Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

The words do not have to be perfect.

White supremacy is terrorism.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Fear and negativity are contagious, but so is courage!

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

    The character’s name was Sarah Connor. So, I think a lot of people who read twitter have too much time on their hands.

    Edit: and Twitter is having hard enough time of it as it is of late. Now the readers decide to help out. Who will think these people will be able to understand any ads? Or have money to buy stuff?

    So what’s on tap on TCM for the 4th? The usual, expected stuff. But one lesser known film in the mix is The Devil’s Disciple. Story from George Bernard Shaw’s play of the same name taking place during the Revolutionary War, airs at 1:30 p.m (Eastern). July 4.

    Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, Laurence Olivier, and more. There’s a fight scene very late in the movie during which Lancaster gets to strut his athletic prowess as well as showcase his sly comedic side.

    @DocSardonic: I am right with you. People often confused. I will dance around my house listening to Chopin and then Rush comes up next.

    @Tommy: @Little Boots: They remind me of fingernails on a chalkboard. A bunch of the guys in my dorm in grad school were fans(they were undergrads), I was thankful I had headphones and could drown out that crap with the Beatles.

    ETA: Beatles, Supertramp, the Police, the Kinks…

    @BillinGlendaleCA: As a kid I didn’t have a TV in my house. We didn’t listen to music. I recall going over to the person that lived next to me. He took me to his brother’s room and put Rush on the record player. Maybe the first record I’d heard. A whole world opened up for me.

    Oh and the bands you mentioned. Beatles, Supertramp, the Police, the Kinks. All in with those.

    @BillinGlendaleCA: I lied a little bit. There was a recording device in my house. An eight track player. This baby sitter was not so good at her job so I’d steal into and listen on his headphones. I was never supposed to go into my father’s study. He had three 8 tracks. Jim Corce. John Denver. And the “man in black,” Johnny Cash.

    I told my dad about this and he said he knew. We exchange a lot of Cash stuff.

    @Tommy:

    John Cash was a very multi-talented man. Very gifted musician with a voice that couldn’t do some of the things he wanted it to do until later in his career. But he kept working with other great musicians, who wouldn’t have been interested in working with a no-talent famous guy, and did lots of frabjous good work that we still listen too often.

    We cheer when we hear him on the late night NPR music shows! WV Public Radio has great music, eclectic and interesting, big fun late at night. And since I’m up late a lot, I listen to that a lot.
