A Phlaming Phoenix

I voted for a similar measure in Colorado!

Officer pulled me out of my car, threw me over the his, wrenched my hands up behind my back… Because my registration was out of date.

No, they mean closeted gay men. Because that’s how they think gay guys should be when they’re normal.

When a conservative asks you for sources, they do so in bad faith. They don’t care about engaging with reality. It’s a deflection tactic.

Yeah, and “womanfriend” has a real incel vibe to it.

Well I don’t know that I’d call Mike Pence a chad…

Mostly I don’t disagree with this assessment, but by now we’re talking about the boy who cried wolf. Republicans have been very outspoken with their “groomer” talk so many provably false times, meanwhile Trump and his cronies have committed a number of sex crimes and/or shown a lack of remorse for the victims thereof that it’s hard for them to come off as credible with this stuff anymore. I do miss Al Franken, though.

They’re just both narcissists.

By being kept away from interview and TV appearances and such.

That gum I like did come back in style…

Well, see… The president he supports withholds funding unless the municipalities affected by disasters pass a purity test, so he assumes the president he doesn’t support will as well.

Grindr… That’s that app for finding hot hoagies in my area?

half the marines general population are bi and closeted

Isn’t the core of jazz improvisation and breaking the “rules” of music? If that’s what they’re doing, why would we disqualify it as jazz? A lot of folks had this opinion of Miles Davis doing jazz fusion in the 70s on Bitches Brew and Live/Evil with his squeaky, borderline abusive trumpeting, or of Herbie Hancock doing weird space synth stuff on Sextant and funk fusion on Headhunters. I don’t see how what you’re saying isn’t just gatekeeping that’s not really in the spirit of jazz.

Awful take. Last weekend I saw Mike Dillon with Phunkadelick playing with Brian Haas on the Rhodes organ. They played a wild punk-jazz show that is one of the best shows I’ve ever attended. There was a mosh pit at a jazz concert where a primary instrument was a vibraphone.

In recent years, I’ve greatly enjoyed things like AKU!'s album Blind Fury (drum/trumpet/baritone sax trio) and Ambrose Akinmusire’s Origami Harvest. A lot of modern jazz is blending in electronic influences, like Sungazer. Maybe you don’t like these things, but I can’t imagine calling jazz dead.

Or even the corollary, that the Abrahamic religions grant authority to men, so men who feel as though they command no authority flock to the religions to achieve it.

You’re right, of course, which is dismal, but I guess it will at least be on the record that we knew? That we saw it coming?

Sounds illegal. They’re not supposed to endorse candidates while not having to pay taxes. IRS should end this church.

Why does the tribunally selected autocrat of a foreign nation intent on raping children get to tell me anything about democracy or evil?
