Fellow Pennsylvanians, it's time to start putting our support behind Conor Lamb to serve as the next Senator from the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

President Trump, please accept my Pizza Hut Book It Award. It's pretty old, but I believe you can still redeem it for a free personal pan pizza. It is my honor to give it to you.

A+ for the Gentleman from California.

Thomas Paine, The American Crisis, No. 1

"The Friends of our Country have long seen and desired that the Power of making War Peace and Treaties ... should be fully and effectually vested in the general Government of the Union. But the Impropriety of delegating such extensive Trust to one Body of Men is evident." GW, 1787

Bill Kristol, going hard

Politics have not changed much in a decade.

After months of waging war on "DEI," the Trump regime releases an Epstein file that is disproportionately Black

I think President Crazy Eddie is doing a great job with this speech. Very presidential. youtu.be/aTIfUnfZSrM?...

There is no room for bigotry on our turf.

The U.S. is giving dying mall vibes. I can't explain it, but you know I'm right.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

"The Centrality of Slavery" arrived today. www.pennpress.org/978151282842...

I'm someone who has had a very stormy/complicated (and mostly bad) relationship with Catholicism in my life, but I dunno, reading this just reminding me of its good parts, and also shamed me into signing up for a shift driving for the local food bank. May it also shame you, person reading this lol

This is some damn good reporting

The Versailles-ification of the United States

Post a perfect album from the 90's that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice in Chains. (They all suck, anyway)

We will never stop speaking out. Transphobia is white supremacist brain rot and the sooner we can shame these people out of polite society the better.

There is some masterful writing in this complaint.

Kirk didn't serve in the military or hold office. The war hero treatment -- half-mast flags, military guard, Air Force Two escort, calls for a statue at the Capitol or to lie in the Rotunda -- shows that for MAGA, service to Trump has become the highest, most honorable form of service.

The big reason I'm trying to hammer "civil conflict/political violence" here is because I've spent a substantial chunk of the last five years looking at mass graves. I want a society where people aren't plotting to kill their neighbors and throw them into one. That's where all this can lead.
