There's no sugarcoating brute intimidation and violence but the reality is, it's not a path to victory for him. They either lose or it's civil war, this guy does not have the juice to successfully consolidate power at this point.

What's up with all of the Peyronie's disease ads on podcasts all of a sudden? Did Squarespace and Blue Apron run out of money?

"I have HAD IT with these motherf--king bunnies on this motherf--king train!"

I just went to buy a font and on the download page it said "In Stock." Do they occasionally run out of downloads?

Can't they just borrow their feelings?

I have an all-new show tomorrow, but I have to pre-record. So if YOU have a request, "queue up early," as Phil Musick used to say. Call 412-385-7450 tonight and leave a voicemail with your request, send a voice clip to [email protected], or post 'em here.

#Amtrak has promised to get back to me in 3-5 days about my complaint, "which is about how long they left us waiting in Chicago Union Station," according to my wife As we were disembarking in Pittsburgh — where, remember, people also had been waiting to board […] [Original post on union.place]

Hey, kids ... no live show today. I'm still stuck in Chicago on the Mickey Mouse Express. Instead, from 12 to 3 p.m. today on WRCT 88.3FM https://www.wrct.org and Tube City Online Radio https://www.tubecityonline.com/radio , it's the show I did June 17 from […] [Original post on union.place]

For Christ's sake, tomorrow is the fourth of July, and we will be open for business!

So here's the deal ... if Amtrak (motto: "You'll get there eventually, probably") cooperates and returns us to Pittsburgh before 12 noon tomorrow, we'll have a live show on July 4. If not, you may get a rerun. Place your bets!

BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court in a narrow decision rules the U.S. Constitution is constitutional; Thomas, Alito, Kavanugh and Roberts dissent, saying they would strike down the nation's founding documents. More news any moment. #SCOTUS

I'm reading this story about the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping, and my God. "Citizen journalism" is horseshit and click-driven social media was a bad idea; the sooner we kill it, the sooner we can rebuild society from the ashes https://archive.ph/L8inx#selection-1793.288-1793.574

IANAL, but it seems to me that by Alito's rationale, if poll workers don't finish counting all ballots by 11:59:59 p.m. on Election Day, I guess they can throw any remaining votes out. Which I suppose is a feature, not a bug. The American right views ordinary Americans with contempt. They're […]
