Honestly it was like

This just in: The prize went to a democracy activist, not the guy murdering random people in the Caribbean Sea

[Touches earpiece]

The democracy activist says they're glad the guy murdered random people in the Caribbean Sea. Now they're dedicating the prize to the murder guy.

Coming soon from the same writer: "Bruce Springsteen's BORN IN THE USA is actually about the misery of Vietnam veterans, not a pro-America anthem."

Compared to Dylan and Springsteen, country-music legend Johnny Cash can seem deeply uncool. It took time for me to appreciate his profound, plainspoken strength, writes Jon Fasman.

Seriously, y'all, if we hear even a WHISPER of "unite the country" or "move past this" from the next Democratic administration, we need to march and protest just as hard as we've been doing against Trump.

Oliver Willis @owillis.bsky.social · 2d

actually we would be better off as a country if the obama administration had prosecuted the bush administration. ditto biden to trump. we're in a mess in large part because democrats were too chickenshit to do the right thing.
