	🚀 ♥ 9:15pm tom tom the pipers son: that’s it…. whole thing
	🚀 ♥ 9:27pm JAZZfromPHILLY: Go Kill Mice❣️
	♥ 9:28pm Mike Lupica: ↳ JAZZfromPHILLY @9:27 Terminal fave from the old days, eh Jazz?
	🚀 ♥ 9:28pm JAZZfromPHILLY: A Mike classic
	🚀 ♥ 9:29pm JAZZfromPHILLY: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:28 Foreva
	♥ 9:29pm Mike Lupica: ↳ JAZZfromPHILLY @9:28 And I haven't aired it in 19 years! (I checked.)
	🚀 ♥ 9:30pm JAZZfromPHILLY: Amazing, still gets me going
	♥ 9:30pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Go Kill Mice" by "Starlite Desperation" This song is the standard bearer for much of what I hold dearest about the rock and roll.
	♥ 9:31pm Mike Lupica: HEADPHONES ON // VOLUME CLOCKWISED.
	🚀 ♥ 9:31pm JAZZfromPHILLY: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:30 Amen + Agree 🎶
	🚀 ♥ 9:32pm JAZZfromPHILLY: Anybody else enjoying Starlite Desperation??
	🚀 ♥ 9:33pm Alex from Media: ↳ JAZZfromPHILLY @9:32 Oh yes indeedy!
	🚀 ♥ 9:45pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:30 Wait ... you both said and typed "the rock and roll"!
	♥ 9:47pm Mike Lupica: Yeah, like the old saying goes: I like both kinds of music, country AND western.
	♥ 9:48pm Mike Lupica: Or the pre-hipster NYC weirdcore AND the afro-hillbilly futurism.
	♥ 9:49pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Feel It" by "DRUUGG" This is my new favorite gif.
	🚀 ♥ 9:50pm tom tom the pipers son: g.o.a.t…..goat...
	🚀 ♥ 9:50pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Le Bien, Le Mal" by "Guru & MC Solaar" This takes me back
	🚀 ♥ 9:51pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Le Bien, Le Mal" by "Guru & MC Solaar" Long time no hear. Good pick!
	♥ 9:51pm Mike Lupica: ↳ DJ Peter @9:50 I do love this series, I just really wish he hadn't called it "Jazzmatazz"
	🚀 ♥ 9:52pm DJ Peter: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:51 word
	🚀 ♥ 9:52pm Yvang: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:51 The Jazz police is matazz!
	9:54pm Erik in VT: ↳ Song: "Helen of Troy" by "John Cale" Hiya Kidz👋: went kinda ape 🦧 over this Cale album when I finally found a mint (import only?) copy back in the early 80s. Heavy stuff delivered with panache. Yet the Cale item that really turned my ear in the early 80s was that ‘animal justice’ (1977) ep with the haunting epic “Hedda Gabler” song. Still one of my fave Cale moments.
	♥ 9:55pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Erik in VT @9:54 I don' think I know that one, but "Helen of Troy" was a major record for me too.
	🚀 ♥ 10:00pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Deutschland" by "ATM" beat like tires clikcing on expansion joints. Good gif choice.
	♥ 10:01pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:00 I just dropped 800 bucks on my mechanic to fix that sound in my car.
	🚀 ♥ 10:09pm Chop Scott: ↳ Song: "Swing Chariot" by "Cyanide Tooth" How much money would it take for that loop to go anywhere?
	♥ 10:11pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Chop Scott @10:09 Do you mean the song or the gif?😉
	🚀 ♥ 10:12pm Chop Scott: The loop, not the gif.
	♥ 10:13pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Chop Scott @10:12 That would be a question for WFMU's Creamo Coyle, as that's their band!
	🚀 ♥ 10:19pm StringOFperils: Just in time for the rant!
	🚀 ♥ 10:20pm JAZZfromPHILLY: youtu.be...
	🚀 ♥ 10:25pm StringOFperils: Ranticipation
	🚀 ♥ 10:28pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Evil Eye" by "Dead Moon" #Dead Moon Head
	♥ 10:29pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:28 Cooler than all other #____heads!😉
	♥ 10:30pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @10:25 With this much buildup, you know it's gonna be disappointing.
