To add on top of all this, a freak who feels the need to exert extra revenge on everybody else after having grown up as the son of an electrician and a teacher (epitaph-worthy hardship). Divorced (presumably due to being an insufferable human) and looking 15 years older as par of the course.

Ezra Klein is really out here making it seem like whiteness is some intellectually crippling shit.

Having lived/worked in the US for almost as long as her (although not a single day with questionable immigration status), I believe my grasp of the English language and its pronunciation is, uhm, a little more advanced than this. I might have also come up with a better speech (writer).

If stupidity/ignorance, even if performative, gave someone velocity, Maria Bartiromo, after asking this question, would have had to pump the brakes going uphill.

I loved that my Desert Storm veteran neighbor Mitchel took his Harley out today, blasted Go-go on the system and honked at me riding by as I mowed the lawn.

Nobody knows if/when the world will come to its senses again, but I'd be very much into the idea of doing a trip from Nome, AK to Chukotka, RU, setting my watch 20 hours ahead after a short-ish flight, and not experiencing any touristy bullshit in the process.

Empty stadium: key backdrop.

When 90s Bloodhoung Gang lyrics come to life with DoD.

Good to know that supporting and advancing artists with disabilities doesn’t reflect “the nation's rich artistic heritage and creativity as prioritized by the President”.

And that's how you move on from a conspiracy theorist. To a drunk conspiracy theorist.

It's an experience when you encounter somebody who is incapable of ever feeling any embarrassment, but really should 90% of the time.

As a former (and still spiritual) neighbor of Germany who is very well aware of his own country’s past, I trust JD and Marco will get themselves new assholes ripped for villainously batting for the AfD. May (God or) the German government find a fun way at some point.

It's a daily contest for the "admin member with the most shortsighted / lazy / dimwitted / asinine / pedestrian / appalling (or a combination) take on an issue" award, and on some days it's a toss-up between several. Like, I wonder what this guy's solution would be for fixing a paper jam.

This manchild does not appear to have matured much since the Real World Boston.

Its "Average-white-guy-accidentally-in-US-Government-thinking-of-himself-as-an-alpha-male-while-being-incredibly-dumb" time.

"By September I will know that testosterone is a steroid, and my current spouse might come to terms with the number of other women I've slept with."

What a waste of an N-3B Parka.

Plus, I swear, Cotton looks like a MAGA Mr. Bean in this one.

My recent 53rd birthday has almost exactly halved my life between EU (AUT) and the US. And before I draw my last breath, I hope that they will grow to be close and even better allies again under the guidance of future US leaders.

Timeline cleanse 🌞

It was always clear Djokovic is a jerkwad with a messianic victim complex, the other one doesn’t know that testosterone is a steroid.

Related to this, I recall an interesting experience sharing Sir Karl Popper's Paradox of Tolerance with some of my friends after certain events in 2017, and being showered with rather irate "The US doesn't need to consider silly stuff like that" type reactions.

I admit that, prior to reentering after a trip to Austria at BWI last WED, I thought about that, in a country of 340,000,000, my last name is, by all indications, astoundingly unique. I am a greencard holder, and who knows, maybe Global Entry was a good thing for me to have that day.

I watched this while spending a week with family across the ocean. Among a few things, the tear she reportedly shed at the end of Barry O.'s farewell visit especially did it for me.

Went all the way from DC to Upper Austria to help with some school walk chaperoning.

A second one for good measure. My regular one is presumably arriving a day too late, so the official at the consular office and I laughed about it. Public service makes a difference in people‘s lives, and I have deep respect for the folks doing it across the Atlantic.

Word.

"However you define 'woke,' anti-woke means being a cunt who wants to indulge bigots." --Steve Albini. It's really not that hard to [continue to] be fair and decent to others on a personal level.

To reference a Germs EP, although one shouldn't have to... [What We Do Is Secret]

My favorite by that band from Baltimore.

Normally, most journalists probably wouldn't bother asking a dimwitted, clueless yet hubristic dope even mildly complex questions, but alas...

It's ok, there will be more rockets to waste. Have some more Ketamine, ruin some more things today.

I insist that, even 30 years later, "Canadian Bacon" should remain satire.

It's Fasching/Carnivale for a couple days, and I'm indulging in not giving a f_ck.

Rode bike down to Union Station. MARC train never really made it out of the station due to a problem ahead and got cancelled after 30 min of waiting. Rode back home and drove to work. Try that if you don’t have the means to bypass failing public transit

Unnecessarily expensive, cruel, embarrassing and dumb amateur theatre, day 39 out of (presumed) 1,461.

MTG's BF, who always looks like he's either had a rough few hours at the bar or just got his face stung by bunch of bees, doin' his part to class up the joint.

Ah, you know,…

As a DC resident I'm glad I didn't encounter "Cadillac 1" 1.20.17-1.20.21, or since 1.20.25. Saw Bill coast by once winter of '98/'99, as I left work late around 9 PM, which was fun. Aside from that, my 25+ yr hometown usually has pretty good ways of showing folks they're not welcome.

Here he is demanding free Hungarian elections in 1989. And what a fraud he turned out to be.

Try to think about them, every day.

Glad I got to recover this significant historical memento off my erstwhile '06 Silverado, which had been stolen 3 months ago and was recovered this week. [Also glad I got to blast AC/DC in my new '20 Ranger on my way home from work.] #acdc #ddr #dc

Unnecessarily expensive, cruel, embarrassing and dumb amateur theatre, day 17 out of (presumed) 1,461.

For Transit Equity Day, on what would have been Rosa Parks's 112th birthday, I got to ride on the MARC commuter train from Union to Penn Station for free, as did several @makestudiobmore.bsky.social artists on Mobility paratransit to and from the studio. Much respect, @mtamaryland.bsky.social .
