you should see if you can get weird al to show up for one of your videos. I bet he would!

I’m already having heady visions of the cover art for your first few LPs. [chef kiss]

Kinja isn’t letting me star comments right now, but if I could I’d give them all to you. Death metal polka is the musical genre the world needs right now. 

It was Tex-Mexpedited!

On the plus side, the side order of COVID came almost immediately.

Even if TX goes blue (and FL too, by the looks of it) and Biden wins, the mainstreaming of the far right will plague us until the republic is toast. 200+ Dump judges...if we take all three branches hopefully we learned from 2009-10. No room for complacency this time around. Terminate, repeal, indict. The transition…

It’s called the “Paul Ryan”.

I thought Republicans were in favor of personal responsibility.

It never ceases to amaze me how conservatives will twist themselves in utter knots to support private healthcare even when their own experiences demonstrate it doesn’t work.

What can you say to someone like this? It sounds like he got a C- in Econ 101 and that is the extent of what he understands about how markets work. How does he think “more competition” would work for medical care? After suffering a sudden, catastrophic injury, he would have shopped around for the cheapest care? Like,…

Gaetz, suddenly and inexplicably, feels the need to adopt a new son.

Agree with everything you said, and wanted to add that when white men shoot up schools, we get article after article about how they were bullied and ostracized and couldn’t find girls to date as if that somehow humanizes the atrocities they committed. As if people of color and LGBTQ kids and women aren’t subjected to…

I cannot speak for Jezebel here, but the article has a point.

I happened to catch Jaws about 2-3 weeks into the pandemic and the similarity of that situation to watching the Lt Gov of Texas basically telling the senior citizens of Texas to “take one for the team” and launch themselves headfirst into the shark’s mouth...well that was one big guffaw I let out when that epiphany…

A f’en men (plus this is one of my all time favorite movies so I’ll fight for it). Here is a meme my cousing shared with me back in April that I think fits in here nicely:

Yeah, that’s the right take.

Against this social backdrop, the absurdity of the 45-year-old mother of all summer blockbusters, Jaws, has never been clearer. It is the story of a cop, with no background in marine biology and, in fact, hatred of water, taking it upon himself to hunt a great white shark, a vulnerable apex predator whose survival is…

I read and loved Gone With the Wind when I was pretty young, and in retrospect would have very much appreciated some context - that book, combined with an 8th grade history teacher that insisted that the Civil War was about money and not slavery, gave me some unfortunate ideas about slavery and the time period that I…

That’s why I love Turner Classic Movies (I got rid of cable and sorely miss it, so watch whenever I’m visiting friends that have it.) The intros are always helpful, and I love series like The Essentials where they really dive into the film and put it into context, etc. Perhaps HBO can do something like that for films…
