What a pathetically needy little man.

Are they going to hook up a big red button so he can push it on camera, like an over-stimulated child eager to light the town Christmas tree?

I like the basketball game analogy. The final five minutes can hold all the glory or defeat. The final pages or chapters of a book should hold similar dramatic tension, and the best ones do.

WHEN THERE’S TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Oh wow. Yes, very clever! Waterfall treasure! No one’s ever done that before. Lazy jackass

WHEN THERE’S NO TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Wow. Too stuck-up to put treasure there huh? Too much of a fucking ICONOCLAST for that? Piece of shit. FUCK you

Don't forget to vote, not just to retain these three justices but for all the important races on your ballot. A lot of sheriff's races happening across the Commonwealth, do your research!

Honestly, the music's not doing it for me.

I was hoping for some earnest human truth set to memorable melodies, and I'm sure it's out there, but there's so much crap that the good stuff can be hard to find.

Music moves us and in times like these it can move mountains.

Dwight Eisenhower, the Supreme Commander of Allied Forces and antifa to his very core.

While his troops were liberating the death camps, he anticipated future Holocaust deniers and insisted a record be made.

Man I wish we had leaders like that today.

It's become obvious that the Republican party's whole goal is to burn our flawed but wonderful nation down to the same shithole status of Russia.

Assholes.

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

This is encouraging and probably the best type of action we'll see until the US gets a comprehensive personal data protection policy.

That doesn't look likely to happen soon, so thanks for fighting the good flight CPPA!

For a Halloween party in the nineties I went home after work and cut off all my thick hair, shaved my head, and then went to the costume party profusely apologizing that I didn't have time for a costume to people whose jaws were hitting the floor at the newly bald me.

So, yeah.

Great read in the @404media.co newsletter today about how Trump's Tariffs are really messing with international interlibrary loans.

Postal carriers are refusing to return borrowed books to the US from other countries because they can't calculate the tariffs...of which there are none.

This article about twelve steps taken by authoritarians throughout history is very difficult to read, as I recognize the Republican administration doing all of them today in my country.

Twelve Steps to National Collapse: A Blueprint for How Democracies Die

A historian’s alarm: when these twelve familiar steps appear in a nation, the result is often irreversible—unless citizens rise up and demand otherwise…

But sure, "once we win the midterms we'll go back to 'normal'!".

The 'normal' y'all wish to return to is what brought on this nightmare in the first place.

These are the people getting huge tax cuts — paid for by cuts to health care for millions of Americans.

Every lie Trump and Republicans are telling right now is meant to distract you from this.

Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R., Ind.), a rancher, whipped out his phone to show a message from a poultry farmer in his district who was worried about having enough workers not only to raise and process birds but also to move them from farms to stores.

“I have people they call me. They’re like, ‘I’m not sure if my crew is going to show up for work Monday morning, because if there’s a raid, or something like that, right?” said Stutzman, a conservative in the House Freedom Caucus. Of unauthorized immigrants, he said: “If you try to deport all of them, you’re gonna crash the economy.”

The REPUBLICAN shut down of the government is so they don’t have to release the Epstein files that implicate the deeply unpopular child rapist Trump. That’s all.

The Trump administration has now reported killing a total of 21 people in strikes on suspected drug vessels off the coast of Venezuela, including 4 on Friday.

Questions remain about the legal justification and evidence underpinning the attacks.

U.S. kills 4 alleged drug smugglers near Venezuela, Hegseth says

The U.S. strike near Venezuela is the latest in the Trump administration’s nebulous campaign targeting Latin American drug cartels.
