Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Trump should be leading, not lying.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Everybody saw this coming.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

Republicans in disarray!

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Petty moves from a petty man.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

    Just thought i’d mention – in case no-one’s yet done so – that our very own EDK has a series of massively self-regarding and pompous posts over at his other place. I gave up at the mention of “Tolkien’s Anarcho Monarchism” in the latest one, although the earlier post referencing Oakshotte and Sully approvingly did make me laugh. I’m too tired but it really needs a good parody done…

    Please help me. The hubster has egregiously bad musical taste and his new kick is watching different youtubes of The Archies singing Sugar, Sugar. I kid you not — he is not being ironic. How can I survive this?

    @Svensker:

    I don’t know. That sounds worse than my present obsession with Shirley Temple. If my husband weren’t averse to commenting on the internet, I’d ask him to help you.

    Josh Ritter is terrific live. By himself with just a guitar is great but you should see him with his full band they all look so happy to be rocking out on stage.

    I don’t read his utter tripe here, why would I want to go there and subject myself to it?

    THE

    So for fans of anime and vocaloids,
    who were looking for final proof,
    that Japan is teh awesomest technoculture on Earth.
    Both clips are best at full screen in High Definition:

    Miku & Luka

    Also:
    Rin & Len

    I’ve been watching the clips,
    and I’m thinking now that it’s just rear projection onto a some kind of semi-translucent screen.
    The “glassy” front-screen, seems to be approximately cinemascope ratio,
    which you can easily cover using a HDTV projector with an anamorphic lens.

    THE

    And I could add.
    As is partly explained by the person who posted the clips on YouTube.
    He seems to have seen an actual concert.

    This is just to correct my earlier comment on a previous thread that it may be the Peppers Ghost illusion.
    It’s vaguely related, in that it uses a transparent surface to create the illusion of being located in 3D space.

    Settling in for a day of college football after watching the local high school team dominate their playoff opponent last night. Will definitely be digging out the long johns for the game next Friday.

    Go Gamecocks!!

    I caught that Q interview with Ritter when it was broadcast. Jian’s show is an incredibly awesome collection of great guests, so it’s really worth streaming live (from various time zones) from the CBC site or catching past shows from the show site here.

    But what that video collection on the Q site doesn’t include is a live version of The Curse that actually moved me to tears. I rarely cry over music, so that’s a real achievement. You can catch the official video here. But really pay attention to the lyrics, especially the way things come around in the last verse.

    This is from the Q YouTube channel, which has lots of good stuff.

    Very nice, indeed. While sampling some tech video podcasts, I ran across a review of an iPad app called Aweditorium, which provides an amazing and fun way to check out new artists. The main screen is a huge grid of artist photos. You tap any one and it opens on a larger screen and a song from the artist, with buttons to also opens a smaller window with a YouTube interview or live performance clip, along with other goodies.

    The app is free. I don’t know if it is available for other platforms.
