My pitch for a Star Wars Movie: a stormtrooper is ejected into space in battle, and flies on in the void, doomed to die, and questioning his life had any value, as he considers removing his helmet to hasten death. He has flashbacks of growing up among the troop, the turning of his sweet into kill.

When the lights change at night, and i sit at a red light alone, and no one else is driving, I squint and watch for ghosts. The echo of the dead drive these roads, where the lights holding us still is their last memorial. There they go. Green. yellow. Dead. #weirdlit

Okay, I can stare at the internet all day in a rage, or I can go to church, hit the gym, try to read a book that isn't for a 5-8 year old, work on this Lego set I got for my birthday that's huge and will take forever. So. Maybe g'bye for now. I'll come back when the s*** is a bit more settled.

This is not a radical position. This is a very moderate position. This is a conservative position.
That’s how far gone the Dem and GOP leadership are

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

Also, can anyone explain to me how men drenched in Cheeto dust Diet Coke and buckets of KFC are still staggering around alive in high stress jobs at their ages and not just… dying. Like if I tried their normal diet for a month, I think I would be dead. Quickly.

Every news outlet that broadcasts Trump officials telling barefaced lies about the ICE killing in Minneapolis should display the video of the shooting on a continuous loop concurrently with the officials’ claims.

The writers of this year are like way on the nose and need to step it back a bit. I mean the poor woman murdered in the street by the fascist wannabe dictator stooges is literally named GOOD. What the hell more of a sign from heaven do the MAGA losers need? This is just Right There. My god.

Fire= fixed income retire early
Ice=immigration and custom enforcement
In one, people willfully check out of the economy and just let the vampire squid of finance feed them spilled blood and ink from other labors. The other arrests and shoots the working class.
Either can end the world.

“Everyone wants a village people. Nobody wants to be the village people.” this is how he explained his regalia as a Native American warrior on the metro. He was right. I wanted village people all around me, but I couldn’t imagine putting on the clothes, learning the choreography... #weirdlit

I have never understood Kal-El’s father more than now. I could just put my kid and my dog into a space pod and shoot them to safety and peace across the universe, in a world where they will be like gods, and never know this failing world.

Don't let this Jan 6th point get lost:
Jack Smith testified to Congress he had "proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election."
In other words, he could prove in court that Trump attempted a coup.
