"Trump doesn't give a fist bump, I grab that hand. I don't give a hell where that hand's been." ‘I start sucking those fingers, one by one, slowly, while I look at yo’ ass. Dead in the eyes, feel me cuz? It’s a freak off when Trump gets up in here’

There are individual exceptions but as an institution the Democratic party just seems like it's on its last legs, or maybe past that point. A party that views its role as a custodial one just isn't cut out for this century

Everything Donald Trump is doing to Americans and in America was pioneered by Dick Cheney on foreigners and abroad. He threw the imperial boomerang

Good for her.

I have never seen a woman with stronger family annihilator energy than Nancy Mace

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

gay people wanting to get married was a result of what happened during AIDS and I would like us to never forget that

Tried to sneak a photo of a cute doggo and accidentally had long exposure on and I believe I have created man’s greatest expression of art

the marge of the cards

Media outlets who refuse to describe in plain terms what the president did because they find it objectionable are lying to their audiences and running cover for the president. It's as simple as that.

Calling an audible: no more “they’re not acting like they intend to cede power.” I can accept “we need to be prepared” but 99% of the time people say it, it’s sad sack doomer shit, and it’s rhetorically capitulating in advance.

the idea that doing anything whimsical is somehow detracting from the necessary austerity of struggle is a you problem to sort out

The only way out is if we finally finish Reconstruction

Just kidding. There's no such thing as a Hatch Act

I support everyone giving vast sums of money to Andrew Cuomo. It’s the “lighting a million quid on fire” art piece but this time performed by the worst people in the world.

Sigh.

happy bday Irish writer Oscar Wilde, b.1854. “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”

Trump's insistence that Joe Biden was president on January 6 raises new questions about Joe Biden's memory.

“In the longer term, a universal flu vaccine that works across many flu strains and will only have to be taken once in a decade would be the long-term solution,” Laxminarayan adds, “but we are yet to get there.” For now, it's important to get the annual flu shots and COVID-19 shots.

Sound way up

4. This utterly mistaken but seemingly widespread belief that Covid-19 has somehow gone away is precisely the inevitable result of declaring the pandemic to be over and tacitly allowing people to take that declaration to mean that SARS-CoV-2 has magically disappeared.

The rain has soaked through everything. Your socks just sprouted a mushroom. You haven't smelled decent BBQ since your last night in Texas, before mustering. Suddenly, a metallic creak echoes through the fog. They were coming again. The naked cyclists. "Just four weeks a year," you mutter.

Tell me with a straight face he's wrong here

like, the fact that they felt this spectacle was necessary is itself evidence that they don't have the military support that they want

Love this era and style and skill; seeing unsanitized New York is pretty soothing somehow

Cute

What's your favorite cereal mascot? Mine's gotta be the Special K "Kreature", a twisted morass of flesh and teeth who mindlessly pursues those who have yet to try Special K

Update on Novavax COVID vaccine availability from a New York Times reporter: they haven’t been shipped out yet but the supplier plans to ship next week.

To spell some shit out unambiguously: fascism requires domestic abuse to propagate itself. Demands it. There is no way to humanely teach your children that might makes right. There is no way to gently love a spouse you think is your genetic intellectual inferior. These are inextricably linked.

About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”

Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.

Here’s an article about the two researchers who edited the book Fight to Understand ME/CFS takes a major step forward www.otago.ac.nz/news/newsroo...

I think it's important to understand that people who identify as conservatives have not, as a group, turned away as their party has gone to full mask-off fascism whatsoever, so we can see their true ideology and we can stop pretending to believe in the fake ideology they propounded to disguise it.

historically, more Dem-leaning voters have expressed approval of "bipartisanship" than R-leaning (though a significant portion of that is downstream from messaging) but that time is long past, if you spend any time at all talking to normie Dems these days they want heads on pikes

Reward politicians for fighting and solidarity, punish them for seeking bipartisan solutions and abandoning marginalized people or any other appeasement strategy. Replace anyone who doesn't get on board. Repeat until we have driven every Republican and every other fascist from public life forever.

With the discovery of a magazine article that printed heretofore unseen frames of the demo film FRED OTT'S SNEEZE (1894), the Library of Congress has created possibly the earliest extended cut.

Everything is terrible but someone at Weather Underground is continuing a years-long bit that I absolutely love:

love this new york times clip. they recently did a story about how sesame street's set has changed over the years, along with our urban politics. IG nytimes

Redesign of my old toothpaste gal character

It's about a guy who goes undercover as a skeleton jockey (with a real skeleton mascot) to rescue his cousin, who was kidnapped by carnies as a baby, as one does.

This is the best thing you'll see today, and I say that as a person who wrote something awesome today and does not lack for confidence.

One more time, just in case anyone hasn't yet seen it. Gutted at today's news of a double child drowning. Please read and share.
