I'm convinced Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer were created in a lab by Republican consultants to make their jobs easier.

So aside from the fact that this is morally despicable, what competent politician could look at the dramatic shift in opinion among Democrats on Israel and say “yes the way we win back power is by ignoring the white hot rage of our base and doing things which will make them hate us even more.”

Has there been a more pathetic and ineffective leader of the House Democrats in our lifetimes? I can't think of one.

I think a very attractive trait in human beings is someone who can absolutely lose their shit laughing even if their laugh is goofy, you want someone who can be incapacitated by joy

I was always gonna boycott the Harry Potter TV series but I would urge anyone on the fence to stop engaging with the franchise as long as JKR is using her proceeds to fund her continued attacks on trans people and allies. Reheated nostalgia slop just isn’t worth it.

George Lucas gets an incredible amount of accolades for truly only making 2 good movies over the span of his 50 year career. And if I’m keeping it a buck, his then wife, Marcia and his team are the reason those 2 movies faired as well as they did. I’m not saying he’s not talented,

taking a break from tour posting for this important reminder

just such a lovely guy

Sam Neill will be known as one of the greats, but not just because he was a great actor. He was known to be a kind and caring person who loved to lift the spirits of those around him. What a tremendous loss.

MY favourite Sam Neill anecdote is that when I ran a cinema, Sam was NUMBER ONE OLD LADY CRUSH. The only person that came close was Colin Firth, Bill Nighy in at 3rd 🫡🫡🫡

There was a period of time when NBC would put out these miniseries based on public domain epics with the most stacked cast you’ve ever seen and then schools would show them to 7th graders for the next 20 years and it was kinda paradise

One of the quiet bright moments of lockdown was Sam Neill serenading us on the ukulele. This type of tenderness feels rare nowadays, how lucky we were. Thank you for everything. ❤️❤️❤️

Jurassic Park doesn’t work without Sam Neill‘s note-perfect performance in the scene where they first see the Brachiosaurus. you completely forget that he’s looking off-screen at nothing real, that man 100% convinces you he’s witnessing a live dinosaur and that all of his dreams are coming true.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

A good day to be reminded that Hunt for the Wilderpeople is an amazingly funny heartfelt film about found family. RIP Sam Neill 💙

Sam Neill was one of those actors I was always happy to see, no matter how I felt about the thing he was in. The reaction to his death vs. the way people responded to the late Lindsey Graham says a lot about how we should choose to live our lives.

Sam Neill is a great loss. I once jokingly tweeted that I was agog he had a career after his wild-eyed turn in Possession, and he replied that he’d been trying to figure it out for years himself.

A very grateful Mox Tox.

it really does seem like no one who knew him ever had a bad thing to say about Sam Neill we should all aspire to such a life

every time i hear a baby crying i feel so much gratitude. i just think ‘dang i know buddy its hard to be alive but were gonna make it together’ then i smile because i know they are gonna learn that themselves some day too. it is a real beautiful cycle

Sam Neill on tackling depression and imposter syndrome when you’re between jobs.

When It Happens, if any Democratic politician utters a single word for him other than pure contempt and scorn, I will be waging a holy war against that person for the rest of my natural life

For those that missed them at the time, here’s a piece about Sam Neill’s COVID videos. ew.com/movies/sam-n...

Sam Neill represented such a solid warm version of masculinity in so many of the roles he played.

No fucking homophobia (About Lindsay Graham)

buddy they’re gonna always demand we be polite about the deaths of our oppressors. ignore them.

“What I loved about Senator Lindsey Graham is that we belonged to the same social class”

Dear Democratic politicians, Lindsey Graham deliberately chose to spend his last years making the lives of people in the US and abroad as miserable as possible. The fact that he also had that certain brand of charming southern geniality for his colleagues makes it worse, actually.

i’m sorry but ‘literally died of hard heartedness’ is the most hack writing yet in an already weak season

Live in such a way that when you die, people don't need to be scolded for mentioning all the horrible shit you did.

This hands across the aisle shit needs to fucking die. You are reaching out to monsters and murderers. You need to be shitcanned. We are fighting for our lives and you’re calling it a fucking disagreement you absolute ghouls.

Maybe one should try being a decent human being prior to one's death if they would prefer people not celebrate one's death.

True hot take: Policing & scolding people for being glad Lindsey Graham’s reign of terror has ended is infinitely more unethical and immoral than people celebrating ever could be, because knowing what we know about the sheer volume of harm and deaths that man caused, it would be weird if you didn’t

Interesting to see McConnell honoring the ancient pharaoh's tradition of taking your pet along with you to the afterlife

Right, particularly where it involves public figures who have massive impact on millions of lives. If it's wrong to speak ill of them at the time of their death it's also wrong to eulogize them in a way that carefully avoids mention of their misdeeds

My hot take is that the Democrats shouldn’t be treating fascists as friends and colleagues.

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

counterpoint: the dead should make it harder for me to speak ill of them

Me: If I concentrate hard enough I can enter a flo state and become virtually unstoppable Them: Don't you mean a flow state? Me:

more political analysts should be using jerkoff motions

woke is when you can eat salad without shitting your pants

just had another “fool me twice, shame on me” type situation and man, i would honestly pay someone to teach me how to not have this keep happening

Oh, hey there... I write books. They tend to fall into a speculative-sci-fi-horror sort of zone. The newest, THE OFF SEASON, is out in April 2027. GOD'S JUNK DRAWER is out now, with a paperback coming this November. I post about writing, toys, movies, and other stuff I enjoy. You've been warned.

Some of us thought the Pod bros were absolute garbage trash from day 1 and coincidentally we were the same people who thought Platner was garbage trash from day 1 and maybe you should all start fucking listening to us.
