SNL treated all D’s as jokes in the 88 primary, but gave similar credit to Jackson’s message and oratory:
“We have guided missiles, but misguided policies…Economically, we must stop the process of merging, purging and submerging – merging corporations, purging work[er]s, submerging our economy”

Was hoping for this

Just learned today about San Marino, the world’s fifth smallest country and the ”other” microstate inside Italy. A former pro cyclist was arrested in Naples for carrying thousands of counterfeit Euros while keeping a low profile driving his Porsche Macan with San Marino plates around town.

MacKenzie Scott could, motivated by nothing but spite, create and finance a new (and functional!) version of the Post. Of course that outcome would leave unaddressed the core problems with wealth and media that you've outlined.

It’s “Ni shagu nazad!” as ethos and policy. Good enough for Stalin, good enough for Bari.

His book is just pure rot on both history (h/t@michaelhobbes.bsky.social) and the present. The screaming red flag for the latter was his book’s discussion of “intelligent design“ as if it was a real thing and not warmed over creationism.

Depends? We wouldn’t want any leaks now, would we? The stink of it all is harder to contain though.

Bob, I hope it was all worth it for your wife's prestigious spot on the Kennedy Center's board of trustees... oh wait. I think she's going to have some extra time on her hands. ETTD.

On his way back from the Melania premiere, maybe Kraft can find the time to give this goon a new Patriots hat. And a remaindered Aaron Hernandez jersey.

Boston ride for Alex Pretti

The IDW crew certainly struck a chord.

Now bring on the retaliatory leaks on Homan and Noem.

I am just gutted. I’m blown away by the bravery, the grace, and the spirit he maintained through it all.

And he’s a straight up crook! Every sentence with his name in it should also include the word “bribe!”

Winners... like North Vietnam.

This is Sha Na Na erasure

I realize that this is the LA Times I'm talking to, but if you want evidence that Xitter's algorithm stifles content it doesn't want to promote, a 3 day old video of law enforcement using unwarranted deadly force, shared by a local news anchor and linked by LAT... has barely 3K views

Tapper’s performance here is more worthy of a participation trophy than a W. Actual moral authority would have come from making these comments the day of the pardons and every day after.

The books’ exploration of morality and references to classic films and literature are also genuinely delightful.

For me, it will be hard to top her plan to stop school shootings by training kids to organize into human wave attacks at the shooter.

EPIC douchebaggery. “Object to form. Lacks foundation.” Repeat 1000x.

If you want to be an attack dog asshole every time you open your mouth, I sort of get i, as the role sometimes goes with the job description. But holy hell the level of screeching indignation if he got a sliver of shade back.

It’s literally the first way you define yourself. The last way you define yourself is a troll. Your posts certainly support both labels.

Wow! The grace with which he handled a professional and social interaction with Miller; it's a challenge to think of how to handle oneself in that scenario.

The author of that NYT piece, Michael Finkel, has somehow lived an even more serendipitous life:

I saw them play at Carnegie Hall in 2001. For the full Spinal Tap experience, my friend got us obstructed view seats.

Sorry, Helen, I think you’re incorrect. I believe that’s the real thing, not AI.

Pinnacle perpetrators

The vibe around all this was unmistakable. For months, Trump just rolled around in shit and flung it everywhere, and for months, the MSM hosed him off with the Sanewasher. When Hinchliffe's "garbage" comments finally seemed to break through, it was all hands on deck to Both Sides the story.

“In the Marines! Outstanding!!!”

Hartman prepares the recruits for death by claiming that as a part of an immortal Corps, the individual Marines are themselves immortal. The way Joker later adopts Hartman’s tic saying “outstanding” keeps Hartman’s spirit alive.
