There are a bunch of bands like this, where everyone went their separate ways and into better things. The Yardbirds is the most well-known but my favorite is probably London, who had zero hits but whose original members went on to form Motley Crue, Guns n’ Roses, W.A.S.P. & Cinderella.

Which is so funny because every BLM protest I went to, the organizers said, password protect your phone, don’t take pics of anyone, bring cash and memorize the phone number of someone who can bail you out of jail. There's an expectation that you might get arrested if you participate.

I am keeping an eye out for rummage sale signs. I want a beverage cart. 

So just watch them all.

First Donald Trump is no longer president, then I find out The Muppet Show is coming to a streaming service I have.

In my experience, many far-left Glenn Greenwald-newsletter subscribing Marxists have a kind of grudging respect for Trumpists in a game recognizes game sort of way. Trans rights and intersectionality are distractions that the bourgeoisie likes to harp on, according to them — if only we had economic equality, racism,…

Unbelievably, I still know a few people who are continuing to post about how “Trump and Biden are the same.” And yeah, Biden was not my first, second or third choice. But being able to undo some of the senseless cruelty of the Trump administration brings me joy. I’m looking forward to returning to fighting about if…

Everybody else has given some solid advice (the best being that cooking frozen beef is really hard, and defrosting is preferable), so I just want to add this: Using a meat thermometer has changed my cooking life immeasurably for the better. Seriously.

Chris O’Donnell told a funny story of how when he and Clooney were doing the press tour for ‘Batman & Robin’ they were in a plane when they hit some strong turbulence. O’Donnell tells Clooney, “Just imagine the newspaper headline ‘Chris O’Donnell and George Clooney Killed in Airplane Crash’”. To which Clooney…

“Who’s to say which camp is right?”

It’s the harmonica!

I guess they’re not in the mood for a melody.

And the huskies they sound like a carnosaur
And the microphone smells like a-beer

Really, I was not ready for that sound.

Man, I appreciate the jest, but this is a dude who just went OFF in his later years on how the world is organized by company, country, and geography, and is the worse off for all of it. This is the one person I’m confident that if you wanna make a joke like that, maybe he was bad with women would be the way to go? Am…

One of my favorite authors. He was a master of laying bare the reality that high stakes don’t imply a lack of of minutia and mundacity. Here was a guy who rightly called out self interest in all its forms and believed in the purpose of making the world a better place for everyone despite intricate familiarity with the…

Yup. It’s all on the current President for failing to follow the info telling him this was coming and the current Senate Majority Leader for blocking any attempt at real financial aid in the aftermath of the former’s failure.

And when AMC gets sold for spare parts and scrap, you can be assured they’ll all get their contractually stipulated bonuses and perks.  

I assume that the upper level executives have been drawing their usual salaries plus perks during this difficult period and will be receiving large parting compensation as well as sizeable bonuses for a job well done.

THREAD THE NEEDLE PATTI

I have zero interest in these films, but I enjoy reading the comments they generate. "And then went off to snort cocaine and fail upward" made me laugh out loud. Good work.
