This reminds me of something Toni Morrison wrote.

He studied folksy witticisms in his time at Oxford, I do believe

SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26

NO - 41%

It's my favorite Shakespeare. Great political allegory among many things

The only metric that actually moves the needle in this godforsaken country so have at it, grumpy sovereign

Start the day teaching King Lear, end it spewing invective in a rainstorm

If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.

Gonna have a big party if Texas goes blue

Remembering Mark E. Smith on his birthday. Here are The Fall performing Big New Prinz live on Tony Wilson's The Other Side of Midnight in 1988

Blatter has joined the revolution, I believe 😆

I am not ok with people calling AI slop peddlers who seek to make ghoulish puppets of the dead ‘necromancers’.

necromancy is a valuable, much-maligned esoteric practice that does NOT, as animist propaganda would have you believe, center on the animation of the remaindered husks of the deceased.

Increasingly convinced that ACA, esp without subsidies, is mostly a scam to give health insurance companies an opening to extract premiums from you

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) speaks in favor of the war powers resolution. Quoting Madison, he reminds us that by lodging the power to initiate war in Congress, the Constitution adopted the wisdom of experience that “the Executive branch of power is the most interested in war and most prone to it.”

Pigs at the trough

Jared and Witkoff probably have some free time, right?

Happy Early March stupor to all who celebrate

It's like if that GOP rural voter phenomenon nationally were an actual majority. Hard pan 53% for corrupt lunatics I always say

Somebody gotta samizdat this
