#EarlyMusic helps me cope with 21st century life.

Someday when Covid is just a dirty memory I will sing in a performance of Thomas Tallis’s 40-part motet “Spem in Alium” and I shall achieve nirvana.

Snobbish, and yet - it sure looks like purest celebrity suck-up theater that the Harvard administration asked her. And may quite possibly have contributed to her acquiring the swollen head that makes her think she speaks for the multitudes when she rants about gender.

A little wordy, maybe, but I could sorta imagine cross-stitching this one on a pillow or something. It’s a genuinely useful observation!

They actually did it. I didn’t think they would have the guts to do it, but what a fucking ending to the term. Unbelievable.

I’m banned from twitter for life for saying hung and hanged are two different words, so I can’t ask Vaughn Hilliard what the fuck he’s doing. What is his purpose in giving a national platform to a criminal whose stated goal is to destroy the US government?

God damn it. How did I ever miss this one? I knew about the DV calls that somehow never resulted in any charges, at least.

"Navarro is set to be released on July 17. This means both Navarro and Bannon will be behind bars during the Republican National Convention... Both men retained prison consultant Sam Mangel to help them have the best setup on the inside." Live life so that you never need a prison consultant.

I hope the IC rank and file gaslight those two fools completely out of (what’s left of) their tiny minds. And leave them exposed to the unforgiving world.

Imagine trying to write an inspiring speech for tired, bored, possibly drunk 22-yos after a decades-long career in the laboratory. Poor guy.

Libertarians, man. Who else would have the gormless presumption to conscript James Baldwin into the obsequies for some sociopath who drove a bulldozer into a CO town hall to protest against having to treat his own poop & not dump it in the local ditch? They’re high as a kite on their own supply.

I remember how shocked I was to read this document in the direct aftermath of Ferguson. I recognized not one of the American cops I’ve witnessed in my life in any of these principles. Not a single one.

NEW: DC board on professional responsibility recommends that Rudy Giuliani be disbarred: "No prior disciplinary cases involving frivolous litigation are remotely comparable to this case."

Case goes next to DC Court of Appeals for final judgment.

The Washington Post sat on the Alito upside-down flag story for 3 years because it didn’t seem political? Really?

And, by the way, I dipped into her adult detective series, rather against advice from some of my nearest and dearest, and they are tainted with the kind and intensity of hatred for sexual “deviance” that feels, well, unbalanced. Not to mention that I suspect the publishers didn’t dare to edit her!

Am wondering once again if Jo Rowling’s daughter ever took a fling at transitioning, and that’s why she just can’t shut up about how much she hates trans people, trans culture, etc ad nauseam. It’s virtually a conspiracy theory for her, from what I’ve seen. Would like to know how she got this way.

Definitely feel I’ve been in the presence of some surreal Americans, wading through some of these threads. And it’s doing a lot to blunt my disappointment that this place is not becoming a worthy successor to the bird place.

this is, like, a daily thing, and it's a malicious lie, and when called on it, the default response to it is that people believing it shows that there's some merit to it, and i don't even know how to *discuss* a problem that demands that you first agree that a lie feels true, let alone solve it

Quite ironically, we can probly blame loyal Nixon propagandist William Safire for the enduring overuse of the tag. He set out immedly to spoil the discourse by slapping it on a bunch of political nothingburgers even I have no memory of. Didn’t work out the way he wanted! (That’s in the wiki article)

Ok. Just thought it might be nice to state this for the record (since not all of us got to come home and watch the Watergate hearings after school).
