For cause and comrades, mcpherson’s book on the soldiers’ letters

There is a filth in you only the devil himself could have supplied

It’s that time of year for my 2010 joke.

The sign my lovely wife made and brings to #NoKings protests fires me up every time I see it. #protests #bluewave #gotv #savedemocracy #vote

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

The only people I’m OBLIGATED to associate with is my lawfully wedded spouse and my (minor) kids. Everyone else is on an “I feel like dealing with you” basis.

The idea that the US is the most innovative/advanced country on earth is so funny. Our most up-to-date train technology is from 75 years ago. Our cars use an engine design from the 1800s. Most major city sewer systems have 100+ year old pipes. The government runs on 25 year old software.

feels like at least part of what is happening is that a lot of people want politics to solve the "my life feels empty" problem and the populist right is directly appealing to them

ALOT of people only tolerate their parents because they still NEED them. And some parents are perfectly fine with their connection to their children being completely transactional.

Almost like economics wasn't why they don't like democrats

Most White Women do not want to lose their "advantage" of being a white woman. Who wants to give up their lifestyle of being America's priority in order to make others feel welcome? These women will stay with their cheating ass husbands because their YSL/LV purchases will keep them warm at night.

From the people who told you that straight white male privilege doesn’t exist…

My "manhood" is not tied to me being dangerous to people around me. I don't operate in fear like that. If anything I'm trying to learn to be empathetic, a whole and complete human.

This attempt to construct a narrative of persecution around being a white guy in America is at base, an expression of profound jealousy and insecurity towards people who have to overcome challenges they will never face

Beef. Gas guzzling. Giant houses. Whiskey. Beer. Being a MAGA man is about conspicuous consumption — especially if it's anti-environmental. But Trump has made these totems of masculinity too expensive. You can't afford to drive your oversized pickup around. www.salon.com/2026/08/28/t...

The Christians have spent the last two weeks protecting a man that broke his daughters collar bone and threw boiling water on his wife

In 18 months the Christians have blown up children at a school in Iran Canceled hiv/aids treatments in Africa Kicked millions off snap Put 300 thousand black women out of work Food gas and housing remain unaffordable If these are your Christians I’m with the Muslim guy

They tried to throw an Olympian, who trained and competed for his country, in prison to cover for the wannabe king who destroyed a national treasure with a corrupt deal with one of his cronies. This is why you don’t tell them “welcome home” or vote for their nominees or vote to fund their govt.

It’s that time of year again: here are some of the books I’ve enjoyed this summer. If you’ve read any good ones, let me know!

We can verify the daily physical status of a specific Seattle raccoon but apparently we're completely unable to determine whether a United States Senator is alive or dead.

To clarify. Clearly this is AI. I’m referring to the original photo with him and his wife.

We really gotta break this mindset of considering elected officials allies or rulers. They're employees, hired to do a job. That's it. Voters have every right to review, critique and demand better of them at any given moment.

"Don't let anyone ruin your day. It's your day! Ruin it yourself." Motivational message I snapped a while back on a toilet door at Universität Mainz.

This is what I've been trying to tell the Christians... if you are having a good time... and your neighbor is having a bad time... you are a bad Christian ... i don't make the rules... but i know the rules
