These Christian Nationalists Are Loving War with Iran My latest on the extremism beat for @contrariannews.org

I don't like harping on Harris too much. Among Dem, Biden deserves the fast majority of the blame for the 2024 loss. But she did choose to squander her initial momentum by listening to the worst advisers in the world down the stretch.

It is an existential imperative that we begin a serious global dialogue about how ‘experts’ as the media uses the term, consistently lag behind us laymen when it comes to Knowing Some Bullshit When We See It.

Disabled people aren’t asking you to be a savior for us. We’re asking you to participate in our liberating ourselves.

It feels so demoralizing that for decades Cuba would send their doctors all over the planet to help victims of western imperialism, natural disaster, etc, but now that they need help every nation on earth is silent. People clapped for a half time show, but nothing has changed. Pure evil is law.

Judge Holden: Tommy needy drinky? Tommy’s always needy drinky, but as the babe-man did wander into my purview, the net of this impartial jurisdiction, aye, wouldn’t drinky needy in its stead the whole of us?

This tweet coming in the middle of 2020 proves the year wasn’t a total loss.

When Hegseth got in I said there are three types who join the Guard: the former active duty who want or need to keep a hand in; the warehouseman and so forth who wants the extra money and education; and people who want to play soldier. The latter group is small, but you should be afraid of them.

Trailer Park Boys might be my pick for best acting in a comedy ever. Julian’s glass of rum and coke is also one of my favorite bits. m.youtube.com/watch?v=ouJD...

An evening with the Dü

An EF-4 tornado hit Michigan tonight and decimated a good portion of a town. Many, many homes destroyed. This kind of weather is not at all expected in March. This level of devastation is also not common in Michigan, which is not tornado alley. And, sadly, it'll only get worse.

Just a quick update for the curious that given the total amount of purchases, this has now raised at least nearly $65,000 for Letters Charity, and of course possibly more if people pay over the amount. Great to see! A few hours left, who wants to see it get to $100K? Spread the word!

The funniest part of the Seth MacFarlane thing is that his impression of Clinton just Sucks.

"omg did you see Rotta the Hutt? He's Jabba's son and he is going to fight the Mandalorian and Gr-" You bolt awake in the hills of Burbank. It is 1976 AD. You are Marcia Lucas, and you have changed your mind. The future cannot come to pass. Star Wars must match George's original vision

On one level, the American presidency is broken and can never be trusted again absent massive reforms. On another, the only real solution is you just can’t elect people like this. No institution can be built that’s both useful and sufficiently restrained.

Had a glass of wine tonight while I’m taking a short break from my novel. Really didn’t enjoy it! Tasted acidic and I feel markedly less good. My drinking days might be in the past

I am not entirely powerless. I am a drop of water in a mighty ocean.

It’s not an accident that all their guys are super stupid paranoid reactionaries top to bottom. It’s literally the only way this works.

The Markwayne Mullin appointment proves it without a shadow of a doubt. White supremacy & cultures of oppression REQUIRE the platforming of the transparently mediocre to enforce their systems. Because that combo of mediocrity & ambition fosters a type of cravenness that is willing to do anything.

New I Hate Bill MAher is out: No Real Time this week, so I went back to the season 3 well to see if I would view his old stuff a little more favorably after months of only "New Bill". pod.link/1746469734

people are always asking, "Catbus, what flavor curry are you putting on mashed potatoes*today*?" well friends, I am happy to provide the answer : it's Chana Masala 🙌

Hey, weirdly argumentative liberals demanding the left stop bringing the tattoo up: the right will not hesitate to do this level of opposition research, and even the ones who are Nazis themselves will decry him, because he’s proof the libs are the “real Nazis.” Do not do their fucking work for them.

he mostly only speaks Spanish & I mostly only speak English, but he didn't care -and I don't care- and he was so glad to see me and he came in for a hug - and he's barely taller than my knees He's the sweetest little guy. I'm crying for the third time since, the dear little amigo. totally melted me

I was all tired and burned out and on top of everything I was having to be strict with kids then on my lunchbreak, I looked down & saw walking next to me this super-sweet special-needs little boy, and he looked up at me - and when he recognized me from working with him before for weeks, he *lit up*

COME ON

You read passages like this, and you can’t believe a person made them. Like this just came from a person’s mind, and now it’s here, and the author hasn’t even begun to flex. Magical and astounding. From George Eliot’s Felix Holt: #booksky 💙📚

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

When I get through this grief and start cooking-cooking again, it’ll be over for y’all. Old mutuals know.
