BEND YOUR KNEES (for NPR's Tiny Desk contest) live at Southgate Roller Rink - Henry Mansfield YouTube video by Henry Mansfield

This is fantastic and so joyful and I can’t stop watching it. youtu.be/GoKjHDdHtYc?...

Dale Cooper and Harry Truman. 😔

Also, the Bulwark is run by Republicans. You don’t need to post and amplify their right leaning garbage either.

A few years ago I picked up Jeff Parker’s Mondays at the Enfield Tennis Academy and then later the follow up, The Way Out of Easy. Which led me to the @intlanthem.bsky.social catalog and I just don’t have enough money to buy all the LPs I want from them. Already spent over $200 this year 😬

Christmas ornaments of Mariner and Boimler from the animated Star Trek series Lower Decks. Mariner is holding a phaser, Boimler a tricorder. Both are in “red shirts” attire.

LOWER DECKS! LOWER DECKS!

Five acts I’ve seen at least five times:
The National
The Decemberists
X
Redd Kross
Greg Dulli

One of my favorite records of the new century. Absolutely love this record and go back to it constantly.

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

Oh man. Love them. Two faves:
Convoy
Harper Valley PTA

So which is it? Or do you consider a “power grab that threatens the health of our democracy” a distraction, like the rest of leaders of your party?

Slightly diminish a band:
The Mighty Bosstones.

Close up shot of Kotaro the otter with a round watermelon rind in his head being held up by his owner, who is wearing a Kotaro t-shirt.

2 million YouTube views counts as a celebrity, right?

And a new Running Man. From the trailers both look pretty close to the original books.

Superbrothers Sword&Sworcery - gorgeous adventure game with an amazing soundtrack by Jim Guthrie.

Simogo games: Year Walk (along with the companion app) - story by exploration game, Sayonara Wild Hearts - killer rhythm game, and, especially, Device 6 which best experienced with no info going in.

I have no words for how excited I am for this.

Vyse and Aika standing on the deck of the sky ship Delphinus.

Yep. Absolutely. Still talks like the person who ran his administration based on queues from Morning Joe.

70s/80s SoCal we called them thongs. Only in the last 20 years have I called them flip flops.

With the way they frame stories about this admin, I’m never donating to NPR again. They’re poison at this point.

Just a few games away from Dodger pitching coach Mark Prior running up into the stands asking, “Is there a pitcher in the house? We need a pitcher!”

Depends. Are we talking about a dance off?

Dieter Ruehle trolling the not-from-anywhere-near-Los-Angeles Angels at Dodger stadium by playing the theme from The OC is A+.

Wasn’t sure about Murderbot from the trailers. My brain had SecUnit as more androgynous. And the Skarsgård narration wasn’t working for me, too goofy.

But it all absolutely works in the first ep. Genuine laugh out loud moments throughout. Skarsgård nails the awkwardness.

Really enjoyed it.

Also, the Bulwark is run by Republicans. You don’t need to post and amplify their right leaning garbage either.

Hey y’all. Just like with Chris Cillizza, there’s no reason to repost whatever bullshit Eric Lipton is on this week. It’s easy enough to just note he’s a dipshit carrying water for his workplace and the current administration and move on.

Go away narc.

Did someone write and schedule these posts in December ‘24 and forget to update them before they posted?

Hey! Serious question for the social media team running this account? Did someone write and schedule these posts in December ‘24 and forget to update them before they posted? May want to look into that!

How Senate Democrats Can Shut Down Trump's Agenda with Procedural Hardball

SECOND: FREEZE THE SENATE.

Call on your Dem senators to engage in political hardball. Blanket opposition and using procedural tools like rejecting unanimous consent and quorum calls to gum up the works.

One thing that might help, and I don’t know if they’ve tried this yet, but the democrats could send an email to their mailing list explaining how outraged James Carville is and asking if we can donate money.
