Bloody hell, Thomas Aquinas was massive. I think he's the only kaiju to have been a Doctor of the Church.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

there really is no alternative to tearing up CBP and ICE root and branch

markets soar as investors realize that mommy didn't actually disappear, she was just hiding behind her hands

Unfortunately this is true :(

Ursula K. Le Guin on the true pain of being a writer

this is so dumb but also amazing lol

i’m losing my shit at this

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too? 🚮

yes ... and, apropos of nothing, once i was in line at a DC bookstore and the woman in front of me was buying Annihilation... I asked if she wanted it signed... and she asked to see my driver's license 😂

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Gemini: You can't fix a monkey paw problem with a monkey paw but keep trying. It's hilarious!

The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

Great

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

That Super Bowl was a gift for black artists. Kendrick showed us a way forward in this time of facism. Coded language. Storytelling. Aggressive humor and joy. Elevated artistry in the place of mere entertainment. Not obeying in advance. Saying the thing that respectability doesn’t want us say.

I will never yield a nanometer in my open contempt and disgust for the drones and useful idiots who called Musk a free speech hero.

Dem official getting arrested on TV is gonna get them re-elected instantly if anyone needs that incentive

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

by the time my family finally visits me at the old folks home i've got the nurses all convinced it's them who have dementia, so they're introducing themselves as my sons and daughters to my real sons and daughters and i'm sitting there thinking, boy i sure hope MY family visits someday

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives

Chicago, baby.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Not Birdo

buying a cybertruck and putting it in long term storage so i can rent it in 30 years to filmmakers who want to convey "this guy is a dipshit" in period pieces

Extras cut from the Fake Plastic Trees music video: - Baby with a septum piercing - Sad old woman with tattoos playing the accordion - Bobby in a mohawk - Rich guy in a top hat gets declined for a credit card and stares sadly at the camera holding a sign that just says “QUID” - Tarted up John Major

I’m a regular at this coffee shop. my baristas asked me what I was up to and I said “drawing a bird like always” which led to me jokingly suggest they have a bird drawing competition and I can be the judge. when I came back they’d actually done it

for the potato fears not death
