If America falls into totalitarianism because a majority of people believe these morons, then we didnโ€™t deserve democracy in the first place.

Hopefully strong enough to get him laughed out of office. He wants to be a martyr; he canโ€™t handle being a punchline.

I mean, you can trace it back to 2015. Live by the escalator, die by the escalator.

I saw those two words together, and the same album cover popped into my head, so youโ€™re no more predictable than I am. (And yes, I called it an โ€œalbum coverโ€ because GenX.)

Damn. I was looking forward to the shorter lines at airports and the DMV.

Not the post I was expecting from the Prince of Darkness, but ok. Iโ€™ve only used the urinals, and from that sample Iโ€™ve inferred that male discount shoppers seem to have really bad aim.

Coward. Jeffries is a corporate shill in Democratโ€™s clothing. If he canโ€™t โ€œvote blue no matter whoโ€, then heโ€™s no more useful to us or to American Democracy than any MAGA.

Any democrat who still believes the old norms apply is too naive to hold office. We need people prepared to battle, not simpletons who expect the status quo to do the necessary heavy lifting.

Trump was a student of Roy Cohn. Thatโ€™s the through line connecting these two dark eras in American history.

Not so far-fetched considering Wilkinsonโ€™s behavior during the Toronto run of Phantom.

Mine were religious, but they were also raging liberals, so I was able to have my own opinions about dogma, and we just agreed not to discuss it once I was an adult and no longer under their roof. But, DAMN, that Catholic upbringing cost me at least 5 years in therapy.

Heโ€™s always been a parasite that ends up killing its current host from draining all its energy and resources. And then he moves on to his next victim. Fortunately, NYC was able to fend him off; the US government seems to have just rolled over and played dead while he gutted it.

Hasnโ€™t she built her entire career by doing that?

For times to go back to being unprecedented, this country will have to be un-presidented. Judging from his appearance at Arlington on 9/11, that shouldnโ€™t be much longer. Just hold on until then.

To be fair, he canโ€™t either.

A month after 9/11, my father and I went to Yankee Stadium. The reverence shown to those lost and those continuing the search at the WTC site made him proud to be a lifelong #NYYankees fan. He would have been repulsed by their actions. Iโ€™m glad he didnโ€™t live to see them become Nazi sympathizers.

I get that this is set during the Cold War, but a regular piano or a string instrument would be so much lessโ€ฆ artificial.

Did they really have to bring the electric piano over from the set of Glee? This song deserves so much better.

What a shame indeed. David Carroll and Judy Kuhn never sounded better than they do on this recording. So glad to have gotten the CD back in the day and to have a lossless version in my digital library. Carroll was such a talented performer and an even more lovely human being.

Every member of the GOP, every corrupt member of the Roberts court should be met with this everywhere they go.

Screenshot of a headline from Jacobin magazine. It reads:

"Zohran Mamdani: โ€œNew York City Is Not for Sale

by Zohran Mamdani

At a Brooklyn town hall with Bernie Sanders on Saturday, Zohran Mamdani recounted how Bernie โ€œgave me the language of democratic socialism to describe my politicsโ€ and called on supporters to keep organizing after Election Day. We reproduce his speech here."

There's a photo of Andrew Cuomo and another man entering a building.

Watching Trumpโ€™s disappointment at Sinnerโ€™s #USOpen loss yesterday had real Jesse Owens at the 1936 Olympics vibes.
