RFK Jr renames HHS to AHA (Administration for Healthy America)
This video drips with eugenicist language. Clean water, safe food & a healthy environment (read “wellness camps”) won’t cure chronic illness
There’s nothing wrong with those things, but to insinuate they will “fix” the chronic disease epidemic is ableist and dangerous.
He goes on to say the real overhaul will be even bigger & improve the health of the entire nation.
Will they disappear the disabled?

Take on me
Take me home
I'll be gone
In a day or twoooooooo
Yea, A-ha's Take On Me was my mental wake up song today. https://song.link/us/i/392429593
Update. "Joint Statement on Federal Censorship of American History"
https://www.historians.org/news/aha-oah-joint-statement-on-federal-censorship-of-american-history/
"The American Historical Association (#AHA) and the Organization of American Historians (#OAH) condemn recent efforts to censor historical content on federal government websites, at many public museums, and across a wide swath of government resources…Policies that purge words, phrases, and content that some officials deem suspect on ideological grounds constitute a systemic campaign to distort, manipulate, and erase significant parts of the historical record. Recent directives insidiously prioritize narrow ideology over historical research, historical accuracy, and the actual experiences of Americans.
As the institution chartered by the US Congress for “the promotion of historical studies” and “in the interest of American history, and of history in America,” the American Historical Association must speak out when the nation’s leadership wreaks havoc with that history. So, too, must the OAH, as the organization committed to promoting “excellence in the scholarship, teaching, and presentation of American history.” It is bad enough to forget the past; it is even worse to intentionally deny the public access to what we remember, have documented, and have expended public resources to disseminate."
"To date, 11 organizations have signed on to the statement."
"Manhattan skyline" - A-ha
The Hanson of their era.
Think they were dim teenybopper fluff? Think again! Gentle verses, lulling us into a false sense of security as Morten sings "wave goodbye... wave goodbye", then we're jerked awake again by a rock-tastic and loud chorus.
It's about leaving everything you love behind, in hope of a better life.
The song's a cut-and-shut job: Mags wrote the soft verses, Pål wigs out on the chorus.

"The sun always shines on tv" - A-ha
Number one for the second and final week, so we're treated to the video. Morton Harket is in a church, there's a wall of faces, and the whole thing is very weird.
A-ha make great pop songs, and there's something more to their art.
This week's Retro Release Review takes a look back at a-ha's 1985 album, Hunting High and Low.

The student protesters made this happen: "American Historical Association members attending the group’s annual conference voted 428 to 88 Sunday to approve a resolution opposing “scholasticide” in Gaza and the U.S. government’s funding of Israel’s war"

"The #AmericanHistoricalAssociation, the oldest learned society in the United States, has adopted the 'Resolution to Oppose #Scholasticide in #Gaza,' condemning #Israel’s 'intentional effort to comprehensively destroy the Palestinian education system.' We speak to Sherene Seikaly and Barbara Weinstein, two scholars who supported the resolution and helped push for the groundbreaking vote."
