Scalise dropped his bid to be Speaker. Now who?

Frankie Valli starts a year-long tour tomorrow:

"Look for the helpers" is more like "look for the grifters." This is all so very cynical.

Gorillaz seems like the obvious winner to me as that band crosses genres and music scenes. I also recall it barely being voted down in its year, so I rarely upvoted it even though it was my favorite on the list. It just didn't need help. Gnarls Barkley doesn't surprise me either for the same reasons. A lot of the other songs were not ones that I see a wide variety in listeners.

lol I'm downvoting them because my friends think they're one of my favorite bands for some reason, so I have to hear them all the time, including recommending I sing them at karaoke. Even heated arguments insisting that I love them. I count this happening at least 3 times this year alone with people who do not even know each other but all came to the same conclusion. I have no issue with the band as people, and it would be easier if I liked their music.

Amy pissing off the evangelicals by being relatively normal and supporting gay people are points in her favor.

isn't Pavarotti supposed to be at 21 now? This is very confusing.

I'm pretty sure we're down to the last few minutes of McCarthy being Speaker of the House. Live updates of the votes: https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/matt-gaetz-kevin-mccarthy-house-speakership-10-03-23/index.html

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett's cult is finally getting some questioning from the FBI. She was notably never asked about it in her Senate hearings. Ofcourse their religious practice includes things like oppressing women and raping children. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/03/fbi-people-of-praise-amy-coney-barrett-faith-group-abuse-allegations Article highlights the important role that the press and social media played, because the FBI and other "proper channels" were doing what they always do in these circumstances. I look forward to more heightened scrutiny of the Court.

Yes in the 1990s-2000s. I had best friends who worked there, but also best friends who regularly "joked" about how many steps they could take into the store without being kicked out for being too ugly/brown. Their shopping bags had photos that are all suggestive shots of naked men. This is a company that sells khakis and rugby shirts. Ofcourse their principal photographer has also been sued for sexual assault several years ago. I'm a woman who does not wear khakis; I really should not have in-depth knowledge of this fucking clothing store but it was their mission to harass teenagers 20 years ago so I do. I think all journalists need to have ethical investigative skills, regardless if their position is the morning show, weather, red carpet, etc. Otherwise, why even bother watching them? Just look up an illiterate airhead on tiktok. My local newspaper, Boston Globe, has won several awards for playing detectives: exposing the FBI/Mafia crime network, as well as the Catholic church pedophilia. Both of these topics impacted everyone in Boston. I think the collapse of supporting the local journalism industries leads to a collapse of democracy; you just get Rupert Murdoch dictating what you cover. The press are referred to as the 4th estate as they have such an important role.
