My exposure to Fox News has skyrocketed. It’s gross. But Fox is absolutely scared shitless about James Talarico. More than Jasmine, more than more than Mamdani. It’s the type of hot venom that oozes from the sting of feeling convicted, before the courage to change sets in.

The Great Value “Chicken Finger Dipping Sauce” is an *excellent* Cane’s Sauce dupe. “Great Value- beating capitalism with capitalism since 1993”

Many DEI initiatives suffered greatly from racially motivated weaponized incompetence.

Remember years ago when Elon Musk was on SNL and admitted outright that DOGE was a hustle? He was talking about the bitcoin, but it’s true for his current venture, too.

Turning Point is staffing an initiative called “Blexit” that looks to bring about the “black exit from victimhood mentality.” Of course all applicants must sign an NDA.

Nothing needs to be ‘exposed’ when it’s all out in the open. Make them tell you how they’re going to STOP IT.

It will really be nice if Dems actually do something instead of just huffing about it online, or doing photo shoots in front of locked doors.

They always work so hard for those acronyms.

It’s very, very natural to want to go back to what’s familiar. New and untested is scary and demands effort and resolve. Joe Biden was familiar and look what that got us. Just something to chew on. Happy Wednesday!

And today I’m concerned that we might fight to get back the shit instead of digging deep, thinking hard and dreaming up solid plans to build something not shitty from the ashes.

Though the current everything is pretty far flung from an anarchist’s dream, the list of things being annihilated is pretty long and will continue to grow.

The “EVERYTHING IS SHIT! BURN IT ALL AND DANCE IN THE FLAMES!” mantra never seemed like an actual solution. Even though they were often very correct on their reasoning for the ‘everything is shit’ part.

I’ve been thinking about all the conversations I’ve ever had with anarchists. There aren’t many- they always felt like the angsty podcast bros of my polisci circles.

The world may be burning, but a diss track about me didn’t win 5 Grammys. My haters could never, and I find that comforting.

This one has already circulated a lot over the past few weeks but honestly it's all I've been able to think about lately

OF THE EMPIRE

We will be known as a culture that feared death
and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity
for the few and cared little for the penury of the
many. We will be known as a culture that taught
and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke
little if at all about the quality of life for
people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All
the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a
commodity. And they will say that this structure
was held together politically, which it was, and
they will say also that our politics was no more
than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of
the heart, and that the heart, in those days,
was small, and hard, and full of meanness.

After working in real estate for a year, I put the number at 4 homes. Primary residence, vacation, two rentals. For a lot of reasons, *some* rentals are extremely helpful to a community.

When the aim is getting attention and not sharing information, the teleprompter becomes a hindrance.

There are moments where I find simply existing beautiful. Then I have to go to the bathroom which sucks.

before tiktok,
before bluesky,
before twitter,
before meta,
before it all,
there were sewers.

after all, there will be sewers.

Which is what I’m saying. Zuck and Musk have bent the knee and their platforms reflect that. Congress went all “RAWR TIK TOK BAD!” because it allowed unapproved narratives. The sale was supposed to bring the narrative back in line. Textbook ‘manufacturing consent.’
