Three hours without an update I am absolutely terrified about the implications right now.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Living? Aesop Rock. That might be a cliche answer and some might cringe but I'm sorry, man puts out an album of 12-20 songs every 2 years and each of them I could write an essay just analyzing but also contain stuff to hook you first listen.

Kiln by Hail Mary Mallon proves my point.

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

You want to think the lack of consequences for Jan 6 would sell the libs in your life on the fact that the law won't save us, but God we've been doing "that's iLlEgAL!" For nearly ten straight years with no progress

I do have to remember that this is the site where people's response to fascist overreach and the direct harm we get to see is still "isn't that illegal?"

Girl have you listened to them? Do you think that matters? Please sell me on why the law will stop something it hasn't even been slowing down!

Y'all told these motherfuckers it was OK to let trans people lose their rights. Now they're banking on people letting them abandon everyone who looks vaguely Latino as well as actual immigrants. Who are y'all advocating for moderation gonna abandon next?

Durbin on whether Democrats can use reining in ICE in Chicago as a precondition to rein in the government says “can’t do that. It’s gotta be health care all the way.”

Ah but remember, like how musicians need drugs to be creative, comedians need trauma to be funny right? That's certainly what I've been told when I joke about my trauma and apparently the trade off is totally worth it right?

Not to espouse hopelessness, though I give in to it at times in my frustration. I just don't feel like anyone smart enough to have any answers is ever listened to.

Dude if the Democratic Party has a place for anti-trans and anti-abortion candidates then I’m not a democrat and I won’t vote for one

I don’t know what to tell you man, there’s already a political party who believes these things

It’s not a “big tent” to have zero fixed values in pursuit of power

Ads in red zone? Good way to guarantee I'll never buy whatever's advertised there. Lowe's, you're dead to me.

I want to like the Eagles more than I do but every time I watch them there's at least one moment where they collectively act like a baby who's had their pacifier stolen.
Grown ass men 🙄
