Weird Al Swearengen

It might be true.

Also, they were a throuple.

This basically could be an episode of Beyond Yacht Rock. It’s the sort of name they’d pick for the genre and everything.

I think they originally have been fried in oil. I know that I noticed a decline in taste right around the time I noticed the packaging touting that they were baked.

Is it because they’re baked now?

Judas, because AIs are your faithful friends, and Thomas, because they express no doubt.

Reach out, text faith
Your own virtual Jesus
Something to preach the Word
Sounding assured

I saw a giant koi today that was far too big for its tank, and over and over, it kept rushing back and forth, slamming its head against the glass and then turning around and doing it again, and I logged in here to tell you about it on an app that gives me the same feeling.

Who Goes Nazi?, by Dorothy Thompson

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

I particularly love that the professor was at the head of the pack, stalking him like a tigress.

Wow, the University of Washington's Psych 201 class does *not* play

go fuckin Huskies

Nazi UW students fuck off

I’m torn. I hate Wahlberg and *really* hated his casting as Spenser. But he works as Parker in theory, and I like Shane Black. A friend of mine who’s also a Parker fan is watching and loved it until 35 minutes in, when he says it turns into Uncharted.

Hey, were you talking about Play Dirty here?

If they’d done an all-covers album with the same approach as the Party album, I think 15 Big Ones would be a lot more charming.

Obviously this is compulsory listening, but prior to this episode I just thought of Jimmy Page as 'the guy who steals tunes from black blues artists'. In fact he's 'the guy who steals from blues, management, ex-bandmates, CURRENT bandmates, sound engineers, folkies and his singer'.

I meant the far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology characterized by militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, a fixation on both external and internal enemies, and a cult of personality built around a dictatorial leader.

I had a Proustian flashback to the kind of things my dad used to whip up.

I’m glad we agree that it’s important to publicly call out incipient fascism as it happens.

It’s the most “divorced dad feeding the kids on his weekend” of all the pizza styles.

I’m not celebrating his death. I’m pointing out that the far right opportunistically used him as a Horst Wessel-like figure. I was wrong about them dropping this strategy when the facts didn’t support their narrative, but Trump sure seemed to move on quickly in this moment.

I was just taking the other side of the debate!

There was a big boom in country pop music after the movies Urban Cowboy and 9 to 5 came out in 1980, so the timeline tracks there.

You’re going to be mad when it’s “The Universal Coward.”

Maybe they’ll start their own army.

“You're all worthless and weak! Now drop and give me twenty!”

Hey, whatever happened to that guy, anyway?

It can’t be hard to turn a blind eye when there’s nothing at all behind those eyes.

Whitney Cummings’ tweet: “Comedians did not sign up to be your hero. It's our job to be irreverent and dangerous, to question authority and take you through a spooky mental haunted house so you can arrive at your own conclusions. Stay focused on the people we pay taxes to to be moral leaders.”

There’s no spooky mental haunted house like the basement of a consulate, Whitney.

These sellout comedians have the chance to win back our respect by putting on the show people are dying to see: the Comedy Central Roast of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud.

When the flavor in Flavortown is mayonnaise.
