Hey, they played Cypress Hill! (Because weed, I’m guessing.)

Oh, it’s coming.

I thought I was an emotional masochist.

I made a similar comment on Twitter. Now a self-styled conservative blogger is badgering me for making the great conjecture that those documents were classified.

I find Real Time is pretty watchable if I skip the parts where it’s just Bill Maher talking. When I watch, I usually skip straight to the panel discussion. They do a decent job of putting together a panel, and Bill Maher can be a good moderator when he wants to be. And it’s always nice when someone calls him on his…

Re #2: I don’t know about Islamic cat legends, but I’ve heard this Catholic one a few times:

It is accepted local lore that the Munchkin actors had nightly orgies at the Culver Hotel. I’ve never been to a happy hour there where someone didn’t bring up Munchkin debauchery.

I went to large public schools in a big, diverse city. Yes, I got a good book education, and that’s important - but most of the benefits weren’t part of the curriculum.

You have this random Internet stranger’s full support and thanks.

I have mixed feelings about the movie, but I’ve recommended it to people who’ve had a hard time keeping track of the time jumps in the book’s narrative. Aside from a few flashbacks and a tidy ending, it’s basically the main points of the book’s present timeline in chronological order.

At the L.A. march, I saw a woman dressed in full Handmaid regalia, carrying a “no lite te bastardes...” sign.

I’m totally with you... but at the same time, some people find comfort in having a physical place to focus their grief. Like when a cousin of mine died suddenly a couple of years ago: His wife and son both felt he wouldn’t want to take up room that the living could use, but his parents really needed somewhere physical…

Here’s the list of Finance Committee members, should anyone want to have a nice chat with the members’ staffs.

You don’t need dispensation for a shabbos goy, though. If some gentile neighbor takes it upon themselves to pound on the door and yell, “Your father’s listening to the Nazi again,” that’s not their fault.

They’re complicit, and they’ll deny it by pointing to the timing of orders.

Interesting. I think there’s a good chance they may have gone by that order, just because they didn’t have any other mechanism in place.

An astute point from The Intercept’s Washington editor: Trump had to skip over three other US Attorneys to get to one he liked.

I’m actually starting a reading group (on Facebook, natch) for The Origins of Totalitarianism. I’ve made reference to it so much lately that my phone suggests the title when I type “the o.” If the Trump administration is using it as a playbook - which they seem to be - we can get a step ahead of them.

If I didn’t live here already, I would seriously consider moving here. It seems like the best place in the US to ride out the next four years.

California is set to become a sanctuary state, if it hasn’t already. Trump & Co are about to find out that the country needs California a whole lot more than California needs the rest of the country.
