@isa2001m "He had 0.1 seconds to make a decision and he didn’t have all the facts in that moment" so he shot her in the head first through the windshield and then (for good measure) twice through the driver's side window

@Heminator @gerardtbaker Interfering with the Crown's tax authorities by throwing tea into Boston Harbor is not a legitimate protest

Standing in front of a tank in Tianenmen Square is not a legitimate protest

What exactly does "legitimate protest" against American tyranny look like to you, @Heminator?

@karol Honestly gobsmacked that people like you are so wholly invested in making sure a murderer avoids prosecution and goes free, all because your sense of ideological tribalism has so completely superseded your basic decency and humanity. Were you always like this? I don't think so.

@ThatEricAlper I would be an entirely different person than the one I am now had I not encountered the music of Elvis Costello at age 14 in 1983.

@JustinBrannan @ZohranKMamdani @butlikesrsly I never thought I'd hear thousands of people cheering wildly at mention of the name "Eugene V. Debs" in 2025, but that's the type of crowd that was in attendance last night

@sassycali88 @dave_wakeling "Stand Down Margaret" is also one hell of a B-side, gotta admit

@MikeTilburn Fantastic record. “Better Off Without a Wife” is one of his all-time greatest.

@RoddyFrame just thought you and your manager should know that were you to come to NYC — and even if you only played songs from HLHR, Knife and Surf, and nothing else — I would still happily pay upwards of $150 to see you. There are many here who feel the same way. Consider it!

@Joshstrangehill Krusty interviewing AFL-CIO leader George Meany on the incipient labor crisis in 1961. I sometimes make myself laugh just thinking about the way Meany says: "Well, Krusty, it all depends on what you mean by the word 'crisis'."
