Ages ago I signed on to be a regular customer survey recipient for one of our local papers. Every time they give me a chance, I remind them they are not just competing against the other local rags and web sites, but internationally too. It’s shocking how far behind most news outlets are to their readers’ actual news consumption patterns.

Now I’m wondering why Laibach hasn’t done a cover of that? Too close for parody, I guess?
Does remind me of their Beatles cover, though:
Or more like Wes Anderson and Lemi Refenstahl had a baby and that baby grew up to direct Laibach videos?
I love Laibach, but it’s kind of horrifying how relevant they are right now.

Lol I remember hearing about that on Twitter. Ah well, even a stopped clock is right twice a day etc.
Another conservative who doesn’t want to be associated with Trump?
Just after the election I found myself nodding along with tweets by Arnold Schwarzenegger AND David Frum – that gave me pause. Arnie pulls off the occasional good one even though I don’t agree with him on a lot of political things, but the entire Frum family manage to be shockingly out of touch on a regular basis.
Strange times.

I saw this video about half an hour ago and my palms are still sweating. It disturbs me that much.

So many opportunities to remember Philomena Cunk’s immortal words from 2015:
This will be in a documentary in twenty years’ time with ominous music on it and here is me watching it live.
At least we still hope it will be.

Nope. Nice try, but you’re not going to get me to watch John Ashcroft sing. I’ve made that mistake before.

I prefer the original:
ETA: He should really try to work with these guys: Now that’s an anthem!

Just remember that the Thousand Year Reich actually lasted about 12 years.
It made quite a mess while it lasted, though.

The less optimistic lesson is that no idea is so bad that people won’t try it for half a generation.

It’s a good thing I’m moving this week and not at work, because watching Donald Jr. implode is at least kind of enjoyable until I remember that the Republicans are too craven to do anything to remove this House of Cards by way of Monty Python’s Gumbys freak show from the White House.
