well boys: we did it

this sounds made up but i checked my phone in a parking lot in chattanooga and shouted "HE WON!!!" and several women screamed like their bff just got engaged. just a little anecdote for when they start telling us candidates like mamdani could never win anywhere else

Anyone who doesn’t run on this is missing a trick.

Since I’m seeing the comparisons again, your regular reminder that comparing Trump to Marie Antoinette is unkind. Marie Antoinette helped convince France to back the colonists during the Revolutionary War and was thus a significant positive for America.

Justice for Bogdan! If you loved the books, skip the movie. A new book is coming out in a month.

IYKYK. I was especially upset about this story change at this moment in history. To take a good-hearted, hard-working immigrant character and do what they did is just unacceptable. Justice for Bogdan!

Absolutely. Justice for Bogdan.

Justice for Bogdan. Thursday murder club movie.
