i will not forget the men who downplayed the earlier allegations of abuse against platner and said accepting them was just the price we had to pay to gain control of the senate. i hope they feel like fucking assholes.

ill never understand the kind of hubris it takes to run for office when you know there are massive skeletons in your closet. not only do you look sick, your family has to deal with all of it.

shout out to the guy who spent an afternoon on here screaming at me for thinking the tattoo was bad

I don't think Platner is a plant. he's just your run-of-the-mill misogynistic, racist leftish dudebro.

Welcome to The Good Place.. 😆 @chrissiehynde.com #RobbieMcIntosh 🌍❤️‍🔥🎸🎙️🥁📺📻✌️🙏✊🌈☮️💜🎼

It’s true that at present the insider-trading Democrats won’t do anything about it. The answer to that is not “nothing will ever change” but “we need to replace all of them too.” if your only answer is to say “nothing will ever change,” hey that’s what they say, too. Good job joining up with them.

It’s really messed up that there’s no concept akin to to “innocent until proven guilty” when applying for disability. Everyone from my lawyer to the judge says openly they assume the applicant is lying and you have to prove your illness is real.

We've reached peak special pleading where we're supposed to pretend that Haley Stevens isn't far to the right of the median Democratic candidate or voter or Congressmember on Palestine and that her proud self-identification and affiliation with AIPAC has nothing to do with this.

Just looking at a liberal personality's YouTube with 150k+ "subscribers" and like 300 views per video and thinking about how interesting it would be if people started asking influencers and commentators whether they've bought fake bots and who all is paying them behind the scenes

I've been thinking about this, and the Trib is "low-key" Republican in that it's not full-throated MAGA, which would never fly in Chicago. The Editorial Board isn't that way anyway. It's what used to be called "country club Republican", but should probably now be called "MBA Republican".

Joe McGasko sets the perfect mood on @wfmu.bsky.social every Monday morning Tune in, won't you? 📻✌️🙏✊

Subtitles as paid upgrade? On behalf of everyone with disabilities, fuck you very much

This alone should be a decade-defining political scandal resulting in prison sentences.

Rod Stewart, Martin Quittenton, and you.

Pretenders, Chrissie Hynde, and Robbie McIntosh.

Neil Young, Nicolette Larson, and yup.

Underground bee, young criminals starving, & Happy Birthday, Robert Loerzel! @robertloerzel.bsky.social

One of my favorite musician bio’s too. An interesting dude, from an underexplored part of the American racial hierarchy, with a clear class position that came through his art

I would like to say again that the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board is one of the MOST racist in the country. I lived in Chicago for over 20 years and they are absolutely TERRIBLE.

Things your unhoused neighbors can use this summer, aside from the obvious: - candy (I get asks for this more than almost anything) - sunscreen (high SPF pls!) - lip balm (bonus for SPF) - electrolyte packets for water - cash - gift cards for fast food and/or accessible grocery stores 1/

Shift your gaze. Leadership may not look the way you were taught to see it. Here's to a human, collaborative, regenerative & attuned way. And it's already here.

I welcome her supporters to our movement to stand up against money in politics, to put money back in pockets, and pass Medicare for All. We cannot allow the establishment to decide our nominee for us.

Even 'canceling' or firing Gutfeld types just sends them away briefly before rising again for their apology tour comeback to confinue failing up for yet more media exposure and 💸🧟

Happy birthday to Bill Watterson, the creator of Calvin and Hobbes! Born on July 5, 1958.

The entire consumer-facing "A.i." industry is a fucking scam. Ban it from all your businesses and institutions.

What a read first thing the morning of July 5!

Apparently, if you set off over 800k explosives, you might fuck up the air that people (checks notes) breathe.

The founder we should talk more about is Thomas Paine, who will fuck your shit up every time. Here he is in The Rights of Man just ripping into any ideas of "originalism" and that kind of garbage.

This might be the most blatant example in existence of "rich guy who created a problem attempting to place the blame for that problem on immigrants"

I love when MAGA types publish a list of unambiguously good things as if they're unambiguously bad things. It's such a revelation of what fearful cowardly people they are. We live in times of radical abuses. We should all seek radical remedies. All I can say to this is Hell Yeah.

"Maybe let’s be patriots of a country that doesn’t exist yet; A country still to come, where all those fine aspirations have been cultivated until they are, at last, and for the first time, actually true, .. "

imagine serving two combat tours in afghanistan and seeing your buddy pulled out of a burning tank and then you have to sing YMCA for a dude who made a billion dollars scamming your aunt with meme coins

Something that I appreciate about being a marginalized person in this country is that it makes me unsentimental about it. This means that there's always an opportunity to redo things. This day sucked, well there's tomorrow or next month or next year to do something else. Things should change.

X, Al Dubin, Joe Burke, Ray Manzarek, and me.

Beat Farmers, Paul Kamanski, and turn up the music.

The Beat Farmers, Country Dick Montana, and Neighbor Mike Gehant.

Van go, neighbors, & Happy Birthdays!

I wrote about living in a country that is hard to celebrate, and of an alternate vision we are invited to join and inherit, in order to make a country that would be worth a sense of pride. www.the-reframe.com/patriots-of-...

“'I was the most senior Catholic in the US government,' Vance recalls, affronted, '& the Vatican seemed unwilling to move its moral guidance....'” “The Scottish writer Stephen Daisley [noted the] 'breezy impertinence' [by which] Vance 'tells the pope... that he is in error on Church doctrine.'"

Everybody wants to talk about how “addictive” porn is while Kalshi, Polymarket and Draftkings are sponsoring & advertising at every major media event, targeting primarily men, and bankruptcy rates have risen 30% since online betting was legalized

Don't worry.. Bee happy
