A few years ago, The Washington Post's slogan was: "If You Don't Get It, You Don't Get It." I'd suggest an update: "If You Don't Get It, Consider Yourself Fortunate."

Not just remixed, these songs are re-imagined. If you're a fan of @robynhitchcock.bsky.social, you must get your hands (claws? tentacles?) on this. The original was awesome. This version is somehow more awesome.

After 38 years with Americans United for Separation of Church and State, I have retired. Thanks to everyone who supported AU and made my work possible. I will stay in the fight as a private citizen!

As soon as I heard the tragic news about Rob and Michele Reiner, I thought, "How long before Combover Caligula says something grotesque?" He did not disappoint. There is no excuse for continuing to support this sh*tstain.

I want to stop shopping Amazon. Unfortunately, @bookshop.org can't seem to ship books promptly. I placed an order Dec. 3, and they haven't shipped yet. I'm being told they'll probably come by Xmas eve. Inexcusable.

I just got back from a trip to London, a city I have not visited since 1990. Pleased to see some of these are still around. Unfortunately, @robynhitchcock.bsky.social was not inside playing "Veins of the Queen."

Nov. 10, 1975: "Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours?"

Wait. So, getting endorsed by two of the most grotesque right-wing dirtbags alive does not lead to electoral success in NYC?

Made a special sign for #nokings yesterday in Silver Spring, Md.

The fact that we can even have government shutdowns is evidence of a failed state. When was the last time Belgium shut down?

Just got a shingles vaccine. It protects me from a painful condition even as it pisses off RFK Jr. A twofer!

Headed into D.C. to talk to some college students. It's so hot that I had to bust out the seersucker.

The price of state Supreme Court justices has gotten so high that even Elon Musk can't afford them.

The best thing to give up for Lent is Catholicism.

Imagine being a billionaire who owns a newspaper. You could challenge and perhaps even topple a corrupt administration -- and instead, you choose to cower.

All a guy like Bezos cares about is money. I, for one, am shocked.
