My hot take is that this holiday is great and gratitude fucking rules. The shittiest people in the world want you to feel despair and they don’t know shit about feeling thankful. Nurture this superpower, bring goodness out into the light, and shame the pricks like the devils they are.

The shooting of National Guard members in Washington, DC today is a horrible tragedy. We must all condemn this kind of unacceptable violence.
MK and I are praying for the victims, their families, and all of our service members who sign up to serve our country.

Disgusted to hear of the targeted shooting of National Guard members in DC today. All Americans should unite in condemning and rejecting this violence. Sending prayers to these victims and their families, and thankful to the responders who acted so quickly.

Too many people see pirating as a form of protest. And it's not. At all. Boycotting is a form of protest. If I ran up in Target and started stealing things, that's not sending a message about Target's practices.
Stop making up reasons why pirating comics is good. It’s not good. Spend a few dollars and buy a book. Quit being a fuckin parasite

I figure Ken Burns has one, maybe two big documentary series in him before he fully retires. What do you think they should be? My votes include Football, Hip-Hop, World War 1, Reconstruction (though Skip Gates did this one well), Iraq/Afghanistan, 19th Century Expansionism.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

This would be appalling in any context and for any victim, but the fact that they're invading a commercial kitchen to drag someone off who came here to work their ass over a hot stove to make native-born restaurant-goers a little more comfortable and well off really shows how negative sum this is

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Trump is so obviously happy to actually be spending time with a cool dude instead of the vile shit-nosed flunkies that are constantly squirming between his toes. It must be incredibly refreshing to breathe even one lungful of air that doesn't have the fetid taste of Stephen Miller thick upon it.
