Song of the Day 6/30: Three Dog Night, “Black and White”
The day of jubilee is upon us! The Supreme Court, convinced of its power to dictate the terms of reality, has proclaimed that the nation is colorblind, so affirmative action is not only no longer necessary, it’s illegal!

Supreme Court Kills Affirmative Action. Because why should Black kids be as entitled as legacy fuck-ups at major institutions?: “With let-them-eat-cake obliviousness, today, the majority pulls the ripcord and announces ‘colorblindness for all’ by legal fiat. But deeming race irrelevant in law does not make it so in life,” Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote in […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: June 2023
So much good music that I had to limit each artist to one song (there were two artists for whom I had initially posted two songs each). Only available on Youtube, and, um, here. Don’t know if it’ll make it to Spotify, but I prefer this to anything on the album they put out earlier […]

That can only mean one thing: House Rethugs plan to hold up the Bond Bill because–Seaford. The vote was 22 Yes, 18 No. Actually it was 23-17, but Rep. Short changed his vote from yes to no so that he could bring the bill up again. The D’s who voted yes? Bolden, Carson, Cooke, Lynn, […]

This should really be Ramone’s last lap in the pool
The DEGOP is all about shitting on Biden and being afraid that a trans person is going to try and influence the state softball championship. With that lackluster infrastructure and this being a presidential year, Ramone, Smith and Hensley should be gone, gone, gone after the next election. But there are Democrats that seem vested […]