	🚀 ♥ 10:30pm StringOFperils: Well, as long as it's someone else ranting and not me
	🚀 ♥ 10:34pm Roberto: Did I miss da rant
	🚀 ♥ 10:34pm Roberto: ↳ StringOFperils @10:25 Guess I'm not too late!
	10:37pm Erik in VT: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:55 Oh My… I am envious that you have a John Cale/Hedda Gabler ride of awe & indulgence in your near future. Of course, it’s not quite the same streaming a great old song as finding a gem vinyl … yet a must listening experience as an 8min epic feeling arrangement to die for! The band playing is at punk era inspired power. & you would probably enjoy the A-side of “Chickenshit” & a throwaway of Chuck’s “Memphis”. 😊
	♥ 10:38pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Erik in VT @10:37 Is this "Mercenaries" era Cale?
	🚀 ♥ 10:40pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Those Fucking Shoes" by "The Fuckin' Eagles, Man" Fuck
	10:40pm Erik in VT: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:38 Yes! Just before, at 1977 12”ep (only?) Apparently some semi-boot CD reissues of ‘Sabotage Live’ tacked it on to the CD - long out of print again.
	♥ 10:41pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:40 Aye.
	🚀 ♥ 10:43pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Those Fucking Shoes" by "The Fuckin' Eagles, Man" I've always heard the fuzzvox as "butt out, butt out."
	♥ 10:43pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:43 Haha! And now that you've said that, so shall I...
	🚀 ♥ 10:44pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:43 Nice.
	🚀 ♥ 10:44pm Alex from Media: What's that feeling in my neck? Oh yeah, Whiplash!
	♥ 10:45pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Erik in VT @10:40 Nice! I'll check it out -- apart from The Academy in Peril, I've yet to find a Cale record I don't love.
	♥ 10:45pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:44 It is our primary export here, up there with endlessly hyped (and then obnoxiously delayed) rants.
	10:50pm Erik in VT: ↳ Song: "Destiny Street" by "Richard Hell & the Voidoids" when Hell’s ‘Destiny Street’ arrived (1982?) it was so different in tone than the classic Voidoids album I was ‘nonplussed’ & yet I was drawn to repeat listen until it dawned on me that it was rather stellar & sturdy! I would love to own/hear this remastered completist thingy.
	🚀 ♥ 10:57pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Love is Strange" by "Mickey & Sylvia" Best intro.
	🚀 ♥ 10:58pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Love is Strange" by "Mickey & Sylvia" This spelling is strnage.
	🚀 ♥ 10:58pm Yvang: ↳ Roberto @10:58 It adds to the strangeness!
	♥ 10:58pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:58 Oops! Fixed.
	🚀 ♥ 10:59pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:58 Thnaks
	🚀 ♥ 10:59pm Yvang: ↳ Roberto @10:59 Thnaks time!
	🚀 ♥ 11:00pm Roberto: "Brought my wife and I" -- no.
	🚀 ♥ 11:00pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @11:00 Thus ends my grammatical rant.
	🚀 ♥ 11:01pm tom tom the pipers son: Times 5/31/25 The Billionaire Behind A Memoir of Divorce and Xenophobia, Ultra Wealth and Four Generations of Quilts Narrated by Cowboys Only Looks Like a Nihilist but Will Fast-Track Oil Output while They Juggle Drugs and Family Drama, With a Techno-Futuristic Philosophy in an Anthem of Transformation that Has One Final Jewel in its Crown Which is to Restore All Your Rusty Metal, a Bellwether for Populists
	🚀 ♥ 11:01pm Roberto: Gotta agree, all I could think in the end is why tf is this '80s drek playing at a '60s resort.
	🚀 ♥ 11:03pm Roberto: I met Jerry once in 1981 after a performance of 42nd Street. My mom asked him how his wife was. He responded "we're divorced."
	🚀 ♥ 11:05pm Alex from Media: Props to Red Dawn. Havent seen any of the other movies.
