Paul McCartney produced more than his share of cutesy drek in the 70s...but buried on some of those albums are some moments of true joy and tenderness. Like this Elvis homage from 1978's London Town.
Or this breathy treat from Ram.
Pure poppy sweetness...not over thought or overwrought.

Today, on MLK day, thousands of white guys dressed up and armed themselves like they're on patrol in Iraq or Afghanistan, only they're in Richmond, Virginia. Most of them support the President who claims he wants to bring all of our soldiers home, so they can do this?
The images from today's rally should make it clear what gun rights mean to these folks. These are not people armed to defend themselves against a home invader. These are people who are drilling for armed combat, in their own country.
Just to fully spell out the logic here...training for armed combat in your own country means that you are preparing for the time when you will have to shoot at your fellow citizens, including people legally authorized to enforce the laws.

I feel like progressives should be talking more about what the Democrats' strategy is for a) keeping control of the House & winning the Senate & b) who the next generation of their leaders will be post-Pelosi and Schumer. Presidents are important, but they don't pass legislation.
Accomplishing the sorts of long-term structural change that progressives desire will be the work of a generation, not one administration (assuming the current rules and structure of the US gov't remain the same).
Building the sort of broad and deep coalition capable of making such change will be hard work. Look how baggy and oftentimes divided Reagan's coalition was...but they made it work for long enough to dramatically shift the course of American politics.

For those of you interested in the confluence of climate change, radical GOP obstructionism, and conservative social media activism...get ready for Oregon's special session which starts on Feb 3. capitalpress.com/state/oregon/t…
The Oregon political watchers in this podcast made it seem as if another GOP walkout would not be surprising. There have been a few tweaks to the climate bill they sabotaged last year with a walk out, but probably not enough. spreaker.com/user/oregonpub…
Meanwhile, the "grassroots" organization that backed those GOP walkout senators last summer has had some internal squabbling...and now appears to have been taken over by some seasoned conservative operatives. wweek.com/news/state/201…

#london RT to restart campaign to leave the UK.

Remember #Scotlond? Maybe it's just my Scottish heritage, but it feels like we share more with #SNP than we do with the (average*) of the rest of the UK.
*I'm sorry English #Remainers, I know you're stuck with them, empathy.
London and Scotland are #taxationwithoutrepresentation, dragged from EU against our will. We are the new #BostonTeaParty and the #NewEnglishEmpire is just as arrogant today as the old one was 246 years ago on 16th December.

Time WE took back control.

Despite what tory offshore owned tabloids say, London has some of the most deprived areas in the UK. It shares a long history of financial services and entrepreneurship with Scotland and similar politics
And best of all - together we are 20% of the UK, but 30% of tax revenues

Q3-2019 EARINGS - The Good, Bad, & Ugly.
With the bulk of earnings in we can analyze just how "good" those earnings actually were, and what we should expect next. Also, what #profits are telling us. $SPY $TLT #Earnings #Profits #Recession #Reversion
realinvestmentadvice.com/fundamentally-…
Earnings - The Good:
"With 73% of companies beating estimates, it certainly suggests that companies in the S&P 500 are firing on all cylinders, which should support higher asset prices."

However, as they say, the “Devil is in the details.”
Earnings - The Bad
"In order for companies to achieve the 73% 'beat rate' - estimates had to be crushed to accommodate lower earnings."

It’s #Monday, I’m boozing it up at a 4 seat bar, the #barkeep is a long pourer, and I’m all fucking set if I get something stuck between my teeth.👇🙃 #RandomThoughts #drinking #OutAndAbout
Shooting the shit with a friend, she’s proud to be doing well with her plants - unusual for her.

The key was a #video explaining the benefits of pruning.

She needs REASONS. She got them.

Apparently, pruning in a particular manner stimulates growth hormones.
#RandomThoughts
Of course, this led to me initiating a discussion about the #movie I just watched on Hulu, called “The German Doctor.”

The main character was Josef Mengele. #ThisHappened

People, this is why I’m known in my circles as “The Black Hole Of Conversation.” SMTH

Here's a surprising tidbit: Paul apparently was not very impressive in person. His speaking ability was just so-so. His physical appearance was nothing special. And he had some sort of physical ailment. (I'm guessing weak eyes based on context clues.) But it gets worse.
There were other, more dynamic leaders in the ancient church who would speak at the churches Paul started after Paul left town. And the people would be amazed at their abilities--their charisma, smooth words, and physical appearance.

And those churches would abandon Paul.
Paul refers to these individuals sarcastically as "super-apostles" in 2 Corinthians. They apparently also went to Galatia, as they were working to preach a different gospel from the one Paul had brought. Some even tried to follow Peter or Apollos (friends of Paul's) over Paul.

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
