Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

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

Finding joy where we can, and muddling through where we can’t.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

We still have time to mess this up!

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

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

    I am waiting to sing along to NaNaNaNa Hey Hey  Goodbye to Orange Dbag on Jan 20th. I think they should have some massive zoom event done early in the morning to send to him and all his enablers  via Twitter in the afternoon. Kind of like the HS graduation deal they did. Just to see that many people is going to needle him.

    This is another one we can all get behind.

    Also, I had my annual physical today.  I got a flu shot and the first shingles shot.  They say that over have the people who get the shingles shot feel like ass for a couple of days.  It looks like am one of them.  Woohoo!

    ETA: I know I’ve posted this song before but it deserves the attention.  Even my mom likes it.

    Can’t really share them (as they were a live thing), but last night I attended the Virtual gala for Blue Heron Renaissance Choir.  A group that specializes in music of the 15th century and earlier. (they are in the middle of recording the works of Ochegeim) Of course they had to do something a little different than their usual fare, especially since they can’t gather in large groups to take on their 5 -7 part polyphonic repertoire .  So they all got to do solo’s or a few duets.  Their choice: Broadway show tunes.

    It was great fun.

    Just need to share some awful news. The OC sheriffs shot and killed a homeless black guy here; my troubled teen housemate was friends with him, and is devastated. He bought some flowers to take to the spot and was on the ABC news in LA. There were already protesters there and he was resentful of them, because they wouldn’t have had the time of day for the guy when he was alive. This is so awful. I thought I understood this stuff, but it’s different close to home. Please send light or prayers or whatever you have for our boy

    ETA: Sorry to crash a fun music thread, but I needed to get it out.

    @Baudolino: @Bo Curry: Letting us know once, with one user name was sufficient. You have to give one of use with moderator’s rights the time to actually be on the site, notice you’re in moderation, and then free the comment.

    Also, please pick one user name and stick with it.

    @?BillinGlendaleCA:

    Now that you bring up the Beatles, I was surprised to learn that they never liked the whole “mop top” phase and that they were basically burned out as early as 1966 after releasing the Revolver album

    It’d been a while since I’d heard that Lilly Allen song. Very catchy. I found my self singing “fuck you very very mu-u-u-u-uch” as I peeled an orange at the sink just now. :)

    I’m part of a zoom group of guys who meet on Wednesday nights. We’ve been working through a book on white privilege, chapter by chapter. But this week, post-Breonna, we  set the book aside and just checked in. Part of the talk was about arts as a method of self care.
    This Brother Ali song was offered up. (He’s a Minneapolis based hip hop artist, started with Rhymesayers Collective). Enjoy.

    @Goku (Amerikan Baka): They were using stimulants back in their Hamburg days.  Dylan introduced them to pot and, of course, Dr. Robert gave them LSD.  By today’s standards, their tour schedules were brutal.  They toured every year from 1963 to 1966, and these were international tours: US, UK, Europe, eastern Asia, and Australia.  Harrison probably hated the 1966 tour the most since he got married in early 1966 to Pati Boyd.

    The impossibly NSFW “Galactic Mermaid” from the Carole & Tuesday soundtrack sums up my feelings about most of this year, actually.

    Recently stumbled on a new version of an old favorite Cuban song. The one on ytube that I already knew is an impromptu version from the documentary Cuba Feliz. Is that Compay Segundo and a couple other of the Buena Vista Social Club?
    “Lágrimas negras”

    The new one is with Bebo Valdés (father of Chucho) and Diego El Cigale, Pacquito D’Rivera sort of on the down-low:
    “Lágrimas negras”

    I have no idea why these songs might be on my mind.

    “Georgia On My Mind”
    “Friday On My Mind”
    “Gentle On My Mind”
    “Always On My Mind”
    “You Were On My Mind”
    “Carolina In My Mind” (Close enough?)

    Love – You Set the Scene

    Arthur Lee and Love are always good for a pick-me-up, especially “You Set the Scene”.

    1967 had a bumper crop of great albums, but over the years I’ve been leaning more and more to the opinion that Forever Changes is the best of the lot.

    Pogues – Turkish Song of the Damned

    The Pogues are another band that’s always there to make me feel better. “Turkish Song of the Damned” is about the dead returning to drag a man who betrayed them down to hell. This might be considered topical if one were inclined.
