Only 3 more years to go

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

all this is both foolish and unnecessary

Trump is weak at home, and he can be stopped – so long as the domestic political logic of foreign intervention is recognized and turned against him. This act of war is about regime change in the United States. It only succeeds if Americans allow it to do so.

“Please,” cried Frog, “please go away!” But no one went away.

Cancer research costs too much but we have the money to run Venezuela

Being an American feels like getting on a school bus and then your bus driver decides to do a drive by

Whatever happens now, we absolutely cannot allow Trump's refusal to seek Congressional authorization for what appears to be a large scale military attack on another country vanish from the media discussion, which already appears to be happening.

i hope the fifa peace prize voters are pleased with themselves

ME: I resolve to not buy myself so many little treats this year ALSO ME: you know what tho

oh christ look at the time

Sending prayers to her family. She was an extraordinary young woman. If you haven’t, read her superb essay in @newyorker.com about her journey since her cancer diagnosis. A remarkable person. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

I think I speak for all of DC, and possibly all of the world when I say: ABSOLUTELY THE FUCK NOT.

This is mental illness.

MS NOW is fact checking the lies from the president. Tune in now.

Was that the most deranged 20 minutes in American political history?

Ahhhh, l’amour!

What the absolute [expletive] was that?!?

This is microphone abuse. Make it stop.

Welp, that was completely insane. 🙄

WTAF?!

Virginia Heffernan wrote this shortly after the 2016 election and it still holds true

Commentary: As news of Rob Reiner's killing worsens, let's remember his legacy rooted in empathy

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

This entire weekend

One of the worst parts of the modern condition is having to listen to billionaires airing out the stupidest policy ideas, random musings, and other mental detritus. It’s unbearable.

Winter may be beautiful, but bed is much better.

I'm excited to announce that I've accepted a comics co-editor position at @therumpus.net We're looking for original literary fiction and non-fiction comics that feel personal. Bonus if it's hand-lettered (the path to my heart) 😘 No AI Pays $100 therumpus.submittable.com/submit Pass it on!

I'm so tired of stupid paywalls. I mean, I get it...but I'm just over publications posting articles on SM that aren't accessible.

So crazy everyone gendering this raccoon as a man when it’s clear she’s the people’s princess

How are you guys keeping up with everyone's newsletters? It feels like everyone has them now, similar to when we all had blogs. I can barely assemble my own thoughts these days, let alone stay on top of what my favorite writers are thinking.

Using AI is like slathering yourself in hamburger juice so your boss can feed you to his dog

“Yes,” said Frog, reaching for a cookie, “we need will power.” “What is will power?” asked Toad. “Will power is trying hard not to do something you really want to do,” said Frog.

Appreciation: Frank Gehry was the architect who changed music

I'll never get used to sheer, unadulterated meanness of this administration. They're completely unconcerned about lifting people up and solely focused on tearing people down. It is a movement that is absolutely devoid of a moral center. We need to present a clear moral vision in opposition.

wtf is a FIFA peace prize? that's like being an NFL laureate in physics

Doubtful that Donald Trump could even find Somalia on a map

Well, according to my chocolate advent calendar, it's just two days until Christmas.

Me at every party, ever. 😂

There are so many reasons why Pluribus is the perfect show for this moment.

🥰❤️🥰

Frog drank the tea, and then he said, “Tell me a story while I am resting.”

If you want there to be a certain kind of art in ten years, you gotta pay for that art now. You gotta make sure small time artists can survive the next ten years. If you can't afford to, then tell people about the art and artists you love. Gush about them. Help others find them.

I'm editing an anthology about unlikable characters and seeking work from younger writers, 15-21. If you know of one such writer who might want to submit their work for consideration, please share this call for submissions: audacity.substack.com/p/acquired-t...

Toad found a lantern in the attic. “Frog will see this light. I will show him the way out of the woods,” said Toad.

Someone get this kid a contract. He belongs in the pictures!
