It's hard to laugh at it but a kind of bleakly funny throughline in all this is that it's being overseen by people who 1) have never had any kind of real job, 2) don't know what these particular jobs are or might entail and haven't asked, and 3) are absolutely convinced that they are fake.

If any other national broadcasters are looking for debaters as to whether the US should illegally and violently annex Canada as their 51st state, I am happy to volunteer my time as the side who answers every rational, thoughtful question with "Why the actual fuck are we being balanced about this"

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

It is almost impossible to explain the sheer insanity of Elon Musk apparently having the capability to email the entire federal government evidently without getting approval from anyone—and, apparently, against the wishes of most Cabinet departments.

Things can get complicated when you have to retroactively rewrite a storyline because of an unexpectedly popular character, like when Boba Fett “died” in the Sarlacc pit, or when we killed Hitler and collectively proclaimed “Never Again.”

I'm always so relieved when I come across Americans who were truly affected by watching a genocide for 15 months straight. I'm not sure what's wrong with those who weren't, but I know they're directly connected to the predicament this country finds itself in today. You can't localize lack of empathy

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be legislators right now. We need them to be politicians. There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.

A lot of people who’ve posted that “I don’t know how to explain that you should care about other people” quote need to know that they should care about other people. I want my tax dollars to go to paying for insulin for the most vile MAGA asshole you ever heard of; that’s part of “everyone”.

Billionaires and fascists (but I repeat myself) are the ne plus ultra of "you can't give evil morons a heckler's veto over your art." Tolkien, a veteran of the trenches, didn't need to create a Walter White character for Afrikaaner vampire Peter Thiel to name his surveillance company Palantír

Very interesting that there was a big DC police presence in my neighborhood tonight, due — according to the folks on the street — to the fact that there were protesters outside a DOGE party. When I asked if there had been threats, I got a “there’s always a concern.”
