Love it: the night after he was kicked off of CBS for good, Stephen Colbert hosted a public access show in southeast Michigan.

This Australian knows what’s up in the giant yaw of Amerikkkan politics and he uses perfect language to tell us what’s what. "The richest prick on Earth describing the American electorate as livestock to be lured with a million-dollar parsnip.” ifloz.substack.com/p/the-plot-t...

"This is not a settlement. This is a Mafia transaction conducted on government letterhead. This is the consigliere walking into the boss’s house, sitting at the kitchen table, and saying capo, the tax thing is handled, pass the gravy.” substack.com/home/post/p-...

In 1952, Richard Nixon's career was nearly derailed by revelations that he had access to a slush fund of $18,000 -- less than a quarter million today." People used to give a shit about that kind of thing, you see.

I’ve been a nonfiction ghostwriter since 2009, when I left a position as a senior editor at the Harvard Business Review. This article is a worthy read about the practice. www.theatlantic.com/books/2026/0...?

There is much more light and life in the world than the darkness the media feed you. look around. love is everywhere. And watch “Harold and Maude,” please.

Everyone around me is a critic. Critics, as Oscar Wilde once quipped, "know the price of everything and the value of nothing.” Wouldn’t it be nice if someone inquired before verbally shooting first? "why did you feel you need to do that?” instead of “this is completely wrong.” Honestly!!!

Goodnight, Amurka. F**k you, POTUS, SCOTUS, and all Republi-cons, forever. What a greedy, amoral, nihilistic, murderous lot you all are. Here is what St. Paul had to say about it ‘way back in the 70s. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPIg...

Years ago, i did a Joni Mitchell Tribute night. The 3rd song here, “Fiddle and the Drum,” was written as a breakup song from Canada to the U.S. Pretty prescient, she has always been. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYpJ...
