We are being controlled by people who were put in power by about a third of the US public. That’s not how this is supposed to work.

I will never forgive anybody for not voting Harris where their vote would have made a difference.
Come at me with blaming her and get blocked.

I’m overwhelmed by The Great Firehose of Suck and have little hope we can recover. I’m not quite sure what to do about the despair. A sort of ironic detachment seems to be my default.

Bored with the “Leftist” vs. “Liberal” shit.
We’re all on the same fucking side even though many of our representatives are weak and venal.
It’s creating a division among the ranks that we can’t afford.

Part of my education as a child was Tom Lehrer. Indeed a significant portion of my worldview was influenced by his work.
He retired from music really early in his long life, but he cast a long and weird shadow.
I’m grateful that he shared his talent and wit with us.

I noticed the neutral/rightward shift on NPR and all along I was thinking this very thing - that it will not save them.
Turns out that NPR and PBS' pandering to the right still didn't save their funding. Maybe there's a lesson here for media that think that tilting to the right will spare them from accusations of "liberal bias."
The rescission bill has passed the Senate. Once it passes the House, as expected, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's budget will be zeroed out for the first time since 1967, back when TV stations still broadcast in black and white.

If Christians can decide they don’t have to do anything they don’t want to like take vaccines because it’s against their religion, I can decide that anything I don’t want to do is against MY religion. Right?
