Don't think I can stomach anything tonight other than overproof bourbon and spicy tempura seaweed chips. I believe the kids call this "girl dinner"

Nursing a take that the major Silicon Valley firms can be understood as organized crime syndicates and perform some of the same functions as the old ones used to — money laundering, feeding addictions, skirting regulations, political influence.

The fact that one of the local college radio stations just played enough is enough by chumbawumba and followed it with Bella Ciao tells me something is perhaps percolating.

Just in case people don't know the context, this is a policy called splitting the letters, developed by fundamentalist Christians to use feminist and queer language and culture to split the T off and then turn the others against each other. You can watch their 2017 conference planning it.

accidentally fell through a hole into one of those analogue horror liminal spaces but this one is based around the 90’s pizza hut buffet so I’m feeling pretty good about it

“I’m here today to directly and unambiguously express that stark strategic realities prevent the United States from being the primary guarantor of security in Europe.” US Secretary of Defence, February 12, 2025. Everything changed today.

I am a thoroughly unreachable voter, but I will knock doors for any democratic candidate who racks the slide on a handgun while reciting their oath to defend the constitution while standing between a DOGE employee and the entrance to a federal building.

In second grade, we made a bunch of cards to hand out on a trip to a Veterans assisted living facility. I made a huge stack, but drew the “wrong” number of star/stripes on a small flag with those fat Crayola markers. Teacher berated me, threw them all in the trash, and made me do it again.

The funniest thing about the planned male dominated future to me (YMMV) is the ways women would end their unwanted marriages. The average home and yard are full of lethal options before you get to blunt objects, knives, or guns. That "good old days" mythos never mentions murder clusters.

Get your emergency supplies together, organized, and accessible. Do what you can afford. Even a little will go a long way. I cannot say this enough: our communities are going to be on their own in emergencies. The cavalry isn't coming, it will be dismantled.

Once again, I am here from Poland to tell you that predicating your response to a rule of law crisis on fear of how your opponents will frame your resistance is as ineffectual as it is solipsistic.

As we watch the GOP dismantle the federal government with swift urgency, we must acknowledge the reason we are here is Dems do not move with that urgency. When Roe was overturned, Dems held the House, Senate, and White House. Instead of codifying Roe, they fundraised off of it.

Homan doubled-down on far-Right fever dreams + ended up using tanks + heavily militarized agents in door to door attacks on working-class people at an apartment complex. Their failing to get the numbers Trump wants + now plan on deporting entire families - same move that tanked support in 2018.

Further confirmation that there is no enforcement mechanism for these orders. Musk and co. are going to keep going until someone physically stops them.

The only way I can interpret the GOP's actions is that they are 100% certain they will never face another democratic election again. They hit the shore and burned their ships.

They don’t announce they are going to suspend the constitution they just stop following rule of law. No one is going to tell you “this is the moment they’ve suspended the constitution” in effect we are already in the space where that has happened and we need to start to act like it as a population.

There are no police to stop a coup. There are plenty of police to stop those who would stop a coup.

The absolute glee some are displaying in blaming Palestinians, and people who protested on their behalf, for their own ethnic cleansing is a strategic error (obvs you target the decision maker), a political error (obvs you need those votes), and a moral error (obvs fix your hearts or die).
