"“Why not let the girls play in the big bands?” she wrote. “In these times of national emergency, many of the star instrumentalists of the big name bands are being drafted. Instead of replacing them with what may be mediocre talent, why not let some of the great girl musicians of the country take their places?”

“There are many girl trumpet players, girl saxophonists and girl drummers who can stand the grind of long tours and exacting one-night stands,” she continued. “The idea of girls being able to play only legitimately is a worn-out myth now.”"

It Sure Sounds Like Trump May Barricade Himself in the Oval Office and Refuse to Come Out If Biden Wins

 

 

"As you’ve probably also heard, Donald Trump is taking it as well as everyone had expected, ranting and raving about all kinds of made-up fraud, demanding counts be stopped in one state and continued in others, and filing numerous lawsuits that stand little chance of holding up in court because they have no merit (and, in some cases, have led judges to believe the lawyers attached to them have recently suffered traumatic brain injuries). At this point, a quasi reasonable person might say to himself, Okay, I’m going to cut my losses, salvage my last atom of dignity, and admit defeat. But obviously Donald Trump is not reasonable and he has no dignity. So instead he’s decided he’ll keep fighting this thing well beyond the point that it’s hugely embarrassing to do so, and even after that fails, refuse to acknowledge that he lost and that Joe Biden is going to be president.

Yes, like George Costanza deciding to just go back to the office on Monday as if he didn’t quit the Friday before, Trump apparently thinks he can just go on being president even if the American people have fired him. According to CNN, Trump reportedly has not prepared a concession speech and “in conversations with allies in recent days has said he has no intention of conceding the election.” The decision to go full delusional has obviously been strengthened by staffers, such as Mark Meadows, who “have not attempted to come to terms with the president about the reality of what is happening” and have instead fed into his claims of fraud; Vice President Mike Pence, who’s been soliciting money for a legal defense fund; and his adult children, who’ve been spouting absurd conspiracy theories on Twitter as they watch the ultimate opportunity for nepotism slip away.

A few members have reportedly grown worried that, eventually, someone will have to sit Trump down and explain that little Donny’s not going to be president anymore—and at this point, it seems unlikely anyone will be able to get through to him short of slapping him across the face and screaming, “YOU LOST! IT’S OVER!”"

"An oft-told story about Ms. Littman goes like this: Mr. Capote and Ms. Littman had been sitting on the pool at Cipriani’s in Venice within the late Seventies when Ms. Littman identified an especially skinny girl. “That’s anorexia nervosa,” she declared. And Mr. Capote replied, “Oh Marguerite, you already know everyone.”

Irreverente, Tarso de Castro criou o histórico Folhetim nos anos 1970

 

 

 

"“Ele chegava ao jornal já meio calibrado”, conta o então secretário de Redação, Caio Túlio Costa. Sentava-se diante da máquina de escrever, colocava nela a lauda (folha de papel em que eram escritas as matérias nesta época), escrevia o lide (primeiro parágrafo, com a ideia inicial do texto) do que seria sua coluna naquele dia. E parava aí.

Levantava-se, descia e ia até um conhecido bar na alameda Barão de Campinas, na parte de trás do prédio do jornal.

Engatava, então, num papo com outros jornalistas, bebia um pouco mais. Às vezes, voltava a tempo, antes do fechamento. Quando era assim, embalado, terminava sua coluna rapidamente. Quando não, um de seus chefes acabava tendo de rematá-la por ele.

Suas colunas tinham forte componente político em tempos de ditadura militar. De esquerda, brizolista e inconformado com a censura, fazia provocações abertas ao regime em seus textos."

Lan e o Corvo que perseguiu Carlos Lacerda

BERNARDO MELLO FRANCO

Conhecido pelo traço sinuoso que retratava o samba e as mulatas, Lan também era um craque do humor político. Em maio de 1954, três meses antes do suicídio de Getúlio Vargas, ele desenhou Carlos Lacerda na pele de um corvo. A caricatura virou apelido e perseguiu o udenista até o fim da vida.

A ideia nasceu no Cemitério São João Batista, no enterro do repórter Nestor Moreira. O jornalista havia sido assassinado por policiais de uma delegacia em Copacabana. À beira do túmulo, o fundador da “Tribuna da Imprensa” culpou o governo Vargas pelo crime.

