I am in pee
stepped in so far, that, should I wade no more,
Putin would still have me by the balls.

Totally want a Trump-ified version of Lear now. With, I guess, Tiffany as Cordelia?

I know, right? Crazy! It's almost like, being social animals, it's impossible for us to live our lives completely and ideally untrammeled from the beliefs and feelings and practices of the others of our species, much less ignore the fact that without them we'd be unable to live any semblance of a life at all! If only…

Drop your panties, Sir William, I cannot wait till covfefe

No love for Alex Chilton? He does wonderful things all throughout Radio City, but then you get to "September Gurls" … The way the bridge subtly accumulates tension, then that gleaming, yearning solo releases and soars away from it—it's eloquent in a way that beggars a lot of flashier work. I get chills every time I…

Christ, outlier? With minor exceptions that was the fucking PATTERN for the Bush years, from the Florida recount forward. The institutional press lined up early after the 2004 election for Social Security privatization, too, which was supposed to be the grand achievement of the second term. And if Iraq hadn't rapidly…

Were you even around at all during the runup to the Iraq war? Or maybe you need to lay off the forget-me-nows. CNN was a MASSIVE cheerleader for the Bush administration and its bullshit "evidence" of WMDs and its bullshit terrorism alerts and the whole fucking rest of it. There was never the slightest question of not…

You forget that first thing up on the agenda after the 2004 election was Social Security privatization. If their war hadn't turned to shit, that social and economic rollback (and let's not forget that the first thing the first term did was impose a massive regressive tax restructuring) was exactly where they were…

Absolutely. Those benefits are part of your actual compensation. Don't use them? May as well not cash a paycheck or two. Feel actual pride about not using them? You're just a goddamn dupe.

This is one very good reason why boycotts—as a subset of voluntarist activism—can't ever be a substitute for the practical and consistent solidarity involved in unionism. Real as they are, actions like this are a form of viral marketing at best; at worst (for at least some people anyway) they're just empty virtue…

As a subset of the "poor people are lazy" stereotype. Whereas anybody who's been there knows that nobody has to work harder than the poor just to stay afloat. It's one of the lovely things we do in this country, squeeze people so that they have to hold multiple jobs they spend inordinate amounts of time getting to and…

The pretty thing is coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE

"What if we took a bunch of punk-era pop songs and drained them of all energy and motive, wouldn't that be a thing?"

No way All Shook Down belongs on the classic list. Swap it with Hootenanny.

And vastly bigger than Nanoflix.

Whoopie? Who's … Oh, you mean #tatted Oprah.

Just the tip.

Me, I liked the culinary-adventure spinoff, Jon Benjamin Eats a Naan.

Phthalo blue is a garbage color.
