And this goes for shows like "Have I Got News For You". Snarky distance on things which are deadly serious just turns the audiences of these programs into apathetic lumps.

Two threads on why Jon Stewart has been awful for our politics.

Trash talking in handball! Heaven forbid!

Come on! You clotheslined him.

I'm warning you now. I'm going to lay off the politics for a bit. But tomorrow you may see #WeirdAlbumCovers. Be afraid.

LOL! The music at this France v Denmark match for handball is all Eurodisco. It's so cute.

Okay. One of my favorite sports in the Olympics is handball, team handball to be precise. Think of a cross between basketball and soccer. I recommend you all watch it and enjoy.

FFS! Can people not accept that this is a different era, and your whiteness doesn't entitle you to leadership?

It's like Bernie demanding that Kamala jump through hoops that he didn't demand Joe jump through. Gee, I wonder what's different about her than Pres. Biden. 🤔

And no, I don't want to hear defenses of any of them.

It doesn't help my mood that I was almost rear ended by a maniac doing 90 on the freeway in moderately heavy traffic half an hour ago. I don't like people very much.

And on that note, adios.

I'm sorry. After 2016, I give St. Bernard of the High Sparrow no benefit of the doubt. None. Zilch. Niente. So, please, with all due respect, don't excuse him to me. As a Cuban, his interview still extolling Castro on "60 Minutes" was it for me.

Joe is white and has a penis. Kamala... isn't and doesn't.

As always, fuck Bernie.

Fuck off.

@Alfred What do you have planned for this weekend? Will you read Plato in the original Greek?

I'm gonna say this: Joe looks like the weight of the world has been lifted off his shoulders, because he knows he has a stellar successor coming after him.

And now I'm watching Satchmo in concert on BBC Four. Life is gud.

Seen on Xitter. No idea if it's true. But it wouldn't surprise me. He will cut himself off from his entire family. Sad.

I'm serious. I ADORE that picture of Kamala in her post-punk phase. So fucking #GenX.

And tonight, filling in on keyboards for Bauhaus...

In ancient Greece, a general truce was declared during the Olympic festival.

Shame we can't do that now.
