Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

All hail the time of the bunny!

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

This fight is for everything.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

    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.

    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.
