San Diego

Sometimes I just want to read Donald Duck
and be in silence.
But then birds natter outside my window
while rain patters on the roof.

Is “Fog of War” a cocktail?

Finally getting some theological clarity on the ethics of reclining in one’s plane seat

This picture gives off such "Retired volunteer tasked with staffing the check-in desk on the last day of a small conference" vibes.

Putin and Trump are both such legendary pranksters that I can’t figure out who snuck the DEI policies and training into the draft Ukraine plan.

this seems like the sort of thing you do to expand an internal revolt already in progress rather than to try to start one
We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.

The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.

Don’t give up the ship.

Got email confirmation that my ballot (voting YES on #Prop50) was received.

For everyone who hasn’t done this duty yet, California makes voting so easy.

This includes convenient ballot boxes so you can avoid using the Postal Service. I dropped mine at my local library a few days ago.

If he really needs a ballroom, can’t he just go to IKEA or fill Melania’s unused bedroom with balls?

Front page of the main San Diego paper, with articles covering multiple protests throughout San Diego County, including the small protest at the main gate of Camp Pendleton (where Vance and Hegseth went to bathe in testosterone).

The math maths here in San Diego (or I guess the rest of the world would say the maths math).

The Regime still manages to surprise: who knew that Russell Vought had D’Angelo in his sights?

Bluesky lists and labels seem to say more about the creators (bless their hearts for teaching me about my inner “piss-drinking Nazi”) than the people on them, but I am genuinely miffed about this one...

Time to flood the Nobel Peace Prize committee with non-Trump nominations for next year’s prize.

I’m drafting a passionate letter nominating the Inanimate Carbon Rod from when Homer Simpson went to space.

Kudos to whoever picked this picture for the intro to a piece about the Hegseth all-call. I award it 5 eyerolls.

From the Tuesday evening national news on Finnish tv.

I’m pretty sure that was the first time I’ve walked out of a show saying “How fucking great was that trombonist?”

At the Orpheum LA for tonight’s Spiritualized show. My 12th time since they blew my mind opening for the Jesus & Mary Chain in 1992 (eek!).

Picture is from my fave of those, a 2016 show at the London Barbican playing the best album of 1997 in its entirety.

Trump needs to get the National Guard to Memphis ASAP. The Jumpsuit Liberation Front apparently hit Graceland and released this into the wild:

I have to admit that, until today, I hadn’t wondered whether Tom Homan is named in the Epstein File.

Thanks to the news about that bribe and the administration’s reaction to it, I’m starting to suspect.

The model for the rest of Kimmel’s ABC contract should be how Norm Macdonald doubled down on OJ Simpson jokes when (allegedly) facing pressure from NBC execs friendly with OJ.

Always brutal and willing to make audiences very uncomfortable.

BINGO (as if I went out on a limb with that prediction)
It feels weird to say I’m ”eager“ to watch Bill Maher tomorrow night, but I really want to know how quickly he’ll make Jimmy Kimmel’s situation about him.

I guarantee he’ll remind us that he’s the original victim for his 9/11 controversy, and that his fall opened up the ABC slot for Kimmel.

“We can do this the easy way or the hard way“ is ridiculously unprofessional language for a supposed public servant like Brendan Carr.

Even worse, any regime toady would cry and call the cops if someone said it to them in opposition.

It’s fitting that Andor is the last show I finished on Hulu/Disney+ before this Kimmel news. Service cancelled.
