welcome to the resistance *squints* breton nationalists???

my fellow swifties, please read the room. not the time.

the weather here in nyc sucks and the protests here are massive, probably the biggest I’ve seen since BLM

it would appear that the one night i log off and try to enjoy a quiet night out at the theatre with friends, one of the worst possible scenarios unfolds

lovely little musical. not perfect but did very much enjoy it.

Donald Trump tore up the Iran Deal because a Democrat created it, and Biden was a coward who didn’t meaningfully try to undo Trump’s damage. Now, not satisfied with a genocide in Palestine, an occupation in Western Syria, and airstrikes in Lebanon, Israel is on the verge of another brutal war.

a racist chud gets jealous of a person of african descent and tries to being the force of the state against them, many such cases www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/w...
