannot be allowed to regulate the Hen house, it’s corruption gone mad!
