Big weekend coming up, away game on the bus and I'll be trying to keep pace with the young team. As the man said, I have had my fun if I don't get well no more, & getting to the age where any one of these hurrahs might be my last. Not just yet though. youtu.be/VxYl2UFIgVQ?...

I mean it's not a beat I would wish on anyone, but you have made the most of it. In the interest of editorial balance, was "doddering old mummy with a skull full of dumpster juice" you? That stuck with me. Cheers anyway.

Ah sorry that was Burnenko I guess.

Legendary stage, where titans of comedy have strode (strided? stridden?)

I used to think that when you said this kind of stuff it was just a disarming, engaging little bit of self-deprecation to let us all know that you weren't taking yourself too seriously. "Surely there is gold in the posts of someone like this" I said,& really dug in. Well there's no easy way to say t

I always assumed it was a conscious choice to pander to a highly motivated base of maniacs in a country where most people in the "middle" stay home anyway. Look at me, I'm James Carville now.

The answer to a question that should never have been asked.

@davidjroth.bsky.social is, and has been for years, the only source I trust when it comes to news of What Is Going On In Trump's Head, and he has been trying to find new ways to say the same thing for almost 10 years or so, I think. And he still does! That's talent, right there, I tells ya.

Are you doing a gig at the VFW hall?

When I read The Book of Laughter and Forgetting as a young man, I didn't understand the line “The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting” but I do now. Fuck, do I ever.

Sorry for not really doing the thing but Grant Green and Walter Becker and Johnny Marr but the person I saw live most recently who blew me away was Wayne Krantz and now the 55 Bar is gone and everything sucks. Thank you for listening. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmqj...

So many names, so many cops doing the same shit over & over & all my life there's been fuckall done about it. Names from the 70s, 80s, if I say them to my (ahem) demo in the bar, I get a blank stare. You know who they remember and get mad about in New Jersey still? Assata Shakur. Still mad. Good.

All my life there's been nothing but talk from every city hall and congress and white house, when they even bother to talk. Insult to injury.

Mr. Am I Being Detained

He was so tiny, with such a huge head. Little double breasted suits, pleated pants up the neck, hard as fuck.

It's a slow creep, people mostly just adjust because they have things to lose they care about more than becoming martyrs. I never want to get tested on that level myself.

Michael Griffith, 1986, I was like "WTF, NYC in 1980 fucking six and people are just going to shrug about a lynching?" In my lame defense I was young and thought surely people were better than this, hahaha me Yusef Hawkins, Amadou Diallo, Patrick Dorismond, fuck me people just forget everything.

Goneril, I mean Regan, no dammit, Cordelia! Stop that!

Things have changed but back when you had to actually physically go to Las Vegas to bet on sports, I felt the same way about all the ads for the bookies when I turned on the TV in the UK. Now the USA has that too, can't say this place does not innovate all the way down when there's buck to be made.

Mr. Am I Being Detained

Every time it's on the menu, for sure.

Absolutely hear you.

Taking my limp, damp, crusty fursuit to the dry cleaner and asking them to "get the badussy out"

Nose eyes and mouth all huddling together, terrified of sliding off the edge of his flat earth ass face and into the abyss.

Fully traumatizing someone else so that it sticks sounds like a lot of work, and I am lazy, so probably many potential victims of mine are blissfully unaware how close they came. Seriously though I do not discount trauma but life is big and not every instant of it sucks, at least I hope not.

"How he got into my pajamas I'll never know"

Serious? Ah man, if they're coming for the shitposters now I better get my papers ready to cross the border when I hear a knock at the door.

How I long for those innocent days.

One time in my life I was on the Goldman Sachs jet with Hank Paulson & while it was fascinating for a scumbag like me to see that world for a minute, and educational, it did not inspire me to strive to be part of it. They treated the smartest person in the room (my then boss) like shit. Meritocracy.
