From last year, but Last Needle by Ben Smith is a good “fuck you, we’re breaking up” Christmas song. https://bensmithsongs.bandcamp.com/track/last-needle

“The tool for that power is intimacy and intercourse - used like a shiv and a sledgehammer respectively.”

Yeah they’re perpetual goof material but I do so love them.

I know this is a book post but another possibility for this demo is the 40th anniversary edition re-release of A Farewell To Kings by Rush.

That is such a great story.

Same, although I will sheepishly admit to a soft spot for Big Head Todd And The Monsters.

I just have to say that her knowing, hand-on-chin look in that picture is completely charming.

Oh my God I’m a dude and I would piss my pants if I tried that.

Same.

Me too.

I’ll admit it, I thought Ronan Farrow was a legacy hire who wouldn’t distinguish himself more than the typical offspring of the rich and famous. He’s really been great though, maybe the only person who’s had a good year in 2017.

Well at least no one was eating them.

Gah. I read about it over the weekend, I think it was an article on The Hill, so I just skimmed the link here. That’ll teach me.

It turns out he had child porn on his phone and he pleaded to trafficking in a deal, so that changes the context quite a bit.

Thanks. I didn’t see that part in the linked article, see my subsequent replies.

I didn’t know about the child porn part, see my subsequent replies.

Could be, sure. Anyway, there’s this too which I didn’t know about when I originally posted. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2017/11/20/former-oklahoma-state-senator-admits-to-child-sex-trafficking-while-in-office/

Married couples have been known to have arrangements, cover for each other, etc. It’s rare, and chances are she’s a wronged party too, but we should never presume to know what’s going on inside one.

Whoa. OK then. Thanks for the link, there was a lot more to this than I thought when I posted.

The liberals that exist in the imaginations of conservatives are spectacular.
