This year we lost some truly great and beloved performers, most recently Dolly Parton and Tim Curry. Tonight let's share our favorite works and stories. Here are some starters from the FNDP team:
Dolly Parton: Nine to Five (1980)
āIt costs a lot of money to look this cheap.ā
Tim Curry: "I'm going home" from Rocky Horror (1975)
"It's not easy having a good time... even smiling makes my face ache."
Sly Dunbar: Right Time
"When that tune first come out, because of that double tap on the rim nobody believe it was me on the drums, they thought it was some sort of sound effect we was using."
Rob Hirst (Midnight Oil): Beds Are Burning
Bonnie Tyler: It's A Heartache
Bob Weir (original Grateful Dead): Weather Report Suite
Winter rain, now tell me why
Summers fade, and roses die
This post was a FNDP team effort, especially by u/splodgenessabounds, u/Xeenophile, and u/SusanJ2019.

https://responsiblestatecraft.org/israel-surveillance-tech/
Since 2023, local and state police departments across the country have purchased technology for real-time monitoring of smart devices from the Israeli firm Cognyte Solutions LP.
Israel is a hub of spy technology, with more surveillance companies per capita than anywhere else in the world. This phenomenon is largely due to the elite Israeli Military Unit 8200, a signals intelligence unit that serves as a pipeline to private industry, with a reported 80% of founders in the domestic homeland security industry having served in the unit.
The offending technologies in all of these cases, CSSs (Cell-Site Simulators), are radio frequency transmitters that retransmit a signal from an existing cell tower, amplify it, and dampen any background signals. This tricks a phoneās innate connection algorithm into connecting with a CSS, allowing access to all unencrypted calls and messages. This means a CSS operator can then peek at the usage of all connected devices in real time, regardless of the devices' intended target. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a leading anti-surveillance legal and advocacy group, has found that the software is used in over 80 U.S. police departments nationwide. According to the group, it has played a role in a wide array of covert, warrantless searches.
Worse, these simulators continue to advance. In recent years, we have learned these devices now operate on 5G and Wi-Fi bands, meaning app usage and internet searches can also be monitored. They can also be installed in false ceilings in police cruisers, which can be activated like a built-in GPS, or even specially made backpacks, both of which Cognyte sells. This makes them highly portable, easily deployable, and extremely difficult to track.

What the morons in Trump admin do not understand is that every time they do this, the hand of the IRGC gets strengthened while the more neutral ("negotiating") party get diminished. And when the IRGC gets their "hands freed," you can expect most of the US Navy to be at the bottom of the Sea of Oman in no time.

The idea that Zionism is a core feature of Jewish identity is nonsense. Many Jews resoundingly reject Zionism. Anti-Zionism is not, by any definition, a form of antisemitism. Regardless of the WJCās groundless assertions.
Illustrating the absurdity of maintaining that Zionism and Jewish identity are synonymous, the WJC openly concedes that Zionismās primary objective was defined at the First Zionist Congress, or Basel Congress, in 1869. That objective is:
To secure for the Jewish people a publicly recognized, legally assured homeland in Palestine.
The creation and expansion of a Jewish nation state āin Palestineā is an overtly ethno-nationalist political ambition.
Underlining the separation between the Zionist state project, Judaism, and the Jewish people, the International Holocaust Remembrance Allianceās (IHRAās) working definition of antisemitism clearly determines that āholding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israelā is antisemitic. Reciprocally, therefore, claiming that the state of Israel embodies the will of Jews is equally antisemitic, according to the IHRA definition.
There are, of course, antisemitic anti-Zionists, but anti-Zionism is not antisemitic. Opposition to the political ideology of Zionism and revulsion at the horrors inflicted by the Israeli state and its international partners in pursuit of the political ideology of Zionism is not to blame all Jews.
From a rational perspective, genocide is obviously incomprehensible. To perpetrate a genocide, even if ordered, requires a deeply unfathomable, heinous malevolence. Burning children alive in their beds, blowing infantsā brains out, sniping pregnant women (and their unborn children), beating the elderly to death with rifle butts, and using anal rape as part of your torture regimenāthen writing songs about your exploits and celebrating your depravity as if it were a virtueāare not the actions of morally defensible human beings: Jewish or otherwise.

A daughter drove HUNDREDS of miles to check on her sick 75-year-old father... only to find the locks changed and a Ring camera on his door.
When she climbed through a window to reach her own dad, SHE got arrested for trespassing.
Then she was told, THROUGH THE DOORBELL, that he was no longer alive and that the NURSE who "took care of him" actually now OWNED HER DAD'S HOUSE.
This happened in Conway, South Carolina, and it will make your blood boil.
Her name is Nora Rowland.
Her dad was Robert Rowland, 75 years old and a vulnerable man living with Parkinson's and a brain injury.
Nora and her father were incredibly close. A "daddy's girl," she said. They FaceTimed every single week.
Then, in early 2024, a nurse named Sarah Smalls started caring for Robert through a home care company.
And that's when Nora says her dad started to disappear.
The weekly calls slowed. Then stopped. Something was wrong.
So on Father's Day, when she didn't hear from him, she got in her car and drove from Baltimore all the way to South Carolina to check on the man she loved.
When she got there, his front door had been replaced. A Ring camera was watching her. She couldn't get into her own father's home.
So she climbed through a window. And police arrested her and her partner for TRESPASSING... at her own dad's house.
And then, over that Ring doorbell, she was told her father had died.
Nora says that in the weeks before her father died, that nurse had the DEED to his house signed over to herself.
...and the family wasn't told until he was already gone.
To be clear... man with Parkinson's and a BRAIN INJURY, who was classified as a vulnerable adult was allowed to SIGN HIS HOME AWAY.
In Nora's own words: "He would never think that someone could do this to him. I really can't emphasize enough how many other people could easily get taken advantage of like this."
Her trespassing charges were dismissed, so now she's fighting in court to get her father's house back.
The nurse refused to comment. The care company claimed they knew nothing, but Nora says she has subpoenaed documents proving otherwise.
Police are still investigating.
