One thing the Epstein emails show is he was basically doing the “Push it to the Limit” montage from Scarface for more than a decade. Even if they weren’t directly involved, any politician or Wall Street exec of more than 20 years had to at least know what Epstein was about and didn’t care.

Uhhhhh

My 2028 primary vote to whichever Dem candidate promises to make a video set to Run DMC’s “The Kings” of all the gaudy gold shit in the White House being destroyed.

It’s not surprising that Vance cites Gangs of New York as one of his favorite movies but somehow forgets the part where the Catholic Church sides with the immigrants.

Running for Congress on a platform that it should be illegal for Microsoft to ask you to upload an email attachment to OneDrive if you’ve already dismissed that question once.

Cracks are forming in MAGA between the “we aren’t racist enough” and “we aren’t killing poor people fast enough” factions.

At least we have confirmation now that the entire government for the past decade was willing to cover up for Trump in order to protect other pedophiles and enablers that were involved with Epstein.

This is why my favorite Bond film is The Rock.

The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth. Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it. Every single time.

Me when I’m quiet quitting a job:

Two things can be true: The majority of voters will not remember how the shutdown was resolved. The people who always vote in primaries, canvas for candidates and donate to campaigns will remember how the shutdown was resolved.

My dogs and cats when I stop their plan to knock a plate of fried chicken off the kitchen table:

No one will save us but us.

I want the shutdown to end. I want SNAP to be fully funded and I want federal employees to get the backpay they’ve earned. But any CR passed by the Senate that requires House approval but that doesn’t include an extension of ACA subsidies puts House Dems in an incredibly shitty position.

In a chaotic kidnapping raid yesterday, ICE in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood shot a chemical munition into a family’s moving car. The shrapnel from the pepper ball/spray hit a baby. (11/8/2025)

The Roberts Court having to choose between defying their god king or taking food out of the hands of millions of children is some next level US series finale writing. Either they weaken the unitary executive theory or turn expanding the Supreme Court into a moderate position.

Me when I start up a new game of Hearts of Iron.

Whether he meant to or not, Schumer proposed a compromise so simple even a compromised mass media could understand it.

AC/DC is great because their catalogue is mostly songs about either sex or murder and both types are used to pump up stadiums full of people at sporting events.

It won’t be long before there’s more GOP votes in the Senate for impeachment than getting rid of the filibuster.

Proportional representation but based on the number of mochi doughnut places a state has.

Rage against the Machine lyrics, circa 1505: “We’ll settle for mutton now And we’ll settle for mutton later.”

One thing I’m curious to see play out is Dem governed states fully funding SNAP while GOP governed states don’t. I can’t see how that doesn’t make the GOP look terrible and further ratchet up the pressure on them.

Saying that you easily have the power to end a shutdown you are actively ratcheting up the pain on, but also saying that you won’t end it because it will give your opposition some advantage in a distant future is a…choice.

My take on OpenAI is they are purposefully using a model that is capital intensive in order to increase the barriers of entry to potential competitors but haven’t thought about how doing so will result in competitors seeking out less capital intensive business models that are better long-term.

Kathryn Bigelow movie about senate republicans trapped in a room with Trump until they agree to get rid of the filibuster. The Fart Locker

I told my employer last week I didn’t feel comfortable doing a cross country flight the second week of December due to the shutdown. I thought I was being paranoid but I’m feeling vindicated now.

Little known fact is that the fourth crusade was called to expel Bolsheviks from Jerusalem.

All you can eat dumpling buffet called “Wonton Destruction”

These positive election results have got me feeling:

Turns out a “fuck you, starve and die” platform isn’t popular.

Man, even Homer Stokes lost tonight. Terrible results for Trump.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

Going to court to argue that you won’t fund SNAP even though the court ordered you too is endgame mad king stuff.

Kind of wild to watch republicans flail around as their usual scare tactics stop working. Maybe if they call us communists one more time that’ll fix it.

What’s funny about this to me is that the solution was “have stores people want to shop in.”

Big day for the deaths of villains of the ‘00s.

My prediction for tomorrow’s elections is that the overarching theme will not be Dem enthusiasm but MAGA voters staying home.

Developing a theory that the gen x/millennial political split can be traced back to the Children’s Television Act of 1990.

Not great that the fastest growing areas of the US economy are about scamming young men and amplifying them into angry fascists.

Kind of amazing to watch republicans go from “Trump is our god emperor and will have a 1,000 year reich” to “we need to minimize the harms Dems can do to us in 2029” in a matter of weeks.

*Trent Reznor voice* Chicken soup for the soul Black like it’s coal I’ll probably cry And then lose control

Critics say Lavos is going to destroy the planet, but he hasn’t yet. Are they panicking for no reason?

ICE is still active in the Bay Area. They kidnapped a San Jose father in front of his house yesterday. They are still kidnapping people at court hearings. We have a reprieve from the Chicago and LA style invasions because the regime sucks at logistics, but we still need to get prepared.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

A House of Dynamite is one of those movies where I can go “I get what they were trying to do, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it.”

If this “donation” story ends up being true, why do I get the feeling one day it’ll be revealed that Benioff was the one that wrote the check?
