This whole album is really great, I was blown away they are still putting out such quality in this day and age, made me go back and listen to the prior couple albums I had missed which were nearly as good.

I had exactly the same thought, please for the love of God do not recruit Lamb to run against Fetterman. I never really trusted Fetterman or any "cult of personality" type politician, but the only reason I wanted him to become a Senator was to keep Lamb from reviving the Blue Dog wing of the Senate.

"Queen" has historically often been used as a slur against specifically gay men in American culture, the OP's context is an example of that.

Yeah, as an American (the South, even) I can tell you that somebody angrily calling a gay couple queens if she is not herself part of the LGBTQIA+ community would not generally be something accepted here. It is a term many queer people embrace for themselves, but is still often used as a slur by an aging populace and not something a straight cis person should say.

As a Virginian, I absolutely feel the pain of New Jersey Democrats. The way the party always shits its pants with awful centrists the second they lose a national election...

Zachary Levi has to be one of the absolute least likable celebrities out there. From his vocal anti-vax views to his weird Christian libertarianism to his support of RFK Jr, every time he lets more about himself and his views be known the less I ever want to see him in another project again let alone hear another interview.

Always thought it was ironic that a guy who wrote a song called "Airplanes" would become a Flat Earther

This album meant so much to me when it came down and I still have most of the lyrics to most of the songs memorized to day, but quite frankly I am not at all a "separate the art from the artist" person, I believe the artist fundamentally imprints themselves in all of their art and however minor I'm never going to do something to financially support somebody with Kanye's views and statements, so I just simply do not listen to any Kanye anymore and if I did it would be via torrent.

This post made me look at just how many different Russ Meyer films are on IA and obviously I gotta watch all of them now, one the true kings of camp filmmaking.
