If you're a voter abroad or know one, it's time to start thinking about voting in November.

ESPECIALLY if you're in PA, VA, NJ, and CA.

The only people we'll admire from this time are the ones who said "Hell, no."

Not here to vote, just here to give a hat tip to the Gil Scott-Heron reference

The old WFMU blog, Beware of the Blog, has not been updated since 2015, but we've continued to keep all the pages accessible to the public. Our host Typepad is now going out of business (let this be a lesson as to how unsafe "the cloud" is), and all blog pages will disappear on September 30. (1/2)

Happy birthday to the late Phil Hartman, born #onthisday September 24, 1948. Today would've been his 77th birthday.

He would often take requests to do custom answering machine messages as Troy McClure.

Chotiner: Professor, thank you so much for doing this. Sunstein: Great, thanks. If we go light on the Kissinger part, I wouldn’t complain, because it could dwarf everything else. ♦

The thing about a lot of these never Trump Republicans is that, unlike a lot of institutionalist Dems who think the fever will break and we can all return to comity or whatever, these guys saw the rot up close and know the only appropriate response is to tear them out of government root and branch.

The Political Awakening of the Oyster Farmer Gunning for Susan Collins Graham Platner’s campaign launch has been a sudden sensation. But what he’s building now is rooted in the work of a lifetime.

“No matter which way it goes—taking the Senate or the fall of democracy—whatever the eventuality, the work remains the same.”

YES. More of this

How I picture his tenure at FEMA ending

Why is a lesser villain from ROAD HOUSE now running FEMA?

Still my favorite tweet of all time

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it.

They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory.

Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human.

Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

" Fuck the people that try to make you scared."
