Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Motown is Joe-Town!

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

American History and Black History can not be separated.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself. We’re allowed to grow past that.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

If marriage is the equivalent of selling yourself into slavery, women with self respect should reject the offer.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

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

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

FFS people, this was a good thing. take the win.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

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

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

And this morning on #amTWiB, the #MorningCrew discussed the tidal wave of trolls after Zerlina Maxwell, dragging a woman off the train is not the way to handle singing about Jesus, and it’s proven: L.Joy can not control her jukeboxing.

    Likewise, I am unable to control my beatboxing.

    Wow. Got this one all to meself. It’s a non-NFL Monday night and all but looks like people may not care for these TWIB recap redirect threads after all.

    I think it’s that we’re accustomed to wandering by Balloon Juice and reading a few paragraphs, then adding a bit to the conversation before going about our business.

    I’ve enjoyed listening what I have of TWIB… but the segments are a bit long to listen to all the way through. No offense meant to Elon James White.

    I swing by later here when I have time, I don’t think this is their primary locale for worshipping dolphins. They’re free to yell at me for bookmarking laziness.

    I agree, from what I listened of it. But, just like listening to NPR Weekend re-runs of live weekly shows, (Kojo Nnamdi, Dian Rhem, whatever it is – I live in DC, so those are what WAMU tends to re-run) it’s not the same at 8:00 after eating dinner as it is during the day, live.

    I’m not exactly defending my position, just rationalizing it. I encourage the TWIB segments to continue, even if I and people like me don’t listen all the way through.

    Question for Elon:

    I use services that meter usage. It is more beneficial for me to use Stitcher for a long media stream.

    But your Stitcher feed is not up to date. Can you get the episodes to drop on Stitcher when you post them here?

    I prefer to read rather than listen or watch, but a couple of thoughts re race and education.

    One: no link, but several studies have shown that educational disparities are largely a product of cultural prejudices that people often internalize. Basic affirmation exercises have been enough to reduce or eliminate classroom racial disparities as well as gender disparities in fields where women are expected not to do well.

    Two: what I said a while ago. Very useful to know that disparities can go way down when you teach a bit higher on the Bloom scale.

    @Keith G: Xfinity or Comcast or whomever is throttling the absolute fuck out of my home usage.
    It’s really getting tiresome.
