"I understand that it’s not a great look to have exchanged tens of thousands of text messages with The Cannibal King over many years. Still, cut me some slack. We've all had a questionable acquaintance or two in our lives." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/jus...

"Teenage Swarms". And just when the ICEtapo Coward Army was coming to grips with the terror of Wine Moms.

So, two kids who are neurodiverse. Same basic Dxes. One kid, to any provider: “I will tell you my life story starting from the very beginning. Other kid, same environment: “I don’t care about my feelings, why do you even want to know? Me, either way:

"Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency. And the rule of law be damned." -Judge Biery

Absolutely. They absolutely are.

Some have guessed they are pardoned J6ers. I agree.

Catherine O'Hara, Emmy-winning comedian of 'Schitt's Creek' and 'SCTV' fame, dies at 71 www.seattletimes.com/entertainmen... This one hurts. Wherever her spirit is, I hope she’s keeping them pleasantly entertained.

Beautiful poem.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

Louder for the people in the back not paying attention.

Yup. Best thing to do is prove them wrong.

Love this. They’re so stoked! ❤️

Send him home to Minnesota, where his mom and his classmates are. He’s 5. He’s not a criminal, and neither is his father. 💔 If we can’t agree on whether all children deserve safety and happiness, we’re dealing with a difference in morality here.

Good. I hope they throw the book at her assailant.

Monorail concerns Sunday

“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, after visiting liberated concentration camps in April 1945

TIL Americans on Reddit think any snowstorm could be an apocalypse, and apparently what you really need to survive an apocalypse is unlimited wonderbread and three gallons of milk a week. Sobering thought… most of these people are potential or actual voters. Oy vey!

it's amazing how jared kushner has perfected the "wispy victorian boy locked in a mansion by his abusive mother whose best friend is a rodent skeleton" vibe

In case anyone wants to donate to someone willing to primary Marie Glusencamp-Perez in WA state (who basically always votes with the fascists):

Gave my daughter an example of what it’s like to hold a grudge. “So you know how I hoard couch pillows and always give your dad side eye when he asks for one? Well, you see, in 2002 we moved in together. I demanded we get some couch pillows, and he flat out lectured me on how useless they are.”

Every accusation, no matter how impossible or unbelievable with these animals is always, ALWAYS, a confession

There may be frost on the ground, but apparently the local squirrel population has already set in motion their yearly campaign against my roof. I mean, I know they wear fur coats and all, but I’m not sure how wise this is. Plus, I don’t want to have to collect their frozen remains. 🤢

It’s similar to how socialism is used for politics I don’t like. Doxxing now being used for public information I don’t like.

Maybe it’s based on the Beetlejuice principle, and if we say his name three times, he gets summoned from whatever hell he normally lives in, and has to do your bidding in order to get your soul. “Hey David! Start hitting yourself. Don’t stop until I say when”

I look forward to waking up one day and all of this is gone. Like Affleck at the end of Good Will Hunting, we will come to the front door, find nobody home, smile a knowing smile, and move on with the day's business.

Going too far Sunday.

I am HOWLING

Mixed messages Thursday

Them damned birds, Tuesday edition

OMG. Dying at this. And the responses. 😂

Apparently I spoke too soon about what I miss about Japan, and overseas travel as well. I’m finding out that the best part about travel is that all my GI symptoms that get exacerbated by meds I can’t opt out of usually go away on vacation… Only to resurge with a vengeance as I readjust to US food.

I feel seen. Look, I’ll stop washing dishes if the rest of the world promises to stop marching towards WW3.

The two things I miss the most from Japan: 1. Not worrying about living in a fascist state. 2. Toto Washlet’s heated toiled seat setting. (Other stuff too, but I mentioned the top 2)

Convalescence edition Friday

Masked ICE agents reportedly arrest 3 on Seattle's Aurora Avenue North www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news... These vile creatures are probably detaining people who were visiting their relatives’ graves. Or working as maintenance in the cemetery. Ghouls. They are ghouls.

LOL. This whole thread is life. 😂

Shibuya Sky

Sake Wall in Harajuku, Meiji Jingu.

Fluffy pancakes are life.

What is the point of looking for that guy, he absolutely sucked. What are they gonna do when they find him? “Hey we took that ring you loved so much and threw it in a volcano, just thought you’d be interested”

It’s a beautiful poem. ❤️

Not in the same time zone, Holiday Hiatus.

Bonus Goodwill on Earth, and all that Jazz. Vintage edition.

I want a child lock too.

A reminder for all aliens sightseeing in Kyoto with their child creatures: “please supervise your tiny aliens while in the park”.

This will be interesting…

Visiting Japan has forever ruined escalators for me.

The kind of mood I’m feeling today…
