They're throwing away the key.
I wonder who it will be tomorrow, you or me?

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

*Sigh*. I'm old enough to remember that the media and all political discourse in this country halted for 10 days because Barack Obama said it was stupid for the police to arrest Henry Louis Gates for trying to break into his own home.

Trump pulling out all the stops for Saudi crown prince for first White House visit since Khashoggi killing - CNN
Ah, yes. The “sensitive dynamic” of brazenly corrupt selfdealing in the White House. RIP Jimmy Carter’s peanut farm.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed.
