On a recent episode of Still Processing, @Wesley_Morris was explaining how a bridge can really make a song, but how they’re getting increasingly rare in modern music. He ran though some of his favorites but I gotta say— some great ones deserved a mention.

1) Just my imagination.

2) “I wanna know” not only has a great bridge, it gets repeated. That’s god tier bridging.

I’m on this Kong/Godzilla movie watch journey and while I was disappointed by the lack of Cranston/Binoche in the first flick I watched, this Tom Hiddleston/Samuel L joint is making me confident about this choice.

Killing off the Japanese soldier and making the native people “not talk that much” seems like a cheap way to ensure John C Riley never has any non-English dialogue.

Chapman making his way alone is really stressing me out.

When the min wage "comes back up" again there will be even less incentive to pass it.

The fact that the COVID bill AND the #FightFor15 are popular is why both should be pushed now.

The pressure should be on those *against* a $15 min wage to justify tanking COVID relief over it

Instead, corporate Democrats are *thrilled* that, by decoupling the $15 min wage from the COVID bill, the parliamentarian has provided cover for their lack of commitment to a living wage. Now they have cover to avoid campaigning Manchin/Sinema and upsetting the donor base.

No one is "moving goal posts." People with experience on the hill understand that the conditions during the next reconciliation process will make a $15 min wage *less* likely to pass, not more. And some of us are unwilling to negotiate with -- say it with me -- A LIVING WAGE.

In a clubhouse room where Cenk is riling against corporate corruption of both parties and the host just invited Christine Pelosi (Nancy's daughter) on stage to comment. 👀

Cenk is arguing for #forcethevote, I mean ... er ... #dontkillitbernie.

Also, says we should support Neera's nomination because it would be a bad look for Republicans to control the cabinet.

I think I have to stop transcribing before I'm accused of being a rat Taylor Lorenz-style. But clubhouse is fascinating.

The astrology room I was in last week? Truly mind blowing. People about to come to blows over astral projection.

Sam Seder spent months arguing against the merits of a plan all while not understanding the basic mechanics of it.

It was rank negligence, and I did him a kindness by not drilling him on how irresponsible he’s been on our program.

He went on to admit that his objection was not to the strategy, which again, he didn’t even understand. His objection was to the fact that he thought the strategy was part of some greater scheme he doesn’t agree with.

He didn’t even bother to *understand* the argument.

I asked Sam *repeatedly* to articulate the downsides of #ForceTheVote. He argued that if there were a split between Pelosi and the squad, that Pelosi, whose unfavorables are worse than Trump’s, would garner public sympathy. Not just corporate media sympathy. The ppls sympathy.
