perhaps controversial opinion but i prefer alice coltrane on organ over her on piano/harp

pretty sly of melville slipping his own name into moby dick by making the captain “ahab” (assigned herman at birth)

"Wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?" - the President of the United States of America www.kgw.com/article/news...

it is almost impossible to imagine the donald trump of 2016 even *inadvertently* acknowledging to reporters that he's being dogwalked by fox news and his own people, man is in abject decline

yeah i think he fell for ai lol

Psychotic country

Hakeem Jeffries voice: "Donald Trump just ordered Kash Patel to arrest all of my fellow colleagues in the House of Representatives and charge them with treason. What he should be focused on is arresting the rising cost of groceries because of his disastrous tariff agenda."

The medbed thing is funny but maybe it’s bad that the press has no interest in evaluating whether the president has functioning reality-testing

no better way to follow up two days of wookin out than with some ayce kbbq

Nearly each day, I encounter armed National Guard troops. Masked, weapons-wielding thugs intimidate schoolchildren in my neighborhood. My home is persistently buzzed by low-flying, circling copters. And the best the Democratic House leader can come up with about it is a passing “unlawful” comment.

separate from everything, the idea that 2020 was a squeaker but 2024 represents a historical mandate will simply be the death of me

one thing i do think klein is basically right about is that we had a period of progressive discourse where "i don't answer that question" was basically a standard discourse move. we *asserted* our ideas without arguing for them. this was, i think, a huge-ass mistake.

What concerns me is not that Democrats will compromise on something like trans athletes--that question is at SCOTUS now and thus beyond their reach anyway. What concerns me is that I hear far more about what rights of mine they're willing to sacrifice and very little about what rights they'll defend

the vulgar freudianism of chewing some gum

jon barnber

i’m not a top hat guy but we only narrowly avoided that timeline

i’m tired of the globalists (white claw) shoving their woke agenda (green apple flavor) in our faces

Too funny

It's a failure of Dem messaging and a sign of weakness that Steve Bannon has no problem just coming out and saying this. The president is not The President. He's just a confused old man who goes on TV to air his grudges. Stephen Miller is The President, and he's the one pushing this hateful agenda.

i’m listening to a previously-unknown-to-me psych trio shred in a barn god is good

I don't think you need complex political triangulation when the president is shrieking "I am sending in the WAR DEPARTMENT because Portland is AT WAR!" You should just keep saying that he should be removed from office because he is plainly insane

the dem consulting class will end up saying something moronic about how Dems need a rebrand. They don’t need a rebrand; they need senior leadership to resign and be replaced

What ICE says: "this is a wake-up call for our communities to the great work that our officers are doing every day to remove public safety threats" What ICE did: detained the school superintendent Heroes, truly

strange soiree night 1 was a blast—yall are gonna love that shpongle tribute set when it goes on nugs

ME ON A TRAIN: Oh no, I accidentally clicked a video with sound! Oh god, people heard a second of loud sound from my phone. I have torn the social contract. EVERYBODY ELSE ON TRAIN: Shit yeah, train time, time to watch the loudest TikToks

More than anything, they want to be patted on the head and told they're a good boy by the liberal elites

Using government power to force guys to hang out with you and agree you're very smart and strong and badass and cool.

jd vance is intelligent enough to know (a) what blood libel actually means (b) how irresponsible it is to misuse the term. indicative of what a disgusting slimy little freak he is—he chooses this path despite knowing better

josh harris? shouldve renamed the team the washington epsteins

At this point, fine. I’d rather deal with crippled state capacity federal government than Stephen Miller’s federal government

re: the ICE incident in Hyattsville, it's crazy how we all have some awareness there's no way these ICE 'agents' can have any kind of professional law enforcement background. like i have a pretty god damn dim view of police but real police aren't usually -that- chaotic and stupid

My conspiracy theory is that the violent people on the right were hired by ICE this year and that's why their recorded criminal violence has dropped.

"That is the pleasure of fishes.'" - The Perfect Crime

This is also very funny to read after the thoughtcrime memo declaring certain words (being mean to conservatives) tantamount to violence. Trump never fails to humiliate his defenders, were they capable of shame. bsky.app/profile/bgru...

if we don't one day throw a fuckload of people in prison for what they've done to innocent families, we will just invite this to happen again

heading out to strange soiree tomorrow with a stupid amount of cheese and crudites leftover from a work event. also looking forward to a highlight of any philly area trip: stopping at the total wine in claymont, delaware

the democrats are collectively a sorry sack of dog shit (with some solid outliers don’t get me wrong) but holy fuck at least they aren’t uk labour

The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of vengeful college republicans

this is very bad and the whole thing is so textbook fascist government trying to entrench itself (the section about how “anti-fascism” is a misnomer is cute) but we’ve also seen these idiots can’t Joint Task Force their way out of a wet paper bag

you cannot "smolbeanify" the moral agency of millions of people who decided to enshitty the rest of the world, whether it be USAID, climate change, or whatever

anti-vax is one the most toxic political positions in america but it hasn't usually been covered like that because one segment of the population where it *is* somewhat popular is among business and media elites.

listening to the remastered snack benefit show on the blues for allah bonus tracks and to a certain point i can understand why they shelved blues for allah but they were cowards and fools for shelving stronger than dirt

If it wasn't for my friend here, you'd be right.

CHOTINER: And you thought it would be funny to do a fake interview by me? ME: A lot of people have, so CHOTINER: You were looking for engagement? ME: Well, to make someone laugh I guess CHOTINER: How many likes and reposts did it get? ME: That's, uh, not really the metric...look can we start over

Imagine one of those campus interruptions that the right denounced as an assault on free speech, only the president of the university personally set aside some seats so activists could heckle a conservative speaker. Also Yasmin Williams is a phenomenal talent and you should go see her live.
