my baby has spent the whole week walking around with her hands behind her back like one of those little old italian men who stand outside construction sites. on occasion she’s let out a sigh so world-weary it makes me consider the possibility of past lives

Every night the same beautiful dream. I am a French inventor, living and working assiduously during La Belle Époch, and my creation is finally complete. The “Aero-Vélo”, the world’s first flying bicycle. I am doing the final adjustments before gravity weds me, irreversibly, to the ground far below.

when you masturbate you’re participating in an unbroken chain stretching back hundreds of thousands of years to the very first humans who stood in awe under the vast mystery of an unpolluted sky and retreated to their caves and hollows to yank pud to horny cave paintings. every stroke a holy mystery

this is the output of a profession that believes that adhesion to raw technicality is the height of reasoned analysis
End-stage legal academia is the Minnesota Law professor who was doing the “just asking questions about birthright citizenship” bit treating *Bill Ackman* as a source of serious authority on the original meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment

I think body slamming one of these DOGE guys through a table when they show up at your little part of the Department of Agriculture that weighs cows would actually have an impact

I'm glad that America is doing real classic end of empire stuff. A king who is visibly losing his mind declaring a war based on a dream he had. Greedy courtiers feuding over access to the treasury. Some looks are timeless.

That was a good speech. Big. Small. Specific (Bourbon) and broad. Good speech. Canada is not generally a country of these kinds of speeches so it’s hard to pull off.

Can’t be said enough: the right in Canada bleated on for years about patriotism & people not being proud of Canada, of wokeness, reconciliation, statue removal, etc as the problem. Then they are first to lay down in front of a foreign strongman who makes them half chub horny. It was all bullshit.
