The crowd had a Thursday afternoon Tampa Bay Rays game feeling about it.

I foresee a day when the humanoid robots strike for equal status with the designed-for-the-purpose robots.

The unspoken message is, "You don't have enough National Guard to suppress this." Or as the Incredible Hulk says, "You wouldn't want to see me when I'm angry."

It would be the gang from Andor and honestly I wouldn't be that optimistic. They don't even have the robot yet.

The Republican message is clear: If you skin is darker than a brown paper bag then you're not the senator of anything.

This is the honest, 100% literal truth: You will see more opportunistic violence in Los Angeles when the Lakers win a championship than you saw this week.

". . . And the soldier had little pink wings and he flew around and around and around and . . . excuse me, I've been drinking from Hegseth's canteen."

The settlement policy only makes sense as a campaign to drive Palestinians out of the West Bank, but I seriously any neighboring is going to be willing to accept them. I think in the end it's going to be a confederation of some kind, if only because it's the only thing that's left.

I swear between this and the vanity parade and the insulting performance at West Point the ranks have got to be thinking Trump is the biggest pain in the ass in history. It's not Art of the Deal, its Art of the Shit Detail.

I think nonviolent is a much better term. Blocking a public thoroughfare has an obvious character of aggression.

I just hope and pray that we get back to the point where we can assume the American spy is the good guy.

In one place it's an insurrection. If it happens everywhere they go it's a muscular national protest movement. Does it look like a show of force or a generator of chaos? Maybe centering the campaign where it was sure to generate a reaction wasn't such a neat idea after all.

Similar 70s MOR redeemed by Leo Kottke. True Minnesota soul. He has Mel Blanc on the radio.

Classic punk cover. Make sure you hang in for the punchline.

"Afternoon Delight" advanced the Sexual Revolution by making casual sex hokey.

In the Bible, St. Paul is getting ready to flee Rome when he has a vision of Jesus heading the opposite way. "Where are you going?" Paul asks. Over his shoulder Jesus says, "To be crucified again!" So Paul heads back. I think this is what the ghost of Medgar Evers would like to do.

More likely they'll try to boot seniors who are still working off Social Security. Like me, for instance.

I used to figure the way Woody Allen got the casts he did because it was a rare opportunity play a human being rather than a movie character (and they weren't good judges of scripts). With Anderson it might be more free trip to Europe for a day's work. And the scripts are better.

Not so goddamned often anyway. When I do a shift in-office I feel like Fish in Barney Miller.

Trumpism is a full-scale revolt against the idea that white people have anything to be ashamed of and minorities have anything to be proud of.

A big part of this is that these Brownshirts are just not very professional.

There are a lot of ICE agents who are going to have huge gaps in their resumes and when interviewers press them on what they were doing all that time they will say they were selling fentanyl.

I recall Ellison shoving a copy of Stanley Ellin's The Eight Circle into my hands at the Mysterious Bookshop lo those many years ago.

I think these three journals suing Kennedy into the stone age is in everyone's best interests, since the stone age is apparently where Kennedy wants to be.

I looked up Hotel Terminus on Amazon. There was a banner on the top promoting a new series called "Earnhardt". This is either strange serendipity or a sardonic algorithm.

Junior High School is the Waiting Room. It's like if you wanted to be a naval officer and they won't even let you be a midshipman yet. All it does is confirm you're not a little kid anymore.

Rushdie might have seen your point of view, but unfortunately it happened to be standing on the side of his missing eye. If he still had it he would clearly have seen that the Harper's Letter you have so deep under your skin was 100% equivalent to his assailants.

If the media can be finding fault with the Democrats, easy-peasy, if it must be finding fault with the Republicans very iffy, and if it meant finding fault with the media itself, not in a million years.

If any attempt to confiscate personal weapons would be quickly quashed by an armed citizenry fighting back then why are they so worried about the movement to confiscate personal weapons?

I was just watching Madigan, a Richard Widmark crime picture from 1969 where amazingly the detective contacts police headquarters from a phone booth and takes a carbon copy of a crime report.

They also really don't seem to meet the physical fitness standards for professional law enforcement.
