Comment on What Millennials Love About Pittsburgh

I asked my friend Joe Daly to pick a band we should feature in the LNMC, and he chose Rival Sons. I didn't know much about them, but after listening to their music, I understand why this was his pick. Daly wrote a brilliant article in 2023 for Classic Rock magazine Loudersound that discusses them in depth. After six albums in 15 years and touring alongside a raft of A-listers, new album Darkfighter finds Rival Sons ready to take it to the next level. -- While diehard fans of any band tend to be resistant to change, it’s hard to imagine Rival Sons fans not being exhilarated by Darkfighter. -- Darkfighter might just be Rival Sons’ masterpiece.

The anti-war encampment on Denver’s Auraria Campus is now empty after pro-Palestine protests first began 23 days ago.

The Auraria Campus announced the dispersal of the Tivoli Quad encampment on Saturday near 1 p.m., citing that cleanup starts today.

Rubin and Elie Mystal discussed the shocking revelation that Supreme Court Justice flew a reversed “Stop the Steal” flag on his front lawn as the court was considering a 2020 election case. The revelation came not long after we learned that Justice Clarence Thomas gives the distinct appearance of having broken the law by dodging taxes on a forgiven RV loan. It's long overdue for Democrats to stop wringing their hands and start doing something about it. Mystal noted that it was already obvious from Alito’s and Thomas’ written opinions and comments at oral arguments that they support the insurrection and are doing everything they can to help Trump evade prosecution and accountability for his crimes.

PHILADELPHIA — A half-dozen University of Pennsylvania students were among 19 pro-Palestinian protesters arrested during an attempt to occupy a school building, university police said Saturday. Their arrests came a week after authorities broke up a protest encampment on campus and arrested nine students — and as other colleges across the country, anxious to prepare for commencement season, have either negotiated agreements with students or called in police to dismantle protest camps. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Members of Penn Students Against the Occupation of Palestine announced the action Friday at the school’s Fisher-Bennett Hall, urging supporters to bring “flags, pots, pans, noise-makers, megaphones” and other items, the University of Pennsylvania Division of Public Safety said in a news release. Officers could be seen closing in “within the hour,” The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
