Nixon is what happens when you’re inherently evil but also raised as a Quaker.
i think we often neglect the degree to which nixon’s resignation was a result of him having a mental breakdown over the mounting stress of Watergate and other humiliations

he was joking about a gun in his desk. he was talking to Kennedy’s portrait. he was drunk dialing DC personalities at 2:00 AM

One of the important aspects of reclaiming words is the change in impact for younger generations. For instance I once called myself Baby Jane Cuntflaps on twitter in 2014 and created a national incident, whereas now, names like Jane are much more accepted.

Didn’t get great pics bc I can’t bike with one hand but the NYC ride for Alex Pretti was huge—this is the back! My favorite part was biking through another protest and all of us cheering for each other

Talking with a friend about which day is going to be more fun here: when the day finally comes for Trump or Elon.

Trump's day has a higher floor for how fun it'll be here, Elon has the higher ceiling and it really depends on how the latter goes.

True story: the one time I ate at The Ivy was in 2008 and I got knocked over in a papparazi scrum as they all rushed the door for someone famous. An ENORMOUS photographer scooped me up and said in the strongest Scouse accent I've ever heard: "sorry love, you got pap smeared"
and i hope they had a lovely time!!!

Jailed for refusing to abide by FDR's Exec Order 9066, he took his case against internment all the way to the Supreme Court - and lost. Remember him on Korematsu Day, January 30th. 1/

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

STEPHEN MILLER: so you've gone through all of these files and made sure there's nothing incriminatory about Trump or his friends and associates, right

The world should feel dangerous and consequential to your players. Easy and fun way to do that is a TPK in session one. Players will learn your world is dangerous, and it'll be too early for them to be attached to the characters they get to replace.

I simply can't fathom a society or government that sits on all this information for years without investigating, arresting, and putting every person implicated in those files on trial. A system that protects that kind of evil for any reason is a system that should be dismantled.

every epstein commentary is these immensely rich/powerful/influential people raving about what a genius epstein was, and every one of his emails is just “helo, my name jomfrie”
