Honest. No hyperbole. I just listened to this cretin a second time. And
if I were a Christian in this American moment, I would be ashamed to ever admit it in public, my faith having been named, debased and dragged through the public sewers every other day.

Sorry.
Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."
A teacher says she's going to make kids write 67 word essays if they say 6–7. If I was a kid I would take that deal, don't threaten me with a good fucking time.

Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.
Petro objected to the US bombing a Columbian fishing vessel that had the emergency beacon on because they were broken down, that we subsequently bombed. One Columbian fisherman survived the attack.

This is the official US response to Petro's comments.
Someone at our No Kings rally in Grand Rapids just made Maduro out to be a victim/hero. I guess this is what having a big tent means.

Never mind the America Later aspect of Trump bailing out Argentina and the U.S. oligarchs who have investments there, the real fun is the libertarian leader of Argentina begging the money. I think libertarians, operating with a political philosophy fit for adolescents, call that "crony capitalism."

Standing and defending the fundamental truths of the Republic means rejecting and opposing loathsome people like Johnson.
Johnson: "We call it the Hate America Rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see Marxists on full display, people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic"
"Narrative follows price."
This is the correct meta read
Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”
AppleTV's Foundation is amazing. AMAZING.

Because when everything is on fire, the thing you want to do as a store owner is build your place out of materials that are highly flammable
Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."
It's my half birthday, so naturally my wife made me a Robert Smith/The Cure cake.
"If you live long enough time can be a weapon."
They were born on the same night, one excellent with spears and one with words."
"How fast your fate runs out."
I'm psyched to be close-ish to retirement, but not close enough.
Discussing this phenomenon w/ a group of profs. Someone morbidly joked, “& northern profs are fleeing the country.” The next person said…”even if we were all willing & able to abandon this place there are not enough jobs for us globally and the U.S. employs a huge # of international scholars too.”

Our Mach E GT is about 5 times cheaper to drive per mile than our Ford Focus was, charging at home and driving the way we do 75% of the time. If we do a road trip and have to use fast DC it sometimes gets as bad as break even with the Focus. Although the focus got more than 30 MPG average IRL.

Once upon a time, the social media accounts of federal agencies weren't a stream of fascist, white nationalist garbage interlaced with whiny culture-war posts. Earlier this year, even!
"Stories end gracefully. Everything else ends in shock and horror, falsely certain of tomorrow."
"The gods made wine to compensate those who can't afford revenge."
"meaning that is sufficiently cryptic becomes indistinguishable from no meaning at all."
I absolutely love this side of you, Ken
