The denial is driven by how awful the pandemic got, sure, but also by lots of people who didn’t do the bare minimum and made the crisis worse.

NH: Cheap seats at Fenway are fine, if you’re severely malnourished or have an oscillating neck Our first in the nation primary is egotistical and dumb Poutine is ass

Only we can tell our stories

Yes, and I’ll go one step further. Even if white supremacy wasn’t destined to circle back and kill us too, we should still want to dismantle it anyway.

One of my favorite movies. Basic choice? Maybe. But sometimes good people need to stand against the bad, end of story. Fundamental, you might say.

Because white people decided they would prefer a white man, a known sexual predator, a white man with 34 felony convictions over a former prosecutor, former DA, former CA AG, former US Senator and sitting US Vice President. Because *white people would rather eat shit than share ice cream.*

My millennial ass

Maybe the Germans have a word for it: when an author is a good storyteller but a pedestrian writer

Why is anyone surprised folks are staying away from the World Cup? Have you seen this place lately?

The “abandonment of the working class” isn’t about economic policy, it’s about social hierarchy. The inability to grasp the connections between the two leaves wonks thinking that “solving” the economic policy question will be enough when we see plainly what animates critical voting blocks. Wake up.

Also I’m not here for “ignoring rural voters.” Fuck them all. Shit we spend too much time and effort lionizng & catering to these bigoted, misogynistic, stuck in the past assholes. My god. You fell for some transgender ads & you think I need to kiss your ass?

As a teacher of English, I can definitively state that yes, this is exactly what happened. Particularly, the curse words. ◡̈

Proposed: an indefinite moratorium on cosplay working class hero candidates

If small town suspense with a dash of romance intrigues you, give my novel a look—there’s something nasty lurking at the end of this road, and the monsters you’ll find are all too human. Link in bio. (Thanks to all who’ve already read and reviewed.) 🙂📖✍️

Warren has terrible instincts as a Democrat but perfectly good instincts if you think of her as a pro-choice Republican trapped in a Democrat’s body

I want to talk up a book I recently read. It's our own JJ in NH's "Deep Kill Road". It's a very fine mystery novel with good character development, a complex and interesting plot, and villains out of today's reality. He's a good writer, it's a compelling tale. I loved it. Thanks, JJ! MORE!

I’m tired of this crass low-rent failson and I’m deeply disappointed in my neighbor state for allowing him to get as far as he has. It’s like watching a friend start dating utter trash.

I realized Izzy and I haven’t dropped by for a while so I want to assure you all she’s fighting city hall as you’d hope she would

Izzy hopes your day is as free of drama as hers

Maine is gonna either make a predictable if understandable bad decision in November or an insanely awful decision instead

One of these days we’ll get a win. Today is unfortunately not that day. Add the VRA to the list of casualties. This country is backsliding at a generational rate.

Look believe whatever you want about this latest incident but more than a little skepticism feels warranted

Emily's List sounds the alarm on Platner Shame on Bernie Sanders & Liz Warren for endorsing this unworthy person Excellent honest truth here:

Oh not for nothing but nobody needs wants or asked for some stupid tacky ugly tawdry self-aggrandizing piece of shit arc, certainly not from a schmuck who can’t build a wall

First woman, more than likely white, that tries to make Melania a sympathetic figure is getting cursed out. I mean cursed all the way the fuck out. This ho was a birther & deserves nothing but malice. Fuck her.

Weird writer question: do you catch yourself using certain words too often, or more than usual? My WIP appears infested with “next,” “up,” and “before,” or maybe for some reason I’m simply hyper aware of them.

Watching this unfold in NH is like watching your neighbor date a creep and hoping they don’t make an even bigger mistake

Hey all, wanted to start getting the word out: my first novel will be available on April 7th, ebook available for preorder now if that’s your cup of tea. Small town suspense, hidden bag of money, and a bit of a love story. a.co/d/0j5VNW3H

Once you remember he’s kind of an evil clown the dumb ill-fitting shoes for his goons makes perfect sense

Wait is Greenland still on the menu now or no

Mofos worried about Sharia Law, but went to the polls and voted for the Heritage Foundation's Christofascism. Be fucking for real.

@needle-of-arya.bsky.social 👋 Some serious bs at the other place

It’s really difficult to turn off the worst case scenario generator in the back of my mind and if you have the same trouble here’s a rainy day couch potato to help

Either he’s dumb, suffers from perpetually rotten judgment, or

OKAY.

Kind of over being in the midst of major historical events and certainly don’t need “historical winter hell storm” added to the list but here we are

Think I managed to get taxes filed in just under ten minutes this year, might be a personal record

Yes although it didn’t come easy. There was a grieving time.

If you’re feeling down give yourself some grace, you’re living through a moral pandemic

Have a killer Friday, all

I’d ask folks to keep us New Englanders in your thoughts as we get buried with snow but considering the Pats are going back to the Super Bowl that might be asking for too much

After today there aren’t many more lines for them to cross. I wish I had something better to say but the words aren’t coming.

The last few winters have been pretty darn easy so the incoming foot and a half requires more psyching up than usual

He really ain’t kidding about Greenland

Oh my good god everyone needs to acknowledge the McRib is trash but whoever’s shocked by this needs to grow up

I hope we all get a good and better year in ‘26. I’d say we deserve it.

My dumb ass responding to a west coast text on east coast time this morning 😳😩🫣

Everyone take a bow. We made it. I hope you can cruise control into the new year.

She made the nice list this year. Merry Christmas everybody. Izzy is always rooting for you.

This is the vibe
