"Hello, office of [CONGRESSPERSON’S NAME]! This is [YOUR NAME] from [CITY OR TOWN]. I’m calling to ask about [CONGRESSPERSON]’s stance on simply putting an end to this hellscape of a world and allowing humanity to fade into the black abyss of nonexistence." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/use...

is life just a series of days where you're tired in the afternoon and wide awake at night, running behind on weekly deadlines, and seeing pants get slim and big and then slim again over the years until you die?

Guys being Dudes

1) Haven't read this. 2) You shouldn't. 3) Here were "strongest" Dem candidates at comparable points, 2.5 years before elex that Dems won: —1974: Teddy Kennedy early leader. 1976: Prez Jimmy Carter. —1990: Mario Cuomo leading. 1992: Prez Bill Clinton. —2006: HRC leading. 2008: Prez Obama.

Biden would’ve been instantly impeached in a bipartisan vote if he put his face on the freakin’ Department of Justice building

Remember back in the day when Congress used to be in charge of appropriations?

#akleg Well. Here we go. Snatching five year olds from small towns in Alaska.

2026 basically

We wanted to understand how rugged English-Scots-Irish culture has shaped America. So we talked to three white South African billionaires at a sex party in the Bahamas.

Pour one out for Cees Nooteboom. #books #history #Netherlands

So far I've had food poisoning from chips out of cafe and have had a tennis ball smashed into my face.

Just saw a screening of AMELIE (2001). Can’t believe it’s 25yo. I’d forgotten what a funny, beautiful movie it is. So glad to have seen it on the big screen, again. #filmsky

Incumbents will be tempted to lay low, make minimal promises and coast in complacently. They need to be pushed -- primary challengers and town halls, etc. Get promises of action now so they hit the ground running when they retake Congress. Stake out a clear agenda, win a strong mandate, get moving.

Catherine O'Hara, the actor who starred as Kate McCallister in “Home Alone,” has died at 71, TMZ reports

Now that the dust has settled a little from the Olivia Nuzzi/Ryan Lizza thing, I hope we can all agree that that was was probably just too many Z's for a single couple and they're better off apart.

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

"Do you have any idea what the margins are on any of this stuff you buy? How Manny and Kumal managed to make ends meet is beyond me, but I can tell you right now they sure as shit couldn’t afford an immigration lawyer."

Yo, ICE! This is what a hostile, threatening approach looks like. And Ilhan Omar’s security didn’t murder him. Imagine that.

Murkowski says Noem should step aside: “As the Secretary of Homeland Security, I would not support her again, and I think it probably is time for her to step down.”

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

Perfection

Mood in minneapolis right now

Multiple officials of the US federal government are spending their day rather blatantly obstructing Minnesota law enforcement and covering up a murder.

Dan Sullivan was against EPA agents being armed in 2015. Armed government thugs have killed two US citizens in Minneapolis and he's quiet. He never cared about government thugs terrorizing Americans, just who was in charge of them. www.newsminer.com/news/local_n...

Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun. Any second now, I'm sure. He was a white guy, if that helps? Hello? NRA?

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

January is almost over and there have only been 3 homicides in Minneapolis so far this year 2 of them were committed by ICE agents.

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now): -If you work for ICE. -If you vote for money for ICE. You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

"Slavery was real" Tiny sign at the base of a brick wall that, until yesterday, held panels about the people enslaved by George Washington. Presidents House, Philadelphia.

Someone just called me a believer in "purity tests" because I think the Democrats who just voted to fund the president's unaccountable masked goon squad deserve to be primaried. If your definition of "purity" is that basic, you're beyond helping

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS. ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion. This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.

Japanese printmaker Koichi Sakamoto (b. 1932) is known for his detailed intaglio prints, specifically using the mezzotint etching technique. His work often focuses on serene, snow-covered landscapes and traditional Japanese winter village scenes, characterized by a muted, monochromatic palette.

#Anchorage. Late January.

I’ll never get tired of this ad at our local indie theater 😂

The entire Alaskan delegation needs to be asked how they feel about the prospect of soldiers potentially being sent from JBER to Minneapolis. Also, Mary Peltola better have a strong statement on how she feels about it as well.

People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.
