There's a whole crop of young online activists whose main objective is to debate you into a corner and then smirk condescendingly when you can't answer their ludicrous hypotheticals.

These people are not going to save us.

More than a decade ago, I sat down with @marcmaron.bsky.social in his garage to tape something new called a podcast. This time, he came to me to record his last episode.

We talked about the power of conviction, decency in an age of division, and the true story of America.

I hope you're right, but I don't anticipate this breaking MAGA. They'll chalk it up to a bad apple or call it fake news and move onto some other bullshit.

Umm, Kristi Noem shot her own dog and MAGA shrugged.

So bizarre but I had a sense yesterday Diane Keaton was unwell. It hit me out of nowhere. Maybe just because we hadn’t seen her in a little while.

Anyway, she was singular, and that’s the greatest thing you can be as an artist.

It's because they ran on anti-fascism and lost. And health care has been the only winning issue for them for the last 50 years.

Would it be different now that fascism is *here*? I'd like to think yes, but my heart says no.

is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

“Turn around or you’re going to get the dog,” an officer said. “We’re going to put you in cuffs, or you’re going to get the dog.”

The officers struck Miranda from behind, which caused him to collapse before he was taken away in an unmarked van.

People are saying that the fact that Trump is having his second annual physical in a year means something is off with his health, but my hunch is it's actually normal for a president of his age to have two physicals in a year, and his press people just don't know what "annual" means

I, however,
Have such meagre power,

Clutching at a
Moment,

While you control
An hour.

But your hour is
A stone.

My moment is
A flower.

#everynightapoem As ever.
I have done so little
For you.
And you have do little 
For me.
That we have good reason
Never to agree.

Have such meagre power,
Clutching at a 
Moment,
While you control
An hour.

Somebody tell me what to do. Give me a leader to rally behind. Give me a movement to join. Give me a solution that isn't just "elect more Democrats."

What are we supposed to do? I half want to go to Chicago and stand in front of a fascist's bullet, and the other half knows I'd be playing directly into their hands.

This is the dilemma that fascism forces you into, and it gives me sympathy for those who stood by while the Nazis murdered so many.

Yeah. But the border, not the lettering.

I might have a little synesthesia, but all of Paul Thomas Anderson's movies feel neon purple to me.

I do not understand why television stations are not showing live coverage of how there is literally nothing happening in Portland and Chicago. I mean, Peter Jennings, Dan Rather, and Tom Brokaw would each be sitting on a set in those cities telling everyone the white house is lying.
