Monday Stuff


OK, I’m going to try and get this thing going once more...to start, Tennessee Brando gives us his take on this Tyler Robinson life form who (allegedly) shot Charlie Kirk...and leave it to that utter loon Nancy Mace to dive head first into the completely WRONG conclusion...also, leave it to Baby Goebbels to use Kirk’s killing as YET ANOTHER excuse to dump on everyone and everything he decides to whine, pout and cry over – like I’m supposed to actually be afraid of an execrable pissant like Miller (apparently various right-wing nematodes are trying to build up some angle about Robinson having a trans roommate and THAT's the reason he supposedly shot Kirk...GMAFB!)...and boy, is Brando right about this moment being more of a “tell” on the wingnuts than both Trump elections, January 6th, etc., and kudos to Jasmine Crockett (and I totally agree with Brando’s sentiment that the best we can do is just take care of one another, since we definitely won’t reach the wingnuts, on the matter of Kirk’s death or anything else really)... and to support what Brando says, I thought this was a particularly good related column (NSFW/H)...



...and Brian Tyler Cohen and Glenn Kirschner give us their analysis on what resulted from the Kirk shooting....even though I was away from this for a little bit, I definitely took note of the revisionist history out there about Kirk, and it was all I could do not to utterly retch...Cohen and Kirschner talk about how Crazy Eyes Kash Patel has bungled the investigation that has led us to a suspect in the shooting (Kirschner, in his commendable deliberate fashion, makes a hell of a lot of compelling arguments IMO as to why Patel has absolutely no business holding his current position in this clown car circus of an administration)...NSFW/H also...



...and Yasmin Khan of Rebel HQ discusses more of the consequences of Repug “governance” in her home state, which The Eternal Molly Ivins once called “the national laboratory for bad government”...I’ll admit that the Texas Tribune skews in a progressive direction, but I don’t hear or see anyone contradicting their facts about the overall rotten quality of life in the “Lone Star State” and how that’s impacting hospitals and universities since people from other countries don’t much want to come here to study any more, and those students and professors currently there are looking to bail out because of “All Hat, No Cattle” Greg Abbott, Ken Paxton, Dan Patrick, and other right-wing grifters (especially in “the land of the yellow rose”)...oh, but OF COURSE The Ten Commandments need to be displayed in public school classrooms (SMDH)...



...and Mike Figueredo of The Humanist Report takes a deeper look at people around the world reacting with horror to our slide into an autocracy, including an audience following a German YouTuber, as well as some folks “across the pond” (and NHS isn’t perfect – nothing is of course – but it was fine for us when we needed it)...oh, and here comes a shocker (not) – the modern-day Nazi party thinks Bronzer Beelzebub is a-OK...and no, Mike, not every person in this country has turned into an “ape-brained MAGA dipsh*t,” though it does seem like it at times, and I totally agree that the ascent of fascism is a result of late-stage capitalism...I’m not quite as fatalistic as Figueredo, but I definitely understand his point of view (another NSFW/H segment)...



...and I’ll admit that I’m a little behind on the news cycle with this video from Mr. Newberger where he commendably IMO gets a little serious, but I definitely think it ‘s worthwhile to include here...



...and RIP Rick Davies of Supertramp.
