Song of the Day 4/11: Bob Dylan, “When I Paint My Masterpiece”
This song ran through my head after a visit to the Vermeer exhibition at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The Dutch master was only 43 when he died in 1675 in Delft, and outside of official records very little is known of his life. He remained admired but obscure until the mid-18th century. He was popularized […]

Song of the Day 4/10: The Turtles, “Outside Chance”
Donald Trump has always skated beyond the law’s reach, and this has always been his motto: You don’t stand an outside chance, but you can try. They seem to be trying harder than ever. Stone walls surround me I’m surprised that you even found me Whatever you do girl You know that you can’t get […]
DL Open Thread Monday April 10 2023
i>This is sickening on many levels. One of those levels is knowing that Texas Gov Greg Abbott is Tucker Carlson’s prison bitch. Of course we now know that Carlson is only pretending to be the prison yard shot caller. In reality Carlson is the braying wingnut mob’s bitch. They’ve set up a self-justifying, internally re-enforcing rubegoldberg contraption of doom.

Poll Results – DL Readers and Lurkers REALLY want Trump to be the GOP’s nominee
It was a blow out. 57% in favor of Trump being the nominee. His loser credentials are undeniable. He is immensely unpopular. He is extremely polarizing. He is a transparent fraud. And his criminal past is (at long last) catching up with him. He makes the race entirely about his sore-loser, butthurt idiocy. He gives voters a stark choice between continuing as a democracy or not.
Of course Democrats want to run against Trump. PLEASE make it so, Republicans.

The Swan Silvertones were one of the seminal gospel groups of the 1940s and ’50s. “Oh Mary Don’t You Weep” dates from antebellum times, when slaves sang spirituals with coded messages of hope for freedom. Claude Jeter’s ad-lib, “I’ll be your bridge over deep water if you trust in my name,” inspired Paul Simon’s “Bridge […]

Smug and assured, ignorant and shameless
There are many necessary responses to Matthew Kacsmaryk’s misogynist lawlessness, and Jessica Valenti’s too-hot-for-Elon visceral reaction is certainly one of them: There’s no real way to prepare for the feeling of despair that rises in your body as you’re reminded, once again, that you’re no longer a full citizen in your own country. I want to be […]
