DL Open Thread: Thursday, October 2, 2025
Gonna have to make this quick –Delmarva is doing maintenance work, and we’ll be w/o power starting at 8 am. I’ve poured myself a double (shot of TJ’s Cold Brew), so I should at least be semi-lucid. President Will Make Blue States Suffer During Shutdown. Hey, he’s already fighting the new Civil War, if you, […]
Song of the Day 10/1: The Guess Who, “Laughing”
Thanks to the Saudis, comedy is no longer a laughing matter. The country’s latest attempt to appear less odious is the currently running Riyadh Comedy festival, featuring a bunch of A-list American comedians, including Bill Burr, Dave Chappelle, Kevin Hart and Louis CK, who were paid as much as $1 million for their performances. If […]

Welcome, Blue Delaware Reader(s?)! Y’know, I used to joke that, in those rare instances when we broke a story over here, Blue Delaware would have it in 3-2-1, without attribution. Guess I’ve gotta come up with a new joke. That guy was a serial plagiarizer, presumably because he never came up with even a sentence […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: September 2025
A pleasingly-eclectic month. (Pleasing and eclectic to me. YMMV. Let me know.) Proof that their last one wasn’t a fluke: A Rorschach Test Song For You: What do you think?: Best Band In America? Suitably strange as well: For those of you new to Georgia Maq and perhaps the musical DNA of this blog, this […]
BREAKING: Housing Advocates Release Their Plan On Homelessness
And, yes, it differs greatly from what John Carney and Claire DeMatteis have schemed out. Here is the press release in its entirety: Housing Advocates Share Their Own Recommendations for Addressing Homelessness WILMINGTON, DE September, 2025 — On Tuesday September 30th several homelessness advocates, including Housing Alliance Delaware, Friendship House, H.O.M.E.S. Campaign, Delaware Poor People’s […]
Song of the Day 9/30: Jesse Welles, “Tylenol”
Anyone who thinks the Trump Era calls for protest songs by folk singers should check out Jesse Welles. The 32-year-old Arkansas native has been releasing pointedly snarky tunes about timely for several months now. This one just dropped yesterday. A lot of people compare Welles with Bob Dylan, but his career arc has been the […]
Whoa–Blue Delaware Gets Outed–And How
Just-wow. Got this in my e-mailbox this morning. I’m cutting and pasting the entire thing because I couldn’t find it on the Downballot website: I discovered something yesterday that gutted me: A site called Blue Delaware has been stealing our content all year—verbatim, hundreds of words at a time—and publishing it as their own. After […]

The Real Reason Trump Invaded Portland: Portland authorities are in a standoff with the Trump administration over an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) detention facility in the Oregon city, after an investigation found the administration is using the facility for overnight detentions, in violation of its city-issued permits. The standoff comes amid threats from Donald […]
Song of the Day 9/29: Prefab Sprout, “Looking for Atlantis”
Guest post by Nathan Arizona Would Cole Porter name his band Prefab Sprout? Probably not. But Paddy McAloon, leader of that British pop-rock group, has drawn comparisons to Porter for the clever and sophisticated music his band made in the ’80s. Also to Stephen Sondheim. Wait. Cole Porter’s a stretch, but Stephen Sondheim is ridiculous. […]
DL Open Thread: Monday, September 29, 2025
I think that Trump’s madness is hitting critical mass. This might well be the week when enough people wake up and realize that he is utterly unfit to be President. There are just too many signs of his descent into insanity for even the press, and perhaps, Rethugs, to ignore. I’m serious. Pretty sure the first Trump […]
Song of the Day 9/28: Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen, “Portland, Oregon, You’re My Home”
Donald Trump, deep into the dementia that has stalked him for years, has declared Portland, Ore., a war zone, so he’s sending in the troops. There’s no evidence here on Real Earth than Portland is anything but the weird, rainy city it’s always been, but it has loomed large in the right-wing imagination since the […]

How To Grow Your Own Meat (Not A Penile Enlargement Come-On): The Shojinmeat Project helps people grow their own meat, almost like a plant, without an animal having to die. It’s called cultivated meat, and it’s made by taking a few animal cells and helping them grow in a tank called a bioreactor. It’s real […]

A Very Special Absolute Corruption Edition: Trump Fired US Attorney For Following The Law: For 15 years, Michele Beckwith oversaw some of the toughest federal prosecutions in California. She went after transnational terrorists, sex traffickers and the Aryan brotherhood. She became the acting U.S. attorney in Sacramento this year when her boss, a Biden appointee, stepped down […]
