I know I’m not supposed to be frightened or demoralized, but I’m frightened and demoralized.

What does “transgender for everybody” mean?

These times are turning me into somebody I don’t want to be.

We are being controlled by people who were put in power by about a third of the US public. That’s not how this is supposed to work.

Just thought I’d take a break from Elmo’s place for some fresher air here. Y’all okay?

Y’all. I’m pissed-off.

U.S., you’re breaking my heart.

Stephen Colbert is going SCORCHED EARTH right now. To RFK Jr: “Fuck you, you roid-addled nepo carnie! Fuck you, you roadkill-munching Luddite human slim jim!”

If you’re wondering how ICE recruitment and training is going under Kristi Noem—South Park already nailed it.

me: *reaches for spoon* spoon: you doing ok? you look tired

I will never forgive anybody for not voting Harris where their vote would have made a difference. Come at me with blaming her and get blocked.

Wake me in January 2029.

I’m overwhelmed by The Great Firehose of Suck and have little hope we can recover. I’m not quite sure what to do about the despair. A sort of ironic detachment seems to be my default.

AI technology doesn’t excite me in the least.

I think I’m finally tired of social media. (scrolls some more)

Bored with the “Leftist” vs. “Liberal” shit. We’re all on the same fucking side even though many of our representatives are weak and venal. It’s creating a division among the ranks that we can’t afford.

Part of my education as a child was Tom Lehrer. Indeed a significant portion of my worldview was influenced by his work. He retired from music really early in his long life, but he cast a long and weird shadow. I’m grateful that he shared his talent and wit with us.

I find your lack of face disturbing.

I noticed the neutral/rightward shift on NPR and all along I was thinking this very thing - that it will not save them.

#ProudBlue Elmo creates a diss track and sings what we are thinking!

If Christians can decide they don’t have to do anything they don’t want to like take vaccines because it’s against their religion, I can decide that anything I don’t want to do is against MY religion. Right?

STOP TALKING ABOUT EPSTEIN!

Stop uptalking? It weakens your statement?

What makes anybody, even the most faithful MAGA cult member, think that DJT wouldn’t boff an adolescent girl given half a chance?

I feel like dumping something into the harbor.

The bill is evil.

Dammit. Can y’all schedule a nationwide demonstration when I haven’t already committed to something else? How about a little notice?

I don’t think there is enough attention being given to the environmentally disastrous consequences of the widespread use of AI tools. I’d be happy if I didn’t kill the planet more than necessary with a Google search.

Pride celebration here in SF today. You love who you love. You are who you know you are.

It would be really cool if national budget bills were ONLY about the national budget.

I’ve seen all this coming since 1980. Y’all didn’t listen to me.

A radical Christian just murdered the speaker of a state house but the real worry is the theocratic muslim who said the bus should be cheaper

This is bad, folks.

a panel from this week's cartoon, just reposting for no reason

I keep feeling like calls for a national strike come from a place of privilege; from people who can afford to not work.

Your citizenship will not save you.

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them theonion.com/democra...

Just because I’m not entirely sure President Obama deserved his Nobel doesn’t mean that Cheeto Benito should have one.

Submitted without comment. youtu.be/Y3OiIjIvN0A?...

I’m was listening to a radio news broadcast yesterday wherein the announcer read off one of the Cheeto’s posts about Iran completely straight-faced and treating it with all the gravitas as a press release from a sane leader. The media has doomed us.

Resist.

CARTOON OF THE DAY… 🇺🇸

It is important to go outside and touch grass. Do not forget to touch grass. See bird. Eat dirt. Drink bear piss. Shovel the mushrooms into your ears and nose.

I’ve always spent a lot of time being unhappy about “The Way Things Are”. I sometimes wish I was ignorant and heartless so that I’d experience more joy. I tried religion for a while, but it didn’t stick. I just can’t cope with all the ugly. And I’m okay with that.

Congress.