	🚀 ♥ 11:08pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:01 A lot to unfold there.
	🚀 ♥ 11:10pm Chop Scott: Joe Walsh--who certainly deserves respect--could not bring respect to the Eagles.
	🚀 ♥ 11:11pm Yvang: ↳ Alex from Media @11:05 I also have some Swayze homework to do.
	🚀 ♥ 11:12pm Roberto: Mike, what's your take on the infamous SNL Chippendale's sketch?
	🚀 ♥ 11:14pm Alex from Media: ↳ Yvang @11:11 Was it Swayze was in that Ghost movie?
	🚀 ♥ 11:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @11:08 yes…. i’m unsure about this one… it worked out in a weird way…. but restoring rusty metal seems like it would appeal to populists… those type of populists
	♥ 11:15pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @11:12 As someone who has avoided SNL for most of his life, all I can say is that "I remember its existence"
	🚀 ♥ 11:16pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Love Me, I'm a Liberal" by "Phil Ochs" Touché, Phil.
	♥ 11:16pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:14 Yes, never saw that one. He wasn't actually that prolific as an actor.
	🚀 ♥ 11:16pm Yvang: ↳ Alex from Media @11:14 Yes. This one I've seen...a long time ago.
	🚀 ♥ 11:17pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:15 The two Bobs, Odenkirk and Smigel, were both involved in its creation. Bob O hated it while Bob S loved it.
	🚀 ♥ 11:20pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @11:17 Swayze and Chris Farley both auditioned shirtless for a single Chippendale's slot. I thought it was empowering -- they were both great dancers.
	🚀 ♥ 11:21pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Nana" by "Mira" Juana Molina influence. Like it.
	♥ 11:24pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:21 With a generous helping of Laurie Anderson's "O Superman"
	🚀 ♥ 11:25pm tom tom the pipers son: what did snl do with tr—p this year? it’s hard to look at at face value i would think…like a lot of people liked tina fey’s sarah palin… i just saw it as making her cute and greasing the wheels back then for what we’re getting now...
	♥ 11:28pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:25 Hypernormalisation.
	🚀 ♥ 11:28pm Roberto: Pretty, pretty good rant, by the way.
	🚀 ♥ 11:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:28 right…even the depiction of stupidity served her triumph of will…look at how tr—p is using it
	♥ 11:30pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @11:28 I only ever seem to rant about unpopular topics. Every rant should be an uphill climb, I guess. I only hope Fabio wasn't listening.
	🚀 ♥ 11:31pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:25 Comedy is badly injured by the current right wing behavior which can't be overcome by satire.
	♥ 11:31pm Mike Lupica: These people aren't pioneers... they're the waste product of pop culture and digital feces from the last 40 years, and they're dragging us into the unknown.
	🚀 ♥ 11:32pm Alex from Media: Dont be dissin Fabio round here!
	♥ 11:33pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:32 No diss intended! I love the guy, I just know how he'd react to a Defense Of Swayze Rant.
	🚀 ♥ 11:33pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @11:31 right… and the audience laughs at their own demise
	🚀 ♥ 11:33pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:31 agree
	🚀 ♥ 11:33pm Roberto: As I say all too often lately, I laugh so as not to cry.
	♥ 11:34pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Lovebites" by "Lava LaRue" Whoops, that photo is actually from last year. I guess now I know the playlist system keeps captions associated with uploads whether they're accurate or not.
	♥ 11:35pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @11:33 Aye. So say we all.
	🚀 ♥ 11:37pm StringOFperils: Serious economic pain coming soon. There's gonna be blowback.
	♥ 11:39pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @11:37 Yep. The smart money's on totally deregulated AI making unemployment surge.
	🚀 ♥ 11:41pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:39 ...and AI failing at jobs tech thinks it can perform
	🚀 ♥ 11:42pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Garden State" by "Beni Jusu" WTF does that goddam Trrenton sign mean anyway
	🚀 ♥ 11:42pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Garden State" by "Beni Jusu" "Dumb Donald Dump" hahaha
	🚀 ♥ 11:42pm StringOFperils: T*&#mP's tinternational tariff ping-pong is destroying businesses in the States, like starting immediately, so a lot of business owners will be gunning for him.
