Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

How stupid are these people?

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Bark louder, little dog.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

So very ready.

This really is a full service blog.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

    “Detachable Penis” would be an awesome name for a female Punk group!

    They could write a song about how a detachable penis would be useful to seperate the penis from the dick it’s attached to.

    Man, why doesn’t my study section ever get grants like this to review! My lighten up the funereal atmosphere.

    Let me try this again, in a more spam-filter friendly way:

    I went to see a production of Julius Casear last night. It used a very modernistic setting, and at the beginning there were a bunch of citizens milling around waiting to hail Caesar. Given the setting, they were carrying a bunch of hand-lettered campaign-rally signs. One of which read, and I quote,

    Veni Vidi Vici Motherfuckers

    Awesome.

    Some 25 years ago my mother sent me a xerox of a page from Nature (not too bad a science rag in its own right) with an article about egg multiplicity found in a particular species of bird. The headline (completely straight-faced):

    Clutch Size in Great T*ts.

    (Not original spelling; I want to avoid moderation.)

    @dmsilev:

    I’d love to see that version. One of my favorite movie treatments of Shakespeare is Ian McKellen’s version of “Richard III.”

    Has anyone else noticed the FB wingnut wurlitzer cranking up about the POTUS not publcily adressing the death of that Mike Kyle, guy?

    Disappointed the President didn’t point out that if we get unemployment down to 5% the deficit problems will self-correct.

    Government investment is at a low point. Increase government investment, unemployment drops and deficit goes down.

    I don’t know why no Democratic politician and no one, other than Krugman, is making this argument.

    @Maude:

    Sorry, I must have missed that. Last I heard, it was “planned” for the second week in February, and then when the site went to hell he joked about it always doing that before a rebuild.

    Isn’t he more concerned now with doing a Houdini escape from his locked safe?

    I mentioned that song on Cole’s earworm thread last week and nobody seemed to remember it.

    Tragic backstory: the guy who founded King Missile, whose name escapes me, resorted to law school when the band failed. : (

    Shakespeare Uncovered on PBS is terrific, not only for the recent productions/interpretations, but also for the archival footage of plays captured on silent moovees and early teevee shows.

    OTish, Diane Rhiem show keeps missing the target with Byron York and Ruth Marcus, and Norm Ornstein relegated to the Krugman role of quiet exasperation.

    @dmsilev:

    I plan to see the film, “Caesar Must Die,” later this week, but thought I’d alert you (and others here) to it now.

    Released in 2012, this Italian film, shot entirely in the maximum security wing of Rome’s Rebibbia prison, presents inmates rehearsing a production of Julius Caesar.

    I seem to recall that you live in the Chicago area and I’d expect that an independent movie-house there could be screening it soon.

    (link includes the film’s trailer)

    ETA: This blog is beginning to get overrun by Shakespeare aficionados. Might be bad for its reputation.
