This clip is good but THAT one is dynamite.

Post the clip of the woman who asks him how much fascism costs.

When I make my fortune I am producing a stage musical of PRESERVATION.

Good night everyone

"You think you're Don Juan, but they Don Juan anything to do with you."

It's Hot Writer Summer, by which mean stay indoors for gods' sakes and get that project done. Have lemonade.

Definitely something I'd like to see more of in academic spaces as well!

rereading the watch series by terry pratchett and damned if it isn’t incredibly current, in a way that frankly kinda hurts

This is a friendly reminder that raw milk is not safe for human consumption despite what wellness influencers will tell you.

For example, 21 people, including 6 under the age of 10, got E. coli or Campylobacter infections after drinking raw milk from the same farm in Florida.

Whether it's Barack Obama wearing a tan suit and asking for Dijon mustard or it's Donald Trump destroying the economy and sending innocent people to torture prisons, both men have done questionable things.

As if normal money isn't enough of an illusion.

Coming soon from NYTimes Opinion:

Why Does Blue America Look Down On White Working Class American Pedophiles?

Hmmm. I'm telling my family lore stories (fictionalized) right this very moment. No AI needed. And it's pretty awesome.

Jeff Daniels Led One of the Biggest War Movies Ever Made & It Was a Racist Disaster War is hell, and so was this racist film that Jeff Daniels wishes he could erase from his memory.

Another normalization of racism that's been going on since cinema began is filming the Confederacy in a romantic light. Birth of a Nation's pro KKK; various western heroes were "lost cause" Rebel vets who never express regret at their racist cause. And the stars should be ashamed to be in this one:

By the way, "far left" means "anybody to the left of the craziest Republican congressperson."

I'm assuming she was under oath and had no choice.

Oh, this weekend we're seeing CABARET at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis.

I wonder what made them decide to revive a play set in the last days of Weimar Germany now, in particular?

Ah, probably just a coincidence.

I love how it's a medley within a medley.

A friend of mine who lives in Austin saw this at a bar and said she had never been so offended by something she 100% agreed with.

MONSTER MONDAY

Found a pic

The cover of the 1971 album by the band Funkadelic, titled Maggot Brain. The album art features the screaming face of a dark-skinned woman, submerged from the neck down in dark, barren soil, representing a distressed “Mother Earth”.

It’s a dreary Monday and I need a break, so I decided to take a little trip.

“…for I knew I had to rise above it all…”

Maggot Brain, Funkadelic (1971)

Right-wingers are so insecure and covetousness that after they gathered public goods, land, economy and education for themselves they wanted the one thing we had: the story of oppression.

They want this more than anything else b/c of the powerful narrative & culture we created from it.

so disappointing how many ppl I see preemptively convincing themselves they can't learn a thing w/o giving it a real effort over time bc they think natural aptitude is the defining factor of skill acquisition. the only diff btwn them & the ppl who can do the thing is that the latter just kept trying

Remember us little people.

Was there ever a tighter-sounding band?
