Rest in Peace, Brian Wilson. Thank you for the music.
Wilson originally wrote this gem for the Ronettes, who never covered it. He intended it as a follow up to their epochal hit, "Be My Baby." In 1999, the late, great Ronnie Spector contributed her version.

Using leaf blowers to blow tear gas back at cops might be the most ingenious LA thing I’ve ever seen and I’ve lived here for over 30 years ✊🏼🇺🇸
One concrete aim of the disinformation campaigns (driven in large part by Russia) is to drive a wedge between the left and its Jews. Wild horses couldn’t drag me into Trump’s corner but I feel how effectively this is working, even on me, because when the far left shoehorns Palestine into every progressive issue under the sun, when Palestine becomes a “queer issue” and an “environmental issue” and treated as the crown jewel of a hundred other unrelated issues, and elevated to intersectional priority #1 — when so much more progressive energy seems directed against Israel than against Trump even in the midst of a fascist takeover of the U.S. — then even I am alienated from the places I formerly brought tireless energy. https://neveralone.substack.com/p/thoughts-on-the-selfie-yacht?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email#media-dd1e7934-2d14-4d42-9ae7-a9b8cba41f97
“There are ways to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip — they do not involve Instagram selfies. The tiny amount of aid that was on the yacht and not consumed by the ‘celebrities’ will be transferred to Gaza through real humanitarian channels,” the ministry adds.
The usual suspects are outraged that Thunberg's been "kidnapped" by Israel.
Nice try, but no. Kidnapping is what Hamas does. It's not the same as detaining, feeding-and deporting-a band of attention-seeking, Hamas-loving LARPers attempting to enter a war zone. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

I'm deeply skeptical about the government's case. But even if Abrego Garcia is found guilty in a court of law, two things are clear:
One. The US can compel El Salvador to return deportees.
and
Two. TACO. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

For Once, I Agree!
Anti Zionism is just an attempt to rebrand antisemitism.
A Brief History of American "Good Jew" / "Bad Jew" Antisemitism "I don't hate all Jews, just those dirty, Eastern European ones." -Early 20th century "Jews are fine. I just hate commies and intellectuals with foreign names." -McCarthy red scare, 1950s "I don't hate Jews. But "globalists" are destroying the country." -MAGA supporters, 2016-2025 "I'm not antisemitic. I just want to "Free Palestine" by eliminating "Zionists." -Clueless TikTok Revolutionaries and Boulder, CO Council Members 2025

Absolutely. And calling to "end Zionists" is an incitement to kill Jewish civilians for their political beliefs.
The victims were raising awareness for Hamas' hostages in Gaza. Video shows the suspect screaming, "End Zionists" & "Palestine is free." Yet another grim reminder that antisemitism is a dangerous conspiracy theory in which Jews are held collectively responsible for everything the haters despise.

This is nothing but a shakedown. Trump's llawsuit isn't just baseless; it's absurd. But CBS owner Paramount is in a merger deal that they fear Trump will squash as anti-competitive if they don't literally pay him, personally, millions of dollars to settle this bullshit suit. Pure fucking extortion.
"His claimed emergency is a figment of his own imagination," the lawsuit said. "Trade deficits, which have persisted for decades without causing economic harm, are not an emergency."
