I never really read any of Dan McQuade’s stuff (I’m not a sports addict, not from Philly, etc) but the glowing remembrances from his colleagues inform us on how we should live our lives. I would like to be remembered as Dan has been. So now I’m learning more about who Dan was. Funny how that works.

Ice out

“Turn down for what” I whisper to myself as I chug a double dose of DayQuil and a 5 hour energy

Me when my kid comes home from daycare with a runny nose and tries to give me a hug

I can’t talk during moments like this because I get super Irish about it and immediately want raw vengeance. that and I am reminded that the reason we are here is America has a stupid two party system and the side apparently representing equity and sanity are a pack of useless careerist cunts

“don’t give them what they want” they are manufacturing their justifications post-hoc. they are already doing what they want. you are not responsible for the actions of your oppressor. you are only responsible for keeping your neighbors safe and that will always be seen as defiance

You think you hate us? Look at what we’ve done. NOBODY hates us more than we hate us.

Democratic politicians who refuse to call for abolishing ICE are refusing to represent their constituents and instead are representing Republican voters (looking at you @booker.senate.gov)

If we had a functional Democratic Party, they would be putting this in front of every American, daily.

Go Panthers Fuck ICE

If I’m at a Wal-Mart and a bunch of pedophiles and Nazis are openly wandering the aisles, I will simply leave the Wal-Mart. There are other stores! Wal-Mart doesn’t let people be openly antagonistic for this reason. Twitter should have that standard, and failing to do so is not some moral victory

Please, MAHA folks. Shovel it into your faces. At least I don’t have to fight you if you’re too busy fighting cholesterol.

This is always what the “Thin Blue Line” was about. It’s not a barrier between us and the bad guys. It’s a boot on our throats and a gun to our heads.

“Emerson does not have a mother today because one of you murdered a woman in cold blood yesterday.”

I heard you like ICE dawg so I put ice under your ICE

bluesky is where elder millennials enjoying internet retirement meet younger millennials with untreated depression

Finally catching up on the Sapiens episode of @ifbookspod.bsky.social and I almost choked on my drink when @michaelhobbes.bsky.social said “…they are mostly eating deez nuts.”

The number of times I ran off to my room and slammed my door as a kid growing up was exactly one, when my parents told me they were getting a divorce. Meanwhile, my kid just shrieked and slammed his door because I gave him two cornbread muffins instead of three. WHAT IS GOING ON

If I buy Karl Marx’s Capital from Amazon his ghost is gonna haunt me forever huh?

Welcome to December! The best month of the year! Every day leading to Christmas, I’m going to post a Christmas song you may not know so you can expand your holiday playlist. BUT NOT TODAY! Instead, this is just the best Christmas song ever written. Enjoy! 1/25 youtu.be/PhKVSZsRxQM?...

No big deal, just making the Italian guy stand on a float of dry pasta and sing Ava Maria or some shit. America is wild.

Tragedy at the NYC Thanksgiving Day parade, as a demagorgon has eaten the remaining original members of Foreigner…. Up next: Pac-Man!

“I was a fiend, before I became a teen…”

I have ADHD and loved school, but that only counts as evidence if I’m interviewed in some profile that needs to confirm its priors

In a few months, these fuckheads are going to claim AI needs a bailout with our tax dollars because of cancer research or national security or some bullshit. Never believe them.

A movie that takes place where you’re from (The movie takes place mostly outside of Charlotte, NC, not the titular Talladega)

Ceasefire means you have ceased to fire. Once you fire again, it is not a test of the ceasefire, it is an end to the ceasefire. Hope that helps @apnews.com

A coworker that no one enjoyed being around showed up to the office Christmas party once, insulted people’s spouses, got plastered, & spilled food everywhere. When he left that night, he went to make his rounds to say bye to everyone, but I was the first and I simply said “no, you’ve done enough”

One of the many reasons I feel like I don’t belong in this country anymore is right here. The fact that no one in this room pulled this man’s card and laid into him is weak shit. I don’t care if you’re the president. Treat people this way and I’ll always have time to set you straight.

“I’m sober, I just take DMT” is the kinda of contradictory statement drug addicts often make. This is why counselors base treatment on actions, not words. Would be nice if our media would do the same.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

More than just this. Repeating that he SHOULD be impeached, removed, and prosecuted is the only way any of that COULD ever happen. You have to create space with the narrative before the world can follow.

Could my family skip dinner just one night? Like, we gotta cook every single day? FOR WHAT? TO LIVE? sounds like bullshit to me

If only Dick Cheney were alive to see this

on the topic of dick cheney, one thing i’ve always said is that you shouldn’t kill a million people

This is how you know these fools cannot read the political winds. Miller can’t realize that he is wildly unpopular, even despised by the supporters of his own president. It would actually hurt Mamdani more to support him, but that would require an ego death Miller is incapable of. Fucking loser.

I don’t like to see bad things happen to people, but when one’s own hatefulness is the cause, I can only give you a giant-sized “WELP!”

Stop the count!

I never knew that in the United States literally the president can do anything as long as everybody agrees not to stop them. Very weird, realizing the entire thing was made of cotton candy

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Doing the damn thing. Let’s go America!

One of the biggest issues in democratic politics is how the consultants everyone hires sees voters as just a cash machine and they pummel them with messages asking for money instead of activating them for politics. It rightfully makes people extremely cynical.

subtly downgrade a band: Five and a Quarter Inch Nails

They are doing this because their biggest fear is being immediately forgotten, because they’ve never done anything worthwhile in their lives. They’re dedicated only to destruction and that doesn’t leave much to celebrate when you’re gone.
