Neo, I am sure that this song is bringing you solace at this time.
Listening, I am thinking of my Parents now.
I’m wondering how the spin will go with “white supremacy of the police” on the release of the Tyre Nichols video when all 5 of the cops are black??
They identify as “white?”
Or, “The (white) Devil made them do it!” apology to Flip Wilson.
You advance the revolution with the narrative you have. Acab – no reason for anything else.
Miss these guys…
I must be getting old.
I never would have imagined that an adult has not heard that song
Not even once.
And a few days back, Neo posted another B G’s open thread in which some guy from ??? ( I forget where) was listening for the first time to “Stayin Alive.”
For Pete’s sake (BTW, who is Pete, anyway?) that song by now has been probably heard a zillion times by alien beings living in another solar system.
i’ve heard it before, but I try to repress the memory. 🙂
Crazy awesome harmonies. One of those “background songs” that are over-heard (overly heard?) to the extent that familiarity blots out how special it is.
I love that generation Z (or whatever we’re on now) is discovering the Old Music but how likely is it that the One Guy that’s never heard this song has hair looks very late seventies BeeGee-ish!? Some sort of ley line mystical convergence at work, no doubt.
physics guy,
A big reason behind the concepts of “whiteness” and “institutional racism” is that these concepts permit the authoritarian left to identify and dismiss black people who don’t agree or cooperate with them. The cops are always “white” and part of the “institution” that is “racist.”
Love <3
physicsguy… just listen to the media whore bloodsucking lawyer Crump.
“It’s all good because the black Chief dropped the hammer hard and fast.”
Nichols’ mom has already started the tribal shame rituals “shame on your family shame on our community…etc…”
They’re now not black but blue. Disowned by the tribe.
I wasn’t familiar with Neve Yaakov (“Jacob’s Oasis”), so I looked it up. It’s between East Jerusalem and Ramallah. Geography somewhat tells the story of today’s terrorist attack.
In related news, Ukrainian refugees in parts of England are alarmed to find few native English and far too many Muslims. Good luck to them, and to us all.
like hank rodgers (ibrahim kendi) very bourgeois parents, who he has downed
Miguel:
Did you mean to say that he “disowned” his parents? Ibrahim Kendi, the race hustler?
One can verbally put down someone, or put them down (execute, kill, murder).
John Tyler asked: For Pete’s sake (BTW, who is Pete, anyway?)
Three different accounts of the origin of the phrase– you can choose the one you prefer: 1) “for Pete’s sake” is a corruption of the phrase “for pity’s sake,” which goes back to the seventeenth century; 2) “Pete” is a substitution for “Christ,” a usage that began around 1900 because “for Christ’s sake” was offensive to devout Christians; 3) “Pete” is St. Peter, the former fisherman who holds the keys to the kingdom of heaven and decides whether or not you’ll be admitted.
Hope this helps; both of my grandmothers used the phrase, and I just assumed the third explanation when I was a kid.
Ronna McDaniel wins another term as RNC Chair, so I guess we’ll keep doing what didn’t work the last three election cycles. I suppose it’s possible she had enough of a scare to open her mind to newer approaches, but I doubt it.
Kurt Schlichter, who was there, insists that he personally saw Trump’s staff whipping up votes for McDaniel.
Kate:
If Trump only knew what his staff was up to?
Ronna needs to be fired, a failed apprentice. Sigh.
om, some people on Twitter are trying to claim that Trump was neutral in the race, but when his staff take sides, I think it means they’re doing it on his orders.
I suppose this is related to big donors, which means that the little people like me are not important. Not very Trump-like, or not 2016 Trump-like.
the story is even stranger than veritas describes,
Yippie!
I spoke to UNM Advisement (don’t you love the multisplendored names for bureaucracy) and I don’t have to get Covid boosted this semester. I did OK with the J&J vaxx, but the Pfizer booster knocked me out for two days.
I’ll take the summer off. Travel in the fall. Then, if I wish to continue, I’ll take Differential Equations next spring.
Perhaps Covid madness will be over by then. But I could be wrong. I see signs that the new dispensation is a yearly Covid shot.
Congratulations, huxley!!
Thanks, Kate.
I had received another semi-threatening email about getting boosted. But the Advisement lady told me that was a “recommendation.”
“Too Much Heaven” was definitely part of the musical wallpaper in 1979. Listening to it now, I can hear a lot of Philly soul in there.
As great as the Delfonics were for three-part romantic harmonies with lush orchestration, the Bee Gees song is a whole ‘nother level. Intricate and lacy.
friedman has gotten most things wrong since 1982, beinart, has been struggling to catch up in the last 16 yeats,

Apparently it was only in 2019 that the RNC was freed from a 40-year consent decree saying it couldn’t engage in election security issues, so one explanation for recent events is that they didn’t have the institutional muscle memory for how to be effective in 2020 and 2022. One hopes that they’ve been making the effort to hire up and make the necessary connections.
Lovely lovely song. Perfect…for a couple of minutes.
Needs a proper ending rather than a meandering fade-out.
Bryan Lovely, yes, I know that; I participated in the RNC-funded election integrity efforts in my state in 2022. It helped here, where election laws are already pretty tight. But we have been swamped by the early voting and fraudulent voting in other places, and, according to what I read, the effective digital work of the Dems. I heard McDaniel, after the RNC election, talking again about knocking on doors and being poll observers. It’s not enough. Dillon was right to say we need new approaches and fewer “consultants.”

Little Tommy Friedman and Peter Beinart are butthurt and envious over Jewish groups using ‘power and influence’ to stop the US from being tough on Israel. Something in their past makes them feel threatened by Israeli masculinity. It’s a shame that they grew up to be such slimy weasels.
