Something/Someone Old
I found this today while Christmas shopping for a dear friend I don't see much. She's interested in maps, and she's from the Research Triangle, so I thought this might be nice:
Rage Against The Machine, that is.
RATM had some of the best, most politically explosive lyrics in music history.
I know that's a bold statement.
I say it with deference to Bob Dylan.
The Clash wrote such brilliant songs as Lost in the Supermarket and Clampdown. In Death and Glory was possibly the single greatest line in rock history: "He who fuck nuns will later join the church."
That was the prior expectation. No doubt Kate Aronoff and others expected Joe Biden's big contact with the Peter G. Peterson Foundation to head the Office of Management and Budget.

“What are you doing?"
"I'm darning a sock," he said, holding it up to show me.
"What's that lump inside?"
"A sock egg."
"A sock egg? I didn't know socks hatched from eggs."
"Only the best ones do. I can't wear the cheap kind, the ones that grow on trees. They give me blisters.”

‘Top scientist assassinated as Israel and US stage war provocations against Iran’, Bill Van Auken, 28 November 2020 (w/ permission; I’ll paste in most if it, add other bits)
“The brutal assassination Friday of top Iranian nuclear physicist Moshen Fakhrizadeh marks a major escalation of the US-Israeli campaign to provoke a war with Iran in the less than two months before the scheduled end of Donald Trump’s presidency.
The Iranian scientist was ambushed by a team of assassins Friday morning in Absard, an eastern suburb of Tehran. His vehicle was attacked with automatic weapons fire, and then a pickup truck loaded with lumber covering explosives blew up next to the scientist’s car.
I probably won't change my Friday open thread to "Let's talk about ...."
But if I did make the change it would probably mean posting a collection of my favorite commentaries from this journalist each week
