Not the point, but if this claymation-looking charm vacuum pulls the (alleged) skin on his face any tighter, his Cro-Magnon skull is going to break through, exposing the arid wasteland between his ears.

I’m currently watching #deathbylightning and really reveling in seeing @bradleywhitford.bsky.social essentially playing Josh Lyman, Political Boyfriend Extraordinaire, 110 years earlier.

I looked at the Pacific Ocean for a long time this weekend, reminding myself that I’m still here, drawing breath.

my favorite robert redford story is that mike nichols considered him for dustin hoffman's part in THE GRADUATE. during their conversation nichols asked redford something like, "have you ever struck out with a girl?" and redford's response was basically, "i don't understand the question"

At this point, I don’t care if you regret your vote. I care if you learned from it and won’t get snowed by a huckster who shares your bigotry in the future.

My one glimmer of hope, assuming any of us survive & acknowledging that the more marginalized you are, the less likely that is, is that historically, people really are so dull that they require their own personal Find Out phase in order to get on board with functioning progressive policies.

I’ve been listening to this book and my main takeaway is that every single moment of levity or jest on this app is an act of defense. The Bad People are only able to take hold when the Good Ones stop showing up.

When yr VA benefits are delayed or yr Nana gets scammed and there’s no one to report it to or you go to a Nat’l park w/ no toilet, remember: there’s no actual gov’t cost savings.
Those workers rightfully collecting unemployment. They’re still getting paid — just not to do their jobs.

About once daily I think about how Elon invented a younger, more handsome imaginary friend to hang out with across multiple platforms and it’s not even the 27th weirdest thing he’s done.

Just realized that the actress who plays Diamond in “Anora” was one of the sex workers that unionized a club in North Hollywood (on the left below). She’s also part of a stripper co-op. Lindsey Normington is a real one

Solidarity With These Strippers Who Dressed as Their Club's OSHA Violations on the Picket Line
Star Garden dancers locked out from the Los Angeles strip club dressed as broken glass, bed bugs, a hole in the stage and more to protest working conditions.

One of my greatest professional regrets is that I and my cohort were unable to bully Chris Rufo into oblivion when he was just a lil Seattle-area shitheel.

I’ve done many silly things in my life. I’ve said some real boneheaded stuff.
Somehow, though, I’ve never stood in front of the entire world and made a gesture universally known to be that of a widely-decried and reviled fascist dictatorship.

My new thing is that I’m going to start calling mediocre white men “DEI hires” and then if someone is like tHaTs nOt WhAt iT mEaNs I can ask them to define it so that they have to admit that “DEI hire” is a short way of saying “I think white dinguses are always the most qualified.”

Our dog, adopted from MX, has strong feelings about her sphere of influence. When we first brought her home, that meant barking at E V E R Y T H I N G. We would reassure her that most people were our neighbors and thus, safe.