	🚀 ♥ 11:44pm Roberto: We need to focus most of our efforts on preserving whatever voting rights may be left. Dernald can be defeated but only if we still have free-ish elections.
	🚀 ♥ 11:46pm tom tom the pipers son: tech firm hired to gather personal information on u.s. citizen…you have to think that ICE roundups are trial runs for doing same to citizens…. first the came for, dot dot dot.
	🚀 ♥ 11:48pm StringOFperils: www.theguardian.com...
	🚀 ♥ 11:49pm Roberto: ↳ Alex from Media @11:42 "I give and give and give and these are the thanks I get"
	♥ 11:49pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:46 As I am doing, and as I keep telling anyone who feels despair: MAKE. A. PLAN.
	🚀 ♥ 11:49pm Alex from Media: ↳ Roberto @11:49 Hahahaha
	🚀 ♥ 11:50pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:49 The counter-birthday-parade is on the 14th. Make a plan to be there.
	🚀 ♥ 11:50pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:49 Also turn off your cell phone when you make your plan.
	🚀 ♥ 11:51pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks mike...
	🚀 ♥ 11:52pm Alex from Media: Thanks Mike!
	🚀 ♥ 11:54pm Yvang: Always a great time, thanks Mike!
	🚀 ♥ 11:55pm StringOFperils: Happy 51st (?) anniversary of June 1, 1974 Ayers, Cale, Nico, Eno! Thanks for the sho, Mike!
	🚀 ♥ 11:57pm Roberto: Soya!
	♥ 12:00am Mike Lupica: Peas out, pitcrew. See ya next week.

	🚀 ♥ 9:52pm Yvang: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:51 The Jazz police is matazz!
	9:54pm Erik in VT: ↳ Song: "Helen of Troy" by "John Cale" Hiya Kidz👋: went kinda ape 🦧 over this Cale album when I finally found a mint (import only?) copy back in the early 80s. Heavy stuff delivered with panache. Yet the Cale item that really turned my ear in the early 80s was that ‘animal justice’ (1977) ep with the haunting epic “Hedda Gabler” song. Still one of my fave Cale moments.
	♥ 9:55pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Erik in VT @9:54 I don' think I know that one, but "Helen of Troy" was a major record for me too.
	🚀 ♥ 10:00pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Deutschland" by "ATM" beat like tires clikcing on expansion joints. Good gif choice.
	♥ 10:01pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:00 I just dropped 800 bucks on my mechanic to fix that sound in my car.
	🚀 ♥ 10:09pm Chop Scott: ↳ Song: "Swing Chariot" by "Cyanide Tooth" How much money would it take for that loop to go anywhere?
	♥ 10:11pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Chop Scott @10:09 Do you mean the song or the gif?😉
	🚀 ♥ 10:12pm Chop Scott: The loop, not the gif.
	♥ 10:13pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Chop Scott @10:12 That would be a question for WFMU's Creamo Coyle, as that's their band!
	🚀 ♥ 10:19pm StringOFperils: Just in time for the rant!
	🚀 ♥ 10:20pm JAZZfromPHILLY: youtu.be...
	🚀 ♥ 10:25pm StringOFperils: Ranticipation
	🚀 ♥ 10:28pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Evil Eye" by "Dead Moon" #Dead Moon Head
	♥ 10:29pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:28 Cooler than all other #____heads!😉
	♥ 10:30pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @10:25 With this much buildup, you know it's gonna be disappointing.
	🚀 ♥ 10:30pm StringOFperils: Well, as long as it's someone else ranting and not me
	🚀 ♥ 10:34pm Roberto: Did I miss da rant
	🚀 ♥ 10:34pm Roberto: ↳ StringOFperils @10:25 Guess I'm not too late!
