And...I just got a nastygram from a Canadian professor of religion who has a "Free Palestine" thing on her profile because I dared to point out that Jeff Sharlet's recent work on hard right religion in the military was preceded by nearly 50 years by other works. 1/2

Someone on Facebook claimed that her father the English teacher gave her a copy of Shakespeare's plays when she was SEVEN and said "here is a good book, you should read it." The mere idea that kid just past Dick & Jane should read plays in what is basically another language is risible. Good Lord.

And this is what he would use to demolish the entire building and throw up an ugly hotel.

And you are now blocked. Bye, Felicia.

Who is pushing the idea of *Rahm Emanuel* as President????? He's not qualified and wouldn't even make it to the first primaries.

Did Amy Chua write =Hillbilly Elegy=? Genuinely asking.

I just watched the footage of the murder of Renee Nicole Good. I haven't felt this utterly sick since seeing the video of Ahmaud Arbery being blown away by the good ol' boys who'd stalked and hunted him down like a dog.

DUN3: NOW YOU SEE ME, NOW YOU DUNE'T.

Big difference between Dukakis going to the local fair to try to woo voters after he got the nomination and Reagan starting his whole damn campaign there. Double standards are thing, Skippy.

LOL! Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon. Y'all Chomskyites are morons.

And then there was the time that Duane Ingalls Glasscock, the alter ego of Boston DJ Charles Laquidara, locked himself in the control and played Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk" on continuous loop for several hours.....

It's all a bribe. Bari Weiss is an incompetent bigot.

A week after world leaders feted an obese drug addict for ‘Peace in the Middle East’ he casually speaks of displacing Palestinians and building condos in Gaza on a Fox News witch’s morning show. Y’all got played hard MSM.

Several hundred at the No Kings rally in Easthampton, a couple thousand at one in Northampton. Only dissenter I saw was an angry bald white guy with a beard who was waving a TRUMP 2028 sign, and boy did he get mad when I rolled down the window and said 'HE'S TERM-LIMITED." Cult member much?

Today's Bloom County:

Splitting the vote with Adams is not going to do either of them any good. The Democratic voters made it clear they don't want Cuomo anywhere near Gracie Mansion.

You know why the GOP is hellbent on passing that hideous bill? They know damn well that they are facing a bloodbath next November in the midterms.

They are coming for women's colleges over admitting trans students. Anyone who thinks the stop isn't going after women's colleges because they discriminate against men is deluding themselves. They hate women and will not stop, ever. www.gazettenet.com/Smith-receiv...

I have this horrible feeling SCOTUS is going to rewrite the 14th Amendment and let Trump end birthright citizenship.

WOW. So much for Cuomo's comeback.

Interesting Marist poll on the New York mayoral primary. It has Andrew Cuomo winning after seven rounds of ranked choice voting, which is not a surprise. What *is* a surprise is that Zohran Mamdani, the progressive darling, tops at a consistent 30-35% across all rounds. 1/2

Easthampton, Massachusetts (pop. 16,000), yesterday.

She's absolutely right.
