"But you're a private investigator. Why don't you carry a gun?" Jim Rockford: "Because I don't want to shoot anybody."

Roslyn Carter once said Ronald Reagan, "makes people comfortable with their prejudices." Trump didn't create MAGA, he just brought it out from under its white sheet and put a red hat on it.

Capitalism 🤢

God’s Profits are one of the main reasons we can’t have nice things.

#politics #vote I'm going to say it again, because it seems we all have very short memories. Polling. Doesn't. Mean. Shit. We've been let down repeatedly. Voter turnout is what matters. Stop watching polling. Start planning to get your ass to the actual polling places. We only win by showing up.

Donald Trump just said it himself: He doesn't care about the American people.

Filming has begun on FLESH OF THE GODS, a vampire movie from Mandy director Panos Cosmatos & A24. Kristen Stewart & Wagner Moura star. Written by Andrew Kevin Walker (Seven). A married couple in ’80s L.A. descend into an electric nighttime realm each evening.

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Don’t believe the self-made myth.

You were inspired by Hungary, right? They don’t allow foreign money in their elections.. HUGE difference. They don’t have an electoral college.. HUGE difference. They have a parliamentary system.. HUGE DIFFERENCE. We need solutions that work HERE.

Now THAT's a Good Boy! Or girl. Mooch and I need to visit Hollywood.

A white congresswoman co-signing a racial slur on a Virginia radio station like it’s 1900. Jen Kiggans is not problematic. She is not tone deaf. She is a racist who forgot the mic was public. All the racists need to GTFO.

FUN FACT: Most people follow the faith of their family. So religion isn't about finding "truth"—it's about conformity.

One of TVs best characters

JUST IN: Virginia Democratic leaders have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review last week's Virginia Supreme Court ruling that overturned the redistricting plan approved by Virginia voters, setting up a legal battle over whether the will of the electorate will be restored.

If racists who support authoritarian government are trying to steal democracy and impose minority rule, it's....war.

Trump is just Reagan 2.0, the Heritage Foundation just realized they could go so much further this time

Fetterman just finds the issue that Dems are most upset about each day, takes the opposite side, then goes on Fox to call it TDS. On the rare occasions he can put two sentences together coherently. Rise, repeat. It’s boring. Tired. Classless. Useless. Like Fetterman.

The obscenity is the banality. Amex's Concierge sent Epstein's assistant a "Happy International Women's Day!" message while facilitating visa fraud for trafficking . AMEX was a helpful travel agent to include booking fake flights to move young Eastern European women for a registered sex offender.

At one time, I had plenty of #drive. I'd do three jobs at once and survive. I would write ev'ry day, Practice law, and then play My old oboe. (How AM I alive?) #PenStricken #Drive #Work #Employment #Energy #Poems #Limerick #Limericks #Rhyme #Humor #Humour #Poetry #MicroPoetry #LightVerse #Verse

There's always a tweet.

In history class, I never understood how “advanced” civilizations could collapse. It just didn’t seem plausible. Anyway, I’ve seen enough. I get it now.

If this is accurate, then why do I feel like burnt toast covered in dog shit and abandoned on a sidewalk in July?

I've been dreaming of a Rockford Files reboot for the last 15 years. They better not fuck it up.

If Paul was a homosexual and the Church comes before the Bible, then Western Christianity may have spent two thousand years building cathedrals over a repressed mirror-image of itself.

Everett's Cosmic Horror Ψ₀ → quantum decoherence → Everett∞ (photon ∩ retina) = ΔSelf∞ ∴ “I” = a cemetery of abandoned branches. The wave never dies. It just rots into parallel corridors of flesh, each version dragging a different destiny through the morgue-light ov spacetime. #QuantumPhysics

Everett's Cosmic Horror The nightmare is that the wave never collapses at all. It keeps branching, and "you" continue down countless parallel corridors without ever seeing the others again. Identity becomes less a soul and more a trail of surviving versions walking away from each fracture.

Thresholds bleed whether or not we zoom out. That's the precision that was missing. The observer determines whether it looks like flow or rupture, but the reorganization happens regardless of description. Does that mean the most honest position is the one that holds both scales simultaneously?

In May 1961, this brave man, John Lewis, was arrested for using a ‘whites only’ bathroom instead of using the bushes. We can’t go back. “When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have to speak up.”—Georgia Congressman, John Lewis. #ProudBlue #JohnLewis #GoodTrouble

The slowest zombie transformation, ever.

Mississippi consistently ranks as the worst quality of life state in the US and has the highest firearms death rate in the country. The governor, Tate Reeves, ran a re-election ad showing his face superimposed on Clint Eastwood‘s shooting minorities. He won.

Happy Mother's Day

A mild thought. Women really like: • Men who actually listen and are interested. • Men who do their share of the chores without being asked. • Men who are reasonably well-groomed and smell nice. They're not all that interested in guys who have attached spacehoppers.

Virginia is "a wakeup call to Democrats across the country - in NJ, NY, MD, IL, OR, WA, CO - this is the time to start fighting back... Republicans don't believe that Democrats have the right to exist. If we don't start fighting back, we're going to good government ourselves into obscurity."
