I would like to see Wolf Blitzer secure his legacy, eponymously foreordained, by storming the gates of the White House in rolled up shirtsleeves, wearing his tie as a headband, armed with a chest-mounted GoPro and a pocket Constitution.

I hope he's not the third, not because I think the idea is macabre or justified, it’s that I wouldn't want memories of the other two forever entwined in a trio with that abomination.

I didn't know that I would cry when I heard the news that Dolly Parton died. My grandparents took me to countless country and western concerts at county and state fairs in the '70s. I got to see just about every big name on the circuit, including Dolly (a couple times.) Condolences and gratitude.

Corrupt, Tr*mp-pardoned, former NYC mayor Eric Adams attempted to gaslight the overflowing crowd at our rural Wisconsin public library today as a hired mouthpiece for a proposed mega data center project. Was heartening to see that we weren’t the naive rubes and marks he was expecting. Nor partisan.

A close up of former NYC mayor Eric Adams gaslighting directly into the camera lens.

Corrupt former NYC mayor, Eric Adams, as he tells the crowd assembled in a public library theater [paraphrased] It's gonna happen whether you like it or not so you might as well just accept it.

Corrupt former NYC mayor Eric Adams listens on from the aisle after handing his gaslighting mic off to a formerly seated member of the community who is asking the foreign representative of the data center developer standing on the stage an informed question about the possible impact on local wells.

If you don't know about Don Walser, you oughta. A real deal cowboy mensch. I attended the Don Walser, Bad Livers, Butthole Surfers triple bill mentioned in the article by Bad Liver bassist Mark Rubin. Those lucky enough to be at the Austin Opry House that night still speak of it in hushed tones.

They've taken and gotten away with almost everything they want, yet to a person they're a miserable lot. Dour, scowling faces, all. They will never be satiated. Their greed, dishonesty and hatred has no bounds. What a profoundly shitty way to go through life.

If there's any justice left in the world (and in the unlikely event he doesn't expire before then) his sentence should include being launched headfirst into a windmill by a trebuchet while wearing a bird costume. We could sell tickets.

Elderly Hmong American citizen wearing no shirt, shorts, and crocs with a red/white checkered cloth draped over his shoulders is detained for not being white by a gang of ICE fascists in freezing temps in St Paul, later to be released because there was no cause other than the overt racism of the fascist invaders.

That the DNC voted against @benwikler.bsky.social while keeping @schumer.senate.gov as SDC leader tells me everything I need to know about how fecklessly they counter the seriousness of this moment. We the People are on our own in the defense of what's left of our democracy. Good luck, America.

RBG's 11th hour hubris erased her legacy by giving us Dobbs. Biden's 11th hour hubris erased his legacy by giving us Tr*mp 2.0. @schumer.senate.gov 's 11th hour hubris will erase democracy in America. A critical aspect of effective leadership is knowing when it's time to let someone else lead.

A noble effort by Jeffries but there is no ethical core left in the GOP to appeal to. MAGA is like that picture in Laura Palmer’s room. The better angels are gone.

Billionaires share half their $ with a divorce partner and don’t melt into a puddle. Seems reasonable that they could share at least an equitable percentage of what the average taxpayer pays to the IRS with a similar outcome, while benefiting the society that benefits them.
