don't call me big daddy i am working on my weight as best i am able to do so but last week carol brought in those pastries to work and your dinners are so delicious i overeat baby so just call me by my first name when you back that azz up
you a pretty fine woman better make sure you drink enough water, get enough sleep and remember to stretch for longer periods than you used to before engaging in vigorous backing that azz up
-Yet when we came back, late, from the Hyacinth garden,
Your arms full, and your hair wet, I could not
Speak, and my eyes failed, I was neither
Living nor dead, and I knew nothing,
Looking into the heart of light, the silence.

I still think there are some (very few) right-of-center people who have sincere beliefs and stick to them consistently, but it's pretty incredible to see that 90% of right-wing discourse about the sanctity of constitutional rights was completely empty.

Stop saying "Congress" when you mean "Republicans"
Very annoyed at this.
Congress knows how to use the power of the purse to get what it wants, but refuses to do it to, like, make sure that grants get to Head Start.
Just a total warping of priorities, using the power only in these narrow contexts and never to help poor people

I'm developing a kind of cosmopolitan-chauvinism, I guess you could call it anti-feudalism, as a through line in my politics. The peasant-brained and the local landed gentry are the enemy. Sort of funny that this could describe being either rabidly capitalist or communist.

The Constitution says that there must be a Supreme Court with a Chief Justice. Fair enough.
But Congress can set its appellate jurisdiction with simple legislation

I've come around to the position that a self-enforcing code of ethics and a packed Court is the floor. The goal is the wholesale abolition of the Court. We can figure out something better.
This is the exact same Court that just hand waved "what if somebody who committed insurrection as a matter of fact nonetheless held the office of President because Congress didn't pass enabling legislation" and "what if the President orders people to commit murder", by the way

This was, of course, the ancient view of the Roman Republic.
For a modern republic on the one hand, elites must be accountable to The People but on the other hand elites kind of do need the power to say, 'no, we're not war criming today' or 'climate change is real' or 'plagues are bad.'

It's largely lost today because we've allowed constitutional law to become the exclusive preserve of lawyers, but the original idea of written constitutionalism was partly one of public education, publicity, & (proto-)democracy—people should be able to read & come to know the law which binds them

One of the problems with our capitalist overlords these days is they don't care about making money and profit as much as they should.
I mean that mostly sincerely: If they cared more about money than status or authority, we'd be much better off in most respects.

The thing I've never understood about cracking down on adults' access to ADHD medication is the fact that stimulants make people more productive whether they actually have ADHD or not. Shouldn't our capitalist overlords want exactly that?
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM
