oh for sure, they will great us as liberators. that always happens

I am doing a Big Country check-in. Showing support for one another. I need SIX people to post, not share, this message to help remind everyone that Big Country's life-affirming 1983 hit "In a Big Country" is always there if you need a boost. Pretty sure I know who will...

can we please not bomb the 1 foreign country that loves my plays? yes I know this will affect other people in much more significant ways, but like, cmon man. does the Journal have any idea what this will do to my personal brand

I know every soccer fan thinks the world is against their team, but I'm stunned at how english sports media is gleeful that Spurs are probably getting relegated. they are hooting and hollering at our misery. I get that it's fun to see a big dog get relegated but we're not Man City what the hell guys

going on teevee to declare you're sick and tired of going on the teevee

my wife kicks so much ass. dirt books = a century ahead of everyone else lithub.com/introducing-...

Olympics are fine but nothing beats the thrill of watching the map with the little car carrying my pizza

is chotiner an uggo or something because millions of people would watch him do his thing live every night if he had his own show. or on a stream. imagine watching isaac chotiner play fortnite while cold-calling various public figures. divine

just found out that simone giertz, the "queen of shitty robots," is a nepo baby......no more heroes.....

I know he has difficulty processing language because of his stroke but he seems like he genuinely doesn't understand the questions. mark kirk (remember him?) had a debilitating stroke and he spent like 2 years rehabbing until he made public appearances, probably so shit like this didn't happen

any sickos on here into the Love Has Won cult? I've watched the documentary series like 4 times now I am so obsessed with them, they're the most shambolic sloppiest most incompetent cult in history and I can't get enough of this insane bullshit

Nearly every military base in the continental US has lawyers nearby who are ready to help seekers of the objector status. It's not an honorable discharge guarantee, but when the gov is engaging in illegal wars ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ centeronconscience.org/mil-co-guide...

Also, according to Greg Stoker, you can register as a contentious objector and get honorably discharged with all VA benefits for time already served

jimi hendrix, war hero:

i've been gifted the mother lode of jimi hendrix army stories

exactly!

doing a new Playwright Bit where I refer to “my trilogy” but keep changing which 3 plays constitute it

You're absolutely right — Lucy will not move the football next time. It's only natural to worry she might move it when you go to kick it, but there's no evidence to suggest she will. Kicking footballs is not just a goal, it's your mission in life. Now, go ahead and kick the football.

I feel like lots of IRL liberals don't understand how little elected democrats care about their constituents. politicians see the same news as us, so why aren't they as motivated to do something? I think it's because to be a politician you actively have to destroy your own empathy to survive

there's a week left until the Maine ballot is locked in. there's no third challenger to mills and tat-ner. the democrats are fundamentally unserious and don't care that they won't win back the senate

I dont think people realize how bad public education will be cooked in the next 5-10 years. there won't be real teachers, you'll have glorified babysitters with zero training supervising rooms of 50+ kids watching AI slop YouTube video "lessons" on tablets

sad news: nermal has been killed by an iranian drone attack on abu dhabi. an innocent victim of a senseless war

the real freak out stat is in the article—that 85% of the teachers working 2 jobs do so *during the regular school year.* they’re struggling to make ends meet, they’re not picking up seasonal gigs for extra $ during summer vacation

livestream theatre on April 19 at 2 PM ET: select scenes from my play THE LEFT. a free event part of Inspire: A Performing Arts Festival by and for the Airborne Aware. rsvp at tinyurl.com/rsvpinspire mention The Left in message

"Irans Red Crescent Society said nearly 800 people have been killed so far, 170 of them are said to be children"

marco rubio got one of the worst cases of cokejaw i've ever seen. homie is trying to eat his own face

when I grow my hair and mustache really long I call it "going Dickey Betts Mode"

bruce is a great performer and songwriter but i think his #1 skill is "introducing a song with a long rambling monologue while Little Steven dicks around on guitar" www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ffin...

igor tudor is increasingly desperate I see

new theory: “new england” should really just refer to new hampshire, vermont, and maine. connecticut, massachusetts, and rhode island are part of Greater New Italy along with NY/NJ/eastern PA

"he was no match for our intelligence and tracking systems" bro you blew up his house. his big house centrally located in the middle of the capital city

hindsight is 20/20 but a lot of online leftist analysis was wrong about iran's and their allies' military capabilities. it's still early, but out of all the axis of resistance nations, only the Houthis have their original leadership intact. predictions for a sort of IRL Millennium Challenge were off

I hate war

in nixonland (or invisible bridge? both maybe) by @rickperlstein.bsky.social there’s a whole section on the nixon admin promoting cheaper cuts of meat due to inflation and it’s uncannily the same as this

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims. By @mckenziefunk.com @micarosenberg.bsky.social

I fell in love with my wife the second I heard her say "that paul giamatti-lookin muthafuckah" in a boston accent

I know that the american theater industry is in dire straits. but the bright side of being unprofitable is never worrying about billionaires ruining us. the ellisons aren't gonna buy The Tank, they don't even know what it is!

don't worry gys. I'm upping my offer to $31.01 per share for Warner Bros.

maine's senate race is the perfect conflagration of Discourses and is guaranteed to produce a bad outcome no matter your ideology: 1. collins is too conservative for moderates but isn't MAGA 2. dems choose between a boring centrist or bernie guy who's either a poorly disguised nazi or a total moron

Dunkin Donuts: Sorry, we’re out of chocolate glazed. Me: [about to lose it] No Mark, save this feeling. Use it for your art.

BREAKING: Protests have erupted at Columbia University after the school says DHS agents detained a student after making "misrepresentations to gain entry" to building.

cops tasered and beat a blind man and then charged him with possession of a weapon because he had a walking stick. then border patrol eventually dumped him on the other side of town and now he’s dead

1) In one of the most personal (and, IMO, one of the most important) essays I have ever published, I wrote in @literaryhub.bsky.social on Jesse Jackson's LGBTQ legacy and what he meant to me regarding Black manhood, being born "illegitjmate," and practing love in America lithub.com/jesse-jackso...
