In about 30 years, the HBO/BBC satire about the ruthlessness, stupidity, and naked ambition of The Worst People We Know all currently angling and circling behind the scenes to be next VP when the 20th or 25th is invoked will probably be very entertaining.

"Tents are very manly, and mortgages are for beta males," says a Fox News correspondent.

Circling back on this…

Robert McNamara's decaying corpse would still be better at his job than Pete Hegseth.

After a respite of 46, 47 is like 45 all over again but far worse because now he feels empowered and has a far more dangerous agenda and oh you meant age didn’t you.

in america you have several inalienable rights unless you poll badly with white suburbanites

This is next level! 💥

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

Oops 😬

So sad. Anyway...

How much do you wanna bet that the shitty diner my Dad used to frequent is merrily digging out of storage their cache of menu-placemats still calling them "Freedom Fries", "Freedom Toast," etc? (Presuming they ever stopped using them in the first place)

Me, whenever I see the latest from the orange twatspangler and Phony Stark.

Or, the people who will be implementing private corporations to replace the governmental orgs that the new administration is committed to destroying.

This is perfect explanation

Can we all stop pretending that they voted for him because of the price of eggs? That was merely the convenient excuse to avoid acknowledging that they just didn't want to be told what to do by a BIPOC woman.

Cut the "Daddy's Home" crap. He ain't Daddy, he's the lecherous uncle you wouldn't trust to be alone with your child and he's bringing along a bunch of his equally skeevy buddies.

David Lynch checking out right before America turns into a David Lynch movie... kewl kewl.

Don't fuck with the Woke Mob. We cancelled Anita Bryant so effectively that you all thought she died over a decade ago. We're that good.

So I heard from a reliable source that Anita Bryant spent her last years despondent because she was born 50 years too early and missed out on a lucrative career as a conservative media talking head brutally cancelled by the "Woke Mob." But apparently even Fox News assumed she was already dead.

Imagine you are Canadian and the President-Elect of the United States, a convicted criminal with an arsenal of nuclear weapons, just posted this:

My message to Zuck

I'd wish you all a #HappyNewYear but I think deep down we all know 2025's gonna land on us like...

Man, the 80's were wild. Will Smith raps about shopping for school clothes with his mom in one verse, and then in the next verse he steals his mom's Porsche, joyrides w/o a license, picks up a 12 yr old hooker, gets busted by the cops, and suburban white kids everywhere were all like, "relatable!"

SIMPLY HAVING A

Oh fun, all Meta platforms are experiencing difficulties today. I'm sure it's not an intentional damper on discussion of anything relevant in the news lately. It's just one of those things that happen... right? Right.

An intro - Used to be very active in regional/smaller theatre in DC, Boston, and my hometown. Two degrees, awards, etc. Between parenthood/COVID/divorce, haven't done a full production in 7 yrs. The scene changed a lot. It feels like the room got smaller (and younger) and there's no space for me.

I'm only passing familiar with the Smiths' oeuvre, but I amuse myself imagining "Vicar in a Tutu" and "Frankly Mr Shankley" as re-writes of "Girlfriend in a Coma" "Vicar in a tutu, the pope, the pope says blasphemous..." "Frankly Mr Shankley I fear, I fear, it's cancerous..."

I'm a big King Crimson fan, and I'm mourning Pete Sinfield, lyricist of their first 4 albums, ran their light show and played synth on their early 70's tours, also wrote and produced for ELP and Roxy Music plus many other credits. #RIP From his solo album "Soon", with Mel Collins & Keith Tippett.

Let’s see a show. Something light, no connections or relevance to current events…. Or not ;-)

And in other news, he announced the appointment of Max Bialystock and Leopold Bloom as co-chairs of the National Endowment of the Arts.

What timeline is this where I'm almost nostalgic for Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld?

Leaked Cabinet interview: "Where do you see yourself in five years?" "Uh... disgraced and unemployable?" "Try again." "Facing federal charges?" "Think bigger." "Facing a firing squad?" "YOU'RE HIRED!"

Will someone explain why I should rely on BlueSky as my Twitter Methadone instead of Threads? Fewer billionaires in charge?
