Some nights only Sufjan will do.

This is such a night.

“The Upper Peninsula” from the album “Michigan.”

Within a few months, the number of Trumps in the White House is going to be down to zero.

And once that happens there better GAWDDAMNGUARANTEEYOU be a .gov site, wherein every single internal White House communication during the Trump regime (that doesn’t imperil ongoing intelligence operations) is made accessible to the general public.

There will be no reconciliation until all their mendacity is laid bare for all to see.

This I hereby decree.

Looks like Biden's doing well on the electronic voting machines.

Some voters also have concerns about the technology.

"I personally cannot read the bar code, so I'm having to trust the system," said Melissa Rose.

It was a concern shared by the League of Women Voters of South Carolina, but co-President Christe McCoy-Lawrence says the group is putting it aside to focus on voter turnout.

"We feel now that one of the greatest dangers comes from people losing faith in the voting process," she said. "So we did not agree with this decision, but it's made, so we are now completely engaged in conveying confidence in the system."

Methinks the Irish are not all that enamored with Donald Trump...

“Trump dances like a sexy pile of cheese in his Take on Me-style video

The US president, flickering like an alt-right Morten Harket, appears like a lovable savant

Patrick Fryne

A pencil drawing of Donald Trump emerges from the white void. He is fully dressed, in his trademark suit and red crotch cloth (his tie), though, given what the film-makers are going for here, I feel as if he should be wearing nothing but a short belly top, like Winnie-the-Pooh.

Indeed, we learn over the course of the 40-second animation retweeted by the president that Trump, flickering in and out of pencilled reality like an alt-right Morten Harket, is a lovable and inspiring savant.

Uplifting piano and strings play as he says inspiring things. The film- makers should get credit for finding them, really, amid the bizarre non sequiturs, coded bigotry, uncoded bigotry and glitching computer code that usually erupts from his puckered beak (lips) or his digital hindparts (Twitter)...”


Much more at the link - scathing and well-written.

Philip K. Dick was a wild-eyed optimist.

Holy shit do we find ourselves in dystopia.

Hang on everybody! Every tyrant falls and the majority of people have love in their hearts and the greater good in their minds.

Ignore the howls of those who would discourage us, and keep a keen ear open for those who inspire.

Greed is no match for Love.

I wonder what The Magistrate would have made of the whole Kavanaugh debacle.

He always had such keen insight into all things judicial.

Is his honor still amongst us?

"Don't get me wrong. There are bright spots: separating screaming children from their mothers,

...alienating all of our long-term allies, the destruction of whole government agencies designed to protect the well-being of our citizens, increased income for the richest among us and more. But these successes have come despite — not because of — the president’s leadership style, which is impetuous, adversarial, petty and ineffective.”
