I don’t believe in hell but these people really make me wish I did.

Hey folks, my first book is out in April! It's a narrative non-fiction account of five years of life in Berkeley Springs, WV after the "great replacement" fixated group VDARE bought a 19th century castle there. Get 20% off now with the code STRANGE20: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/micha...

This might be a wild idea but I think we need to admit that the Emperor has no clothes.

They complain about the male loneliness epidemic but do men even try to make themselves attractive by showing off their shapely legs and festooning themselves with embroidery and lace? They do not

This is why @repaprildelaney.bsky.social is getting primaried. MD-06 can do better.

Just a reminder that George Conway is not fundraising right now to run against a MAGA republican. He is fundraising to run against progressive Democrats.

My position on impeachment is the same as it was six months ago: Impeachment is first about driving public attention to Trump’s crimes and corruption. Democrats should introduce impeachment articles and force votes to boost their parallel media effort. Performative public investigations matter.

Jane Austen used 'however' at the beginning of a sentence, and so can you.

i asked chat gpt to fact check an article for me

Indiana state Sen. Michael Bohacek — a Republican — says he won't support Trump's effort to gerrymander the state after Trump used a slur to describe Gov. Tim Walz. "…perhaps he can use the next 10 months to convince voters that his policies and behavior deserve a congressional majority."

Good morning to everyone but especially to Lady Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whose judgement against Rudy Giuliani for defaming them and turning their lives upside down cannot be pardoned away by the president

@alsobrooks.senate.gov Ma'am, don't you dare vote to open with no ACA extensions. Don't you dare cave!

@vanhollen.senate.gov Don't you dare cave. Don't you dare.

All I want is a humble castle on the Irish coast, a crackling fire, a vintage mystery novel, an emotional support raven, a raging thunderstorm, a few purring cats, endless cups of tea, and a scandalous amount of freshly-baked pastries.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin. When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

I keep adding books to my TBR list, and honestly, it's starting to stress me out a little.

Shine on, luna preciosa #harvestmoon #fullmoon

"We are an authoritarian country with an autocratic leader who is acting in the ways that the heads of police states act. That's where we are. To suggest it's around the corner is to be as divorced from reality as a president who thinks there's a war going on in Portland." @djrothkopf.bsky.social

I expected the tyranny and the blustering and the mockery of everything they’ve ever claimed America was supposed to stand for what I didn’t expect was the depth and speed of the capitulation at every level

my favorite robert redford story is that mike nichols considered him for dustin hoffman's part in THE GRADUATE. during their conversation nichols asked redford something like, "have you ever struck out with a girl?" and redford's response was basically, "i don't understand the question"

Odds are you don't have a Washington Post subscription anymore, but you should also cancel your Amazon Prime subscription.

The absence of mourning is not equal to the presence of celebration, and it’s strange how many people have conflated the two over the last day.

Age verification: I ate Space Stix. Delicious.

If (when?) we have another Civil War, could we please do Reconstruction right this time and not let the defeated assholes regain power through violence?

It’s ironic that the worst person on Morning Joe is Joe.

It's nice that we're all having a good time together.

Here’s what I see: A) The vast majority of Dems have coalesced around a morally clear platform. B) The vast majority of elected Dems have coalesced around protecting and pleasing their donors. C) Those two encampments are miles apart.

Words/phrases Democrats should never use: * bipartisan * my Republican friends * real, valid, legitimate, serious, important (to describe issue raised by Republicans) * yea (when voting on Republican bills) * distraction (to describe bad thing Republicans did) * woke (in derogatory sense)

The double standard the media holds for both Democrats and democrats is infuriating. We're supposed to preserve democracy for everyone blindfolded with one arm tied behind our back while Republicans get to just violate every dimension of democracy without facing elite punishment?

just can not shake the feeling that democratic leadership really believes they are just a couple votes away from the halcyon times of enjoying senate softball and seersucker suit day

Given the overt attempts to erase certain histories from public spaces...well, I hope people are taking steps to preserve their local knowledge. You can write books that are not for public consumption, that chronicle your specific family or village history. You can keep your own archives.

In many ways and for obviously very different reasons, the history of the past 15 years for both progressive Black Americans and reactionary white Americans can be summed up as "No more beer summits."

For my money, the Senate Democratic caucus seems to be one of the most serious foreseeable hurdles to any project of constitutional restoration. Not because of a pivotal member or two getting cold feet, but rather a pervasive sclerotic disbelief at what time it is.

A thing about modern life I don't care for is every service provider hectoring you to give them an online review afterward. Constant texts trying to get me to give gold stars to the plumber, the furniture delivery guy, the pediatric urgent care, etc. THAT'S WHAT THE MONEY IS FOR

Yep. Over on the faceplace, I don't post memes or sick burns. I just post a couple articles a day abt shit that will affect THEIR lives. They don't care abt trans or immigrant pain, but they do care abt their dollars.
