Hicks is probably the most overrated comic of his generation. Interesting to wonder if heโ€™d have mellowed and actually gotten wiser with age, but I suspect your instinct is correct.

The first few seasons of that show were brilliant. It deserves to be wider known.

No, heโ€™s just lying about it, knowing there will be no consequences.

These โ€œwonโ€™t someone PLEEEASE think of the children?!โ€ pols always have skeletons in their closet and they are ALWAYS Republican. Itโ€™s long past time for the left/Democrats to point that out, directly and often.

Good news as far as the oligarchs are concerned... high unemployment gives the managers/owners more leverage and keeps wages lower.

Itโ€™s not about winning over MAGA, itโ€™s about turning out our own fucking voters. I donโ€™t know if it really is a โ€œbrandingโ€ issue or weโ€™re just doomed to have the most feckless supporters, but *something* needs to change

Republicans have hated the NEA forever ... if they can't abolish it, they'll turn it into an instrument of white male supremacy:

In ways large and small, the administration is trying to erase women, POC and LGBTQ people.

I honestly donโ€™t think Trump cares. His main goal was to keep out of prison and heโ€™s done that. As long as he can play golf and act like a big shot heโ€™s fine with whatever.

Iโ€™ve heard this view and never got it โ€ฆ Earn Enough for Us, Another Satellite, Man Who Sailed are all classic XTC, and Colinโ€™s album-ending pair is stellar.

Seriously, fuck this guy and fuck the people who voted for him. Even the ones I know and/or am related to.

I was just settling in on Threads and now apparently we're all over here? Whatever, just glad to be among the sane and rational. We are all sane and rational, yes?
