Happy birthday to Lyle Lovett, born on this day in 1957. The Grammy-winning country singer-songwriter and actor has earned four Grammys, including Best Country Album, and remains one of music’s most distinctive voices.

Then why aren’t they stepping up and doing something about it?

Yup. The Telecommunications Act of 96 is the true villain here.

Anyone else having Never Ending Story flashbacks?

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem

If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

You’re doing their dirty work.

Game 7 here we come.

Biden Derangement Syndrome

Halloween nightcap. Go Jays.

Fucking Gestapo thugs

A year? A few more months, tops.

Big time

I feel like broken record but . . . “Can you imagine if Obama or Biden . . . ?”

Just watched it for the first time last night. It’s obviously very much of its time. It comes off as almost like a Three Stooges short at times. And yes, it almost feels disjointed at times because, like you said, lots of narrative is missing. Scenes just . . . kind of end. Lots of logic gaps too.

Wait. Stone is against a Trump 3rd term? I’m so confused.

This song is, and always has been, a flat out JAM! Must be played at full volume!

You just summed up the entire regime.

Sigh. Your writing is at once so beautiful and yet so bleak. (As always.) 🙂

We need this guy now more than ever.

He’s auditioning for his job at Fox after he loses the election.

Because they’re complicit.

They lie about EVERYTHING

A guy that believes he can do whatever he wants ain’t leaving voluntarily in 3 years.

Jeffries: "Do what leaders do as opposed to being missing in actio for 28 days while finding $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina & destroying the historic parts of the WH so he can construct a ballroom where he'll be celebrated like a wannabe king. It's all outrageous stuff."

What if people hadn’t ignored the thousands of reason not to elect him again in the first place?!

Biden Derangement Syndrome

Ohtani is otherworldly
