also not lost on me that as democratic socialists are winning some elections, a new red scare targeting anarchists, antifascists, and their allies is digging in hard, and today handed down 30, 50, and 100 year prison sentences to activists and organizers

learning there's an internet commentator database gave me a real pang of nostalgia for the good old days of the world wide web

lol did they now

was that guy with the fruit hat in full-blown shoe-polish blackface or did i just hallucinate it

bro how are you not embarrassed to be that obviously stalling for time

that looked like the equivalent of the cornerback grabbing the WR's jersey with both hands and still giving up a touchdown

fuck that was close

currently making progress on this pot of chili I made yesterday, which is cutting WAY down on the number of decisions I need to make this week

my horse was a union organizer for 25 years. i rode her to picket lines of wildcat strikes. we used to leave horse apples at trivia nights to support striking workers. you wouldn't survive 3 seconds in her vagina. it would shrivel up what's left of your balls. i miss her terribly.

completely absurd for my phone to say its "storage is full" and i should "delete some pictures" 🙄

watching dudes jump up on stage at a hardcore show:

the speech bubble on Messi is implied

with notably rare exceptions, the nbc news chief foreign affairs & chief washington correspondent has not been fucking the chair of the federal reserve

disparagingly calling them “the groups” or even “special interests” is just a way of saying “i hate my own voters” without being so blunt. they have influence precisely because they represent large swathes of the democratic base!

My neighbor told me a cat keeps eating his british prime minister so I asked how many PMs he has and he said he just goes to the commons and gets a new PM afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding PMs to a cat and then his daughter started crying.

Cape Verde the only unbeaten team in World Cup history

CABOOOOOOO VERDE

not everybody agrees 😑

giving me flashbacks to Chris Davis, and *nobody* wants a repeat of that era of Chris Davis

keep em coming!

if i were a world cup player i would simply not jump way offsides on a free kick 🤦‍♂️

the story of the internet

You're telling me economists didn't accurately predict human behavior?

Thinking about Major Garland Briggs

every one of these dipshits would have a stradivarius bronzed

me to that box of annie's shells and white cheddar that's been sassing me:

also important to note that some of those psychos and idiots are dead and fuck 'em

RIP old town theater, you were a great place to have a beer while watching the world cup on a movie screen that undoubtedly did not have a license for a public display

hey what's that podcast you like about how SCOTUS sucks shit?

hm I just realized that I'm willing to excuse the "you need to know the story already" aspect of the Bakshi LotR in a way that I'm not for the TINKER TAILOR starring Gary Oldman but I think I can square that: high fantasy can work through vignettes but for a spy story the full story has to work

maybe they sing it with different lyrics there? 🎵 Almost heaven, P N Dubya / Cascade Mountains, Stillaguamish River 🎵

"vote blue no matter who" is unfortunately completely irreconcilable with "we need to burn out corruption root and stem." sad to say making this omelet is going to take longer than we had hoped

“[W]e, with love, shall force our brothers to see themselves as they are, to cease fleeing from reality and begin to change it. For this is your home, my friend, do not be driven from it; great men have done great things here, and will again, and we can make America what America must become.”

An interesting thread from a month ago that predicted exactly what we’re seeing in the reflecting pool now (peeling up, prolific microbial activity)

by implication, behar would’ve driven a harder bargain with iran

the only Clinton I want to hear from is George Clinton may he, the mothership connection, and the extraterrestrial brothers finally lead the way to us becoming one nation under a groove

scroll up in the conversation and you'll see this post is actually quite understated

those alignment charts need another axis you've got your lawful–chaotic and good–evil, but you need hapless–competent as well for a more complete picture

name a TV show no one remembers but you. LANDSCAPE OF GEOMETRY featuring the most 1980s intro sequence ever broadcast on public television

holy hell i feel terrible for the UZB keeper

ok I have now picked up my copy of WOLF WORM from the library and determined (with an assist from identifont.com ) that it's typeset in Berling quite a readable typeface overall but the very noticeable spur on the exclamation point is a bit distracting (to the point that I had to look it up)

Perfect way to describe the current state of children’s safety on the Internet.

"offence by goalkeeper" is absolute bs
