Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

I really should read my own blog.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

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

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

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

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

We are aware of all internet traditions.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

The revolution will be supervised.

Let there be snark.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Accountability, motherfuckers.

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

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

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

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

    Steve Martin’s Bluegrass Award Faces Uncertain Future

    But the award was somewhat bittersweet since Furtado — the youngest recipient of the prize given out every year since 2010 — may also be the last. The prize is in danger of disappearing.

    Martin said that he and the prize board members are overwhelmed by the sheer number of qualified musicians as bluegrass goes through a flowering.

    “It became very difficult to keep pace, even with all our great board members, of so many great players. In the ’60s, when I was first learning, great players were rare,” said Martin.

    “Now, if you listen to a bluegrass channel, you listen to the banjo player and go, ‘Who’s that?’ And you’ve never even heard of him and they’re playing incredibly sophisticated stuff I couldn’t even pretend to do.”

    Bonus: Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers: NPR Tiny Desk Concert

    I’ll be honest and say that I didn’t know that he played in a group, let alone that well. I’d seen him pick a few times over the years but this was pretty awesome. He’s also still funny as hell.

    Anyone watching Ken Burns’s latest epic? I liked the first two episodes because I knew very little about the origins of country music and the Carters, but I’ve lost interest since then.

    @debbie: watching it. Episode three came on last night, episode four tonight, and that’s it. Just four. I like it from a history perspective, but like so much about American music a large portion of its origin is owed to POC, which this doc basically glosses over. It also shows why this is distinctively white people music. Male and white.

    Nothing like Doc and Merle in the morning. There are not enough pics of Merle floating around. I’m like Ken Burns’ show very much indeed, tho’ there are inevitable gaps, Rhiannon Giddens doing yeoman service to make up for them . Around here, pbs stations ran the American Masters show about Charley Pride as well as the live concert on repeat.
