I’m tired of kvetching about the heat, and until it lets up, I won’t stop. And about my work hours, which mostly keeps me away from the site during the week. And about my emaciated bank account. And about how absolutely stupid my fellow citizens, who elect the jackboots, have become. And… fuck it, we had the Zozobra burning gloom last night.

But there are birthdays, many birthdays, including a guy who would be canceled today; a very literate bullshit artist; a guy whose death is remembered by four minutes and 33 seconds of silence; a piece of shit who embarrasses actual pieces of shit by what a piece of shit he was; a terrifically understated hilarious comedian; creator of the biggest and yet most forgotten scam in my lifetime; a guy who impregnated every one of my in-my-20s fantasy women; and one more guy who was not Batman.

Now for some news, one way or another.

 

I like how the headline assumes it’s true. But really, there’s a worse scandal.

 

This is why (((we))) can’t have nice things.

 

Not everything stupid and pointless is “Un-American.”

 

They don’t even pretend.

 

I think it’s antisemitism.

 

What the actual fuck????

 

Old Guy Music is… well, I promised I wouldn’t do Tool again, so in theory, I’m sticking to it. H/T to Warty.
