Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Not all heroes wear capes.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

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

Bark louder, little dog.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

The revolution will be supervised.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Republicans in disarray!

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

“Squeaker” McCarthy

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

Second rate reporter says what?

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

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

    She’s playing Sunday Oct 2 at Hardly, Strictly Bluegrass in SF’s Golden Gate Park….for free and I AM GOING TO SEE DANIELLE PONDER

    she does an most excellent cover of Radiohead’s Creep and it will move you if you have even half a heart.

    My sister called me before the end of the NPR piece in tears – tears which I was also dropping as I stared out the kitchen window, holding my breath until the piece finished.

    Wow.

    Thanks for the intro to her.

    Busy day here. I made a pot of chili and a pumpkin cake, did a power yoga class, got a haircut with olaplex, then went to Costco. Now I am tired….but full of chili and pumpkin cake.

    Trump is having his Save America Rally at the Covelli Centre. There was a guy on screen next to Dump in the audience behind him with the Blacks for Trump 2020. What, they couldn’t have updated them?

    @WereBear: What size ukulele are you getting?  I play a low G tenor and strongly recommend that size as not too high and not too low. I just got a tenor guitar and had it set up to be tuned the same way.

    @Baud: There will be another important legal proceeding next week, in a Tallahassee, Florida federal courtroom: former Hillsborough County Prosecutor Andrew Warren will argue that Florida Governor DeSantis improperly fired him and that he should be reinstated.

    Senior District Judge Hinkle will hear Warren’s case Monday morning at 9am. Warren and DeSantis’ lawyers will get 30 minutes each to argue and answer questions from the judge. They have already submitted written briefs.

    The city of Tampa is in Hillsborough County, and the Tampa Bay Times should have good coverage of the trial. The judge could give his decision Monday, but a Times article said the judge would likely take a couple days to issue a jugement and that an appeal is likely.

    The album is called Some of Us Are Brave. “Only the Lonely” is a song on it, true.

    @phdesmond: Heard that piece. What angers me is that in the sixties state colleges were funded decently by states ($1100 a year, room and board, tuition for me in Maine) and then money dried up. The later generations were forced to make up the difference in tuition. Forgive the loans, for decency’s sake. We are making up for what our governments (state) did not do.

    @Baud: Good. The motion to lift the stay is separate from the appeal of the District Court Order and doesn’t follow the same briefing schedule. That means a decision on the motion to lift the stay could come next week. It should result in lifting the stay. If it does not, we know what we are dealing with in the 11th Circuit.

    @sralloway: see also the difference between, say, Pat Brown’s expansion of the UC system and the still-resonant 1981 (just after Reagan’s election) rejection by voters in a Michigan school system of funding to keep the district’s schools open, forcing them to close halfway through the school year.

    In addition to being the party of deeply insecure violent bigots, Republicans are also the party of stupidly short-sighted greed.

    Great party you all got there, just sayin’…

    Don’t forget Arthea Franklin was a judge on Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.

    Attorneys and courts still quote her seminal opinion:

    For five long years
    I thought you were my man
    But I found out
    I’m just a link in your chain
    Oh, you got me where you want me
    I ain’t nothin’ but your fool
    You treated me mean
    Oh, you treated me cruel

    Chain, chain, chain
    (Chain, chain, chain)
    Chain of fools

    I think it was Obama who said best when he said… (video)

    @Lapassionara: Anyone wanna give odds?  I’ll do … 2-to-1 against lifting the stay, because, I dunno, they combine the proceedings, or deliberate chin-scratching about questions of fact requiring proper hearing, or because True President Donald.

    @Dorothy A. Winsor: Me, too! Hopefully both the Appeals Court and the Special Master think Cannon is the idiot we all know she is, and want to get the ball(s) going quickly.
    Then, off to the SC. Sigh…
