Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained.

These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.

My kids have been chanting “O-H-I-O Donald Trump has got to go!” for hours and it went from inspiring and endearing to brain melting annoying in 10 minutes.

Everywhere in RI is close to Providence! "Boston" shows are played a Great Woods and that's close to the same distance.

Tired: Bobby Valentine invented the turkey wrap

Wired: Tori Amos invented the goddamned PSL

Doug Mack @douglasmack.bsky.social · 3d

One more PSL post because I can't resist: Apparently Tori Amos was a pumpkin spice latte innovator in 1994! And specifically contrasted it to the drinks at Starbucks.

Tori Amos has an idea.

But not an idea for a song-a new drink. Returning to Seattle for her second-visit this year, Amos is eager to find an audience for her latest experi-ment in beverage concoction. "You have all your Starbucks things," she says. "Wett, I have one that tastes like pumpkin ple: It's my own invention; it's my contribution to Halloween. A little witch warmer!"

Amos more ardent fans would probably say she hardly needs to resort to creating pumpkin lattes to bewitch a crowd. The emotive singer/songwriter's first solo album, .1992's Little Earth

While Vought traces the “leftwing revolution” back a hundred years, to the progressive era, there is no question that the election of Barack Obama was a radicalizing moment for him and many key thinkers on the radical Right - as were the multiracial protests in the summer of 2020.

The vampires in Sinners are normie liberals and thus are the good guys.

What we need is an Obama Gay Marriage situation where a candidate feels free to talk about reconciliation and bipartisanship but the plugged-in people know the score.

I never pegged you as a PTA guy, love the content, but your list is WRONG. I've made peace with The Master hive but Licorice Pizza, WOOF.

(I've always had Magnolia #1. Want to rewatch OBAA before granting it top spot. If it takes it, I'll get off my bullshit and drop Magnolia down to 3 or 4.)

Heavily dependent on quality of the state party. There is no level of candidate quality that can break through the crooked D machine in Columbus, OH.

There were no pre-loaded GIFs from Love and Death. I tried. #RIPLegend

Always have to remind myself that I have a Frankenstein version that is MOSTLY the Elizondo recordings except for Not About Love (both versions fine; Brion's better) and Better Version of Me (Brion the better version of the song).

But what an album!
