I wrote about the siege of Chicago, what it feels like to live here, about the violation of the ICE invasion and the gratuitous violence of the president against a city he's hated for years:

After 30 years in prison and 25 years on Louisiana's death row, Chris Duncan walked out of Angola today a free man. "I'm cruising down a highway," he texted me. "Most glaring emotion is shock."

To be clear Lizza’s story is that Nuzzi sat on important matters of national significance for personal benefit and he’s sat on these details until he could personally benefit. All of DC media needs to be thrown into the sea. Anyone who defends these people is a goddamn clown.

We got a tablet for Kick during early Covid and it's still going strong. She hasn't asked for an upgrade, just uses Mr. A's when she needs functionality for something like animation.

If only there was a way for them to redeem themselves. Imagine if every time they went on some stupid political yell-show they were asked WHY AREN'T YOU CAUCUSING WITH THE DEMOCRATS THEN in the same tone Dems are asked about every barista's fucking tweet.

I'm going insane because people constantly recommend using AI for things and it is always, ALWAYS worse than repeatedly bashing my head on a brick. It's like you have an actual problem & all anyone recommends is "have you tried talking to my cousin? He drinks bleach & doesn't wash his pants"

Because if you're an emotionally immature asshole incapable of building a meaningful life for yourself, the best solution is to bring other people into your meaningless immature assholery. "I can fix him" is a JOKE, people!

Trump doesn't remember anything he learned after the age of 8 at this point, and like the Syrian president demonstrated, he will let you get away with murder if you're tall and handsome. Exceptions: (Zelensky, Obama) Trump owes russia and Obama is black.

At a recent gathering of Rogers Park volunteers, we heard from a neighbor who choked up telling us about their dad turning around and going home when he heard whistles up the street. "One of you may have saved his life that day." It all matters, it really does.

Everything is awful but this morning my kid picked up the larger of the two cats and scolded me for body-shaming him, saying, "Mom, he's not fat, he's family-sized!" So now we have a large cat to share with the whole table.

Every NFL team should have two starting quarterbacks and rotate them during the games so nobody's defense knows what the hell is going on.

Other fun things to do if you're white and safe: Drive around with a GIANT Mexican flag sticker on your car, put up anti-ICE fliers on light posts, ask your local coffee shop not to give them the bathroom code, etc etc.

I love him. “The first time I caught up to [ICE], I could tell that they already knew who I was. They had seen me before, so they thought they were just going to speed away. I was like, ‘Ha ha, bitches, I got a new scooter!’”

But but but they'll say Dems are anti-law enforcement!!! EVEN OTHER COPS HATE THESE ASSCLOWNS. The pro-law-enforcement position, if you must do that, is to let law enforcement enforce the law and throw Trump's J6 Proud Boy goons in jail!

But the point (there is a point) is, people fetishise the idea over the hard work of plotting and character development and research and internal consistency and just writing the fucker, because the Idea is the sparkly magic bit. And this is what makes them put value in the AI prompt.

Do any of these "room for grace/redemption" hand wringers ever look at the normies suffering actual consequences from the wingnut puke funnel, or is that consideration reserved for White Citizens Council alums?

Grace and redemption doesn't need to come with a job anywhere. He's rich beyond dreams of avarice and could just go work in a food pantry but this sick narcissistic piece of shit wants to feel important. You have to make amends by doing more than flapping your mouth.
