At piano recital and the retired grandpa from a small town behind me was talking about how he doesn’t watch the news because “the only news that he needs to know is that Jesus came back.” Small town performative religiosity and privilege is always shocking to see in the wild

Growing up is realizing that peak creativity is not just making art reflect reality in a new and different way. Like a song that perfectly captures the feelings of a rainy day. It’s about revealing a deeper truth by creating something unlike anything that’s come before it.

The set designers of Andor were really were on to something when they tapped into the insidious Sharper Image catalog aesthetic for Syril and Dedra’s apartment

If you’re a leftist then you should never be afraid of Wall Street again. Big changes will take time to work toward but putting a long plan together with safe guards to prevent interference from political volatility should be the number one priority once you gain power. WS is folding to DJT

The concept of an in group and an out group is necessary for these insecurely attached post war bigots. Their self worth is tied to the binary of deserving/undeserving which is only determined by have/have not and conforming/non conforming.

Our immune system has been suppressed. We’re resigned to consumption. It was never supposed to last but we’re responsible for its last days.

I never expected that this needed to be said but here we are. Please don’t kidnap Ms Rachel and send her to an El Salvadoran prison camp.

That’s right… Bill Kristol?

Me: We’re going to be ok. We’re so divided. Polarization has convinced us that we don’t share this country. We’re on the same team. Ted Cruz: Ha yeah go team Me: Fuck

Why are 70 year old men so afraid of college students writing articles? It sounds so personal and pathetic.

When the pathetic amount of personal grievance that fuels the reckless cuts isn’t satisfied, then what? Daniel Tiger isn’t why you have blackness in your heart. Don’t take it out on children you losers

Need to stop trying to do things the right way. Accountability isn’t a thing anymore. Vibe out and never back down and people will move on

One of the funniest things about the latest Disney movie controversy is that parents really don’t know or give a shit about stuff like that. They would love a good movie and if it bombs it’s because it wasn’t a good movie.

One of the most dad core things about me is that the first thing that comes to my mind when I see the first blooms of spring are Sweet Thing and just all of Astral Weeks.

Its such a cruel joke that I Know There’s Gonna Be (Good Times) was released a month before the Trump escalator ride.

Now we’re painting with all the colors of the wind

The detention of Mahmoud Khalil puts all Americans fundamental rights at risk. And if you can’t see that because you oppose his politics, well that’s exactly the reaction Trump and his cronies are counting on. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

We can’t all have many character energy. Nearly all of us are ducks. Like Daffy and Donald we just have to find acceptance that we’re here because it’s funny how stupid we are.

I know nothing about his personal life or views but strictly from a basketball standpoint it would whip to kick it with Boris Diaw

Venture Capitalism should be illegal. Strip mining companies to make a short term profit and leaving destruction in its wake has basically strapped a rocket to wealth inequality. Everyone is trying to get their bag before the party is over

Anyone with a job feels more and more squeezed for profit and the quality of life as a whole has cratered. Record profits and growth still have outcomes where there’s fear of layoffs and “temporarily taking someone’s work until they backfill” becomes permanent. No travel but CEOs get huge bonuses

Political parties are so toxic. We don’t think of politics like college football enough. The current administration aren’t knowledgeable or experienced of how things work. Imagine an average Finebaum listener who now gets to recruit and coach. They won’t see near the accountability a coach sees.

Any time people use “Yes, your fear of being rip off is true and valid. There are people taking advantage of you but it’s not who you think.” but doesn’t get closer to the truth then it’s just another option to choose from like another Coke freestyle

Conservatives zero-sum philosophy requires a fear of comeuppance and is fixated on tying wealth to personal worth. Redirecting that takes years of interpersonal healing that won’t happen online. In the meanwhile they don’t meed to be anywhere near power

“In the future they will all be against this” is the worst ideology I’ve ever seen. That shit doesn’t happen on its own. Aliens/China/Jesus Christ won’t save us. Yes, we feel disconnected from any control of our lives but how much have we tried to do offline? Some it might be a lot but others. . .

Life may be dunking on you but it’s another day for #BallUpTop

Waking up in a cold sweat because your letterboxd four favorites had 2 movies in the same genre

Return to work is not about productivity or quality or even retention. It’s about leverage against labor. Anyone that can work from home will now have to give up salary and benefits if they want that flexibility.

The media is taking a gamble. They think that a presidential election and honeymoon approval rating means that their audience, for the time being, wants an exclusively friendly reading of news from the administration. It’s convenient for the owners of these companies that this gov most benefits

If Dan Bongino gets a real job, then my dad won’t be able to listen to him podcast so I’m in favor of that

The older I get, the more I appreciate the concept of "IQ." Whenever someone seriously mentions the importance of IQ, I know I can shut my brain off because nothing they say is worth thinking about. It's so convenient!

Those that enabled the American gerontocracy will never see heaven.

Even if a few weeks of the instability and layoff and funding cuts get immediately reversed, there will be lasting negative impacts for years to come. This level of disruption may be a libertarian wet dream but it will be our nightmare

Having a hard time imagining any possible way that the Democratic Party could be less willing or able to meet the moment.

To be determined whether the root causes of the plane crashes are related to failures of the federal administration but they’re certainly going to get more attention than other failures that will take longer to develop but will be just as if not more devastating

In 2014 the kings new owner proposed a 4 on 5 defense with the 5th player Cherry picking on the other end. A powerful example of the Dunning-Kruger effect. There were more controls in place to prevent the team using that in a game than anything DOGE is doing to our government.

“This would go so hard if I was a dumb person.” -Me, a dozen times a day for the past few weeks

God I have so much work to do. Maybe I should do another gender dysphoria quiz and cry for the rest of the day about the results again.

How embarrassing is it that I made an alt account when literally no other person knows or cares about my last account?

I tried to live without an account but I failed.
