YouTube video by James Hargreaves Guitar The oldest surviving song in English is not what I expected

Never visit Australia. Their vocabulary is consistently more colorful. I see it as more about what is culturally acceptable.

The oldest complete English song (both lyrics and music) includes a reference to farting goats.

John Oliver's wine sold out in less than 24 hours! Missed my chance!

As someone who lived through the '70's, I'd say both the ties and lapels need to be wider. 😺 Yeah, I know. Very hard to find anything quite like it these days.

Oui!

So a rule that was designed to prevent price-gouging of SNAP customers is now being used by the Trump regime to BLOCK discounts to SNAP customers who don't have their money this month. That's so on-brand for Trump and the GOP.

Definitely intentional.

Accidentally or intentionally?

Sadly accurate.

Clifford Clinton - 1937

With SNAP benefits going to shit because of rich assholes and corruption running rampant through politics I'd like to point your attention to a Clinton.

No, not one of those Clintons. This Clinton. Clifford Clinton.

Lincoln grew up in modest conditions. I'm sure he would be appalled.

If Trump had to choose a Holy Grail, he'd pick the most grandiose one, and we know what happens next.

Scary Halloween.

In MAGA-world, you must hate the same people, and do it at the same time. Fall out of lock-step with either hate or the timing of hate, and you become an instant MAGA outcast.

Trump saying, "I don't want to brag, but I just completed a jig-saw puzzle in just one week! And the box said, 'Two to four years....'"

An oldie but goodie. Truer now than when it first appeared.

👎👎👎👎👎

Given that a war on Venezuela will be asymmetric, I have to wonder what Venezuela's response will be. Could cheap drones be flown into attacking aircraft engines with intent to disable? How about drones smuggled into the US to attack Trump properties?

By the time conservatives viscerally understand why you really shouldn't drown our government in the bathtub, it will be too late.

Same for environmental abuse.

Trump's White House plans.

All while claiming, "It's the Democrats' fault!"

Walter Cronkite: "And that's the way it is..."

CBS today: "And fake's the way it is..."

Works for me!

Problem is, only the Speaker or the President can convene a House session. Trump won't do it because it gives him dictatorial power. Mikey won't do it because he's a toady.

One final option: if the Speaker is incapacitated, the Clerk of the House can convene a session to select a new Speaker.

Looks like a picture from the Karni Mata temple, where they actually worship rats.

Reminds me of this:

Magic lamp holder: "For my first wish, I wish the world had enough food to feed everyone!"

Genie: "Done!"

...And nothing changed.

Medicare has had much lower overhead than private insurance precisely because they don't have a bullshit system in place to deny care. Instead, they pay first and audit suspicious claims later. This is proven to be far more efficient in spite of fraud.

AI will add $$$ overhead with ZERO benefit.

I have a very bad feeling about this...
