Why Trump doesn’t want us to vote:
- Low turnout benefits Republican.
- High turnout benefits Democrats.
- ∴ Democracy itself is the Democratic advantag.

Gonna remind people who wanted to say Trump was better than Kamala in handling the Israel/Palestine conflict...
Kamala wanted immediate ceasefire.
Trump wanted Palastine to be leveled, turned into resort properties and maybe let refugees come back as workers.
Historic clownery.
.@JamesTalarico: To the Congresswoman Crockett’s supporters — I know I wasn’t your first choice, but I hope to earn your trust and your support. As your Democratic nominee, it’s on me to ensure you feel welcomed in, represented by, and proud of this campaign.

My two words for that law school is: HELL NO
Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.
‘Monsters, Inc.’ is reportedly getting a third movie, per WSJ.

a page from a book with the title Love Will Keep Us Together; the year 1975 and Captain & Tennille; and songwriters: Howard Greenfield and Neil Sedaka. The text reads: LOVE WILL KEEP US TOGETHER 1975 • CAPTAIN & TENNILLE Songwriters: Howard Greenfield and Neil Sedaka ON A PRAGMATIC level, romantic couples decide to stay together for many reasons: convenience, children, finances, and even laziness. In a perfect world, however, the glue that keeps most people together is love. That’s the obvious premise of “Love Will Keep Us Together,” a 1975 pop song popularized by Captain & Tennille, the husband-wife duo of Daryl “Captain” Dragon and Toni Tennille. Over and over again, the song’s narrator aims to reassure their partner that they’ll always be faithful and true. The couple is on rock-solid ground because of their love; any extramarital flirtations or romantic fakes are mere distractions. Buoyed by this earnest tone, “Love Will Keep Us Together” pairs Dragon’s bouncy keyboards and light funk grooves with Hal Blaine’s steady drumming flourishes. Tennille is the real star of the song, however, belting out the lyrics with confidence and sass—making it abundantly clear where she stands on fidelity. Beneath the enthusiastic surface, however, “Love Will Keep Us Together” certainly has some pointed lyrics. For example, the narrator says they’ll continue to love their partner forever—even when their partner’s youthful beauty fades and other people are no longer attracted to them. At other points, the narrator warns their partner not to lose focus if other people come around and try to flirt with them. That Tennille issues these warnings offers an interesting perspective flip, as you might expect a man to exhibit such casual sexism instead. Thematically, “Love Will Keep Us Together” grew out of an agonizing scenario: a schism between Neil Sedaka and his longtime writing partner Howard Greenfield.
![artwork with a heart lock with a key and the text: The pair co-wrote 1971’s Emergence, a lush, symphonic LP about which Sedaka
was excited. Unfortunately, the album wasn’t a success, which “shattered Howie
Greenfield and me,” Sedaka told Songfacts. “We split up for two-and-a-half years. It
was very sad. [Greenfield] moved to California.”
Before parting ways, the duo came together to write “Love Will Keep Us
Together,” which Sedaka thought “was kind of like his plea. We both cried after we
wrote it.” Musically, however, Sedaka was inspired by more upbeat things while
writing the song: Diana Ross’s inimitable voice, the swinging groove of the Beach
Boys’ song “Do It Again,” and the augmented chords favored by Al Green.
Sedaka cut “Love Will Keep Us Together” first, and it appeared on 1974’s
Sedaka’s Back LP. Captain & Tennille ended up recording the song after Kip Cohen,
a producer from A&M Records, played them Sedaka’s version. “And Toni Tennille
fell off her chair,” Sedaka told Paul Shaffer during a 2020 SiriusXM interview. “She
said, ‘We’re going in tomorrow [to] record that song.’” As it turned out, Captain &
Tennille needed another song to record for their debut album.
Captain & Tennille’s “Love Will Keep Us Together” spent four weeks at No. 1
on the Billboard Hot 100 and ended up as the overall top song of 1975. For good
measure, the song also took home a Grammy Award for Record of the Year. Captain &
Tennille cut a Spanish version of the song (“Por Amor Viviremos”) that also reached
the Billboard Hot 100 and later rerecorded “Love Will Keep Us Together” for a 1995
album called Twenty Years of Romance.
Paradoxically, however, the song’s promise of
fealty and longevity didn’t extend to the duo’s
relationship. Years later, the couple went
through a high-profile (and occasionally
acrimonious) divorce. Sedaka kept things
lighter, recording a version called “Lunch
Will Keep Us Together” in 2009 for his
children’s album, Waking Up Is Hard to Do.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xf4gjjvnjnxngtp64srddaex/bafkreihxu43uxthzwkayxodzr5uvbrx5yv43kdahfmq2egrvjfeob3thgu)

So bummed about the passing of Neil Sedaka. He remained so vibrant in recent years with his online concerts. I wrote about how and why he co-wrote "Love Will Keep Us Together" (popularized by Captain & Tennille) in my love songs book.
Remember when the media and the huge unaccountable influencer accounts online were so deeply invested in marketing Republican Brad Raffensperger as a hero?
There’s no such thing as a Republican hero, folks.

I just finished watching Marty Supreme, and all I can say is, there goes two hours I’ll never get back. The plot was dry, the material was slow paced, and nothing truly interesting happened until the last 40-45 minutes, I don’t know why this movie got much movie buzz. But it’s too overhyped IMO.