	10:37pm Erik in VT: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:55 Oh My… I am envious that you have a John Cale/Hedda Gabler ride of awe & indulgence in your near future. Of course, it’s not quite the same streaming a great old song as finding a gem vinyl … yet a must listening experience as an 8min epic feeling arrangement to die for! The band playing is at punk era inspired power. & you would probably enjoy the A-side of “Chickenshit” & a throwaway of Chuck’s “Memphis”. 😊
	♥ 10:38pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Erik in VT @10:37 Is this "Mercenaries" era Cale?
	🚀 ♥ 10:40pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Those Fucking Shoes" by "The Fuckin' Eagles, Man" Fuck
	10:40pm Erik in VT: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:38 Yes! Just before, at 1977 12”ep (only?) Apparently some semi-boot CD reissues of ‘Sabotage Live’ tacked it on to the CD - long out of print again.
	♥ 10:41pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:40 Aye.
	🚀 ♥ 10:43pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Those Fucking Shoes" by "The Fuckin' Eagles, Man" I've always heard the fuzzvox as "butt out, butt out."
	♥ 10:43pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:43 Haha! And now that you've said that, so shall I...
	🚀 ♥ 10:44pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:43 Nice.
	🚀 ♥ 10:44pm Alex from Media: What's that feeling in my neck? Oh yeah, Whiplash!
	♥ 10:45pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Erik in VT @10:40 Nice! I'll check it out -- apart from The Academy in Peril, I've yet to find a Cale record I don't love.
	♥ 10:45pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:44 It is our primary export here, up there with endlessly hyped (and then obnoxiously delayed) rants.
	10:50pm Erik in VT: ↳ Song: "Destiny Street" by "Richard Hell & the Voidoids" when Hell’s ‘Destiny Street’ arrived (1982?) it was so different in tone than the classic Voidoids album I was ‘nonplussed’ & yet I was drawn to repeat listen until it dawned on me that it was rather stellar & sturdy! I would love to own/hear this remastered completist thingy.
	🚀 ♥ 10:57pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Love is Strange" by "Mickey & Sylvia" Best intro.
	🚀 ♥ 10:58pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Love is Strange" by "Mickey & Sylvia" This spelling is strnage.
	🚀 ♥ 10:58pm Yvang: ↳ Roberto @10:58 It adds to the strangeness!
	♥ 10:58pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:58 Oops! Fixed.
	🚀 ♥ 10:59pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:58 Thnaks
	🚀 ♥ 10:59pm Yvang: ↳ Roberto @10:59 Thnaks time!
	🚀 ♥ 11:00pm Roberto: "Brought my wife and I" -- no.
	🚀 ♥ 11:00pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @11:00 Thus ends my grammatical rant.
	🚀 ♥ 11:01pm tom tom the pipers son: Times 5/31/25 The Billionaire Behind A Memoir of Divorce and Xenophobia, Ultra Wealth and Four Generations of Quilts Narrated by Cowboys Only Looks Like a Nihilist but Will Fast-Track Oil Output while They Juggle Drugs and Family Drama, With a Techno-Futuristic Philosophy in an Anthem of Transformation that Has One Final Jewel in its Crown Which is to Restore All Your Rusty Metal, a Bellwether for Populists
	🚀 ♥ 11:01pm Roberto: Gotta agree, all I could think in the end is why tf is this '80s drek playing at a '60s resort.
	🚀 ♥ 11:03pm Roberto: I met Jerry once in 1981 after a performance of 42nd Street. My mom asked him how his wife was. He responded "we're divorced."
	🚀 ♥ 11:05pm Alex from Media: Props to Red Dawn. Havent seen any of the other movies.
	🚀 ♥ 11:08pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:01 A lot to unfold there.
	🚀 ♥ 11:10pm Chop Scott: Joe Walsh--who certainly deserves respect--could not bring respect to the Eagles.
	🚀 ♥ 11:11pm Yvang: ↳ Alex from Media @11:05 I also have some Swayze homework to do.
	🚀 ♥ 11:12pm Roberto: Mike, what's your take on the infamous SNL Chippendale's sketch?
	🚀 ♥ 11:14pm Alex from Media: ↳ Yvang @11:11 Was it Swayze was in that Ghost movie?
