Listen, we can ENJOY the infighting and/or good things a terrible person says.
But that bitch said, with her whole damn chest, that JEWISH SPACE LASERS caused the fires in California.
So, no, we do not give her a pass or welcome her. We just eat our popcorn for now.

I’ve been looking forward to getting a chance to talk with David for years now, and the time finally arrived at NYCC! (I cannot stand the sound of my own voice so I haven’t listened to this but I’m sure you’ll all tell me if I said something dumb, lol.)
This week on Off Panel, DC Executive Editor @conroyforreal.bsky.social joins the podcast to talk about the return of Vertigo, its first ten books, and its goals.

Satire is not that complicated a concept but it is difficult to execute well. It's generally a way to illustrate human vices for criticism via humor. What it isn't is an AI slop vid of the POTUS pooping on protestors. Because protesting is not a vice or foible but an actual const. right.

"Regardless of what you think of the messages contained therein, No Kings offered visual evidence that huge numbers of people oppose President Trump. This was one vivid expression of a vital truth of our political moment: Most Americans don’t like Trump and don’t like what he’s doing."
No Kings was a huge success. Just look at Trump's response.
Turnout was enormous. There was no violence. And the wannabe king is triggered.

It is a scandal totally unprecedented in history that the Vice President has shared a video depicting the President as king. It’s an obscene violation of every founding American principle.

There's your "real age" and then there's your "Republican age."
For those of you keeping score, 18-22 year-old students calling for an end to slaughter in Gaza are so racist they need to be expelled or deported, but 24-35 year-olds celebrating Hitler, rape, and, um, racism are just kids being kids so chill.
Also, racism is over so no need for Voting Right Act.

Hard to believe Kavanaugh's initial justification for the Kavanaugh Stop was made in good faith. Surely he knew he was describing a world that doesn't exist.
But it's truly infuriating to know he will suffer ZERO consequences, and SCOTUS admit ZERO error, despite such CLEAR evidence of mistake.