“Lacerda estava vestido de preto dos pés à cabeça, aspecto solene, rosto compungido, ar sofredor. Quando vi a cena, senti-me enojado”, contaria o jornalista Samuel Wainer, dono da “Última Hora”, no livro “Minha razão de viver”.

De volta à redação, Wainer pediu a Lan que desenhasse seu inimigo como uma ave de mau agouro. A encomenda foi entregue em poucos minutos.

Na prancheta do caricaturista, Lacerda havia se transformado num corvo que vertia lágrimas sobre o caixão.

“De todos os desenhos que fiz de imprensa, o pior, tecnicamente, é aquele corvo. Fiz com pressa porque estava atrasado para um encontro com uma mulata”, contaria Lan ao jornal “A Nova Democracia”.

No dia seguinte, o caricaturista foi festejado pelo deputado Danton Coelho, do PTB. Empolgado, o getulista abraçou Lan e disse que ele havia feito um trabalho de “profundidade psicológica incrível”. Tinha razão.

Lacerda nunca se livraria do apelido de Corvo. Os desafetos mais mordazes o chamariam apenas de “ A Ave”.

‘We are in big trouble’: Is America becoming a failed state?

 

 

 "Trump’s defeat would mean that we have, for the moment, avoided a plunge into authoritarianism — and yes, the stakes are that high, not just because of who Trump is, but also because the modern G.O.P. is so extremist and anti-democratic. But our skewed electoral system means that Trump’s party is still in a position to hobble, perhaps cripple, the next president’s ability to deal with the huge epidemiological, economic and environmental problems we face.

Put it this way: If we were looking at a foreign country with America’s level of political dysfunction, we would probably consider it on the edge of becoming a failed state — that is, a state whose government is no longer able to exert effective control."

You say the hill's too steep to climb
Chiding
You say you'd like to see me try
Climbing
You pick the place and I'll choose the time

Just wait a while for the right day
And as I rise above the treeline and the clouds
I look down hearing the sound of the things you said today

Donald Trump Has Done One Good Thing — He’s Desacralized the American Presidency

 

 

"Technocratic competence? Before 2016, Trump had never wielded political power and had far more crash-and-burn enterprises under his belt than genuine successes. Democratic equality? Trump visibly relishes hierarchy and partly became famous by theatrically telling people, “You’re fired!” on national TV. Personal virtue? His private life had been the stuff of tabloid fodder for decades, and a more cruelly vindictive person can scarcely be imagined outside the realm of fiction. Tying it all together, Trump has exposed the lie of meritocracy in twenty-first-century America by demonstrating that wealth does, in fact, supersede everything else — talent, professionalism, and personal virtue are not actually prerequisites for those in high office.

If the country’s imperial figurehead can really be this transparent huckster of a man, the average person may start to wonder whether the whole thing is a con."

When I was just a baby
My mama told me, "Son
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns"
But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowing
I hang my head and cry

I bet there's rich folks eating
In a fancy dining car
They're probally drinkin' coffee
And smoking big cigarrs
Well I know I had it coming
I know I can't be free
But those people keep a-movin'
And that's what tortures me

As America anxiously waits, voters find a bit of laughter in memes

It’s day three of election week and we are no clearer who the president will be than on day one. We’re all on an emotional rollercoaster ride: with Donald Trump and Joe Biden neck-and-neck, many of us are waiting, refreshing the internet while hoping to be put out of our misery.

But amid what feels like hour-by-hour updates of “no news yet”, the internet has turned towards what the internet does best: memes, of course. Here is what’s been keeping us laughing."

The Election’s Troubling Message: Even if Trump Loses, America’s Political Civil War Isn’t Over

 

 

"With the high death toll—far worse than most other industrialized democracies—Trump’s failure as the nation’s chief executive seemed obvious.

Yet not to his fans. And this is where the tale gets worrisome. Trump’s lethal incompetence caused tens of thousands of deaths, and millions of Americans did not care about that. They still rallied to their man. They attended or watched campaign events where Trump placed his own supporters (and others) at risk. Following the lead of their dear leader, they disregarded the science, dismissing the concerns and statements of public health experts. They denied reality; they defied rationality. They placed their trust in Trump above all else. As numerous commentators have noted, they acted like members of a cult.