	🚀 ♥ 11:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @11:08 yes…. i’m unsure about this one… it worked out in a weird way…. but restoring rusty metal seems like it would appeal to populists… those type of populists
	♥ 11:15pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @11:12 As someone who has avoided SNL for most of his life, all I can say is that "I remember its existence"
	🚀 ♥ 11:16pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Love Me, I'm a Liberal" by "Phil Ochs" Touché, Phil.
	♥ 11:16pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:14 Yes, never saw that one. He wasn't actually that prolific as an actor.
	🚀 ♥ 11:16pm Yvang: ↳ Alex from Media @11:14 Yes. This one I've seen...a long time ago.
	🚀 ♥ 11:17pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:15 The two Bobs, Odenkirk and Smigel, were both involved in its creation. Bob O hated it while Bob S loved it.
	🚀 ♥ 11:20pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @11:17 Swayze and Chris Farley both auditioned shirtless for a single Chippendale's slot. I thought it was empowering -- they were both great dancers.
	🚀 ♥ 11:21pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Nana" by "Mira" Juana Molina influence. Like it.
	♥ 11:24pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:21 With a generous helping of Laurie Anderson's "O Superman"
	🚀 ♥ 11:25pm tom tom the pipers son: what did snl do with tr—p this year? it’s hard to look at at face value i would think…like a lot of people liked tina fey’s sarah palin… i just saw it as making her cute and greasing the wheels back then for what we’re getting now...
	♥ 11:28pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:25 Hypernormalisation.
	🚀 ♥ 11:28pm Roberto: Pretty, pretty good rant, by the way.
	🚀 ♥ 11:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:28 right…even the depiction of stupidity served her triumph of will…look at how tr—p is using it
	♥ 11:30pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @11:28 I only ever seem to rant about unpopular topics. Every rant should be an uphill climb, I guess. I only hope Fabio wasn't listening.
	🚀 ♥ 11:31pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:25 Comedy is badly injured by the current right wing behavior which can't be overcome by satire.
	♥ 11:31pm Mike Lupica: These people aren't pioneers... they're the waste product of pop culture and digital feces from the last 40 years, and they're dragging us into the unknown.
	🚀 ♥ 11:32pm Alex from Media: Dont be dissin Fabio round here!
	♥ 11:33pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:32 No diss intended! I love the guy, I just know how he'd react to a Defense Of Swayze Rant.
	🚀 ♥ 11:33pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @11:31 right… and the audience laughs at their own demise
	🚀 ♥ 11:33pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:31 agree
	🚀 ♥ 11:33pm Roberto: As I say all too often lately, I laugh so as not to cry.
	♥ 11:34pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Lovebites" by "Lava LaRue" Whoops, that photo is actually from last year. I guess now I know the playlist system keeps captions associated with uploads whether they're accurate or not.
	♥ 11:35pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @11:33 Aye. So say we all.
	🚀 ♥ 11:37pm StringOFperils: Serious economic pain coming soon. There's gonna be blowback.
	♥ 11:39pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @11:37 Yep. The smart money's on totally deregulated AI making unemployment surge.
	🚀 ♥ 11:41pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:39 ...and AI failing at jobs tech thinks it can perform
	🚀 ♥ 11:42pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Garden State" by "Beni Jusu" WTF does that goddam Trrenton sign mean anyway
	🚀 ♥ 11:42pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Garden State" by "Beni Jusu" "Dumb Donald Dump" hahaha
	🚀 ♥ 11:42pm StringOFperils: T*&#mP's tinternational tariff ping-pong is destroying businesses in the States, like starting immediately, so a lot of business owners will be gunning for him.
	🚀 ♥ 11:44pm Roberto: We need to focus most of our efforts on preserving whatever voting rights may be left. Dernald can be defeated but only if we still have free-ish elections.
	🚀 ♥ 11:46pm tom tom the pipers son: tech firm hired to gather personal information on u.s. citizen…you have to think that ICE roundups are trial runs for doing same to citizens…. first the came for, dot dot dot.
	🚀 ♥ 11:48pm StringOFperils: www.theguardian.com...
