production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

I stopped by “The Late Show” (soon to be the LATE Late Show) to give Mr. Colbert a piece of my hand-drawn mind.

You bet that now that I know there's a year stamped on blue mailboxes that I'll be looking at every single one I walk past.
USPS blue mailboxes are stamped with year of manufacture. This is one of the oldest ones I've seen in a while. I am lots of fun at parties.

This brilliant book begins with huge throngs at 1939 worlds fairs coming to see a woman dressed in artificial fabric & follows the plastics through WWII militarization & into women's undergarments in the 50's and then into implants and trans technologies. Capitalism, engineering, gender production!

just filled out the form to be an election worker in my town, we'll see what happens
I just generally think the antidote to dooming and feelings of helplessness is getting involved in any way. It can be as a poll worker, doing ICE watch, running for local office, helping with mutual aid, whatever.
You can get so much accomplished in your town or city if you just get involved.

anyway i know how many of you hate that i’m so vocal about this and think it makes me a naive shitlib or whatever. but again, i think the best thing you could do for yourself here is to get involved in election administration where you live.

Shirley Povich writing in 1962, with the most immaculate burn conceivable of the Redskins awful, vile owner George Preston Marshall, the last NFL owner to insist on an all white roster: "Jim Brown, born ineligible to play for the Redskins, integrated their end zone three times yesterday." RIP WaPo.

The Washington Post was a huge part of my childhood. It was my hometown newspaper that gave me a window into the mechanics of this great city. I feel for everyone who’s lost, losing, or will lose their job because of one man’s greed and ego.

Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)
