An erstwhile movie-review site. I post stupid jokes. And about movies. And about dogs. And about the Dead. Profile picture is not me. Insert smiley face

Last night’s article in the Washington Post about D.C. police responding to a 911 call by illegally letting DOGE onto private property is unlike any news story I have ever read. Every single person should read this article and think about where our society is going.

Your reminder that bad actors who espouse fascism will eventually come for you. Even if you look exactly like them and behave exactly like them, you're not immune. Greed is eternal. People have deluded themselves by thinking that because a wannabe strongman goes after the marginalized...

Another note about voting and the right to do so. There are forces gathering right now to deprive people of the right to vote. Sure, you might say, those are Other people. Not me. Think again. You can always lose this right if the people in charge are sufficiently craven, cynical, and mendacious.

Do you enjoy having a say in your nation's elections, however small that say may seem? Then don't vote for a fascist. Fascists do not like people having a say in things, particularly if their say is diametrically opposed to their own.

“Box of Rain” is about death and being grateful for life and I am grateful for that song and grateful for the now dead Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead and his life for which he was grateful before his death.

For everyone who just canceled their WaPo subscriptions because it's run by a fascist who plans on being head of Trump's State Run Media, here's a paper that isn't afraid of that big giant piece of shit

Kamala Harris for president | Endorsement

There has never been a more important presidential election in our lifetime. The road to the White House may well run through Pennsylvania and every vote matters.

Good stuff here. I continue to maintain that subscribing to The Inquirer is always a great idea. One of the few big papers that is being honest about the election and the insanity around it.

Under federal election law, paying people to register to vote, including via entry to a lottery, is illegal. Under Pennsylvania law, any unregulated lottery is illegal. Under federal law, a PAC coordinating and campaigning with a candidate is illegal. I'm in the camp that says laws should matter.
