Song of the Day 7/1: Jackson Browne, “Call It a Loan”
The Supreme Court hath spoken, and it repeated its mantra: Money talks, everything else walks. Call it American justice: Bankruptcy can wipe out all the loans you can’t repay except the ones you took out when you were in or just out of your teens.

A new day: At least the Supreme Court can’t inflict any more damage until October, can they? Plus, LLC’s and corporations still can’t vote in Seaford–until January, at least.

Song of the Day 6/30: Three Dog Night, “Black and White”
The day of jubilee is upon us! The Supreme Court, convinced of its power to dictate the terms of reality, has proclaimed that the nation is colorblind, so affirmative action is not only no longer necessary, it’s illegal!

Supreme Court Kills Affirmative Action. Because why should Black kids be as entitled as legacy fuck-ups at major institutions?: “With let-them-eat-cake obliviousness, today, the majority pulls the ripcord and announces ‘colorblindness for all’ by legal fiat. But deeming race irrelevant in law does not make it so in life,” Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote in […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: June 2023
So much good music that I had to limit each artist to one song (there were two artists for whom I had initially posted two songs each). Only available on Youtube, and, um, here. Don’t know if it’ll make it to Spotify, but I prefer this to anything on the album they put out earlier […]
