Er…because he’s bone dry?

Aaaaaand here it is, the patent for the Skeleton Confessor!
The men have tiny feet.

Apparently I’m not the first to notice this, but Honda EVs sound like the Bb6 on the vocal opening of Bohemian Rhapsody when they drive by.

@kenwhite.bsky.social Je Suis Le Frog Popehat. I am riding this til I die.

I mean really. How often can you combine Charlie Hebdo, inflatable frog costumes, rage at the Trump attempt to turn the country into a dictatorship and Spartacus in four words?

My favorite sign today.

It’s a long way to go for a joke, but the court will allow it.

I tried to keep an open mind, but Cox reducing the 2024 election to “one party wanted closed borders and the other wanted open borders” brought everything back into focus. His thesis seems to be that we have to accommodate and compromise with demonstrably and intractably racist voices.

Re: THE ABUNDANCE DELUSION in The Atlantic today. Mike Solana takes all his smarmy anti-woke/Peter Thiel/Founders Fund vitriol and spews it on the only people in the country trying to effect the changes he advocates. Luigi Left? Go fuck yourself.

No colon in the second graph. The speaker is allowing no dispute or discussion of his finding; he is not so much explaining his ruling as setting the parameters for a correct reply.

A handful of people who engender interesting exchange are worth a host of followers.

Exchange of ideas over broadcast of views.

Outrage and other attention-grabbing devices may work, but the discussions they engender are ultimately uninteresting.

Facts should be referenced, opinions noted.

I'm groping toward a personal set of ethics governing my online presence. I know I will miss some important things and re-state others, so I will crowdsource better phrasing.

It’s the screen version of The Proud Tower. Best history narrative ever written. Musical score by Stravinsky and Strauss. Can’t wait.

Very small rocks.

My take on Hamlet, and for that matter theater in general, was forever twisted by my parents taking me to see Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead at the Ahmanson in May 1969 (I was 11). Stoppard staged their eventual drowning as pin spots dowsing mid-sentence. Manson murders were July and August.

Is no one going to ask what the bottle was?

Played percussion for the Dead on the ‘72 and ‘73 tours.

Thousands of demonstrators in Ventura.

@kenwhite.bsky.social goddammit I was about to say City of Criminals Hat.

“A big celebration of the country’s armed forces…could familiarize civilians with their armed forces and, in doing so, draw talented young Americans to serve.” —The Atlantic

I just can’t shake the mental image of Brezhnev smiling at T-62s passing in front of Lenin’s portrait.

Immediately stole Manchurian Cantaloupe.
