A hat trick of hat tricks. 3 games in a row. LFG LAFC

A fun fact about McCarthyism is that just two and a half years after he was condemned and censured, Sen. Joseph McCarthy drank himself to death at 48. Fevers break. Petty tyrants fall. Censorship and persecution drive good people to stand together and fight back.

HE COMES FROM SAO PAULO AND HE PLAYS FOR ARSENAL

Trent Reznor is so locked the fuck in I hope he makes music for another 60 years. One of those shows you remember forever. Nobody does it like NIN. 🖤❤️

Saw an older white man on here (a coincidence, surely) naysaying a boycott in response to the Kimmel firing because "most people won't know or care about Kimmel being fired" and "when do boycotts work?" Tesla and Target, THIS YEAR. Ignore this nihilistic bs. Every small action adds up.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

It’s going to break your heart how many people you know, love, and respect will turn out to be cowards. Prepare yourself as best you can. You are not alone, but you are your own center. Be a strong center.

great news! you're not actually seeing karl rove, john yoo, and david frum criticize the administration's lawlessness more stridently than dem leadership. you, reader, were infected with rabies by a brown bat 36 hours ago and this is all just the virus working its way through your nervous system

It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted Jimmy Kimmel, and I didn't know what I was doing in New York

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Remember how in your 20s if you spent some months eating right and doing your skincare and just generally weren't in full goblin mode, you could start to look and feel incrementally better? This appears to no longer work in your 40s. I'm still fuckpie. Revert to goblin mode

Well this is disappointing
