Song of the Day: PJ Harvey with "A Place Called Home" from her most ebullient and welcoming record, "Stories from the City,Stories from the Sea"

This is a class argument not a gender argument, people hate HR and they hate corporate nagging for a reason. Majority of white women voted for Donald Trump — even they hate HR lady culture.
Yes. It is an anti-intellectual practice to do an end run around reason and rigor by appealing to quasi-mystical political dogmas that cannot be challenged.
It replaces Liberal Science with something far easier and far older: substituting what must be true according to their own simplistic moral certainties for the harder discipline of asking whether their own political dogmas might be false.
The most shocking part of this story is that the NYT had a former AIPAC Activist of the Year (Katie Glueck) write a piece devoted to detailing unsubstantiated claims from a professional Republican activist (Lyndsey Fifield) on how a left Democratic Senate candidate who has promised to take on Israel (Platner) was a lousy boyfriend and sold it as a legit journalistic scoop.
James Carville backs Graham Platner: “We’ve got a fucked up guy who could be 100x more fucked up than he is and he’d never be as fucked up as what we’ve got in Washington. This country is about to lose it, the whole goddamn thing. We gotta win this. If we got a person that’s understandably got issues, good. Maybe people oughta see it and maybe we oughta be reminded what these stupid wars have brought about and the consequence of said stupid wars that stupid Susan Collins’ been for all of her political life”
I see your profile picture. That’s Johnny Cash. My hero too. Arrested seven times. Smuggled 668 amphetamines across the Mexican border in 1965. Took every drug there was and drank like I did. Cheated on his first wife. Slept with more woman than I ever did. Hit bottom in a cave in Tennessee in 1968 trying to crawl off and die. And then he got up. He got clean. He spent the rest of his life singing for prisoners and addicts and the people the country threw away because he knew he was one of them.
That was the whole point of the Man in Black. He wore it for the poor and the beaten down. He wore it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime. He wore it for the ones who never heard a word of Jesus. He wore it for the addicted and the dying. He wore it as a standing witness that no one is past saving.
You picked his picture. You did not pick his message. Try listening to the words.
@gmgeiko Im genuinely curious about their psychology how/whytheir brains do/dont work+the interaction with social conditions. Can be so with victims too, but the honest truth is most are ordinary people who we wouldnt be interested in. Occasionally there's a Cynthia Vigil but thats rare
This election is going to be entirely about pocketbook politics and affordability. No one is talking about cultural issues but centrist Dems. They are the true culture warriors.
Men have 4x the suicide rate as women, live shorter lives, are disproportionately impacted by drug addiction and immigration and the party completely ignored all these issues to focus on abortion. But now there’s no abortion rights. We did successfully run men out the party tho
