When one Nuttycombe rises, we all rise!

No, this is a new book that I just bought and read last week. Right? Can't be 10 years ago. Can't I say! Oh, time.... Also, good book, thanks.

Can’t wait for the book.

Terrific

In razzing Nuzzi with his nuzzling buzz, Lizza wouldn’t be muzzled. It’s puzzling that their sizzle fizzled but Nizzi was dazzled by the old buzzard. She found him snazzy, said huzzah, all that jazz. Lizza felt scuzzy, ate pizza on the mezzanine.

Film of the year!

There is absolutely nothing old or consolidated about *multiracial, pluralistic democracy* in America. It only started 60 years ago.

And the conflict over whether or not it should be allowed to endure and prosper has been the central fault line in U.S. politics ever since.

True fact: for years I walked past the local Ulta and thought it was “Ultra” every time. Which seems like a better name, but still…

sherman, for the love of god!

"I've seen that sort of thing before" could be your next book. Thanks much.

Mr. @bcdreyer.social Any thoughts about the use of quotation marks and exclamation points in the liner notes to this 1959 British LP, “The Best of the Goon Show”? (Yes, I’m that person.) Thanks.

One of my first concerts was Rare Earth. Opening act: Allman Brothers. I’d never heard of them and was shocked they had two drummers. I was a drummer and was there for the solo on “Get Ready.”

Tonight I can get away with asking folks the one question I’m forced to keep to myself the other 364 days of the year:

“And who are YOU supposed to be?”

🔥 COACH SULLY: “Let’s see what $4.3 TRILLION looks like when each party gets their hands on it… the oligarchs are laughing all the way to the bank (with Republicans)…”

Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino, Who Fired Tear Gas at Little Village Crowd, Set to Face Federal Judge U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis ordered Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino to appear in her courtroom at the Dirksen Federal Building in downtown Chicago at 10 a.m. Tuesday.

Greetings from the Dirksen federal courthouse, where Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino is set to appear before U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis.
What you need to know, for @wttw.bsky.social:

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

True story: saw a teaser poster for this, just art and title, no text. Loved it. Wrote to Disney asking to buy a copy. They sent me one for free. A theater copy, printed on both sides for display in a lighted case. Still framed, still love it.

So the past is quite modern, too.

So grateful to @theatlantic.com for excerpting Paper Girl so beautifully yesterday.

Purge, Merge, and Surge Trump is creating a omniforce of armed loyalists to establish his police state

I think this from @donmoyn.bsky.social is essential reading for the moment. I’d emphasize that the staggering process he describes doesn’t end with the assault on immigrants. It’s about creating an armed force loyal to nobody but Trump. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/purge-merg...

Thank you. This crazy idea is also the greatest idea. I can now hear “Tusk” as the theme song for every show (title altered accordingly).

A variation on a Mel Brooks quote, I believe. And Mel is always correct.

So well put…

An American Werewolf In King Arthur’s Court

I still think it’s backwards that every mass shooter owning an AR-15 is considered a right while their victims’ healthcare is considered a privilege.
