Any person who "gives" their Nobel Peace prize to appease a fascistic leader who is bombing other coutries unilaterally did not deserve to receive it in the first place.

"Jonathan Ross suffered internal injuries" is the new "Trump had half his earlobe blown off"

Is Will Trent the best network TV show? Brilliant season opener.

You know, if the ICE agent is arrested and charged with murder, he'll be found not guilty, right? That's because, as shown in so many Black muder-by-police cases, all the officer has to do is say he felt endangered and doesn't have to prove it. This is why police are usually not found guilty.

I really don't understand all the angst about MTV being put out of its misery by Paramount. MTV has been dead since at least the mid 90s. They just didn't know it yet.

d and only just watched part 2 of get back a couple of nights ago. And just holy shit the amount of talent in that room, and the way Paul and John played off of each other even while they were growing apart. And poor Goerge in the background looking like he felt left out. And Ringo just chillin'.

Five minutes after watching this weeks episode of The Simpsons, my wife came back into the room and said "Now I have the tune to The Pina Colada Song stuck in my but, but the lyrics are Hotel California." After humming a few lines, I said "Fuck it actually works, too!!" You're welcome.

Yet another reason I will never, ever own an Apple product. "Think different" was their old slogan. What was unsaid was "as long as you're not thinking about Windows or Amiga or Unix variants."

And Platner's media consultant and wannabe progressive kingmaker is Morris Katz, who worked on the Fetterman and Mamdani campaigns.

I'm trying to figure out what they're talking about with "deaths by landlord"

Yes, Aftyn Behn lost, but it was always a longshot. HOWEVER The small margin of vicotorey gives the GOP a pyrrhic victory at best. We have got to keep this momentum going!

yeah that about covers it

How many Palestinians did Hamas kill?

Wow I'm a serioyus pottymouth. No Regerts.

I wonder what the @profanity.accountant has to say for myself....

I know a biology prof at a Virginia college who devoted large portions of his course just teahing the kids how to write an essay and do proper sourcing. his standard reply to questions is "it's in the syllabus." And still they make excuses and ask dumb questions.

King's Hawaiian is everywhere in Maine. Well, all the Hannafords anyway. I think Arby's had some limited time sandwiches on King's Hawaiian a few years ago.

My first exposure to her was when my brother played the St Anne's concert CD for me. So damn good. (I knew about Broken English and that she hung with the Velvet Underground, but that was about it.)

Mainesky alert: If youre looking for a place to shop that's as local as it gets, Head over to Freeport and hit up Two Sisters in Maine, a shop full of lovely gifts made by Maine makers, including some cool tie dyes made by Yours Truly. Then head over to Freeport Market for more Maine made goods!

Thanks to ozempic (legitimately prescribed for diabetes) that's me after one small plate.

Still waiting for the "My best friends are Jews" shoe to drop.

So what is the word for that weird smell/taste/feeling in the head when you have a cold or sinus infection or whatever this is that I've got? I just call it sick-head but does it have an actual name?

Mine's 11, but some are . . . puzzling. ai bots trolls grifters? Chomsky Honks? Can anyone translate the German for me? Who is Edward Said?

the MBA and engineering clsses too? I mean, a masters in engineering is often required for an engineer seeking a PE certification (the P stands for . . . you guessed it)

Get Ready...

He need to be impeached again. BUT! NOT without first quietly polling the Senate to see if there is support for conviction. Because immpeachment is impotent without conviction. The problem with the first and second times was that the House leaders who pushed them knew there would be no conviction.

Mamdani actually really did poorly in his Mayoral run. therichwilkins.com/2025/11/20/m...

A word that needs a comeback.

I'll take "takes that get you blocked in seconds for $1000, Alex!

THIS! THIS! THISTHISTHISTHIS!! Real allies don't have to tell people they are allies.

Hmmmm . . . "Platner is also the proprietor and president of the Frenchman Bay Oyster Company, where he reported the value of his equipment as $50,000 to $100,000 and disclosed a business loan of between $15,000 and $50,000. But he did not report any income." www.sunjournal.com/2025/11/19/g...

"Why hello fellow gaming people. I will be playing a favorite Groyper game with some other players carefully selected for their diversity in order to show I am down with the smallest voting bloc on the electorate."

Just had a leftist at the Facey place -- who was wailing on and on about AIPAC and Graham Platner's step-brother -- tell me that conflating Zionism amd Judaism is anti-Semitic. Uh, whut? So all those ZionistJews are anti-Semitic because it's part of their identity? How ... what ... why ...?

Scary Monsters for me. London Calling The Wall The 52s (1st album)

I wish she wasn't, but yeah, the ingrained misogyny of the average US voter won't allow it.

So apparently not ALL the leftists in Maine are falling in love with Platner. "As a long-time socialist/feminist and historian of labor, I feel deeply torn — attracted in many ways to his progressive determination yet caught up by his . . . total lack of judgment." www.sunjournal.com/2025/11/15/m...

And, of course, zero evidence of any proof of him "working for" those people. He didn't. He just peddled his influence with anyone who would let him.

I just watched an episode of Wild West Chronicles about Stagecoach Mary Field. That woman needs a movie.

Sara Gideon was the speaker of the house, in her 40’s, & had an agenda focused on healthcare access, green energy, & campaign finance reform & lost by over 8. Gov. Mills is easily the strongest option in what’s 1 of the oldest states in the U.S.. Especially w/ Wood now running for Golden’s seat. 🤷‍♂️

All of this. Thank you.

My theory is that they are tossing out her name because she's dead and can't refute it.

"Democrats caved." No "Democrats" didn't cave, it was just seven (plus one independent who is centrist already). They didn't cave, they cared. They cared about the millions in danger of going without food because of a president who is determined to keep those starving from getting fed.

On top of which, they are now in the same class as the GOP who were also using the starving of children as pawns in their game.

I'm waiting for his excuse for not reconvening the House next week and continuing to refuse to swear in Rep. Grijalva.

So, y'all are ok with ensuring SNAP beneficiaries continue to starve and are blaming the entire Democratic Party for the actions of 7 (out of 47) Democrats and one Independent. Gotcha. I see your privilege.

So have the Republicans won ANYWHERE tonight? Think Republicans might be considering that maybe, just possibly, closing down the government right before an election was not a great idea? (Except Mike Johnson. He doesn't know anything about that. Or anything.)

So what are the chances that Mikey's looking at the results tonight and decides to fold? Slim, or none? (This presumes he actually knows about it, of course.)
