in conclusion, statehood for dc and pr

They got the big game on at the bar

My grandfather owned a bodega in the Bronx. Seeing it in the New York section had the same effect on me.

This is really what separates Trump from Stephen Miller. He'll make it 11/14ths of the way through the 14 words and then stop to complain about Mike Tirico.

Only one who got the ball into the end zone was Bad Bunny

(Woody Allen eating a Da Bomb wing on Hot Ones) WOODY: Boy, that's like dating your first Gentile girl, there's a real sting to it. Wowee, that's hotter than a New York cab in August. Havin' flop sweat like after the Curse of the Jade Scorpion premiere. SEAN: Was it weird marrying your daughter?

My car now takes a more expansive view of canon.

the writers of reality really keeping track of every weird loose thread huh

The semiquincentennial is dead to me.

The objectively correct thing anyone who got scorned for saying it should be throwing in everyone's face right now?

Get fucked Sideshow Bob

"Why did we ever collect this?"

X-Wing vs TIE Fighter 2

Cubans shocked to learn that the Republican Party thinks they're Hispanic

Coruscanti culture is seeing a pagent on the scale of the Olympic Opening Ceremonies every three days.

I don't ask a lot of my politicians. All they have to do is emerge fully formed like Aphrodite springing from Zeus's head, be able to talk like a West Wing character, and be seemingly devoid of personal corruption.

There is a term for this I think

saying some Democrats denounced it while not criticizing it yourself is malpractice

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

the federal government is nearly universally staffed with people who are so dedicated to caring about their neighbors that they volunteer to take a steep pay cut and absurd job instability just to be able to help make your life better without any expectation of thanks consider my ass and my hole

Kamala Harris, famous darling of Gen Z voters.

There is one very fitting way to celebrate the 250th, but I like having an account on this site and not being in jail.

What does Jack Rakove expect of the 250th? “’I think it is going to be a complete disaster,’ I replied, and offered a few reasons to support that view. The most important one…was that the constitutional system is lurching toward collapse and outright failure.”

now, personally, if Dems kept telling me very pointedly that they hate my fucking guts and aren’t going to even pretend to care when I get murdered, I’d simply stop voting for them or expecting them to change but ymmv

There’s a really unpleasant equation one could construct describing how frequently ICE/Border Patrol would have to gun down unarmed American citizens in the middle of the street in order to get elected Democrats to sustain any kind of meaningful push for change.

Why will I not be surprised if they were behind the rise of African and Afghani warlords just a test run to figure out how to break a country apart and put people in charge. That means that Texas and Florida are territories for warlords and just pretending to be states now.

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

I'm not saying CBS News is now a pedophile protection racket, just that it wouldn't be doing much differently if it weren't

This is who runs this account.

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

this is how the WH works now

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

Watching The Big O while doing the dishes I forgot existed. R. Dorthory Wainwright is one of my favorite characters in fiction.

Due to severely cold weather, many animal rescues are in desperate need of fosters. If you have the resources, please consider fostering with your local rescue! NY Capital District: Kitten Angels Operation Snip

My choices of entertainment for the evening before my government-mandated day off is watching The Big O, watching Gundam, or playing Final Fantasy VII. My teenage self is well-fed.

This is what going insane feels like. There are ants crawling inside my brain. They are dressed like Slash. youtu.be/OTttxLeOdYA?...

“surely people are exaggerating and the president didn’t shit himself in front the press in the oval office” folks the president shit himself in front of the press in the oval office

This is like saying New Englander colonists were eventually ran out to Ohio.

Nation Yearns For Relative Calm Of ‘President A Giant Pedophile’ News Cycle https://theonion.com/nation-yearns-for-relative-calm-of-president-a-giant-pedophile-news-cycle/

The Star Wars sequel trilogy is fundamentally a story about how neo-fascism can sneak up on a society that should know better and can even tear apart families that you thought would be safe from this shit. They are fully as prescient as the Prequels were.

I don't think we fully recover from this moment without sucking out the poison that's been injected into news media and spitting it into a fire. This will all happen again if the train stays on the tracks they've laid and all we do is put a new conductor in it.

So believe me I understand this is deeply frustrating and unfair, but a march that does everything right and still gets tear gassed is a successful march that is winning. A lot of the strategy of protest is luring the authorities into engaging in obviously, transparently unjust uses of force.
