Just spent 10 days in rural Maine myself, and saw a grand total of 2 Trump signs.

Currently on vacation in Washington County, Maine, which Trump won in the last three elections, and spotted this.

A grey pickup truck with a large hand-written sign hanging off the back which says “deport felons, NOT workers.”

Wildly excited to see one of my favorite plays in a few minutes. And just found out Tatiana Maslany is in it, too! (I already knew it stars Paul Giammati and John Turturro.)

My first salon column this month pays tribute to the almighty Ramones who should have been superstars and were nowhere even close except in our hearts! www.salon.com/2026/08/10/5...

50 years later, the Ramones' debut still defines punk

The band's first album flopped in 1976, but its influence on popular culture remains undeniable.

Drove past a house in Maine flying a "Don't Tread on Me" flag. Was sorely tempted to ring their doorbell to thank them for supporting abortion and trans rights.

I have chosen one path. Sadly, you have chosen the other. That may bring you great wealth in the here and now, but you will end up poorer in the eyes of history. newsletters.democracydocket.com/my-open-/let...

This means that for at least two years after the Edsel came out, you had reasonably good odds of seeing someone driving around in one, and laugh at them.

Is it wrong that I'm smiling? There's so little to smile about these days.

This x 1000

Everyone in the news media who acts as if anything about Trump and his administration is normal should live in shame and disgrace the rest of their life. They are worse than the Vichy French who conspired with the Nazis.

I know I've bitched about this before, but holy hell the grammar suggestions Gmail makes just keep getting worse and worse. It appears to hate any sense of individual voice, and wants everyone to write as blandly in corporate-speak as possible.

It's pretty inspiring to see what can happen when you put people actually interested in making people's lives better in government. From big things to little things, Mamdani seems so happy when he makes other people happy. Breaks my brain to see people pretending he's some kind of threat.

More proof, as if any were really needed, that most people invoking "open debate" when they say they're for "free speech" are really just "anti-social-consequences-for-my-particular-speech." I loathe hypocrites.

Holy wow The Invite is the funniest film I seen in YEARS. It's practically perfect.

"Less homicidal" is a wild thing to say. Does that mean Johnny Cash DID shoot a man, but it wasn't just to watch him die? Or that he never shot anybody, but really did want to watch them die?

A screenshot that says: Artistic License: Songwriters frequently adopt personas or write from the perspective of fictional characters. Johnny Cash sang about shooting a man in Reno just to watch him die, but his actual personality was much more complex and less homicidal.

If you've got the Criterion Channel, "Two Minutes Late" is the best old noir I've seen in a loonnng time. And it's from Denmark, so even though it was olden times, not EVERYTHING had to be subtext!

Google finally apporoved Joyride, the Too Much Joy app. So if you have an Android and want to make robot me recite ridiculous words you type and/or insert your own vocals into two of our songs, this will let you do just that:
