I guess the thing about currently niche art forms like classical music/opera/ballet/etc. is that you can punch up or punch down at them, and a lot of people who think they're punching up are actually punching down

I’m sure some of my best friends worked on the #SuperBowl ads and I hate to say this, but they suck.

Not only is having a gun and a couple of extra mags not punishable by extrajudicial execution in the street, it’s perfectly legal and constitutionally protected. #AbolishICE

Been a while since I wrote a #windband piece #composer

So are we tired of it yet? Has the meme ran its course? Do we miss when not everything was shitty?

Now we know. Public healthcare, education, arts, transportation, and clean energy were always in reach. Our taxes that go to ICE could be going to things that would make life better. The money’s there. And it’s our money.

Overheard at my local beer joint: “I know you’re a Microsoft guy…”

What a mean thing to say about someone. :-(

You sure don’t hear much about state rights from conservatives these days…

#Walz suggesting that Minnesota is about to call up their well-regulated militia to get tyrannical forces out of their town.

Epstein tried to get a pic with every celebrity/politico/influential person, so I wouldn’t have thought much about one picture of him with #DavidBrooks …if David Brooks hadn’t just written an article encouraging us to dismiss the #EpstienFiles.

Holiday tip: combine the traditions of #Festivus and Dr. Seuss Christmas by putting up a 39 and a half foot aluminum pole.

Being born right at the end of the Vietnam war, I have seen some very thin arguments for using our military throughout my life. Declaring a street drug a WMD and claiming Venezuela has stolen our oil (?) is by far the most thinly stretched argument I’ve ever seen.

I’m glad it’s cool to think the band Kiss sucks now. I always thought they were corny and a boy band. I mean, I thought they sucked when it wasn’t cool, but yeah.

Whenever I hear the name Hans Gruber I can never remember if that’s the film composer or the brothers who wrote the fairytales.

Obviously revisiting a lot of Jimmy Cliff today. Good stuff, man.

$$$$$. His other kink was inviting smart people over to talk to while they nodded, smiled, and took the donation to their foundation. “That other 5% really sullied the whole operation…”

Might have to leave Insta because they don’t want me to exclaim “…fucking Fetterman, jumping Jesus on a pogo stick.”

It’s pretty clear that republicans are comfortable blowing up the deficit, so they could easily blow up the deficit AND fund food stamps. They just don’t want people to have food stamps. Not for austerity or anything, just to be shitty to people not born rich.

If Democrats agree to let republicans open up the government the Republicans promise to hold the football real still.

Are democrats caving or colluding? Either way they all need to be primaried.

Have molested kids ruined church? #NYTimesHeadlineIdeas

Rub-a-dub dub, bitches.

Step 2: Get 1 million rich New Yorkers to keep their promise to leave.

Media talking about “wHaT tHeSe ReSuLtS mEan.” What they won’t say: running a campaign based on what the voters where you live want, worked this time. Mamdani and Spanberger didn’t run different campaigns. They ran on stuff directly affecting the people voting for them. It’s the same campaign.

I think a lot about how different things might be if Biden had picked Doug Jones as AG. Whelp, here’s to the long slow climb out of authoritarianism that could have been avoided if Comey had kept his mouth shut, or Garlin had done anything, etc. etc.

You ever just get a hankerin’ for circus peanuts?

Me either.

You don’t have to pay people to protest a guy who would commute George Santos’ sentence and get Ghislaine Maxwell a cushier detention. #NoKings

“Yeah we goose’em a bit. It’s called a goose suit. It’s an old circus term.”

Yeah, weird how much more optimistic Slaughterhouse is than Galapagos. Love them both though. Never read Slapstick. 🤔

Honestly, it would be pretty hilarious to see John Bolton taken down by the shitty world he helped create.
