Pardon. I always fall asleep in those movies.

How many recommendations do you folks need?
Get up into this Baltimore tale. It's beautiful.

Show yourself out.

Apologies. I fall asleep in those movies.

I fall asleep during those movies. Apologies.

Last imagining, he was Jesus Christ.
Now, a Jedi warrior.

Speculate please on the next craven AI image of this gibbering moron that the White House will shit-fling onto the internet. Wrong answers only.

Everyone around me was singing.

As a Democrat, I now feel cleaner; vaguely ineffectual and in constant argument with every other Democrat, sure, but definitely cleaner.

Very much carrying that torch.

Caught Bruce Springsteen's homecoming show in Newark last night, part of a tour designed as a musical cavalcade of protest against the rise of American authoritarianism. I have to say that as a brash and sincere act of dissent, it was one of the most genuinely patriotic things I've witnessed.

Fat lot of good it does in this country right now.

Highways 61 and 49 above Clarksdale.

I went there at midnight, fell on my knees and asked the devil to let me play guitar like Johnson. Cloven-hoofed prick showed up half hour late, laughed, and made me a TV hack.

I’ve been to those crossroads in Mississippi where he sold his soul to the devil. Anything to get out out of that racist hellhole. 😘 No wonder the blues and rock and roll were born.

Discovery is going to be the most fun any working journalists can ever have.

If you love American music, this is monumental. The clarity on this discovered test pressing reveals Johnson's genius to an even greater degree than the '61 re-release of his 29 songs. You can hear the stabbing slide and delicate fingering on every string. Amazing.

Just getting up.

Are we destroying a civilization this fine morning or negotiating the same treaty we tore up? is the waterway open or closed? Or all of that in the same gibbering sentence?

They apparently didn't understand either. Every one I ever met called himself an A-rabber. The term has 19th Century origins more related to the nomadic/bedouin aspect of the roving trade than race. Certainly it's a term the men themselves embrace. The Arabber Preservation Society represents them.

Waiter, check please. I gotta go....

And fatuous shitheels are the lawn that gets mowed.

You are the happiest block of my week.
As soulless a creature as the internet can conjure.

Mayor Fiorello La Guardia reads Dick Tracy comics 1945 YouTube video by PublicDomainFootage

Best mayor of NYC in seventy.

Yes.

This conjures a memory of the best mayor NYC ever had. Here's the Little Flower, reading the funny pages to kids on the radio and loving his job as Mamdani clearly does.

Child: I know your name. Mamdani.

Obama: What’s his first name?

Child: Mayor.

That's exactly how it would begin to derail.
It would finally collapse in an argument over the lunch order.

We weren't alive for LaGuardia. But from everything I've read and seen, Mamdani has taken quite a few pages from the Little Flower.

Whether we can or not, we have no real choice but to try.

This was a simple reflection on decency and humanism.
Your reach-around non sequitur to make it about political efficacy says more about you and your inherent assholery than you think it does about anyone you are attempting to critique.
Fuck right off. Thanks.

Not available on streaming anywhere and I believe because music rights were never negotiated for that future platform. Available on DVDs from Time Warner.

If you watch this and then follow it with a viewing of our current president's recent disassociated rant to schoolchildren about Biden's autopen, well, you have a perfect microcosm of the steep American descent into ignominy.
