folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

Lynne Ahrens was a 22 year old guitar-playing secretary/copywriter at the advertising firm of McCaffrey & McCall when she was asked by producer George Newell if she’d like to contribute songs to the new Schoolhouse Rock project.

She wrote and sang “No More Kings.”

Think of her this weekend.

My cats will not eat any cat food other than fish. One of them will eat bits of actual chicken or turkey but the other has no interest and neither will even try red meat. Although one will eat salad greens. I don't even know.

I do prefer "start small and get bigger" because casting on 290 stitches breaks my spirit

I want to remind everyone that "cringe" as an insult emerged from the same sort of anti-social Internet culture that 4chan emerged and we should reject it as an insult.

Quinta Jurecic @qjurecic.bsky.social · 15h

After 2024, pundits brushed off the Resistance as cringe. I submit: Yes, it was. And cringe is good. Cringe, in fact, will save democracy.

Resistance Is Cringe

But it’s also effective.

Looking forward to the new Springsteen movie (though I can’t go today cos I have to go to Canterbury). This is your periodic reminder that one of his greatest songs owes something to Ovid's Ex Ponto 4.2, where he says:

I really love how in England they have modified No Kings to No Tyrants out of local sensibilities whilst in Ireland they are all like NO KINGS, do I stutter.

LMFAO at myself for being able to picture that

This resonates with me.
The idea that someone is "better" than other people is a hard no at a visceral level.
