My favorite metal band, Fear Factory, turned me on to Mario Savio's "Bodies upon the gears" protest speech from 1964. Inspirational stuff in these times.

Jeff Foxworthy voice:

"If you think trans folks or others don't deserve to live their lives in peace... you might be a fascist"

"If you support troops brutalizing communities with no due process... you might be a fascist"

"If the leader of your party sics the courts on the opposition..."
“There are many who do not know they are fascists but will find it out when the time comes.”

- Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls

"Coherence" is a low-budget sci-fi movie that's all about the characters, dialogue, and mood. It's the perfect solution to making a mind-bending movie without money. Basically, a dinner party of longtime friends starts to experience weird things and suspect each other.

This 40-something dad can report that your tween son will probably not, in fact, be "blown away" by the music video for "Freak on a Leash," no matter how loud you make it

The rest of his life, every job he has, his coworkers will mock him:

"I'm sorry I brought that hoagie into work; hope it didn't trigger your PTSD"

"Uh-oh, better get a bomb squad out here; Greg ordered a sandwich."
The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.

"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.

"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

I bet the Pink Floyd song "Brain Damage" makes linguists smile at the over-pronunciation of "cloudbursts"

You know, it was really quite the feeling when I realized I don't hate the #Packers; I just hate Favre and Rodgers

Is Groucho there wearing a pair of those Zuckerberg anti-privacy glasses?
Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

It's a soft way of dissolving congress, ceding power to the executive. Classic dictator playbook.
Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
