I should probably post something so people know I'm alive: FTP, all presidents are war criminals, and I got a new puppy and I named him after soy sauce.

Remember—Billionaire philanthropy is PR
$6.25B is a lot of money. It’s also only 4.1% of the $152B Michael Dell has hoarded. If Dell paid the 37% tax rate on the wealthy he'd pay $56.25B—and still have nearly $100B, more than he'd ever need

I have to stay at work until 8 p.m. so I'm getting day drunk at a Mexican restaurant. I walked here for a reason.

Find something to love the way Liberals love rehabbing fascist republican war criminals
Watching the funeral of VP Dick Cheney and listening to his daughter, Congresswoman Liz Cheney, speak. One can only hope that this GOP will find its democratic compass again and reject all things fascist. I didn’t always agree with VP Cheney BUT he was antifa. He always put country over party.RIP🙏

Big politics knower asserts Democrats are "dovish" on war while also joking about the systematic murder of thousands of civilians via drone strikes. How can you even satirize this?
It’s kind of funny when you write a major chunk of your dissertation and your first book on drone strikes — doing fieldwork in Pakistan (and nearly Yemen too) — and people are like “betcha didn't know about those bad drone strikes in Yemen, huh?”
And who could forget those dovish drone-striked weddings? Classic peaceful behavior.

You can love someone you love even if you don't love yourself🏳️⚧️
But if you love yourself, you can love both yourself and the person you love. Your love becomes twofold.
So take care of yourself.
Your soul is beautiful.

Agent Lairmore is done with his testimony. Prosecution asked further about the condiments and he said there was mustard on his uniform and an onion hanging on his radio antenna. Don’t think defense was going for a pun when she called him a “seasoned officer,” but you never know…

I love horror and I love stop motion animation. Definitely worth a watch! But:
1. Turn on closed captioning.
2. Be aware there is a moment of child abuse.

Removed the name because I'm not looking to start a fight, but this pisses me off so much. "Why can't indigenous people be as moral as me, a white person living on stolen land." Absolutely incredible.
