Hey….Dem leadership: “If you’re trying to choose between two theories and one gives you an excuse for being lazy, the other one is probably right.” -Paul Graham

As soon as their ducks are in a row (no offense to ducks), i wonder how long it will be before they declare anyone who opposes them a terrorist…

Somewhere in my mid winter's hibernation delusional-ism I committed to keeping a herd of goats this spring. I kid you not.

An entire Trump Administration of the world's worst Affirmative Action hires compromising of thoroughly unqualified men, white mediocre men, kiss ups, toadies, bootlickers and cultists.

I have spent a lot of time since 2016 arguing with people about whether I was too worried and whether experts like me were exaggerating the threat. I never said authoritarianism was a certainty, but I always said the risk was unacceptably high. And.... <gestures wildly>

I just discovered kombucha mocktails and im now on a personal quest to watch every video ever made

A reminder to still get out and be human, regardless of how awful things get. Stay balanced ✌️

THIS.

Fkn right.

Didn’t find the cocktail glasses, but I did find books, which should surprise absolutely no one.

3 years ago, 3+ months of geolocating, identifying & counting came to a shattering horror: that the Russians were actually going to be stupid enough to invade. Even with seeing so much, in retrospect, nothing could have prepared us for the start. Never going to forget that time. Still surreal.

The official policy of the United States of America is that having values or believing in the rule of law is the equivalent to having a fetish for watching your wife get nailed by a stranger. That’s Trumpism.

The world may be ending, but at least there are still $3 mimosas.

My gift to the world today:

In my world, impartiality and neutrality is the golden rule. But I can’t. Not on this. Impartiality is solidly in the dumpster headed to the landfill.

Make Town Halls Spicy Again.

Same two smug SOBs who are in this clip re voter suppression: www.facebook.com/share/r/1B5d...

“Extra security” is how the Sheriff is playing it. These thugs are almost certainly Idaho militia. Absolutely no one stepped in to help once they refused to identify. Should’ve left in body bags.

Tools.

It’s Texas. The bar is at its lowest possible level.

Shipping up to Boston gonna play rent free in my head Next week. LFG.

Mesmerizing

Also, they can't call concentration camps or Nazi salutes by their name. Again, these outlets do great investigative journalism, but it is fully negated by their constant normalization & "reverse emailing" of the fascism. I wish it weren't the case, but it is. Other choices remain readily available.
