Bruce Springsteen @brucespringsteen.net · 4h
For "Nebraska," Bruce wanted music that felt like "a waking dream" and a record that moved like "poetry." The 1982 acoustic LP is both, and it endures as one of his most seminal works — 44 years after its release.

There's a shit-ton of actual anti-Semitism in the world today, but Netanyahu's fraudulent misuse of the term devalues it dangerously. Hamas is anti-Semitic and murderous. Netanyahu is a cynical, murderous shitheel. Mamdani is an American politician with a perverse impulse to tell blunt truths.

Warren: "This has been their argument every time -- they cut taxes and say, 'Ultimately it's really going to pay off for you.' What's happened every time? The academics study it very carefully and say, 'What really happened is the richest people got richer and everybody else got left behind.'"
