Folks, that's the buzzer and the final score is Blink 182, Eve 6. What a sorry spectacle this has been. Easily the most lopsided contest since Eiffel vs. Maroon

There's a world on the other side of this with a huge, vibrant, unionized and high-paying industrial base remaking the physical world for the post-fossil fuel age. It's already starting and I think even Trump can't *fully* destroy it, but he can slow it down and make us lag wayyy behind.

Thanks largely to Biden and the Democratic party there is now a kind of global race to get to the mass, chear carbon-free energy. We're going to hit peak global emissions (fingers crossed) this year or next. We're deploying solar at a level that blowing away every single prediction.

In retrospect, the NYT Spelling Bee’s blithe refusal to care about words that are in the dictionary should have struck more word nerds as symptomatic.

Here in sudden swing state Georgia, at least, Dem PACs (and the Biden campaign itself) ARE doing that. I've been seeing a LOT of DICTATOR/FELON/RAPIST/SCAMMER commercials. GOP PACs are only just now reacting with INFLATION ad buys

It remains odd to think shouting at *anyone* is an effective way of winning their vote. Notice how Democrats never yell at White, suburban, swing-voting moms to get over themselves and do the right thing? You’d almost think the question is whom we think *deserve* to be campaigned for, and not *at*.

Because it's our cultural ways that are our actual survival tools at this stage of fascism. Even how we always privilege beauty & joy no matter how hard it gets. And our preservation as a community is paramount due to the severity of the particular threats to us now.

Dingdingding. The media would have tried to reflate the Conservative Party one more time if the Labour Party had proposed “Corbynism without Corbyn,” but I’m not sure it would work again

The UK election results are grimly hilarious. Post-purge Starmer Labour didn’t inspire *any* net new voters. The just stood around reaping the windfall of the Tory collapse. Meanwhile, the group that really improved its performance was the far right. (You can see why I say, “grimly.”

Why do a lot of hot dogs come in packages of eight now but buns don’t typically come in packages of six?

If Faust were alive today, they would have given him anti-depressants instead of letting him ruin the life of an underage girl and then murder an old couple who lived in the path of his property development -- because of woke!

Which one? The quote is a Hill Street Blues reference. At Unfogged, I only posted a few times as “Meekins,” which was the name of a very minor villain in an installment of Rick Brant Science Adventures, a long-forgotten series of books for boys.
