So, Bungie, you think you can misdirect my grief and buy my good will with cheap tricks like engram inflation and cheap rides? We'll see about that. Seeing about it right now.

I really didn't need Stephen King to confirm a) who we all knew he was ranking first, b) that he doesn't care enough to talk about his state's pretty dope RCV system in accurate terms, or c) that his plots never adequately resolve because he couldn't care less about causality vs. some vibes.

what he’s doing isn’t “growing the left” as it is clarifying the battleground between communists and social chauvinists

love seeing ostensibly liberal men out there absolutely salivating at the idea of getting to tell women to shut up and vote for a domestic abuser or they hate democracy

you don’t have to let the perfect be the enemy of the good you just have to personally be the enemy of the schutzstaffel

"You've read your last free article" just seems so unduly threatening.

CNN interviewing James Carville in 2026 about the midterms

Telling that damn near everyone I know who's done actual organizing — across a wide range of perspectives and tactics — went "fuck this guy" about Platner early on. Savvier than thou/4d chess influencer types were the ones head over heels. It helps if nazi shit is always a dealbreaker. A lesson.

This site does have the juice. But it also houses a nascent intellectual movement absolutely no one needed:The Intellectual Blue Web. Where some of the world's most ultracrepidarian Dem dead-enders attempt to conjure the discipline of Vibecession Studies via pure will and resonance of "exaaaactly"s.

Why are these people out here making me agree with Beijing Palmer? Whyyyyy?!?

I grew up in rural Virginia, playboy, and what was left behind has come back

The Union should have brought so many more hammers down so much harder on the plantation class.

I'm curious to see what new form of mathematically grotesque self-/group-righteousness emerges from the outbursts of Platner stans today. I'm going to point and jeer, but I am curious.

What if they just made an entire guy out of red flags?

Nobody sees the 4:00 am works outs. Nobody sees the hours of meal prepping. Nobody sees the time spent in meditation bettering myself. Nobody sees any of this. Because I don’t do these things.

Machine Dems staying mad at anyone to the left of Ronald Reagan (regardless of how they vote) for "costing elections" when they're the ones nominating these fucking losers. A party that refuses to own its electoral failings can't win consistently, and hasn't deserved to win for decades now.

If Graham Platner losing is what it takes to decisively disincentivize the Dem party from welcoming Nazis and then lying to defend them, the cost of a Senate seat is well worth it. Especially since his election would hand that seat to a Nazi.

He was only ever one of the best of them, and that was never really great. These days, he's positively malignant.

Wife just got back from a 3-day doctors conference and she told me that one of the keynote speakers mentioned AI during his presentation and the doctors in the audience booed. Loudly. Someone tell that Google CEO it's not just college kids who hate this shit.

Local governments, and the gentry who control them, do not arm, pay and equip local police because they're afraid of them. They do it because they're afraid of the public. Cops are a useful, if sometimes unruly, force for maintaining their power. They were shouting "fund the police" for a reason.

Before "local governments are powerless over police" spreads too much: no, they're not. They may clash sometimes, and cops may arm-twist individual politicians, but local governments have *a lot* of sway over cops. If they're not reining them in it's because they don't want to.

thinking on how impunity for elites for a long enough period of time creates conditions where they don't even really bother with cover ups anymore nor really know how to do them in the first place

amazing this is not a skit

Seeing I Love Boosters Sunday and stoked about it.

look at him. he doesn't even have any money

Pinto or white beans, turnip or collard greens, and hot water cornbread.

Hey man wanna come over, we've got salvia and Jimson weed

You don't actually have to think Hasan Piker is the bees knees (I don't, and think platforming Ashley St. Clair when her transphobic book is still on sale is sucky) to recognize that the federal government using subpoena power to punish its critics is really bad.

from the moment it was founded activists and human rights watchdogs have warned that DHS was constructed to be an almost unaccountable private paramilitary force at the president's sole disposal.

Sharing a few relaxed and leisurely kitten sketches, all of them are classic works that I personally love. Take a moment to relax with the kittens too, stretch a little, and enjoy being lazy for a while. #shouxinsketch #petart #animalart #illustrationartists #sketch

The GOP caters to its base while Democrats despise theirs and would like a different base.

Getting high enough to have a Sunday of weeks.

Tennessee, Land of the Verdant Drought

You wish they all could be California girls? Not me. That’s how you get the Manson family

Criticizing Democratic electeds, feeling disgust with their cowardice and cynisism, demanding meaningful action, and expressing anger with all of it, doesn't cost them elections. Their refusal to acknowledge or account for those things is the relevant dysfuntion here.

Saying that chatgpt can be used as a disability aid for ADHD is pretty much saying you have no idea what the fuck you are talking about, and don't particularly give a shit whether people get harmed.

every time “birth rates” come up in the discourse eventually someone remembers its because teenagers arent really getting pregnant anymore and then we all go “oh yea” until we forget again a few weeks later and start all over again

I know you're probably thinking it would be fun and cool to stick your fingers in a fan, but you really shouldn't. I was just thinking about that for no particular reason.

My feelings right now on the 1988 film They Live by John Carpenter

I don’t know what to tell you, man. I’m a medieval historian, and, in my field, if you don’t check your sources (and your sources’ sources) you are just asking to be taken for a ride by some bored 19th C. aristocratic English antiquarian with a penchant for inventing history.

It's curious which men in comics have nothing to say about Gaiman because a lot of them rose to prominence at a time when it was beneficial to be in conversation with him on Twitter

your job is to pick the worst actor to play james bond

anytime i hear about how dems didn't actually have enough votes during obama's start bc of blue dogs, i just go "okay, let's take that as a given. what was the party's plan to, over time, get those votes or replace those guys?" and it was "nothing" or "we actually will support these guys forever"

Willy Stencil and his coterie of debate perverts are spending their Sunday "exaaaaaaaactly"-ing one another's fictions in the service of trying to make the Grand Unified Vibecession Theory happen. Don't be like them!

i don’t think i will ever get over how dogshit christian rock is despite the subject material. insincerely corny camp counselors every time instead of a RATM going off about metatron

He calls it his "Boom Tube," and he insists it transports him to remote cosmic regions. He's very resistant to the suggestion that might not be exactly accurate.

HP Lovecraft going "Jeez, that's kind of a lot dude"

this is the last photo on my parents' video birdfeeder before it was mysteriously destroyed we may never know what happened
