I can’t stop thinking about the sad essential truth of this.
“Probably human cruelty is fixed and eternal. Only styles change.”

So does Corey Lewandowski go with Noem or will he be having an affair with Markwayne Mullin next?
The zealots screaming about upholding the 2nd Amendment are the same zealots screaming about canceling the 1st Amendment, including the Establishment Clause.
This is what happens when White Christian Nationalists take over the government.
Amidst the madness of the moment, spending the weekend with two of the ladies I love most (along with a couple indulgent and f’n worth it sandwiches) was the real treat.
“This, like me, is a lot.”

It was an honor to eulogize my stepdad last Sunday. Here it is, in full:

Do you feel safer yet? 85 dead school girls.
We're killing more innocent girls to cover up for rich pedophiles who raped and murdered innocent girls.

If bombing Iran for a 2d time in 8 months doesn’t get the poor fella a Peace Prize I just don’t know what will
A short story from earlier this evening:
“Annie, be patient. I’m working on my notorious impatience. You’re along for the journey.”

Ninety seconds later: “Good girl!”
Lots of people triple their net worth in a single year...by stealing every dollar they can.
One year of Donald Trump profiteering from public office and selling access and influence:

The Trump boys are Making Corruption Great Again (and out in the open because shamelessness is a Trump family skill)

Tauntauns are also drinking iced coffee from Dunkies while plowing (probably)

The thing about tariffs and UFOs is that Trump raped children and is covering up other elites who also raped children.
Listening to this live performance on @wxpnfm.bsky.social and it's fantastic. Support public media!
MAGA feigns indignation when you call them Nazis.
So why are they so openly using the Nazi playbook then?

When reality intrudes on the regime's down-is-up narrative, they try to punish reality itself.
YOU, the American consumer, are paying 90% of the tariffs. Period. All the noise from jackasses like Kevin Hassett is just that--noise from a jackass.
A century ago, Italians and Greeks weren't considered "white."
Jews are still not considered white by white nationalists/racist assholes.
"Heritage" is the same repackaged racist nonsense that's driven this country since its founding.
Especially if you're Jewish, as the white supremacists don't consider us white anyway.
#Shopify knowingly enables consumer fraud through its technology.
An enterprising class-action attorney has a massive opportunity to right some major wrongs here.

"I’m so woke that I believe America isn’t a white birthright,
that we are all one interdependent community,
that people and places are made better by diversity,
that no one’s religion should be compulsory,
that non-American human beings have as much value as American ones"@johnpavlovitz.bsky.social
“THERE’S BLACK ICE EVERYWHERE, YOU HAVE TO BE SO CAREFUL” I shouted aloud to no one while the dog smirked at me.
And now I’d like my pudding cup and a nap.
Nihilism
This post from @nonprofitaf.bsky.social --whose newsletter you ought to be reading religiously anyway--is spot on.
The Dems insist that everyone play by the rules while MAGA tips the game board over, takes a gleeful dump on the pile, and walks out triumphantly.
Pathetic.
Your periodic reminder that #Shopify hosts fraudulent storefronts that rip off consumers and then provides no recourse. They simply allow and enable fraud.

Donald Trump has turned America into a violent fascist kleptocracy. But the NFL just forced some culturally unfamiliar music upon me. I have never felt more politically homeless.
You want art as comfort food?
Then what you want isn't art. You want conformity and affirmation at the expense of reality.
You want your fear disguised as hegemony accepted unconditionally.
Art is supposed to challenge you.
Art is supposed to question convention and expectation.
Art is supposed to make you *think*.
If you're complaining about the halftime show, take a minute to think about what it is you're so upset about.
You want monoculture? 1/
