Yeah. This post made me tear up. The lipstick and pretzel.

Can we turn off Jez for the night on this sweet heartbreaking note? Before some awful Trump bullshit ruins it?

He doesn’t just lack intellectual curiosity, he’s fucking lazy and unwilling to do any part of the job that he finds boring. He could literally get someone to read his daily briefings to him in their entirety, but he won’t even do that.

Part of being smart is knowing what you don’t know. He has no intellectual curiousity, none.

It’s a mark of intelligence to recognize what you don’t know and seek counsel and knowledge about it. Only stupid people think they know everything.

I agree. Hell, I just saw Patti Smith in January perform then entire Horses album with her band. She remains such an amazing artist in every way, at 69. I’m was in awe of her powerful voice.

She’s been hinting at this for years and we just never noticed! I would cheerfully vote for Madonna.

In fairness, evolution can be difficult to understand.

“Papa Don’t Preach”= Separation of Church and State Champion

Is it really good though? A world of possibilities has to be filled with as many scary prospects as it is with promising ones. I’d think I’d be happier if I still lived in a world where the presidency was seen as a job so serious and so difficult that not just any old asshole with high name ID could do it.

Madonna was interviewed before the show and was asked if she would consider running for president one day. She replied, “Maybe”. When asked what would be the first thing she’d do as president she replied that she would pay school teachers a whole lot more.

Bowie’s one-line backup vocal on Iggy Pop’s “The Passenger” is one of my favorite moments in pop music history.

Bowie’s one-line backup vocal on Iggy Pop’s “The Passenger” is one of my favorite moments in pop music history. (Bowie harmonizes the chorus “la la las,” but otherwise only joins in for one repetition of “bright and hollow sky”. Just a brilliant weird minimal production choice.)

Absolutely love the David Bowie backing vocals. Great song to begin with but then it hits another gear!

We’ve got these Christmas billboards everywhere right now.

My neighbors are shooting automatic weapons off right now, and at the Kops for Kids spaghetti feed tonight at the church santa will be raffling off guns. Does anyone else feel like a stranger in a strange land due to where they live?

So America is now a Putin Puppet State!!

Such a great song. This was playing when I proposed.
