RIP Alex

We really do need a nationwide strike on Monday

You’re not ugly it’s just the dead of winter

Love

One component of marriage is seeing how many of life’s failures two people can withstand together and still come crawling back to love

Sharing these lovely words from @joshuaturek.bsky.social on bandcamp friday…

John Fetterman is just three republicans standing on top of each other in a sweatshirt

As a creative person I have so much to do that no one’s making me do

The media created a caricature of Greta Thunberg but she is actually a moral force who is no longer viable as a product to the same corrupt media. If we all had her moral backbone humanity would be so much stronger

Maybe late stage capitalism is just where the people who love it most throw a violent tantrum to grieve its end

America: Release the Epstein files Trump: Tylenol

40 year old poet printing out work resumes at the public library who am I Charles Bukowski?

Strongly worded statements are the Democratic politician’s version of “thoughts and prayers”

I’m convinced Andrew Cuomo doesn’t want to run for mayor again but his moneyed handlers are making him engage in a humiliation ritual for failing them against a candidate who might actually help people

This is barbarism

Its not even the bread and circus anymore the big beautiful bill ate up the last of the crumbs its just a circus now starring the worst entertainers the members of the ruling class themselves

Why don’t these politicians on the Epstein list just release the Epstein list

Instagram should have a feature where if a mutual hasn’t liked one of your posts/stories in five years it automatically unfollows them

“‘(Katz) laid out an operational plan for a crime against humanity. It is nothing less than that,’ Sfard said.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

I’m in a coffee shop with no restroom which feels like a blatant violation of the Geneva Convention

4th of July is just Pride for republicans

Cuomo to his billionaires handlers and blackmailers who forced him to run: ok I lost can I please fade back into the dark recesses of history now?

I wish this summer was shaping up to be a little more Barbie and a lot less Oppenheimer

The United States is just a child actor who got famous at way too young of an age and learned all the wrong lessons from its success and now we are witnessing the bottoming out

The United States is just a child actor

Morrissey named his autobiography Autobiography

Marines being sent to police the streets of L.A. for a U.S. government that has left so many of them living on those very streets once they’re done with them

I don’t miss Twitter I miss being young and wasting my youth on Twitter

So many liberals are one stock market crash away from becoming progressives

If you leave a comment under a popular video but no one engages with it is that the internet equivalent of muttering something under your breath on the bus

Bad sandwiches and propaganda films sounds like theyre making Greta go on birthright

Love your children or they might grow up to become ICE agents

My only problem with this app is I’m not unhealthily addicted to it

If seeing a Waymo tagged and on fire upsets you more than a teenager ripped out of his high school graduation by ICE your mind is no longer your own

L.A. Doesn’t Play

Stand up comedy is hard but its easy compared to promoting stand up comedy shows

Not to brag but someone in Estonia bought my new poetry book and gave it 3 out of 5 stars on goodreads

We take photos at our grandparents funerals so that one day we’ll have photos of us at our own

Wanna feel old? Judd Apatow made this movie 13 years ago and now you’re the one who’s 40

Your ex may have gaslighted you but he wasn’t as bad as the New York Times spending 18 months pretending to be journalists while denying a genocide

Where’s the New York Times article?
