I got a five pound bag of chocolate chips from Costco, so this week the kids at the food pantry lunch are getting brown-butter chocolate chip cookies with miso.

I feel like I’m being non consensually pulled in to other people’s kink universe. Oh you sat on your hands and knees and arranged all her majesty’s shoes? And she still cheated on you with men she found in a peat bog? Should we throw a key party? Should we invite Keith Olbermann

alright, let's try this again

LIsten to Anime Sickos Podcast. In addition to being funny and life-affirming, it's also VERY well-made. Outstanding editing. You will never sit through ten minutes of "okay, cool, well. haha we should end the ep though. haha okay well talk to you later man" etc.

me, reading your worst electoral takes in the time of fascism

There's the easy link! Listen to some work stories, notice the caliber of the production and hosting! Pretty "best in the biz" wouldn't you agree?

Anime Sickos Podcast! Not sure where to start? Listen to one of the ones with me on it! It's like going to a party where only know one person (me) but somehow the night gets magical and you wind up committing some petty crimes and standing around on a beach in the cold, reluctant to go back home.

People say Cancel Culture is real and then you see Lydia Tár being invited to meet the Pope. 🙄

VEINS is a treat that marked our household language forever

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

if you're having an event, you should also save a front row seat for Dario. he should be welcomed everywhere with reserved front-row seating. right this way maestro, may I take your coat

RED_DR4G0N: hay sexy :] willgrahamphd: Hello. RED_DR4G0N: wanna be witness 2 a great becumming? ;) willgrahamphd: No. RED_DR4G0N: y not :( RED_DR4G0N: do u not like bald guys willgrahamphd: I am currently busy inventing a murderer in my mind. RED_DR4G0N: o RED_DR4G0N: wait do u like murderer guys?

“If you're arguing against us while using our language, we're winning." –GW Bush advisor Matt Dowd as the proto-fascist “war on terror” raged

like a military plane, I get a new kill mark on my fuselage each time a therapist asks me, "Why do you keep yourself from being happy?"

dystopian ass weather report

Dendroid Highway is my adventure comic about a fat middle aged long haired butch who does things in her space armor

and then one day, you’re minding your own business, you learn that this man has gotten himself a woman. and you think, “oh no. that can’t be good. oh she’s decades younger? well. good luck to them.” <matty riff begins to resolve> and good luck to us all, I say, ONE two three ONE two three

<matt douglas piano riffs> if you’re lucky in this life, right, you’ll only ever know a couple of guys like the one in this song… weather beaten townie from a long dynasty of guys you would hope to avoid. the kind of guy who tells women he’s sober because he only smokes DMT, you know?

ME, a sage: Mandy Patinkin could play anything, anyone. YOU, a fool: Not a heroic Puerto Rican cab driver. ME:

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

“Pretty quiet today, eh, officer?” “Yeah, all the bad people are asleep, waiting for dark.”

Probably not 3 days pass at a time without me thinking about shit in this Graeber essay. Pairs real well with the line from Veins about how the teachers don't tell you about how you can get a GED so the popular kids have a steady supply of kids to torture.

Remembering the (maybe apocryphal) story of the reporter going to Derrida's place and being surprised he had a single bookshelf with a handful of books. Our reporter goes, "Uh, bro, you only have like 15 books?" and Derrida goes, "Yeah, but I've read them all very well."

thinkin again of Pynch-man

It rocks that all 20 people who genuinely think the Olivia Nuzzi stuff is interesting have editorial discretion at major media outlets. Just publish your group chats

Olivia Nuzzi loved it. She loved its single unfocused eyeball set deep in a shapeless wad of pink. She loved the wet sound of crunching through bone when it swallowed a rat. She loved the sewer stink wafting off it, from being born in a sewer. She was its "Livvy" and it was her "Unnamed Skin Thing".

This dictatorship of illiterate pedophiles will fall

cracking up at my own bruce

they’re saying on the news goku is sick. they’re saying he ate a box of sunmaid raisins and they’re poison for him like for dogs. the camera cut to the weatherman for the forecast and he can’t keep it together. everyone in this town loves goku

outside of individual donations to gofundmes and such, one helpful destination for your money right now is this bond fund. everyone being released from broadview needs to pay $1500 bond, which is obviously insane. it's going to cost like $925k to successfully spring 615 people linktr.ee/mw_bondfund

free bodies, free borders, free choices, and free from fuckin fear.

restrainin’

okay so not this, but sort of this--my skills are rusty and the thought was intrusive

one of the genius maneuvers i do fairly regularly is im like ok i need to reorganize my apartment. and i pull everything off shelves and out of closets and then i go eh you know what. i made som egood progress. but im tired. ill finish this later. and my entire place is covered in my bullshit

Epstein's emails read like they were written by a dog who got turned into a human right at the moment the spell started wearing off

jeffrey epstein won't see your jokes about how poorly written his emails were, but your barely literate friends also won't see them, because they can't read. fire away

multi-volume perfect bound slipcase set of these emails from the world's least literate creeps with little headshots and minibios of all the contributors, maps, etc.

the good part about being a socialist is that you get to be right about everything that's wrong with the world. the bad part is that everything that's wrong with the world is still wrong with it

I know we're going to beat them and going to beat them so bad there'll never be a them like them ever again; however, today I am just absolutely agog at the ocean of banal cruelty. I guess I'm lucky I still have a conscience that can be horrified by the confirmation of its cynicism, but Jesus.

COOGAN: i haven't heard your Peter Griffin but I assume its something along the lines of "Holy Crayup, Lowis" BRYDON: That is where you're so wrong, thats the very thing I don't do. COOGAN: well, do your Peter Griffin. BRYDON: before the cancellation Peter said "howely CWAP, Louis,"

“Thank you for being my journey in this.“

It’s also cool to get older and keep reading and have books that are also formative in, like, your 20s and 30s. Barthelme’s Sixty Stories? I got assigned it in that same grad school and read that copy to tatters, bought a new one, marked it up to hell, then a friend gave me another-another copy.

I was 13 years old and forbidden from reading R-rated books like Stephen King. Then I saw the ”Don‘t Fear the Reaper” opening of The Stand miniseries by accident and declared, “I’m going to read whatever this book is,” and they did not stop me. Everything opens up after that.
