Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

The revolution will be supervised.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Second rate reporter says what?

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

Their freedom requires your slavery.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

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

A Senator Walker would be an insult to the state and the nation.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

    Love that Guantanamera song so much that I wish I spoke Spanish.  Just a lush, beautiful song. I remember playing it over and over when I first discovered it on Youtube.

    Hanging out, playing video games – and enjoying my evening. Hope the rest of you also are enjoying yourselves. :) I think I’m going to watch a movie and have some chicken wings!

    Phone call from someone in our old gaming group. They’re going to try RPGing via teleconference.

    Old behind the times moi, having no headphones with the right jack, no microphone with the right jack and no camera at a more than distinct disadvantage. Told ’em to e-mail me the particulars and I might listen in.

    Knowing this group I foresee it descending into an every person for him/herself free for all as opposed to a more organized party of questers as the evening progresses and the libations flow.

    here’s a video interlude, if you’re wondering why twitter is buzzing about “Judge” Jeanine

    Jeet Heer @ HeerJeet
    Has anyone noticed that a number of Trump’s most passionate fans (“Judge” Jeanine, Giuliani, Kudlow) often appear to be drunk as a skunk when they defend him on TV?

    Good tunes! Love the Russian rap!

    I had the Driveby Truckers on youtube earlier and it came up with new-to-me Chip Taylor and the New Ukrainians as I was reading something about Jarvanka. Thank you, Youtube AI! I am now a fan.

    My self-taught music student self just sat down to study the harmonic minor and melodic minor scales. As it turned out, they were easier than I’d anticipated, which for some reason I found vaguely disappointing.

    @HumboldtBlue:  I was trying to figure out why I could only understand about a fourth of what they were saying! My brain thought it was some strangely twisted Italian.

    @Amir Khalid: Great! Now do the modal scales. And if you REALLY want a challenge…go for Schönberg 12 tone. Just don’t try to send me your therapy bill.

    @NotMax:

    The former. I don’t think it would be possible at this stage, or in the current political climate, to screw with Najib’s trial. Besides, Muhyiddin used to be Najib’s deputy PM — until he said in public that the 2.6 billion ringgit that turned up uninvited in Najib’s bank account should be investigated. Najib fired him for that. So when it comes to helping Najib out of this jam, Muhyiddin will be motivated to do precisely fuck-all.

    My friends who both have the fucking virus (they are boyfriends but not cohabitating) posted an Instagram story today where they were cuddling. They’d added the “Stay Home” badge to it and um, bitch one of you is not at home. So irresponsible.

    ETA: one of them traveled between Hell’s Kitchen and Long Island City and I assume took the E. Not just a stroll next door.

    @NotMax:

    Muhyiddin is not in Umno anymore. He joined Dr Mahathir’s new party, PPBM, and when Dr Mahathir quit a few weeks ago the King appointed him as the new PM.

    An hour of a completely sloshed chick that is totally not understandable?

    Why would you want to stop faux news from wasting 1/24 of their daily programing? Hell I’d ask for more! 24 hrs of drunk Jeanine. Far better than their regular programing.

    Since this is a music and respite thread, I’ll repeat this from downstairs:

    Richard Thompson is doing a show on Facebook Live on Sunday 2020-03-29 at 9 PM GMT (which I BELIEVE will be 4 PM EDT, 1 PM PDT). It’s a good reason to look forward to tomorrow (or later today).

    Hard day, short time, just reading, no time to post, open thread, so,

    Great, this am, Death March to train, guy with 4 large boxes, saw the shipping labels. Orange, large, nitrile gloves. 100 per box, 12 boxes per carton. Taquerias San Salvadore. Said hi. He ordered them for staff, before,………despite take out and delivery, lots of excess. So he started his Saturday, dropping off 2400 at Surrey General, then riding transit to drop the same amount at VGH and Saint Pauls.

    Saint.

    Then some peace,

    The world keeps spinning,

    Apparently the natural world likes the economic slow down. Saw a pod of four Orca whales in Indian Arm yesterday. First time in my 59 years I have seen whales this far up the Arm. #northvan pic.twitter.com/WYoi6RrJcT— Jim Hanson (@jimhanson_NV) March 28, 2020

    That Dylan song brings to mind American Pie with November 22, 1963, being the day the [something] died and the verses filled with song and historical references.

    @Amir Khalid: Relevant, yes. But overwhelmingly appropriate (especially that concert, which was all about the fight for civil and other rights) can be disheartening.

    Pete has taught me that anger is better than despair, and a far better motivator for action.

    So Hobby Lobby waits til yesterday to close, continually exposing employees and others because “it’s in the hands of god.” Today, they fire people by email. No severance. No insurance. Apparently, God doesn’t want the Greens to use their billions to help their laborers. Grace— Cory Williams (@WilliamsforOK) March 27, 2020

    This is one of those things where you’d really like to see it written about the way it would be if it were happening elsewhere—“Ahead of elections, the regime is channeling aid and medical supplies to loyalists and withholding it from regions controlled by the opposition,” etc https://t.co/w7D820jVzz— Tim Marchman (@timmarchman) March 29, 2020

    Interesting week to be watching the Ring Cycle, via Wagner week on the Metropolitan Opera’s free streaming for the shutdown. People, and Gods, bringing disaster on themselves and the world because they can’t help being who they are

    But basically, the Ring Cycle is the Rogue One to Norse Mythology’s Star Wars. Hard not to think that whatever Odin and the gods are doing is more interesting than this fuckboy Siegfried. I’m going to have to go back and read more about Wagner and his influence. I always skipped when readings talked about him because he seemed such a large lump to digest and the commentary and criticism never really inspired me to look more closely. I know the Nazis idolized him, but Siegfried as a hero shows why it fell apart for them.

    I tried to watch it when it was on PBS a decade ago, but barely made it an hour into Rheingold. I think some of the mistake was treating it like a movie that could be spoiled. This time I jumped onto Wikipedia before each act so I wasn’t wondering who these people are.