Trump calculated that he could only triumph as the champion of one side in a bitterly fought cultural clash. That’s a highly cynical and low-minded strategy. And it has come close to working. (TBD.) Millions cheered him on. Criticism of Trump in the media only reaffirmed his standing within this tribe as their savior. His brutality, his cruelty—banning Muslims, separating immigrant children from their parents, gassing protesters—they relished it. His many hypocrisies, his steady stream of false statements, his bear-hug of murderous dictators, his inexplicable alliance with a foreign leader who attacked the United States, his shady, if not illegal, finances and conflicts of interest, his hush money payments to a porn star—none of that matters. Let alone his handling of the pandemic. For these people, Trump could do no wrong. He was not a candidate, not a president. He was a cause. Their cause."

Darkness at the break of noon

Shadows even the silver spoon

The handmade blade, the child's balloon

Eclipses both the sun and moon

To understand you know too soon

There is no sense in trying

 

Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn

Suicide remarks are torn

From the fool's gold mouthpiece

The hollow horn plays wasted words

Proves to warn that he not busy being born

There was a loser last night — It was America |

 

 

 "The U.S. Census Bureau projects that by the middle of this year, nonwhites will constitute a majority of the nation’s 74 million children. At the same time, it is estimated that by sometime in the 2040s, whites will make up 49% of the U.S. population, and Latinos, Blacks, Asians and multiracial populations 51%.

There is clearly a discomfort, and even resistance, among many whites, particularly white working-class males without college degrees, to the fact that our nation is in a steady process of becoming “minority white.” They see Trump as a bulwark against the social, cultural and economic implications of that.

What many Democrats see as a good trend — a country reckoning with structural racism and learning to embrace and celebrate increasing diversity — many white people see as a fundamental cultural threat.

And that is fueling another lethal trend this election only reinforced."

The Next Battle Is To Stop Trump From Sabotaging the Count

 


"While the media has learned to be more critical of Trump, there is still a powerful impulse towards faux-neutrality when covering partisan competition. Mainstream media is still governed by the imperatives of pretending that both sides of a debate are equally valid. Just on Sunday, The New York Times reported on Trump’s stoking of political violence with a headline that read: “With the Election Looming, the Nation’s Divisions Play Out in the Streets: Disruptions in New Jersey, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina and elsewhere reflect a bitter, uncertain election.” The headline was later changed to read: Trump Backers Block Highways as Election Tensions Play Out in the Streets.” The first headline shows that the initial impulse of the mainstream media in any partisan dispute will be to avoid casting blame on one party. Which means Trump’s muddying of the water will have some impact."

This Is All Donald Trump Has Left

 

 

"It’s so easy to see the shape of what Trump wants in the ways that he lies and lies about what is—in the way he gooses crowd numbers, in the way he tells stories about strong men weeping at his feet in gratitude for all he’s done for this country, in the gap-intensive conspiracies and bizarre causal helixes that he invents to explain away his failures. What’s most striking about Trump’s lies, beyond their overwhelming volume and bombast, is how they reflect his own monomania. So Many Are Saying various things that somehow all wind up being about him; they’re Saying It More And More because there is nothing else and no one else that he could imagine anyone wanting to talk about. The metastasizing They that opposes him grows by the day, and cares about him every bit as much as he cares about himself. They will do, are always somewhere doing, whatever it takes to make him look like an idiot who fucks up and lies constantly. Nothing, certainly not the lives of any number of strangers or whatever is left of any national ideal, is more important than the survival of his most obvious throwaway fantasy.

Everything returns to him, sometimes along a longer arc than others, but always in good time. His obliterating vanity can sometimes give this a darkly comic aspect, as when he was hilariously and transparently jealous of the few days of theatrical bipartisan mourning that followed John McCain’s death, but it is generally too ghoulish to laugh at. Trump’s engagement with the world is fundamentally an envious one—other people possess what should be his, everything that is not him is just getting in his way. This is why his response to the challenge of his office seems to top out at blustering and uncomprehending impatience. Those opiate deaths and wildfires and our fortnightly mass shootings are Quite Frankly So Tragic, but it is palpable that the only real response Trump has to them is that they distract from what everyone had been talking about before, which was and by rights should continue to be him."
