Have not and never will pay for that blue check.

My favorite quote comes at the end: "It used to be nice when I didn't know my neighbor next door was a dummy."

Hard agree (speaking metaphorically -- my literal next door neighbors are all very nice, and all very pro-democracy, even when it means our preferred candidates lose).

I went to swing county in PA to see how the current political climate has changed the way people see their neighbors, their local government, and their country.

Now this is how you micro-target voters.

I have never wanted a door more than I want this hand-carved owl door from Denmark. The beak is the door knocker 🦉

It’s so weird how so many voters who are over January 6th can’t move past the Union victory in the Civil War.

[Tim Quirk @tbquirk]

(And why those same Republicans also try to mandate the teaching of particular beliefs.)

When I was a kid, it felt like John Amos was in EVERYTHING. Sometimes he was lovable, sometimes he was frightening, oftentimes he was both at once.

RIP to a great.

[TVMoJoe @TVMoJoe]

Incredibly sad to hear of the passing of John Amos. In 2015, I was lucky enough to spend an hour on the phone with him talking about his career, from his work as a writer on Leslie Uggams' variety show to MTM and Roots to Good Times. What a life...

Related to this, it's really hard to articulate just how profound the impact of Roots felt back when we had a genuine monoculture. Experiencing that as a kid has made it much easier, as an adult, to understand just why Republicans try to outlaw the teaching of certain histories.

[Tim Quirk @tbquirk]

Well, this is surprising: 35 years after signing with Warners, they just deposited the first royalty check Too Much Joy has ever received from them into our band bank account.

We're still >$300K unrecouped, but as of July, 2022, they now pay unrecouped artists signed before 2000

The latest run of Wonderlick house concerts came to a triumphant conclusion last night.

Last night we celebrated the release of Crush Story, a Too Much Joy-themed beer.

Weird stuff can happen on any tour, but something about Wonderlick house shows makes them almost guaranteed: https://t.co/aeh4U0k8QY

[Tim Quirk @tbquirk]

Wonderlick's next run of hiuse shows has begun. Playing Portland tonight.

I'm a bad dad who never remembers my children's exact birthdays. Thanks for remembering this one for me, @mariaemma16. And thanks to the art director who figured out a way to achieve our vision for the cover. Back before AI, you had to do this stuff with actual vans and cliffs.

your pet is more likely to be shot in the face by a Republican governor than be eaten by an immigrant

Don’t remember it, but it’s plausible.

@amandadeibert Literally just tonight was the first time I ever heard "Eurydice" spoken aloud.

Had no idea it wasn't pronounced Yuri Dice.

This thread is only
for haikus about why you
are voting Harris

[Tim Quirk @tbquirk]

@MattMackowiak That fails to answer my question. Gold star families inviting him and requesting photos do not negate the facts that A) he broke the law, B) another gold star family objected to the photos and C) the army has rebuked him. So why is complaining about his comportment there absurd?

[Tim Quirk @tbquirk]

@MattMackowiak So what makes the uproar absurd, then? Trump's campaign refused to obey the law, pushed an employee who was insisting that they do so, and now the army along with the family of another soldier whose headstone appeared int he photos are very rightfully complaining.
