Married with 2 grown daughters & 1 mini poodle. I mute DM flirters.
Just wrote something on Matthew Kramer's 2018 book on Hart.

@awfulannouncing.bsky.social Just wondering whether anybody enjoys John Champion's constant banter and attempts at humor.

A lot of announcers have no ability at all. That's not Champion. He knows the game, and would actually be quite good if he could manage to stop trying to be funny.

This is a fantastic statement from the governor of Washington, but I can't get past the fact that the man who's standing up to the right-wing anti-immigrant machine is named ...

Bob Ferguson?

Seriously?

Does he have a daughter named Willa?
🚨🚨🚨WA Governor Bob Ferguson responds to a letter he received from AG Pam Bondi in which she threatened to place him in jail. 🧯He is on fire! 1/2

Like Satchie below, I realize that I was confused about something awhile back. I try to make my amends--and introduce a new review of an excellent book here: luckorcunning.blogspot.com/2025/10/my-l...

Will Kimmel be another Shostakovich, revising his approach in response to "just criticism"?

(I'll say no, but I've been wrong before.)

Maybe evidence that Donald Trump entered into a "Queen for a Day" proffer agreement with Barry Krischer & Alex Acosta in Florida’s investigation of Jeffrey Epstein?

Mike Johnson & Nancy Mace have publicly stated that Trump told them he was an FBI informant and helped the FBI “take Epstein down.”

Should non-citizens be counted in the US Census? And should the determination of THAT matter be determined by vote?

What MAGA supporters hate about the new South Park season is that they can't say the show is "woke." For 30 years, nothing has been more anti-woke than South Park. It doesn't give a shit if something shown is politically incorrect. So complaints about it come off as snowflakey. Trumpians hate that.

As everybody is now writing (or making films about!) Hannah Arendt these days, I thought I'd get in on the fun.

This is stark

RIGHT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has facilitated and/or engaged in the sexual assault of over a thousand children.

How long will Fox News and other MAGA outlets continue to talk (and fantasize) about Sydney Sweeney? I'm going to say 3 more months is reasonable...and then, of course, resuscitate her for anti-woke midterm ads.

Trump says undocumented immigrants do farm work "naturally" because "they don't get a bad back."

Mississippi's Declaration of Secession similarly said slavery must be protected because "by an impervious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun."

Just finished a piece on two papers by Maria Paula Saffon and Nadia Urbinati, including their brand new one on political parties.
