thinking back to when eric cantor got knocked out in a primary in 2014

Should've been AG

Fight on, Fleetwood!

I can honestly say that being just plain nice to people makes me a much happier person.

This conversation was an unexpected delight

Lather rinse repeat.

"It’s a scandal that the U.S. is pulling back from any efforts to address environmental challenges. The rest of the world should ignore efforts by the U.S. to delay progress… and I’m hopeful that other countries will continue to step up." @petergleick.bsky.social www.latimes.com/environment/...

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

Amen

Amen They are still tarring us with Robert Byrd's Klan membership in the forties. And he's been dead for 15 years.

This story is crazy, and the writing is excellent all the more so for its candid presentation of the facts.

I love the mirroring going on. You come out in your ridiculous uniforms and we'll come out in ours.

USC says No to the compact. Not the "Hell No" I would have preferred, but it's imperative these days to give folks credit for doing the right thing.

Look at this senate majority leader, out here threatening me with a good time...

Thematically, I think this is the most effective approach to protesting or current circumstances. Heighten the absurdity of the government's tactics by holding up a mirror. The more disproportionate their anger, the more everyone laughs at then and the weaker they become. Then we win.

No one should ever post about Stephen Miller without including a picture of the time he appeared on television wearing spray-on hair. Mock them mercilessly.

ICE lies. Tell a friend.

Tag yourself, I'm this guy

What's your sign?

It does seem as though tariffs are his preferred means of self-soothing

Repetition is funny, but you have to commit. First it's only amusing. Then annoying. Really annoying. Followed by absurd. Then hilarious; surreal even. Now I'm crying it's so funny. OK you went too far with it. F'real stop it! Why are you always like this? I'm leaving. Wait, it's funny again...

If you haven't seen your notice, check your spam filter. Or better yet, go for a walk in the woods or on the beach.

This was a welcome double shot of hope from @pablo.show heading into the weekend.

People in Paris were mad at the king for 40 years. There were major uprisings in Chihuaha in the decades leading up to the Mexican Revolution. Whatever bright line you think is being crossed right now, just know that this is the prologue.

There was that time he tried to kill Captain America, but I'm willing to overlook it in light of everything else.

Not the best show ever, but it was strange and good, and I wanted more

This is the quote on the other side of my sign.

My sign at the last No Kings protest was this quote from the Declaration

Lesser Known Last Words

The failure to call out bad faith actors and arguments has been the sine qua non of this political era. So this is encouraging to see, and we must encourage others to do likewise.

Sure, this just confirms my priors, but in my defense, my priors were always correct.

Slightly diminish a book Strange in a Strange Land

Slightly diminish a book Watership Downer

I feel like it bears repeating: View footage and posts through a critical lens, my friends. Find a trusted source of info and stick to their timeline For my part, if I haven’t seen the event in question with my two eyes, I factcheck rigorously and will post when I am sure I know what I’m seeing

Doc I trust more than RFK Jr

Hope your freedom to say "re*ard" was worth it, dumbasses.

If you see this, quote post a spherical borb 🐥🐥

tonight feels like a real test case as to whether the internet can manifest our deepest desires into the world.

Sometimes we must balance a loveseat on top of an electrical transformer box, mirroring the unsteady & unintelligible reality of modernity. The soft chair, pierced on cold metal, invites us to sit, but at what cost? Must comfort always be precarious? Can we trust the support technology offers?

This guy sandwiched a lot of puns into a single post.

This is a beautiful story about the connections between us that we too often fail to see.
