Keep shouting, Bernie. One day, someone in power might even listen.

I don't even know what happiness is at this point. I am, however, at peace.

I figured there were such groups around, but too small and politically ineffectual to be a threat to the elite, and probably not what they're talking about here. My eyes roll out of my head whenever I hear Trump call the Democratic Party the 'radical left'.

Don't knock it until you've tried it. It's actually pretty delicious.

It's probably not suffering a lot of wear and tear.

Is there even a 'far left' in America? I'd hardly call the Democratic Party that.

I've read the rest of your posts in this thread. It's mostly slinging angry insults and not really making any salient points, and which are getting soundly downvoted, and you think you're the rational one? Again, how odd.

(My previous comment has been removed and I can't remember what it said, but in general, once someone starts insulting me, I believe it's fair game to respond in kind, so it was probably something like that. Not sure why the mods would remove that and not what it was in response to. :shrug:)

Edit: I found the mod log, and my comment was "You're funny" and was removed for 'trolling. LOL. Which rule was that under? As if there was any other way to respond to it.

Paul Simon - Wartime Prayers (youtu.be)
 

Good song. Dunno why it's been on my mind.

Begs The Question (aussie.zone)
 

After hearing it used, I was looking up the correct usage of the term 'begs the question', because I heard somewhere that most people use it incorrectly, and came across this helpful page from Merriam Webster.

This bit at the end made me laugh out loud.

So that's where beg the question comes from, but all this, ahem, begs the question of what you should do with all this knowledge about the phrase. Liberman recommends that people avoid it altogether (but also "cultivate an attitude of serene detachment in the face of its use by others").

This week's most favourite band ever, courtesy of the YouTube algorithm. The lead singer's voice is amazing. I recommend giving the whole album a listen. It's all as good as this.

Love me an angry comic in the vein of Bill Hicks and Sam Kinison. Simon King is their spiritual successor. This is a good show. 68 minutes of pure poetry.

I was sad when it was cancelled. So stoked it's back.

Edit: I don't know what's going on with the video/audio syncing in this, but the gags are intact.

Zoltan dropped a new 30 minutes. Love Zoltan. His improvisational skills are great.

Dirt Poor Robins - We Forgot We Were Human (youtu.be)
 

This song that came up on my Discovery Queue seems pertinent. I like their theatricality.

This week's most favourite band ever. I like to play an album I like and then let YT Music continue with similar sort of music. If something grabs my ear, I'll listen to the rest of that album, and if that's good I'll binge on the rest of the discography. I'm still working my way back through their albums, but everything I've heard so far I've really liked.

This is their most recent single.

The Harry Hill Show (youtu.be)
 

This came up on my algorithm last night, probably due to all the Stewart Lee stuff I watch. It's brilliant and weird and very funny. The castle designer joke was my highlight.

Maria Bamford - Weakness Is The Brand (youtu.be)
 

One of the best.
