So, how does this NOT happen here in the US?

“Let’s go get ‘em”

NC Gov. Roy Cooper.

If given the opportunity, my first debate question to would be “what is Marxism”.

The absolutely unacceptable comments on other sm re: Tim Walz' son is indicative of how those people really feel about persons with disabilities. It started, and should have ended, with mocking Serge Kovaleski. But instead they are perfectly comfortable pretending that "if everyone is equal than everyone is fair game" to mask the fact that they want "different" people to go away. Anyone who thought they would stop at immigrants and transgender better buckle up.

#cosomusic #podcast EP42 of my indie rock podcast just came down from the mothership. As always, 10 brand new tracks to help you find your new favorite bands. And we give you all the info so you can listen, like, and support the artists. Plus, me and Ben talk about our favorite music-based books, and we begin the search for an obscure artist. Check us out and let us know what you think!

I am sure it isn't himself making decisions about what music is played at his rallies, or even claiming that TayTay is endorsing him. So - who is?? And surely that person has to know it puts the campaign and the candidate in legal jeopardy. So - do those laws just not matter to them anymore? Are they really all "fuck Isaac Hayes and fuck ASCAP and fuck BMI!" It doesn't make any sense considering they could have any Lee Greenwood, Nugent, and Kid Rock songs they want for free.

Well, my beehive turned out to be yellowjackets, therefore I had no moral/ethical dilemma having them exterminated. They were building a nest in the siding under my deck. Yellowjackets are assholes and I watched with glee as they dropped dead trying to escape a torrent of drione dust and chemicals. Hasta la vista you stinging jerks.

Its “the red scare” all over again. James Comer is a menace. #politics

“economic speech” today. Remember that episode of the Simpsons when Bart goes in front of the class to give a report on “Treasure Island”? IYKYK

There’s a family not too far from my neighborhood with a billboard-sized sign in their front yard. They live on about 1/3 acre and their house is about 3000 sq ft and valued at 430k. The crime rate in their neighborhood is non-existent, not even the occasional hood rat checking for an unlocked car door. Sometimes I wanna knock on their door and ask them about the dystopian hellscape, how they are managing to survive it, and who does their amazing landscaping. But then I want ice cream.

🎧 Skin Yard, "Skin Yard". I'm (finally) reading "Everybody Loves Our Town", the 500 page oral history of the Seattle music scene. Skin Yard was one of the bands that just never made the leap, although they were about as close to Soundgarden as a band could get (Matt Cameron was their drummer). They just didn't have a Chris Cornell. Anyway, naturally I am going back and spinning a lot of those more obscure pre-Nirvana bands and this is a real standout.

I have had it up to here (my hand is under my chin) with this “we go high” bullshit. Let us celebrate a hard fought first down. Let us pump our fist after busting up a no-hitter. Let us have a celebratory beer for breaking par. Shut up and sit down. This is how we maintain the enthusiasm to put that fascist out to pasture.

Well....shit....I think I have a beehive in my siding....I've always been pretty good with pest control but I am NOT fucking with that. Calling a pro. Already envisioning the worst case scenario and watching plenty of horrific videos of people having the entire side of their house torn down.

Did the usa really put a known cult leader out there as our representative from the next olympics?

September 8.

Thats the date I am wildly and without evidence predicting that the campaign will issue a statement claiming that he has some form of ADHD and that democrats hate people with cognitive disorders because they have been excoriating him for his ADHD all this time. They will literally run out the last two months of the campaign on the “he’s not crazy he’s ill” platform.

Again. I have no reason to think this will happen but desperate times….

Let me make it easy for the increasingly lazy and stupid news media.

Going forward, do a “truth check” on and assume everything else is a lie. Your articles will be way shorter and you’ll spend a lot less time researching what that weird fatass says.

Happy Sunday coso. Congrats to the USWBB team on the 🏅

All the food shopping, laundry, and cleaning-landscaping is done. Everybody has stuff going on today that requires zero input from me. There’s a Guardians of the Galaxy TP awaiting my attention. That’ll be my sunday, with an appropriate playlist of course. Y’all enjoy your day. Much love.
