On the left you have college students saying “free Palestine” and on the right you have… the President of the U.S. begging Iran to bomb Los Angeles and San Diego.

El-Sayed on Fox: "There is this argument you try to make often is that the best way to take this problem on is more war. How has that worked out for us? The war in Iraq which this channel spent years and years pressing -- has that made us safer? Are we more safe because of the war in Iran?"

One of the forces behind Mogwai, Stuart Braithwaite, once wrote about how hearing the Stooges when he was young completely changed his musical mind. The idea of finally teaming up with Pop on a record must be a dream.

DJ Ryan’s New Release of the Week: Mogwai’s “Underground” feat. Iggy Pop
Stuart Braithwaite has said the Stooges reshaped his musical outlook as a kid, so recording with rock’s elder statesman must feel like a dream come true.

More people should know about the 1930s plot hatched by American businessmen to raise an army to overthrow FDR and install a fascist dictatorship -- all ratted out by USMC Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler, who the NY Times later admitted was telling the truth.

“Hasan Piker said America deserved 9/11.” Nobody under 40 cares. 9/11 is just a weird internet joke to them.

I’ve been saying this since the Michigan Democratic Party primary: constantly attacking Hasan Piker does nothing but boost his profile (and the candidates he supports).

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.
