This is one of my favorite Youtube videos of all time, not just because of the Village People intro but also because Rupert Holmes was so coked out he tucked his sport coat into his pants.

I haven’t seen any of that. For me, Youtube music is almost exactly like Spotify experience-wise.

Huh? I’m agreeing with you completely - I mentioned the House vote to help illustrate why Harris can’t go hard against the Israel lobby.

Undisenfranchised.

He spent his entire life gaining power. He didn’t want to give it up.

I’ve always been mystified by people that old wanting to cling to power. I’m a generation younger than Biden and I mainly just want a nap.

The 269 - 144 House vote barring the State Department from even reporting Gaza death statistics should make it clear to anybody how powerful the Israel lobby is.

Inclusion of yt music was the thing that kept me on the subscription

Same here. I was struggling to get the ad blockers to work consistently, so I said fuck it and canceled Spotify and subscribed to Youtube. FWIW YT music does a much better job of choosing random music that I like; Spotify just plays the same shit over and over again.

Who had the power to shoot a man in the face while drunk and have him apologize for being shot.

Ha ha “many” followed by one guy.

They’re all co-ed. Co-ed is short for “co-educational” and long ago became a synonym for “female student” when they were first admitted to formerly all-male colleges under programs labeled co-educational. That’s why “co-ed sorority” is redundant and a phrase I’ve never in my life heard anyone use.

To me he quite obviously says “co-ed”

Maybe, except there’s no reason to say “co-ed sorority” since all sororities are co-ed by definition - I’ve never before heard anyone say “co-ed sorority”. That’s also what makes “college sorority” unlikely (sororities are almost always associated with college), leaving “colored sorority” as the most reasonable interpretation.

When I started driving a school bus I would wave to everyone driving a vehicle that requires a CDL, thinking we were all part of the same brotherhood. Turns out we’re not, unless giving the middle finger is a brotherhood of sorts.

Since the fucking Boer War. It was old technology by the time WWI started.

That’s all they’ve ever had to do.

It would be technically more accurate if they’d landed on top of a 200-foot-high layer of dead tree trunks, but that would be pretty tough to draw in cartoon style.

pinhead

Ironically enough, the guy that does Zippy the Pinhead just released a graphic novel format biography of Ernie Bushmiller.

I was relaxed about politics through the '90s because we had a Democrat president, a budget that was not just balanced but had an actual fucking surplus (there were actual debates about what to spend the surplus on), and a vice president that looked like a sure shot to continue control of the white house and who actually understood technology and was concerned about the environment. And then I woke up the morning after the 2000 election and realized what a complete shit show our country had become.

I dunno, I lived in Louisiana when Republican Bobby Jindal (of Indian descent) was governor and the hardcore conservatives didn’t have any problem with him. Conservatives can generally turn off their racism when it suits them (like they do for Clarence Thomas as another example), which I think makes it even more abominable.
