Of course as everyone knows, all musicals are extremely gay. But WHY? It's thanks in part to a group of 1940s gays known as "Freed's Fairies." Their story in this week's Patreon bonus video, available now: patreon.com/mattbaume

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

So I'll still need help if anyone is able to help cover it. But I still can't change goal yet. But it's fixed at new place. I just can't get there yet
I'm going to cry. It's going to be almost $250 to fix Spectrum's fuck up.

Might be a long while until I can stream y'all.

I can't get it myself. I can't access my kofi to set new goal. Even then, not guaranteed.

We've been hearing this tired Reagan-era talking point for 45 years: "I don't want to pay for some undeserving stranger's insurance!"

You already are, bro. That's how private insurance works, too--you just pay a lot more and get a lot less with the private version.
Comer: "This is a fake economy. You can't have 1/3 of America receiving some type of free government healthcare and then have another 1/3 that's getting a subsidized rate. That falls on the final 1/3 that's having to pay increased premiums."

The Today Show is currently giving a credulous report on researchers maybe "discovering" Noah's Ark. Like, the one from the Bible. A breathless, big-if-true report in which the principle "researcher" is quoting Genesis and the reporter is acting like the biblical flood story is a factual account.

Part of me is surprised the Edmund Fitzgerald “only” sank fifty years ago.

Shipwrecks feel like a thing we should’ve solved by then.

(The Edmund Fitzgerald and Challenger disasters were only about a decade apart, for context.)
