Look. The Zohran guy's got good words, and I for sure have no major love for Cuomo.
But -- dammit -- when CLYBURN (or any elder Black Dem ,for that matters) talks, I know have to at least shut up for a little and listen. I have to take that VERY SERIOUSLY.
My gut here is that Clyburn believes that the others -- like Bernie Sanders --are all talk and likely won't be able to deliver because they don't know what they're up against.

Taken aback, Moss said simply, "Why, what man'd marry a witch?" And then, with a sidelong chewing motion of her jaw, like a sheep shifting its cud, “And what witch’d marry a man?"
They split rushes.
"What's wrong with men?" Tenar inquired cautiously.
As cautiously, lowering her voice, Moss replied, "I don't know, my dearie. I’ve thought on it. Often I’ve thought on it. The best I can say it is like this. A man’s in his skin, see, like a nut in its shell." She held up her long, bent, wet fingers as if holding a walnut. “It’s hard and strong, that shell, and it’s all full of him. Full of grand man-meat, man-self. And that’s all. That’s all there is. It’s all him and nothing else, inside."
Tenar pondered awhile and finally asked, "But if he's a wizard—"
"Then it's all his power, inside. His power’s himself, see. That’s how it is with him. And that’s all. When his power goes, he’s gone. Empty." She cracked the unseen walnut and tossed the shells away. “Nothing."
"And a woman, then?"
"Oh, well, dearie, a woman's a different thing entirely. Who knows where a woman begins and ends? Listen, mistress, I have roots, I have roots deeper than this island. Deeper than the sea, older than the raising of the lands. I go back into the dark." Moss’s eyes shone with a weird brightness in their red rims and her voice sang like an instrument. “I go back into the dark! Before the moon I was. No one knows, no one knows, no one can say what I am, what a woman is, a woman of power, a woman’s power, deeper than the roots of trees, deeper than the roots of islands, older than the Making, older than the moon. Who dares ask questions of the dark? Who’ll ask the dark its name?"

Content warning: Uspol, musk v trump
I'm so encouraged with the spat between Musk and Trump. I hope that there is a agent of chaos whispering in Musks ear, "oh my god, Trump is such an idiot. You are so much smarter. If you yell loud enough, he'll listen. Wait, did he just roll his eyes again. That little fucker doesn't respect you. You need to teach him some respect."

#GrindayFriday for this week is TRADING HANDS from the UK and their new EP 'I'm Going Out of My Mind, Does Anyone Want Anything?'
Trading Hands play a wild mix of powerviolence, grind & fastcore. This stuff is FAST, heavy, raw, tons of breakdowns. You can listen to this in no time at all. Blink and you might miss it. Weird, dynamic, I can't get enough. Easily one of my favo…
