And I can remember that “Chris Gaines” rock song but not for the life of me place its name.
Also, this is every bit like U2 setting the record in 2011, because they’re each about as far from their heyday. Though Garth also increased the demand by being out of the game for a decade-plus.

I have to say, that’s the only time I’ve ever seen a scale where “1” is the MORE-SIGNIFICANT side. Because America has been one of the LEAST-free countries for at least 2 1/2 years and arguably at least 40. It’s only free if you compare it with the USSR.

And I stand corrected; the first two are album titles only, because he had a weird habit of naming his albums things that no song was titled. But “The Thunder Rolls” was on the first, and “The River” was on the second (that, BTW, was eventually the title of another album that I think didn’t have the song on it; 90s country was a weird thing).

I honestly didn’t think I could get more of a laugh from reading the “agreement” that allowed Donny to blink and avoid politically disastrous tariffs to be enacted. Then I went over to FR and saw the Freepers not only celebrating this “win,” but ripping into any Republican who said it was ludicrous to slap tariffs on Mexico. This nitwit has not only hurt his own bargaining position (Xi, are you listening?), but he’s also further destabilized his own party at a time when they need to be unifying to avoid fratricidal blood-letting come primary season.

Some good news of note from my neck of the woods:
EuroHPC has selected 8 sites for supercomputing centres located in 8 different Member States to host the new high-performance computing machines. The hosting sites will be located in Sofia (Bulgaria), Ostrava (Czechia), Kajaani (Finland), Bologna (Italy), Bissen (Luxembourg), Minho (Portugal), Maribor (Slovenia), and Barcelona (Spain). They will support the development of major applications in domains such as personalised medicine, drug and material design, bio-engineering, weather forecasting, and climate change. In total, 19 of the 28 countries participating in the Joint Undertaking will be part of the consortia operating the centres. Together with EU funds, it represents a total budget of € 840 million. The exact funding arrangements for the new supercomputers will be reflected in hosting agreements that will be signed soon.

They’re just falling into that old habit - ironically enough, noted quite eloquently in the HBO Chernobyl miniseries.
When the truth offends, we lie and lie until we can no longer remember it is even there. But it is still there.
Also sort of touches on the notion of hypernormalization - everyone knew deep down that everything was shit, but because the Soviet system precluded any alternatives to the status quo, everyone pretended that “everything is awesome” and after awhile, that pretending became a pseudo-reality in and of itself.
Indeed, everything is awesome! Well, provided you simply refuse to believe what you can see with your own eyes.

Well, since we know our Moron-in-Chief is never going to acknowledge any sort of “loss” of any kind whatsoever (except if he thinks he can neatly shift the blame for it onto Somebody Else), it’s no surprise he’d ignore the boring tariff stuff and focus on the “tough stance with Mexico” part. Mainly, IMO, because “tough” “policy” beating back the “hordes of illegals” is the main thing the Admin imagines its base cares about. And they’re probably right.

“More importantly, are Americans ready to withstand another four years of male presidency? It is unpleasant to traffic in stereotypes, and many men are in no way like this, but recent experience teaches that for usually 31 days a month (sometimes 30, occasionally 28), a male president will fall victim to irritability and irrationality that causes him to embarrass the nation abroad and make emotional decisions not based on math or information.

This happened on Bill Maher (dailykos.com):
Tonight, Rep. Katie Porter was on and she “killed” every time she spoke, making her points with clarity and humor. When they got to a discussion of Biden’s flip flop on the Hyde Amendment. Maher said he’s pro-choice, but has mixed feelings because his mother was advised, after a difficult first birth, not to have another child. She did anyway, and it was little Bill. So Maher made the faux-existential argument: What if she’d chosen not to have him and he was never here? This argument always intrigues me — if that happened, how would you know you were never here? Could you miss yourself? Would others miss you? If your non-existent self fell in a forest, would it really have happened?
Skipping these questions, Porter said, “Well, Bill, your mother made a choice, and we all are living with the consequences of it.”
The crowd went nuts. Maher was speechless. Charles Blow put his head on his desk in an attempt quell uncontrollable laughter.

Trump has yet to make an actual deal with anyone. N Korea, Iran, Russia, China, now Mexico. No actual formal written deals, just continual suck-ass to violently hostile foreign dictators and now Mexico’s non-existent 6000 member border guard “deal”.
After Trump is gone, his administration will be perhaps the only one that lasted a full term with no actual formal agreements with any foreign government.

I like Mark Summers take:
Trump declares victory over Trump: Mock threat to impose tariffs on Mexico gets mock solution
Donald Trump has agreed to not do that thing he was going to do so … victory! On Friday evening, Trump declared that he had “signed an agreement with Mexico” under which Mexico will “take strong measures” to reduce immigrants crossing the border into the United States. And because of this agreement, Trump will “indefinitely suspend” the tariffs that were set to take effect on Monday.
Mexico has supposedly agreed to disperse more of it’s own national guard along immigration routes, and along the border with Guatemala in order to turn back refugees before the reach the United States. It has also agreed that some immigrants waiting on asylum claims will remain on the Mexico side of the border, even though that means they won’t have access to attorneys or courts where their asylum claims are being heard. Mexico did not agree to changes in asylum rules that would have limited which immigrants were allowed to apply.
Whether any of this will make any appreciable difference isn’t clear. But it doesn’t have to be. When Trump issued his tariff threat on May 30, he didn’t provide any goals, any numbers, any rules, or even guidelines. He made it clear that he was the sole judge of whether Mexico was doing enough to evade his wrath, and that he could change his mind at any time, for any reason.
Remember the guy who the Univerity of Alabama decided they couldn’t take his $26.5M because he didn’t like Alabama’s new abortion law? His name is Hugh Culverhouse, and last year the school named the law school after him. Now they are removing the name: dailykos.com
Edited to add this:
Culverhouses’ father was a board member for Planned Parenthood. His name remains on the Univeristy of Alabama’s business school. For now.

Though you have to wonder whether someone else has already pledged them $25M to replace that.
I also don’t know how big UofAlabama’s endowment is. Probably not in the league of Harvard’s multiple billions, but if large enough I guess that gives the board some leeway to refuse/return a gift.

Nobody should attend the U of A law school. Seriously, nobody. It just shows that the university and the law school will crater on something that affects half their student population. When I was in my first semester of law school in 1986, I thought I was pregnant and faced the very real possibility of having to consider an abortion. As it turns out, I wasn’t pregnant (thanks to the no longer with us gay men who drove me to the Walgreens so I could buy a pregnancy test), but the stress of law school had caused amenorrhea. I learned from other female classmates that they’d had the same problem.
Fuck those guys. I am seriously, seriously, SERIOUSLY tired of their bullshit that is going to get women damaged and killed.
We lost my brother Tony last night. It’s hard to find words, my mind is flooded with memories of him today. When he walked into a room he’d light it up with laughter. He was kind, generous, & a wonderful husband to Megan & father to Zach, Simon, & Fiona. We’ll miss him very much.
