Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Republicans don’t trust women.

No Justins, No Peace

    It’s been a good week. For some reason when things get like this I must bring myself back to Earth with some Tom Waits

    There is something wrong with me, I understand this

    @Arm The Homeless: the easy star all stars version of radiohead’s OK computer is great. with Toots!

    My buddies have a new video out. They’ve opened for MC Frontalot and are trying to get Weird Al to let them open for him in Mpls.

    Kung Fu Karate if you are interested.

    I’m liking the new Lost in the Trees album. And “Floratone II.” Bill Frisell is unreal.

    @burnspbesq: THIS. Guess what every kid who reports sex abuse by a popular figure will be hearing about? This will be a popular right wing trope to dismiss charges of child abuse against someone in their tribe.

    @burnspbesq:

    of course the case against fine is pretty hideous already. all the moreso, when you consider that espn is probably the reason the statute of limitations ran out.

    Welcome to the Jesse Winchester Fan Club. He’s been around since the early 70s, and has written a number of great songs, including “Defying Gravity” (covered by Jimmy Buffett and Emmylou Harris) and “Mississippi You’re on My Mind.”
