The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways

Roy Orbison's singing for the lonely
Hey, that's me and I want you only

One of my most controversial beliefs is that Donald Trump was already president, with a policy record that can be assessed, and that he was still the president throughout the year 2020.

The biggest takeaway from the newest Patreon episode of @ifbookspod.bsky.social is that @notalawyer.bsky.social has a weirdly specific knowledge of the name of every character from Pinocchio (1940) locked and loaded at all times

“when you meet a member of the ku klux klan” from 1921 is a wonderful poem on how to handle the klan. It’s good advice for dealing with all fascists.
