People who are mad about The Odyssey already got their representation in a previous adaptation

"Twitter is the town square, whether you like it or not" is a real argument people make to stay on there.

catching up on the news

The typical voter almost never sees, and the media conveys only tiny and often sane-washed snippets, his rambling gibberish both on Truth and on camera. There is definitely something to the point that people are actually under-exposed to how constantly, manifestly batshit insane he is.

Durbin is undermining every argument that it actually matters which party controls the US Senate.

Officers shooting a man, running away from law enforcement, who is not a target of law enforcement, and who poses no threat to law enforcement, is murder. Federal officers do not have the power to commit summary executions because they are aggrieved.

When a Democrat praises Lindsey Graham and ignores his vital role in enabling an autocratic takeover of American government, it's because it's all a game to them. It's because they view Congress as a private members club and because they are immune from the consequences of government action.

It’s incredible that people this dumb get the same number of votes as you do.

They're continuing to kill people because this administration has told them that the people they're apprehending -- and those who defend them -- deserve violence, that no amount of violence is too much, and that no matter how egregious the abuse, they'll never be held accountable.

If you think the practice of politics does not include the deliberate shifting of public opinion, you just don't understand the game that's being played. It's like saying basketball players should stop trying to get those stupid rebounds and focus on the only important part, scoring.

This is my favorite thing I've written for @mcsweeneys.net in a while. Hope you folks enjoy it! I think the headline pretty much clears up what it's about.

Rep Greg Casar blowing the whistle on Democrats capitulating to ai tech bros. “I know for a fact that there’s a lot of consultants telling their clients that you don’t want an AI super PAC to spend millions against you, so just don’t touch the issue at all” www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

This paragraph gave me an epiphany about Matty Y. It's not that he doesn't understand how politics words. It's that fundamentally, he doesn't understand *what politics is.*

It’s one of the true pleasures of the job - historians get to skip the whole “this isn’t the time” commentary and have at it. Graham was a plague on the Senate, a chickenhawk, and one of the most accomplished hypocrites in this country’s recent history.

when you tell us that the people who murdered comity and civility—who are trying to kill and rob and enslave us—are actually your dear friends, you don’t create civility, but despair; we see you don’t actually believe the danger is real, can’t be trusted to fight the battle that needs to be fought.

i stand corrected

The Democratic Party's approval rating is in the toilet, and the main reason is voters see Dem leaders and prominent members acting like things are basically okay instead of fighting like there's an emergency. Slot "my friend Lindsey Graham, so funny, how great to work with him" comments into that.

"Think about a time a colleague you disliked left his mortal coil" well I didn't spend a bunch of time waxing about how he was the best fucking dude and we hung out all the time.

If JK Rowling ever has a character from the Pacific Northwest

THANK YOU SIRI, KEEP GOING

Lindsay Graham was a warpig chickenhawk motherfucker drenched in the blood of innocents in exactly the right way, by Ezra Klein.

We Are Lindsey Graham We Carry the Flame

victory lapping on this one

when you imply a culture or idea’s values are only worthwhile insofar as they defend against violence within and project violence without, you are adopting a fundamentally far-right imaginary in which those who champion and wield violence have the most legitimacy. you become colonel jessup.

The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo deserves the same fury as Renee Good and Alex Pretti

Premier League supporters’ cortisol levels spiked all because Tottenham have been revenuemaxxing and PSR gooning so they can finally transfermog the league

he is tragic. sometimes his advice is helpful. but if he weren’t so (stupidly, btw) afraid that the hateful false doctrine of racism were true (he makes this worse for himself by spending half his time on X), he would be better, happier, more helpful, less irritating, and able to think better

It's once again time for me to extol the virtues of the "Laura Palmer," a refreshing blend of lemonade and cold brew coffee. In all my travels I have yet to find a better beverage for a hot summer morning. It's also the best method I have personally found for accidentally consuming 400mg of caffeine

Going back in time to tell the radical republicans that their party was taken over by confederate sympathizers and the first black president was a democrat

The idea of the Supreme Court dissenters that citizenship is a “privilege” that only some deserve rather than a basic right for everyone born in the U.S. is in accord with the view that suffrage is a also privilege rather than a universal right. In both cases, they think universality demeans them.

"who are you rooting for in the world cup?" what a ridiculous question. obviously its the last team whose jersey i happened to see on a random attractive woman walking around nyc. i hope she has a wonderful time

My theory of change is simple. Browbeat thousands of Democratic primary voters in NYC to elect people who appeal to mildly racist economically centrist semi-retired GenX white guys in Racine, WI. I make $325k a year publishing messaging .pdfs and haven’t talked to a voter since 2003.
