I take no joy in Charlie Kirk’s death. But, for many reasons, not least of which are the jokes and conspiracy theories they hatched after the shooting of John Hoffman and his wife and assassination of Melissa Hortman and her husband, MAGAs can spare me all of their bloodthirsty moralizing

Back to back in my timeline. It’s amazing how much Jeffries sucks.

Graham Greene was one of those actors I didn’t think about much until he showed up on screen and then I was always really happy to see him. RIP.

There’s no such thing as a perfect metaphor for how the rich feel about everyone else…

Purple morning glories this morning.

I just don’t know what to make of a world that ignores all the warnings and blindly dives head first into AI and at the same time cuts scientific research. It’s just too goddamned depressing for words.

Help a working man tell ICE to fuck off! Very short thread -

Ghislane Maxwell tells Justice Dept. she never saw Trump act inappropriately. What exactly would constitute inappropriate behavior to a child sex trafficker?

The funniest part about all these MAGAs getting all pissed off about the Cracker Barrel rebrand is how much Cracker Barrel sucks as a restaurant. Seriously, if you want to go to a “country”-coded breakfast place, always choose Waffle House.

Right Winger Vision

This is nothing new, but the DFL convention endorsement reversal really drives home the point that we are surrounded on all sides by selfish, self-serving ghouls.

Adult human beings getting legitimately mad about the Cracker Barrel (Cracker Barrel!!!) rebrand is both hilarious and just one of the saddest goddamn things I've ever seen.

Young men, if you’re taking any dating/life advice from men who say things like “You gotta be able to cook or something, you gotta be able to clean or something, otherwise what value are you bringing to my life?", you are the reason for your own personal male loneliness epidemic.

Impeach this buffoon act.standupforscience.net/forms/sign-o...

Raw milk lady already suffered more than any of us can imagine, and if she can get a dairy selling this in human stores and the stores that sell it on the hook for a judgment that makes the industry uninsurable, that's worth more than posting about how you personally drink regular milk only.

Given the number of streaming services, it boggles my mind how many times I go to look for a movie and it’s on none of them.

The Monkey is a lot of gruesome, foreboding fun (if you’re into that sort of thing, which I most certainly am).

Who is this guy?

Just a bee

Does anyone doubt that the only “deal” on the table between Trump and Putin was Trump does nothing, Putin keeps doing what he wants and also tells the media that there wouldn’t have been a war if Trump had been President in 2022? youtube.com/shorts/ZU7sB...

I’m not downplaying the horrors of Trump and his lackeys and cult members, but I also genuinely don’t understand why every bit of Democratic messaging doesn’t include ridicule of and laughter at these sad, pathetic, scared little men.

My cousin started his own perfume business. He created the scents himself and you can buy them here. aquacultureff.com

At Security Concepts, we’re predicting the end of crime in Old Detroit within 40 days.

“What if they needed another abortion?” What if you minded your fucking business 😌

I have this Instagram post from a fantastic northern Minnesota watercolor artist named Katie Bromme taped to my monitor because some days I really really need to see it and read it.

That’ll do it.

When I was like 5 or 6, there was a kid who would bully me on my walk home from school. I told my dad about it, and his advice was "Next time he bullies you, punch him hard in the stomach." I did, and he never bullied me again. There's a lesson for America in there.

“Superman’s gone woke”

This woman has officially done more than Chuck Schumer to stand up against these people.

I’m sorry, but 40% of people thought Nazi-punching college professor Henry Jones Jr. (We named the dog Indiana) would vote for Trump and only 34% thought he’d vote for Harris?! I’m completely discombobulated. What in the hell are we teaching our kids, people?!

The reason why the Democrats polling is in the toilet is not because their policy ideas are unpopular; it’s because the left (not just The Left) is furious with their business-as-usual bullshit. Fight back with every tool at your disposal or get the fuck out of the way.

I have a lot of thoughts about the “cities are scary” discourse (most of them boil down to “rightwingers are scaredy-cat liars), but what I’m thinking about today is how much more city residential neighborhoods are like small-town neighborhoods than either are like suburban neighborhoods.

I feel like I’m aging gracefully considering that I’m completely content with the highlight of my week being the caprese sandwiches we made today with basil and heirloom tomatoes we got at the farmer’s market.

Wait, is it true that the Wolves are bringing back the black trees and the Purple Rain jerseys for this upcoming season?

Minneapolis is pretty nice.

My contribution to The Discourse is I think society should give you free time to fuck, a good standard of living so you might find adults who also wanna fuck, an affordable home to fuck in, healthcare & education to fuck safely, and a government that won't dictate who or how you fuck.

Next year’s Twins team may have people pining for the Ron Coomer days.

James Outman sounds like a baseball player created by Hideo Kojima

The fact that 12% of federal judges are black is obviously DEI. The fact that 50% are part of a right wing legal cult that about 5% of law students belong to is a sign of meritocracy.

Somebody I follow (sorry I can't remember who it was) was raving about Clipse's new album Let God Sort Em Out, so I checked it out. And now I'm addicted. So good.

When my wife and I lived in Portland, we took a trip to the Oregon Coast Aquarium. At the time, they had a behind-the-scenes octopus tour (octopuses are high on my favorite animal list), and it was an amazing experience. I bring this up to tell you to read The Soul of an Octopus by Sy Montgomery

Not a Blazers fan (or Blazers hater) but having lived in Portland for 12 years, this image triggered me. Losing the Blazers to Seattle might cause the city of Portland itself to fold.

I can't remember if I've recommended this before, and I don't feel like checking, but Blue Eye Samurai has got to be in my top 5 things Netflix has ever done

Ah BlueSky, never change…wait, actually, no. Please change and do so as quickly as possible.

Currently reading The Unwritten by Mike Carey and Peter Gross. Follows Tom Taylor, who is the inspiration for Tommy Taylor, a character in a hugely popular Harry Potter-like (trans rights are human rights) book series. Or is Tommy Taylor actually the inspiration for the real-life Tom Taylor?

I’m going to try to post a little more about things that make me happy instead of just about things that make me mad.

Why is everything so goddamned embarrassing?

This is fantastic!
