Happy "Fuck you, Kim Davis Day" to all who celebrate.

Just rolled over 9k on probably the second to last day of the season. Love this bike. Going to be a long winter.

Guess that's the end of gardening season.

Mandatory prayer inside public schools. No public prayer outside fascist kidnapping factories. That's what "religious freedom" looks like under the GOP: blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/07/f...

Let's break this down. The median 1st time home buyer is now 40 yrs old. Trump's brilliant idea means they won't own the home until they're 90, if they live that long. Meanwhile, they're paying hundreds of thousands more interest to the bank, who keeps it if they die early. 1/

America: We need cheaper groceries, gas, energy, healthcare, college, and housing. Trump: Best I can do is you never live long enough to pay off your home.

Trump and the GOP are taking starving 42 million Americans over the holidays all the way to the Supreme Court.

"It's not greedy to need food," cribbed from @lastweektonight.com, should be a rallying cry. Tax free private jets is greed. Public tax levies on private sports stadiums is greed. Paying bribes to build a gold plated ballroom is greed. Needing to eat to stay alive is not greed.

The thing about Prop 50 is I sincerely hope it gets repealed. But only after Dems have used it, and in other states, to break the GOP's gerrymander, pass real reform, and implement indepent redistricting panels nationwide. Onky then will it be time to retire it. Fight fire with fire.

Mamdani: "I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life but let tonight be the final time I utter his name."

In 1945, German prisoners of war at Camp Butner in NC were shown films of the atrocities the Nazis committed. Many reacted in shame and disgust. 1000 of them burned their uniforms afterwards. There will come a time when Republicans will have to face the atrocities they are sanctioning here.

Let's see those vacant penthouses on Billionaires' Row. You're all moving out like you promised, right?

Wife and I just saw the season's preview of "Come from Away" at the newly remodeled Milwaukee Rep. It was fantastic. An absolute delight. Welcome to the rock indeed.

Garden pepper harvest. Peppers are a fickle fruit. Last year our habaneros underperformed while the Carolina Reapers went crazy. This year, the exact opposite.

Dick Cheney getting punked out of the Most Evil VP Ever award just months before he died is sure something.

Well, the silver lining of Donald Trump utterly destroying the value of the US Dollar for literally no reason at all is my book royalties paid in pounds are worth a lot more.

Not a ton of nice days left in the year. Take advantage where and when you can.

Happy No Normalizing Nazis November to all who celebrate.

The country we fought our independence against because of their oppressive monarchy has done a better, more public, dare I say more noble job of holding a former prince accountable for Epstein connections than we have our own *president. We traded their king for a worse one.

Andy Reid looks like a kindly, wise, slightly befuddled walrus a D&D party would encounter on a beach somewhere.

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026. If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it. So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.” Because that IS what they are going to say.

My local pizza place is playing Type-O-Negative right now and this 90's outsider kid is in fucking heaven.

Sorry guys, balcony season is over. Back inside the house.

Please, you bursting colostomy bag, MAKE THE GOP EAT 24 million Americans losAing their health insurance. Make them eat 42 million Americans going hungry. Solid majorities of both in states that voted to put your traitor, fraud, felon, rapist ass back into power. Hurt your own voters. I beg you.

I am "Watching therapist reaction videos" obsessed with this band. Also, her reaction is exactly how I felt watching this the first time. youtu.be/oTMOErf0Nc0?...

there are very few things that are genuinely a litmus test for intelligence, but getting mad at hearing other languages is on the very short list

Speaker Mike Johnson is a gay man who "adopted" a black male teenager while he was a 20's single and then "married" a woman who ran a gay conversion camp. Mike Johnson is gay. He is a gay man who hates himself for being gay. This is not even an open secret. It's just an objective, observable fact.

Let's not lose sight all of this, the shutdown, 24 million Americans about to lose their health insurance, 42 million Americans about to go hungry, is all because the GOP needs to keep the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein Files from being sworn in. 1/

The GOP is trying to force Democrats into a Sophie's Choice situation between 24 million Americans losing their health insurance, or 42 million Americans going hungry. It's a false choice. Neither have to happen, and Dems are right to refuse to give up the fight for both.

The first company to make kevlar skinned, steel shaft, spear tipped "protest" unbrellas will make a billion dollars by the end of the year.

Some choice pics from my Andy Warhol Museum excursion. I wrote a paper about Warhol back in college. He remains one of my favorite artists. The sequential presentation of his life and work through the building was brilliantly done.

Looking forward to the national media remembering the NYC mayoral race has basically zero national political implications. Idiots.

Found a Gothic R2-D2 today.

If you've got a spare $130,000,000 layin' around to buy military favors during a shutdown caused by the same party you donate tens of millions more to, maybe you should just pay fucking taxes instead.

"Conservatives." What, exactly, are you conserving?

This plaque in the East Wing of the White House has been torn down by Donald Trump, a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist.

And there it is. The Bribery Ballroom is cover. He's razing the East Wing to upgrade his spider hole. Because when he steals the election next year, or cancels it outright, he knows we'll make No Kings look like a PTA meeting. He's terrified.

He's not going to stop at the East Wing. Dictators never do. He's going to demolish the entire White House and build a monument to himself. Because he knows no one else ever will.

He's straight up stealing a quarter billion dollars from us.

I cannot over emphasize how much this never happened.

When all this is over and he is dragged out of the people's house by his fingernails, I want to see every tower, every golf course, every hotel bearing his name razed to the ground and erased from history. This abomination. This obscenity of a man.

If you can steal a bunch of jewels from the Louvre with a ladder and some mopeds, you earned that. France should consider it a consultant's fee.

I spend a year plotting a mystery novel and then this happens.

Okay but the NFC North is doing this thing again through Week 7 where our worst team is .500.

Nazis are like cicadas. Every X years they emerge from deep underground to scream and die.

Should've put more miles on those tennies before trying to chase down an Antifa agent, son.

The craziest thing about Trump firing artillery shells over California that damaged JD Vance's motorcade is it's not even the closest he's come to killing his own VP.

I was 35 when this god damned blight on mankind shat himself into our discourse. I'm 45 now. Barring a blood clot doing its patriotic duty, I'll be 48 before we get another chance to finally excise the world of this rapist, felon, fraud, pedophile traitor. 13 YEARS of our lives!

So, Trump wanted to shoot missiles over an active CA interstate, Gov Newsom closed the road because that's insane, and one of the missiles exploded and damaged a police cruiser and motorcycle that were part of JD Vance's motorcade. Do I have that right?

MAGA: Haha, "No Kings" libtards. Trump isn't a king. Trump: I am King. Here is my crown. Now I'm using the military to shit on civil rights. MAGA: THIS IS WHAT I VOTED FOR!
