Part of me wishes I’d stuck to the Capitol Hill reporter path way back when just so, 30 years later, I could start a war question with “Miss Lindsey, you said…”

Just got an email from James Carville for Abigail Spanberger. Responded that if they wanted me to do anything they should stop sending me emails from fucking James Carville. (Voting for her regardless but I need that desiccated husk out of my life)

honestly does seem like the basic dynamic in american politics right now is that a critical number of voters treat Democrats like their (nagging) mom or their (bitch) wife and treat Republicans like the “cool” dad or husband who is at best a deadbeat

Democrats are racking their brains trying to find the "Joe Rogan of the left" while doing everything they can to defeat people like Zohran Mamdani and AOC, who actually possess the skills they're so desperately looking for.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

Every damn thing we said would happen if Trump got elected has happened in five fucking months. Nice country, when we had one. (To be clear: I am not advocating defeatism, I'm just exercising my right to angry irony before figuring out how I can help clear these fascists out of our system.)

I’ve always self-censored at work, not just because I’m a white man. To be in the world, you don’t say everything you think. Why do these assholes seem to think the opposite?

Jesus fucking Christ these people. When I escaped Kentucky I’d hoped to eventually help my home state get better, not turn the rest of the country into a racist cesspool like this fucker is doing.

On the one hand, I can’t remember a time we weren’t (rightly) complaining about the Metro section being underfunded/neglected. On the other, well, I guess the other is just Bezos destroys even the good that was left. Yay wealthy people controlling everything!

This is the funniest cringe I’ve seen in a while. And it is some hardcore cringe.

AOC played ball and did everything Pelosi told her and was rewarded by being passed over for a 75-year-old who died four months later. There have now been four House votes this year where Dems lost by the margin of members who died in office. No one has more right to say this than her

We really need to stop talking about this as some kind of looming threat rather than a process well underway. It’s not “close.” You have arrived at your destination. The order has been delivered.

My hatred for Carlson is deep and documented but, goddammit, he’s right here. Just here. No further. He still fucking sucks. But Ted Cruz sucks more because he’s a U.S. FUCKING SENATOR.

On the one hand, sure. On the other hand, do we trust some asshole who just assassinated people to give an accurate self-narrative?

Stupid me, I never thought of suing potential advertisers when I was running Metro Weekly, a publication that only made money through ads. Obviously, I don't have the deep, generational, genius talent of these Silicon Valley dipshits.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you? Welp, I'm screwed.

I’m back on Facebook after a year and one thing I didn’t miss was the passive-aggressive posts about cancer that dare you not to repost them because “I’m sure only five of my friends will share this.” I know it’s mostly boomers but good god.

Holy shit, I wish I’d have thought of this grift when I was running Metro Weekly. We just worked hard like fucking chumps. Stupid us!

One of the things I learned as a columnist writing gay sex humor (in the ancient age of the 90s) was grow and change or die. No one's schtick lasts forever and doing the same thing over and over and over is a depressing journey.

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates
