This is the definition of a great neighborhood bar.

Shit! I need to up my fucking game.

if we ever get our hands on the money R1 universities like Northwestern willingly forked over to Trump, we should use it for universal pre-K and no-tuition community college, rather than return a cent.

There's a movie festival showing "Battleship Potemkin," "The Exorcist," "Rocky" and "The Joker." What's the theme? 🎥

And the fourth film in the Alien series is clearly titled as an Easter movie.

Climb every mountain!

As I've said before, they want people like me to be either subservient or gone, by whatever means necessary.

Of course, I did listen to Louis Armstrong’s Hot Five and Hot Seven when I was in high school, so maybe not so strange.

My kid and other teens are getting into 1970s pop which would be like me listening to music from the 1930s in my youth.

Always wild when Republicans (or even Democrats!) are like "I don't think my father, the inventor of Reaganism, would be too pleased to hear about this" about something that the Reagan administration, in fact, did because it was filled with corrupt right-wing ideologues with no moral compasses

@profanity.accountant I’m fucking curious.

“I was just following otters.”

I feel like, "Why do Trump's doctors keep administering cognitive exams to him?" is a question the media might want to pursue, if for some reason they were inclined to apply the same standards to a Republican politician that they do to Democratic ones.

This Thanksgiving, ICE fascists are arresting people in San Diego At Their Green Card Interviews! These immigrants followed the law & did everything right—ICE is arresting them anyway. It was never about law & order. It was always about fascism & white supremacy. Abolish ICE. Protect our Republic.

JK Rowling got a full *decade* of press as a martyr for being "cancelled" (declared passe by people online) and meanwhile nobody considers it very interesting that a prominent left wing author is basically banned from entering or publishing in the United Kingdom for her politics

Multiple things can be true simultaneously. Certainly, the case here.

National Guard soldiers didn't sign up to be deployed as local police indefinitely as part of someone else's political stunt. They're not set up to be local police, they never should have been deployed.

Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.
