good morning

JD Vance when people makes jokes about Charlie Kirk: "call their employer." JD Vance when Republican staffers say "I love Hitler" and fantasize about throwing political opponents in gas chambers: "that's what kids do...we're not canceling kids because they did something stupid."

Two things are true: 1) This series was lost because your stars didn't show up. Trea, Kyle, and Bryce get paid $700+M to deliver in these moments and they failed. 2) Kerkering can never pitch in Philly again. For his own sake you just gotta deal him the second the window opens.

What if I told you the number of homeless people who were children that aged out of the foster care system?

Shame on anyone who supports this.

Hey, I resemble that remark! They want us to think good is dumb so that the inverse is true. But it isn’t.

Old Mitch “Wormtongue” McConnell would never lead you astray.

No King’s Day signs!

Weird how he didn’t call up the National Guard on January 6th.

Every one of these covid-revisionism pieces consists of people lying to your face about events that you remember www.persuasion.community/p/frances-le...

The Brotherly Shove endures! #GoBirds

It’s giving Bilbo Baggins…

In the hour of darkness and peril and fear, let’s all channel a little Paul Revere. @hcrichardson.bsky.social #paulrevere #boston250

Now that the stock market has crashed, guess what’s back on the menu?

If @booker.senate.gov runs out of stuff to talk about I think he should make a case for keeping the Tush Push.

Tolkien Reading Day is this Tuesday, March 25th! #TolkienReadingDay

Wow 2024 summer hit “Twisters” did not age well. The plot is a group of storm chasers trying to get a NOAA or NWS grant to study storms (def not climate change…never mentioned). Guess we better just practice lashing ourselves to pipes…

Not so fun fact: Measles ALWAYS affects the eyes.

Happy International Women’s Day!

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so... I mean. Christ. Did you watch that shit? I watched that shit. Why did I watch that shit? I always say I'm not gonna watch that shit and then I watch that shit. Christ." - J.R.R. Tolkien

Me watching anything in the news cycle…even at the gym. It gets weird really fast.

if sauron had won i bet the time of the orc wouldn’t have been so bad. like sure his lieutenants were evil but probably most orcs were just guys right. coming home to their orc wives with little surprises they picked up at the gas station for their orc kids

Do you even own a suit?

Don’t forget…in the books, Saruman was killed in the Shire, stabbed in the back by one of his minions.

And also the Tush Push.

Email me with 5 things you did last week.

Rush was the Boomer’s Wormtongue. Sleepwalking into hopelessness, cynicism and fascism is easy when dark promises are whispered into a generation’s ears.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Even if this isn’t happening in your state now, it will be used as precedent! As a 504 mom, please please help fight this.

GO BIRDS! 💚🦅💚

The US legal system this week…

Fuck.

Bad guys obey in advance.

So one day there wasn’t a big evil glowing never-blinking eye, and then one day there was. And everyone went back to work at the orc factory?

It’s a cold one out there.
