  • Wait until you find out about the Barenaked Ladies :-D

    Barenaked Ladies (BNL) is a Canadian rock band formed in 1988 in Scarborough. The band developed a following in Canada in the early 1990s with their cassette Barenaked Ladies (1991) and their debut album Gordon (1992). The band’s popularity eventually spread to the United States following the release of versions of “Brian Wilson” and “The Old Apartment” from their 1996 live album, Rock Spectacle. In 1998, Barenaked Ladies released their fourth studio album, Stunt, which contains their highest-charting hit, “One Week”, along with “It’s All Been Done” and “Call and Answer”.[2] Their fifth album, Maroon (and lead single “Pinch Me”), also charted well. The band is also known for creating and performing the theme song of the American sitcom The Big Bang Theory. Barenaked Ladies has continued to regularly tour and record new music, having released 14 primary studio albums of original material and three themed studio albums.

    Initially a duo of singer-guitarists Ed Robertson and Steven Page,[3] the band grew to a quintet by 1990, adding brothers Jim and Andy Creeggan on bass and keyboards/congas, respectively, and drummer Tyler Stewart. Andy Creeggan left the band in 1995, and was replaced by multi-instrumentalist Kevin Hearn. Page left in 2009, reducing the group to a quartet.

    The band’s style has evolved, and its music (originally acoustic) grew to encompass a mixture of pop, rock and folk.[4][5] Their live performances feature comedic banter and freestyle rapping between songs.[6] They have received a number of Juno Awards, and have been nominated for two Grammy Awards.[7] The group has sold over 15 million albums and singles, and was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in March 2018.









  • Yeah I haven’t bought this argument since day one of the whole thing. Trump didn’t go to war to distract from Epstein or ICE, at least not as directly as you make it.

    Pre-war polling saw that Trump’s popularity was pretty much unchanged with likely R voters even through last summer, the December vote, and Bondi’s firing. He’s made it very clear he doesn’t feel like he needs to win over new supporters, either, and with both houses still R at least through November, there wasn’t much reason for him to care about Epstein. It was already out of the news and voters were buying the Bondi-scapegoat story.

    The idea that Trump was actually super upset that people were mad about ICE and wanted a distraction is just funny. The show of force, shock, confusion, and coverage was the point, Stephen Miller said as much from day 1, and to reiterate: Trump wasn’t losing any R votes over these policies.

    Right wing media had both of these under control with a good spin on them. There was literally no reason to do something so obviously doomed and tank the one thing every American (apparently) cares about, gas prices, to distract from either of these stories that were already on their way out.

    Trump started a war with Iran because 1) it’s the thing Israel has been begging anyone to back them up on for fifty years and 2) he felt bullet proof (militarily and petrologically) after Venezuela.

    /rant. I had a much better version of this typed up and then refreshed the page and lost it all :-)
