So something to know about me is that I've listened to Heaven or Las Vegas probably four or five hundred times. I was going through stuff recently and set this Cocteau Twins folder open on my desktop for at least a week.

Last night I finally started in on it.

First time listening to everything before Heaven Or Las Vegas all the way through and it's just what I needed. Right at this very moment I might be the one person on this giant rock most excited to listen to Victorialand and Blue Bell Knoll and it's goofy and awesome and my gratitude swells.

Thank you, past me. What a gift. Give yourself gifts.

Over at the hellsite, Angry Staffer has been rightfully gloating.

He's completely unaccountable for an insurrection. You're cheering over a first time offense in NYC that he will serve zero jail time if found guilty."

They divulged they had heard a recording of phone call Trump placed to late House Speaker David Ralston in which the pres asked the fellow Republican to convene a special session of the legislature to overturn Biden’s narrow victory.

Former Sen. David Perdue was asked by the grand jurors about a meeting at Truist Park in December 2020, during which he told Gov. Brian Kemp he wanted the legislature to convene a special session to challenge Biden’s victory

Since the Murdoch family launched Fox "News" several decades ago, Big Journalism has consistently endorsed the fiction that the outlet is journalistic in nature. There was an element of truth to that early on.

But for the past decade and longer, Fox "News" has been a thoroughly dishonest, relentless propagandist. It accumulates power and money by poisoning our public sphere.

Yet the journalism trade persists in calling it a news outlet, compounding the dishonesty.

It's disheartening.

If someone tells me with a straight face their 'job' is influencer I laugh soooo hard at them and walk away.

I don't care what they have to say from their high horse telling me what to do, often they are soo clueless in life it's kinda sad

A “news” agency pushing the “big lie” knowing that it was false. You got to feel bad for the people who get their information from them. What else are they being lied to about? How many other daily lies are they being innocently fed? It’s a huge betrayal to them & the rest of us.

“Murdoch said Fox News hosts Sean Hannity, Lou Dobbs, Maria Bartiromo and Jeanine Pirro all endorsed the notion that the election was stolen.”
