just paid my second quarter taxes and .... it feels fucking terrible.

really good news, I was very worried he was going to manage another attack before they got him

When you fire all the dei from a group, you lose everyone who's performed in a showchoir and can keep basic time

Happy Father's Day to my favorite patriarch of a gay found family who manages to be both a stuffy British librarian and a stone-cold killer.

This is an egregiously shameful tweet from a US senator

The protests aren’t stopping anytime soon in AZ. Thousands of protesters in Tempe right now for an anti-ICE protest.

30-50 frazzled sweaters.

It's like playing a Soulslike game, and this boss has a big, slow windup attack. You see it coming, you know you'll have to dodge, jump, or parry, but you don't know the timing so right now you're just watching and trying not to waste stamina. But your reflexes may not be what they used to be.

When you hear the whining about "police injured on duty" in LA today: the people actually listening to the scanners said LASD fired rubber bullets at LAPD so LAPD tear-gassed LASD. The protestors are gonna get blamed for it, but it was entirely self-inflicted.

Adding: Hoffman entered public service because he could not get health insurance for Holly, now in her 20s, who was born with a disability and is now an amputee. He’s a relentless advocate. This morning his wife threw herself on Holly and was shot in her stead. MN disability community in shock.

Breaking: Shots fired at No Kings protest in Salt Lake City. Live updates here.

This was the Morbius rerelease of military parades.

Genie: ok what do you want for your birthday Trump: a military parade, oh, and also millions of people on the street chanting my name Genie: okie dokie

So basically what you're saying is that the Army played a version of Fortunate Son and the audience played a version of 4′33″

The laugh I just laughed out loud...

Removing pepperball residue from clothing and other items. This is based on my (unfortunately extensive) personal experience and experimentiation. Pepperballs contain powdered PAVA, an oily, synthetic capsaicin analog. The only reliable way to remove it is with a good surfactant soap and water. 1/

VERBATIM YOU SAY THIS VERBATIM

Oh my God

Why, back in my day, TROs weren't even immediately appealable!

One of my favorite things I’ve ever written! www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/wha... What a Straight Man’s Favorite Musical Says About Him - McSweeney’s Internet Tendency

Hmm, performance wise, I overlapped college with Meghan Markle, so she almost certainly saw me perform (and I can only assume she was so inspired by me that she decided to pursue acting as a career. You're welcome.) As a lawyer, I twice sat next to Sandra Day O'Connor at events.

I have an Odysseus joke that's a real motherfucker, but it seems wrong to post it on Fathers Day weekend.

Excited to see that black people performing country music are only eligible for 3/5ths of a Grammy

Horrifying. Is it in the top 3 horrifying bits of news I've learned in the past hour? I honestly can't tell anymore.
