I won’t follow anyone who routinely posts AI slop, no matter what their politics are. If you truly think it’s cool, funny or worthwhile, you need some sort of intervention.

This mural has gone up in Kingston, ostensibly for Christmas but AI has ensured it's actually to celebrate the return of our dark lord Cthulhu

We believe healthcare is a right for every American.
But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies.
Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.

Quisling.
I am actually sad to have to say this since I have admired much about Disney CEO Bob Iger over the years, but what a profoundly quisling move this is by someone who knows better. It’s shameful and he has tarnished his once proud reputation.

Vance: “People on the left are much likelier to defend and celebrate political violence. This is not a both sides problem. If both sides have a problem, then one side has a much bigger and malignant problem and that is the truth.”

The worst crime against the discourse that mainstream outlets like the New York Times have committed is making it sound like people who think certain groups shouldn’t have rights (immigrants, minorities, trans people, women, etc) have “controversial” opinions like it’s pineapple on pizza not bigotry

Look, at some level you cannot have a functioning democracy where both parties presuppose an electorate of selfish, ignorant louts and compete to offer them the best array of goodies, which is more or less what “focus on kitchen table issues” means. You have to activate some kind of civic impulse.

I would wholeheartedly support any political movement whose organizing principle was “Don’t be a dick.”

It’s kinda crazy that “freedom of speech” now means it’s OK to be racist but not OK to say things or take positions the government doesn’t like.

As a longtime fan of Rick Steve’s’ travel guides (and his wonderfully dorky PBS series) I didn’t think I could love this man more…until today.
I’m a hardworking, taxpaying, churchgoing, grandkid-raising American citizen. And if I work all day long and want to go home, smoke a joint & just stare at the fireplace for 3 hours…that’s my civil liberty.
