Know what I like about them? None of 'em are hanging on the coattails of a convicted felon, serial liar and insurrectionist to get into office. And none of them see the need to hate on minorities either.
+++ At last Joy Division & New Order have both jointly been inducted into the Rock & Roll - Hall of Fame. +++
Congrats to Peter Hook (aka the one true keeper of the flame as we prefer to call him at @peterhookthelight.bsky.social)

What religion do you know that says 'if you're not in our religion, we're gonna kill you?
Geezus Tuberville. Open a fucking book. It's not a secret. Religion has been used as a tool to kill ppl since the beginning of recorded history. Even the OT god of Israel commanded them to commit genocide.

Darn. Could always use more D&D material. Too far to travel from KY. π
I call it "the house that Mitch built". Speaking as a former Republican who started tracking his career the day Reagan came to Louisville to endorse McConnell's re-election bid.
Anytime anyone asks me how the 80s were. This is the song I reply with.
This week in '85: βDonβt You (Forget About Me)β was released as a single in the UK.
