I know it is unkind to gloat, but I’m an Ohioan and GODDAMN does this feel good tonight.

The original

Proof:

1-1?

Dang, forgot The Bad Plus - Everybody Wants To Rule the World

I like “Back in the New York Groove,” but Frehley’s version is so close to the original that I have to check which one I’m listening to.

Wow, not sure how I missed that detail all these years. But I guess if I had to learn it, their 50th anniversary is as good a time as any.

Or... This song released in 1978 by The Brains.

Glad to see Devo on this list. They took that song completely apart, shook it up and reassembled it. It’s one of the most inventive covers I’ve ever heard that both sounds a bit like the original and at the same time, nothing at all like it.

I personally thought it was the latter - people who either WFH or have very tiny office spaces who occasionally want to hold a big meeting for clients/investors/etc. .. and want to impress them with on-tap kumbucha. I suspected it was like those writer’s spaces where you pay a monthly fee and can go there and work,…

My favorite line:

All of this. I was fine with the Dems voting to oust McCarthy just as I’m fine with not one Dem voting for Johnson. Dems didn’t want Johnson and didn’t want McCarthy. That’s not hard math to figure out. The GOP was going to support a shit sandwich either way.

Grok will answer “spicy questions’’ with a bit of wit and humor, much like its CEO.

They’re so bad at lying and at... well, everything.

Exactly. I thought the whole point of not having cameras was to prevent people - lawyers, defendants, judges, etc. - playing up to them. Yet they all seem to be doing that anyway based on reports. Dumb Donald Jr. is asking the sketch artist to make him look sexy (impossible). Just put the cameras in and screw it.

Who could have anticipated two mean girls eventually turning on each other?

Makes the fact that his first big act is to push for defunding the IRS that much more understandable.

Especially when they (mostly white politicians/political commentators) use King as a cudgel to hit black people with but ignore his lessons that apply to their own fucking life.

They should get David Hyde-Pierce.
