@ThatEricAlper Awesome!

@matthewstoller I think it just has to do with the older base’s instinct to support who they’re told by media is the most electable, out of fear that GOP will win and take back basic civil rights.

@StevieVanZandt Great song! Another hidden AC/DC gem: Jailbreak…

@ThatEricAlper War Pigs.

Even the Universe hates mergers: When galaxies merge, they become less efficient at converting gas to stars and their star output declines in absolute terms while their central black holes grow — leading to “dead” galaxies. Scientists estimate that 90% of galaxies that have gone through successive mergers are “dead” galaxies with super-massive black holes, very little star formation, and lots of hot gas wasting away.

@musharbash_b That is some funny, creative shit. LMAO. 👏

@VinnyBonsignore So if Congress tried to pass a law forbidding cities from subsidizing owners’ stadium builds, you would be opposed? Wow. The billionaires can never have enough, huh?

[Rick Barone @RBarone7]

@VinnyBonsignore Just so we are clear, is your position that cities should subsidize billionaire owners to earn the right to host a team? Congress could pass laws tomorrow to stop it all. They won’t for obvious reasons, but would you support that?

[Rick Barone @RBarone7]

@daveweigel You’re a Priest fan? Your cool points just escalated dramatically. Lol.

@daveweigel GREAT autobio!

"It is time to . . . reverse [the] concentration of power which has made most American citizens, once traditionally independent owners of their own businesses, helplessly dependent for their daily bread upon the favor of a very few who –– by devices such as holding companies –– have taken for themselves unwarranted economic power. I am against private socialism of concentrated economic power as thoroughly as I am against government socialism. The one is equally as dangerous as the other; and destruction of private socialism is utterly essential to avoid government socialism."

–– President Franklin D. Roosevelt, as quoted in Ellis Hawley, The New Deal and the Problem of Monopoly 281 (1966).

@ThatEricAlper Paranoid

I’m saddened to learn of the passing of Senator Sheev Palpatine. We had our differences, but he was a true pleasure to work with. I recall fondly how he brought a much-needed sense of humor to our good-faith negotiations that ended with his decision to bless the military operation to destroy Alderaan.

Though I respectfully voiced my objections, I appreciated his principled honesty in his push to replace the outdated democratic republic with the Empire.

He was a strong advocate for his beliefs, and I admired his power of persuasion that included force-chokes and blue-lightning beams that inflicted significant pain on his political opponents.

He will be missed - the Imperial Senate won’t be the same without him. He was the best of us.

Something remarkable about the Democratic establishment current campaign against the left insurgency is that they aren't just waging a rhetorical fight, they're acting strategically and using all the power they can wield to try to destroy the underlying institutions of the Left insurgency — Leftist consulting firms, Leftist ad-makers, Leftist campaign operatives, Leftist donor networks, Leftist think tanks, etc. — in a way that the Democratic establishment has never acted in their fights with Republicans.

@ThatEricAlper Harrison Ford.

[Rick Barone @RBarone7]

@TheKennyRoda I’m angry right now w/ the Cavs. They are in love w/ Evan Mobley when they could’ve had Jaylen Brown? Joke! I predict we will finish 9th or 10th w/ no new add’s. Raptors, Heat, Sixers, Pacers, & Hawks will all pass us. If they don’t sign LBJ, might as well deal DM.

[Rick Barone @RBarone7]

@ChrisFedor Idk how you see it, but to me it’s clear the Cavs will be lucky to finish in the playoffs-in spots. Their obsession with Mobley (who is best their 3rd option on offense) is going to ruin this team. If they don’t get LeBron, they might as well trade Mitchell because we’re done.

[Rick Barone @RBarone7]

@punt_rd Love it and all their albums, but to me King for a Day is not only their best but one of the best albums of all time.
