Nothing beats our Christmas tradition of sushi at our neighborhood place. Every Christmas Eve for 20 years. Our take on the feast of the seven fishes. Happy holidays everyone. Love is stronger than hate. Always but especially right now

The dumbest thing these dumdums can do is keep telling us the items we buy every day don’t cost more than they used to. It’s the literal definition of HAVING THE RECEIPTS.

Hey survivors (and the generally overwhelmed). Just a gentle reminder that you don’t need to retraumatize yourself to stay informed. You will get the gist of it all later; you don’t need to rip scabs right now. Be kind to yourself. You are loved

What if every year the person with the most money got sacrificed to the gods? Billionaires would all have to compete to get rid of enough wealth to not be the richest. Imagine what they might fund? And what if there was a prize for whoever gave away their money best? Dreams

You read about huge weeks-long parties in the old days. Carnivals, royal weddings, the ends of wars. People gathered to sing and dance, eat and drink, and lose themselves in the joy of the moment. I think about that when I imagine The Day It Happens.

What if we just changed the rules about money and politics? What if we just rose up and stopped the purchasing of power with untaxed wealth? What could we achieve without the NRA, AIPAC, the fossil fuel companies, the broligarch dollars?

I bet Mamdani got the felon chatting about Elaine’s back in the day. All his amazing RE deals. The Apprentice. The old man thought “what a nice polite young man. He loves listening to my stories, he’s such a great guy”. Now WH staff has to cancel their messaging and divert the troops. Lol

Every New York democrat who is still unwilling to endorse Zohran Mamdani at this late and fucking inevitable date has some serious Islamophobia/youth bias/dependency on AIPAC/lack of imagination/fear of the future/MAGA curiosity/commitment to ugly money/IDK WHAT EVER.
