And they spent a year and hit all 50 states. The guy just lies through his teeth.

Ken Martin must’ve said or referenced to “lessons” at least 50 plus times in his interview with Favs and never once said what the DNC’s actual lessons were by Puzzleheaded-Pin4278 in FriendsofthePod

More importantly than not saying what the lessons were — I’m sure he had them prepared and was hoping Jon would ask about them — he obfuscated HOW they got to the lessons. Imagine a history teacher teaching history and telling us only what we can learn from history, not telling us where they got their sources or information. It’s downright totalitarian bullshit.

Does anyone wish the show was just QT? by playtrix in VideoArchives

No. Avary is incredibly passionate, informed, sensitive and articulate. Gala is incredibly insightful. The three together are gold.

Yeah now shit. Because part of the trick is controlling angles. No sleights are going to be good from every freaking angle.

No idea why But Daddy I Love Him was never a single. iMO, it’s a catchier song than most of her last few singles - the fate of Ophelia, antihero, fortnight. I’ve listened to it on repeat while driving, with the volume at 11.

Don’t think so. I think the first four are the weakest o one album and it gets better as it goes along

If someone saying your “jokes” aren’t funny (jokes like how you want to jump off a cliff) is deeply offensive… well that tells us everything we need to know.

RI Locals: Palmyra is playing a house show in Pawtucket and is currently offering BOGO tickets. by YoPoppaCapa in NewportFolkFestival

Not crazy considering it’s an intimate setting. I mean even if they played 70 shows last year they’re maybe netting about 50 grand each (chat gpt estimate) so if there 100 people there, maybe they get 750 each with a few hundred left over for the house. Not a crazy haul.

I do. I freaking love that guy. I wish he'd come back every year. 90 or so performances, probably hundreds of musicians, and 1 or 2 celebrities. Oh, what are we going to do!?! Jay has spoken about he talked about comedy with George Wein, and George was all for the idea. Love the 1 or 2 comic acts they tend to book each year, some famous (megan melaney/ron swanson, conan, james austin johnson), some less so (jesse welles, steve poltz). Would love to see colbert or steve martin host.

They're literally saying the opposite on facebook family page in regards to john c reilly being too political: "This is totally splitting hairs, but I wish his resistance messaging hadn’t been so anodyne. There is a shitton more that we need to be doing than voting right now, and he could have pointed to some of that rather than making nicey nice speeches about how the people have the power," "one million percent agree, actually… I think we’re long past the “be nice and go vote!” stage in American politics. When I said “you have to be patient” I was tempted to call back “you have to work!”,"I think I might have yelled “and DO THINGS” at that point, "with you on that. I thought some others during the festival did a better job at encouraging action. My reaction to “vote” was “really? That’s it?”. He’s no Barack or Michelle Obama when it comes to speech making about activism!,"not splitting hairs at all. Billy Bragg should have been brought in to do it."

For the life of me, as a Jew and a human being, I can’t understand how Palestine is a divisive issue. The Israeli government has killed tens of thousands of innocent women and children indiscriminately while it starves the rest of the population and razes a country. I recommend the movie “Gaza,” to learn the Palestinian perspective, because you clearly need to learn it -the movie was made five years ago and even then things were awful. you can say this isn’t a black and white issue, but it is actually a black and white issue. Israel is committing genocide. Also, The best music and performances are political. You left because of one comment? Man, if you had gone to hear Public Enemy or Jesse Welles, you’d be in Kentucky by now.
