Man, as much as I hate that fucking remake being the note the series went out on, the rights to NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET need to stay right where they're at with Craven's estate.

Me (in Mark Metcalf voice): “So tell me, MISTERRR RESISTERRR, you’re saying we need to restore democracy WITHOUT giving every group all their rights?”

Mister Resister: “That’s right…”

Me (in Jim Jeffries voice): “Then you’re NOT FUCKING RESTORING DEMOCRACY.”

Remind me, is Democracy the form of government where you win by alienating key demographics and showing your base that you will abandon their interests the minute they become politically inconvenient? The one where the winner is whoever gets the fewest points, like golf?

Differemt songs keep flashing into my head. The current one in my mind is Split Enz’ “Six Months In A Row Leaky Boat”.

Another strong contender, especially that second verse, which is just brutal

They're gonna call me "Sir"
They'll all stop pickin' on me
Well I'm a high school grad, I'm over five-foot-three
I'll get a gun and a badge and I'll join the PD

Bruce Cockburn had a run of bangers in the '80s and '90s -- "The Trouble with Normal" and "Call it Democracy" are as smart as political pop gets -- but this one, apart from a couple of topical references, is as ripped-from-the-headlines as it was forty years ago, which is depressing as hell

If democracy, freedom, liberation, justice, equality, and all that other stuff liberals claim to like means anything, it surely means that the law applies to everyone equally, and yet we have capitalist lackeys arguing that they have to be allowed to commit crimes for their business model to work

I think it’s less “tricking” or “pushing” or “pulling” centrists to the right than it is “giving centrists even the tiniest excuse to go where they‘ve always wanted to go”.

COINTELPRO NEVER ENDED

Robert Downen @robertdownen.bsky.social · 1d

Citing the “martyrdom” of Charlie Kirk, Texas AG Ken Paxton says his office is pursuing sweeping undercover investigations into “leftist” groups. “To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."

"Leftist political terrorism is a clear and present danger. Corrupted ideologies like transgenderism and Antifa are a cancer on our culture and have unleashed their deranged and drugged-up foot soldiers on the American people," said Attorney General Paxton. "The martyrdom of Charlie Kirk marks a turning point in America.
There can be no compromise with those who want us dead. To that end, I have directed my office to continue its efforts to identify, investigate, and infiltrate these leftist terror cells. To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."
The radical Left has incubated an environment where political violence is not only justified but celebrated and praised. In July, nearly two dozen armed leftists connected to various Texas-based Antifa-like groups ambushed an Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") facility in Alvarado, Texas. On September 10, 2025, a leftist assassin connected to the radical transgender movement murdered Charlie Kirk because of Kirk's bold support for truth, love of country, and unshakable faith. Two weeks later, another deranged leftist opened fire at an ICE facility in Dallas.
President Donald Trump has officially designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization and instructed his administration to "utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations — especially those involving terrorist actions — conducted by Antifa." Building on President Trump's bold actions, Attorney General Paxton has instructed his office to initiate sweeping investigations into radical leftist organizations engaged in or providing support to those performing political violence.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.
