How I roll as an atmospheric river drowns the world outside, with National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation on the tv.

Just so our guests know . . . .

Walked into one of my regular dive bars, sat down, ordered drink. “Here comes a regular” by The Replacements comes on. Reconsideration of my life ensues.

Must watch from @skepchick.org. We are only beginning to grasp the true implications of the Epstein emails, much less what will be in the DOJ files. And the deeper the rabbit hole goes, the more likely that someone will decide to sacrifice Trump to save themselves.

People aren’t going to be abandoning New York because of Mamdani but, even if they did, they wouldn’t be going to Louisiana. www.pbump.net/o/americans-...

Capitol Hill bar urinal, Seattle.

ChatGPT: Acting as an expert criminal prosecutor, summarize all mentions of Donald Trump in the DOJ Epstein files and other documents released by the US House of Representatives, and provide a conclusion whether he was involved in sex trafficking, with reference to specific evidence.

When you realize that your first attempt at long-form fiction that you wrote in your early 20s was actually yaoi.

Chuck Schumer is the Neville Chamberlain for our time.

There’s something a little too ironic about having ramen for dinner while watching Inventing Anna.

And the tide turns against Trump. MAGA, and the Republican brand. On to 2026!

i hope to see enterprising democrats announce their intent to retire schumer and gillibrand over the next two years.

The original bishonen, though he hated to be thought of as such.

Funny, I don’t see the crematoria on the site plan. Considering that most of the homeless I’ve seen in SLC are young queer people kicked out of their homes, I predict these will turn into queer youth torture and conversion camps.

I’ll say one thing about Zohran Mamdani - he has a mean ring game going.

With all these massive layoffs (and I'm sure there are more to come), you would think our Federal leadership would be more concerned about doing something to stimulate the labor market than whether or not they can send the US military into our cities for the purpose of authoritarian control.

You know, it would be nice to live in a country where someone was willing to make a $130M donation to support SNAP instead of the military.

“Boots” is the best soldier boy yaoi ever.

Tonight’s Halloween movie: This Burton’s “Dark Shadows” What a missed opportunity for Ryan Murphy.

I wonder what it's like to lead a life of financial security? At 60, I doublt I will ever know.

This pegs the needle for metaphorical appropriateness.

Dunno, I think they're doing a pretty good job of it themselves.

Stickers coming soon!

Out of control. Thanks Chief Justice John Roberts.

Through Oct. 19, 2017, Trump had spent all or part of 93 days at Trump Org properties and likely played golf on 57. As of Oct. 19, 2025, he's spent all or part of 102 days at his private properties and likely played golf on 71 days. www.pbump.net/o/an-officia...

That’s certainly a way of saying that

Got an email this afternoon from the sexual predator who I thought was my older best nerd friend who sexually groomed me throughout high school. Just to say hi and that he was out of prison for the second time for child sexual abuse. Sunday funday indeed.

Driving back from No Kings with my spouse, “I Will Follow You into the Dark” by Deathcab for Cutie” came on. It’s someone singing to their lover on their deathbed. We had a great time, don’t cry, I’ll follow you. As the older lover, I was almost moved to a point of emotion where I couldn’t drive.

sic semper tyrannosaurus

I’ve reached the age where laughter turns into coughing.

"sir it was supposed to be a metaphor"

The vibe of Seattle No Kings was very “my first demo with mom and grandmom,” but that’s fine and cute, everybody has to start somewhere.

pour one out for george soros and the brutal writer’s cramp he must have from signing all those checks

At today’s No Kings in Seattle, dude walking next to me: “wow, does everybody smoke pot here? me: “dude you’re in seattle of course.” “I just arrived here.” “Where from?” “Miami” “Dude, you’ve got a lot to learn. And if you want some, there’s a shop right on the corner.”

Someone please tell Sean James — who abandoned the name Sean Burch upon shifting to writing lazy, pro-Trump garbage for Mediaite — that actually the former vice president’s claim of the closest margin this century is accurate.

Straw hat pirates FTW!

It would make you even more nervous if you were the target of hate speech from the pulpit, and been dealing with the effect on your life and friends for over 40 years. More disingenuous BS from David French.

It is true that — for Republicans — the Young Republicans who were in that racist chat were young. It is also true that younger men in particular tend to be a bit more positive about fascists and racists. www.pbump.net/o/those-youn...

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

It is true that Vance's approach to toxic comments is hypocritical, advocating for Kirk critics to be fired but dismissing racist Republicans as kids. But he is consistent when you consider that his aim is only protecting his/Trump's power. www.pbump.net/o/whose-side...

Hmmmmm. Given the recent leaked Telegram chats and this, I think the Republicans have a Nazi problem.

What an incredible snowflake.

Guess what we did today?

The WA GOP leadership is so very smart to threaten the city that has the only significant voting base in the state, where their domain is the wastelands of Eastern Washington. This is why they will never win state-wide office in the MAGA era, and why they will keep losing district elections to Dems.

“Run! The transasaurus is on the loose!”

It will be instructive to see how the ratings of the two events compare.
