Hey, fellow Tennesseeans don’t ignore this shit. www.reddit.com/r/Tennessee/...

I do not like that man named Trump I do not like his bloated rump I do not like his greedy stare His golf, his crimes, his processed hair I do not like his petty schemes Or how he haunts the nation's dreams I do not like him, not at all - A neon ego on the wall

Shrove Tuesday Pancakes in the church rectory Our family always brought real Vermont maple syrup to the southerners (Maryland) once a year, just try’n to spread the love Anyway, I still love simple… simply getting to know someone who is far from simplistic Gris Gris is walking me there

youtu.be/ijZUoSsnRPU?... As a staunch atheist, I still approve of this pancake day.

My man here even using chopsticks here (no matter how well) demonstrates the desire to remain refined & cultured whilst still shoveling delicious fishy bits into his face while STANDING UP and not soiling his clothes. Be prepared. 🤘🏻 www.reddit.com/r/CannedSard...

Black Joy. Latino Joy. Queer Joy. BATHE ME IN ALL OF IT PLEASE AND THANK YOU. Fuck these humorless, joyless, bitter, hateful straight white supremacist bigots. They're boring, they're cringe, they have no idea how to truly have fun. Long live diversity! Long live joy in all its forms!

I can't pick a favorite but I would watch this movie over and over in the late 80s and 90s

The Crying Game

You guys are familiar with the terms “known and unknown knowns”?

Back when elno was just a twinkle in big oranges beady eyes, I used to get a little loopy & post music links, for fun, whether anyone listened, cared or not. Somehow, despite what an absolute shitstorm our entire world seems to be because of him, I am optimistic today. youtu.be/9znhqjGwH2w?...

A new edition of Edward Said's "Representations of the Intellectual" is out. Free link: archive.ph/2026.01.21-0... In his lectures, Said examines the motivations for thinkers, commentators and teachers… the ways in which they serve knowingly and unknowingly certain national or corporate interests.

Hanging in there

No lies detected

You’ll notice the same American state media that relentlessly attacked President Biden over his age as he did good work are normalizing a nearly 80 year old dangerous criminal as he displays clear signs of dementia whilst trying to destroy the world. They have failed humanity.

I realize that people have opinions about Bob Dylan. Whether you like his nasal intonations or not, whether you think he’s a total asshole (he’s professed that aplenty), his atonal whinge, harmonicatorture… You’ve got to admit, he nailed writing this love song. I dig it. youtu.be/aFiUW0jWVXY?...

Rarely one to bitch about anyone’s looks, but Bruno Mars needs to wipe off that Richard Penniman pencil moustache and never consider bringing it back. Is this the petty hill I must now encamp, awaiting my demise?

I just read that English muffins were once marketed as a “toaster crumpet” and now I have a vision for a tramp stamp.

The first full album I’ve listened to in 2026. I love the frenetic energy on these tracks. Like every song is a hairs breadth away from falling completely apart but manages to hold it together, despite the influence of psychedelics and booze, through the power of the soul music that influenced it

Channeling “Humpty” for a moment? Current nom de plume: “Dusty Gooch”. (See the Gold Bond Powder?)

Adding nine to my list.

I’m not one to lean towards conspiracy theories, but… word?

Nice!

400 years ago, a ship carrying Irish servants ran aground off Cape Cod. These were some of the first Irish to set foot in New England and they immediately set about hanging lace curtains and saving parking spaces with lawn chairs

About to drink my blues until they drown.

Fucking-A right.

This man is someone I feel confident in likening to my great childhood hero, Mr. Fred Rogers. Theists? Perhaps, but humanists absolutely. This is the way. “Champagne socialism” is easily & obviously achievable. Find good things. Share with friends. Not too much!

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

Probably the best Christmas story you'll read this year. At a time when it can feel like selfishness and greed are winning, some people are showing a better way.
