And then this shit just came out. When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car. When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

Let's say it again so we're clear: Los Angeles IS America. New York City IS America. And we're sick of this shit. We won't be villainized or occupied or targeted. We're fucking united and we're strong.

Just finished this thing. All six volumes. Started in February, alternated with other books. All 3,920 pages of it. It’s a wild ride. Bold and brilliant, awful and fascinating. Part of me thinks everyone should read these books. Part of me thinks nobody should.

I was always curious if Israel or Russia had more blackmail on Trump and this is a terrible way to find out it’s Israel.

The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.

Every now and then I give real thought to all the people who chose years ago, and also months ago, to make me think all the time every day about one of the absolute worst people on Earth, and how easily they could have chosen not to do that, and I mourn all the time they have wasted, mine and yours.

The owner of Twitter sends out 100 right wing propaganda tweets every single day and the algorithm is set up so that every single person on Twitter has to see every single one of these tweets. Now here’s another piece about Blue Sky’s ideological diversity problem.

We are seeing “indie” go from being a style (as it became in the aughts/10s) back to being a mode of production! Letting big corporations think for you is not independent!

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

Made it to The Phonecian Scheme today. Really enjoyed it. It’s maybe one of Anderson’s funnier films? Feels closest to Grand Budapest, Life Aquatic, French Dispatch in scope and approach. Great, great stuff.
