LOL. As I said on twitter, it’s extremely predictable and darkly hilarious that the same people who tacitly supported the J6 ransacking of the 220 year old Capitol Building are now deeply censorious about a Black woman handling an antique flute with insufficient decorum.
As has been pointed out, the funniest thing is that beyond a shadow of a doubt 0% of those bleating conservative motherfuckers even knew the flute existed three days ago, but it has now become *THE* symbol of Oh Beautiful For Spacious Skies.
Lizzo has joined the noble ranks of “Women Who Piss Off Conservatives By Being Black, Talented, and Visible.” Stay angry and die mad, clowns.

Highly amused, but of course WANKER should be a real organization. Or at least grift.
As for the footnote, I, for one at least, have learned my lesson and I pursued it was legit because of the high level of writing Roy delivers. I mean, of course it would be legit.
I've seen videos of Lizzo, and while it's not my kind of music, she's a talented performer who projects love of her art. For the many, manyith time all I can do is say "What the hell is wrong with these people?"
Conservatives versus pop culture. So much try, so hard fail! Always amusing that they absolutely cannot understand how any of this works, and thus believe that "the Left" is constantly pushing subliminal messages through all channels of culture--art, music, writing, film, theater. They think it's an orchestrated effort with purely political motives.
And why wouldn't they think such a thing when the only "art" they know is explicitly political? They KNOW they if they ever made any kind in inroad into pop culture, they would absolutely make sure that whatever it was came slathered, smothered, buried under overt political messages. No music but songs that praise Trump and extol tax cuts for the wealthy! No sitcoms but shows that praise Trump and show the libs getting owned every time. No paintings but glorious portraits of Trump and scenes from Atlas Shrugged.
America, you're giving me a headache. Can ANYTHING happen there that isn't somehow offensive or scandalous to someone? Roy (jokingly) mentioned Socrates, but really, you guys are fighting an old threat: sophistry (which, in classical Greece, meant making the weaker argument appear stronger, by whatever means necessary). Sophistry. A sophist. We need to bring these terms back
"until they fall asleep without removing their dentures" Hey, I do that sometimes, and I haven't choked yet (I sleep on my side, and the upper does fall out at times)!

Nicely done !
You know, when I see clips from a Trump rally one of the things I've noticed is just how much white people love to be humiliated.
Twerk the olds, check.
Soothe the savage breast, un-check.

Anyway, call me when WANKER merch is available.

That Dispatch article is _precious_ I read it like I would watch a dog trying to open its own can of food. Awwww.... I said.
I recently saw a Tiktok video looking at pro-Q music touted on Truth Social.
Can.
Not.
Un.
See.
Or.
Hear.
Who knew that there were earworms for folx with brain worms. Helluva world there.

It’s funny cause it’s true. Thanks for the mordant laugh to end the week.

I think the Author of that Dispatch piece would approve of this fershure:

Die Zauberflöte indeed. Maybe a little *too* magic, the way conservatives are working themselves into a lather about blowing James Madison’s flute.
