we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping

Where I live has some of the cheapest electricity rates in the country. But in 12 months the price we pay for our power has risen 52%. We were paying $0.0617 per kWH and now it's $0.939 per kWH.

We first heard it on AM radio on a family drive in the 1960s, and we listened eagerly for it for years. It certainly is not guilty of taste.

Damn straight.

Muffed the title a little bit, but IDed an absolute family favorite. A song/sprechtstimme presentation that delivers all the way to the end.

So does learning, and they'll cure that too.

I just left the classified briefing on Iran. And it only confirmed what we already knew:

Donald Trump is waging an illegal war and he has no plan to end it.

And all before I could get out there with my hit LP or 8-track, "Hooked on Gregorian Chant," combining those monk voices we all loved with the ceaseless monotonous hand clap percussion we also inexplicably loved.

Pretty unconvincing, how I can't even match up my own lip movements.

Getting near bedtime, but I am making content.

This is why I dropped him at the tattoo and nothing he said about it made any difference to me. Even if I’d found his explanations and remorse credible—which I don’t, especially—it’s a massive campaign liability that I think should be disqualifying in itself

Hoopla is a little different in that you can watch movies on it through your library card, and you get a limited number per month.

"Abolish ICE" is, very literally, the moderate position

COURT JESTER. It's on Hoopla, I see. THE INSPECTOR GENERAL is on Prime and at Hulu (in English and Spanish).

I cannot let a Danny Kaye reference go by without sneaking in a mention of ME AND THE COLONEL, which _formed_ me

(I may be switching the titles. One is THE COURT JESTER. I endorse either.)

They have most of it at archive. For some reason, their scan didn't include the page with the sheet music pic. The other page is how their scans look-- fine for reading purposes. I just looked at Jose Delbo's wikipedia entry, and he counted that one as a favorite job, as well he should.

(So's THE INSPECTOR GENERAL. Birds of a feather; get mentioned together.)

"Hey! John went thither with her!" Still my favorite line from the comic book adaptation of the movie, which is my favorite Beatles movie that The Beatles did the least amount of actual work on.

I'm not even a Danny Kaye fan, but it is a darn good movie, and it plays to his strengths perfectly.

My standard version is "I don't know, I've never read any."

People always correct me. It's more satisfying than telling the joke. (Also, I'm indirectly named for the writer, and have read some.)

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?

NOEM: Yes

WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?

NOEM: No.

The state courts can and should ignore that ruling by considering it an advisory ruling only. If challenged on their refusal to honor it, they simply need to require Alito to argue his case, of which he does not have one.

Kid came home with a 3D printed ICE whistle one of her classmates gave out to everyone and knew exactly what to do and what it is used for. I'm happy she has one, but I'm sad she needs to.

My 9 year old does active shooter drills and knows the government is kidnapping her friends and their parents

5 for the handle-- looks smooth and un-edged-- and 2 for the tines, which seem (again) smooth and un-edged, which is an advantage to the dishwasher as well as an eater.

Only if he clutches the magic feather, and Pete won't share.

A dark night sky with a central pinpoint of a bright yellow tinged star, tinier dots of stars theoughout the night sky are barely visible; above is a searing emerald green aurora turning the snow below a matching muted green hue. There is a forest in the distance.

Also the Leslies. One changed it, one kept it.

His forehead gets three sweats shinier.

A suggestion as our entire media is bought up by Nazis:

There is over 130 years of cinema. Stop watching new stuff. Do not give them a dime.

Buy physical 2nd hand movies and start watching things you've never seen before. The classics, the b-movies, foreign language, color, B&W, everything.
