My original claim to internet fame was pointing out the shocking decline in key changes in popular songs. As a few years have passed, I decided to revisit the original piece to see if things have changed.
Political science lit suggests Trump won because voters were mad at the incumbent party for poor economic performance from 2021-2024. We will get to see whether that same principle applies to 2026, 2028. So far, sociotropic voting appears to be holding, with Trump underwater by ~10 on the economy.
Because I can't resist poking the bear - should people really hate the Studio Ghibli AI art as much as they do?
No other topic I write about seems to get people as mad as the AI art discourse.

If this info wasn’t classified, that in itself would be a scandalous screw-up that must be explained.
And if it was classified, then the Trump administration lied to Congress and to the American people.

Most doctors are still trying to put us all on statins. Most life insurance companies still won’t sell you insurance if you’re really fit, have great bp and ‘high cholesterol’. Talking with a person visiting from Scotland yesterday, it is painfully obvious that Americans are penalized in this for not buying into the corporate food, medicine and entertainment industry. Makes you want to be like the Amish.
Here's one for you. My doctors wanted to put me on a statin as I had total cholesterol of 227. I told them I could reduce the cholesterol by diet, alone. (Luckily, I like salmon and avocadoes) Got the total cholesterol down to 161. They STILL wanted me to take a statin. So I did. Awful muscle aches and cramps. Threw that garbage out. So riddle me this - if cholesterol is supposed to be under 200 and I got mine to 161 why a statin? The only thing I could assume is that most of the medical profession has become clinically retarded.
