My oldest now refers to Sting as “Commissioner Gordon.”
Feels like a parenting win.

Jeff Van Drew switched from Dem to GOP. His opponent, Amy Kennedy, should pound his turncoat ass into the ground. Help her do so by donating: amykennedyforcongress.com
I just gave her $15. Anyone want to match me?

Elise Stefanik is, and always will be, human garbage.

COVID-19, Day 165
Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison, and Myles Cosgrove still have not been arrested for the murder of Breonna Taylor. It’s been 166 days.
The cop that shot Jacob Blake three days ago in Kenosha has not been arrested.
Last night, an armed white kid in Kenosha shot three protesters, killing two of them, and the cops gave him a bottle of water. He has not been arrested. [Update: his name is Kyle Rittenhouse, he’s 17, and he’s been arrested.]
Meanwhile, the RNC continues to commit rampant violations of the Hatch Act, but Mark Meadows says “nobody outside the Beltway really cares.” Laws mean nothing to the GOP and they don’t care if you know it.
America stands on the brink of total annihilation and final fascist ascendency. Odds are good they’ll succeed. Then the future will be worse than most imagine, and it‘ll rival anything in the 20th Century. Dismiss this warning at your peril. They’ll eventually come for you too.

Fires in California, Oregon, Colorado. A category 4 hurricane headed for the Texas/Louisiana border. Ongoing civil unrest due to unchecked racial injustices. A pandemic out of control. Rising authoritarianism coupled with voter suppression. This summer has been the most chaotic I’ve seen in my lifetime and I desperately want it to end.

Kimberly Guilfoyle is a laughingstock.

On a long enough timeline, Hollywood-Batman is just going to start executing people for jaywalking.
COVID-19, Day 163
Had to take a break for a little bit. Lots of IRL stuff eating up my time. Good stuff, though! Which is nice for a change. Also, I was seriously burned out on the news.
Word from the kick-off of the Republican National Convention is that Grandpa Shouty’s tone during his acceptance speech has GOPers freaked out.
A senior GOP strategist, who is not a "Never Trumper" and often gives the president the benefit of the doubt, tells me: "If what we just heard is a preview of the President's message for the week, he loses and we lose. We can kiss the Senate goodbye if the tone doesn't change."

This is great. Keep it up! The Dems taking back the Senate? You love to see it.

More than 20 years later and I still can’t listen to Load by Metallica without serious consternation. Same for Reload. This is not the thrash metal I signed up for.
