FWIW I think the only thing the Democrats need to become a permanent governing majority is to feed their entire consultant class into a wood chipper.

We'll be fighting in my pants

I know we're all pretty strapped right now, but @yamyamyam.bsky.social is a dear friend, and Ladybug is one of those incredibly sweet, loving, pet rock-type cats who shouldn't be in pain just because her human's financial situation has changed: www.gofundme.com/f/send-ladyb...

Halloween Party in college in NYC in the 90s. Bought round $5 sunglasses from a street vendor and popped the lenses out, wore a sleeveless sweater, and put a handkerchief in my head. Violá. Monty Python Gumby. 75% of attendees said, "Get away you freak." The other 25% said I was fucking brilliant.

The last four words are SO IMPORTANT!

That's 350 for Mika! Pretty solid career, no?

My son, Charles the Bellend

This is isn't necessarily pandering. It may just be an old lady who thinks "the transgender agenda" is a bridge too far. It's understandable, but it's not *excusable*. Making other people's lives harder because of your own discomfort is contemptible. With any luck we won't need Marcy Kaptur's seat.

Great. How in the name of the Lord am I gonna regift *this?*

Jesus Christ. Show OLD YELLER to every single one of these idiots, over and over, until they fucking understand.

Aside from the obvious concerns, he's a billionaire's kid. Why should he need *anyone* to "bankroll" his wedding?

Spectacular Spider-Man. It was pretty spectacular too, but it died of rights issues before its time.

On the long list of things to be infuriated about please keep near the top: Is Mitch McConnell alive or dead?

light the beacon

I don't think it's too much to ask that Ben Gvir at least answers in the ICC for his gleeful genocidal malice.

So Trump appeasing North Korea isn't a front page story in the New York Times? I mean, it's not like he's been on a jag of calling Democrats Communists or anything.

Hi, I'm My Own Idiocy. Oh my, a lot of us have the same name.

The Affair of the Rockerbye Baby, just because no one else will say it. I don't remember who it's by.

While this new piece circulates: I’ve dipped below my alert threshold for paid subscribers and need to rally some support. I’m hoping to add eight new paid subscribers this month. Paid subscribers keep the newsletter free for everyone. If you can become one, I’d be grateful. organizingmythoughts.org

If I could only tell my teenaged self, it would be one thing, "Dude! You are *really* good-looking. Leverage that." Seriously, I always thought I was a hideous troll back then, but now that I have aged into approximate trollness, I wish I'd realized how handsome I was back then."

Marvin the Paranoid Android. "Here I am, brain the size of a planet...."

I started writing a joke about Elpenor but I decided no one would fall for it.

The Who - "The Real Me"

"verify your age" Names the MacMillan-series reading textbooks we had in elementary school.

I have a cunning plan.

Doug Piranha. ("He used sarcasm..."

ICE fatally shot a man in Houston yesterday. Agents arrested a nun on her way to mass. An Afghan who helped the U.S. military died in ICE detention, one of at least 21 people to die in detention this year. The headlines have moved on, but Trump is still waging his reign of terror.

The *second* worst part of this fiasco is it sucking all the joy out of not sharing a planet with Mitch McConnell anymore. I mean by the time we find out he's already been dead for three weeks, it's gonna be like eating stale birthday cake.

Reposting this because I think it's smart. I'm so rarely right that I have to celebrate myself when I am.

I need people to point out good new rock and roll (any genre) to me. I know it's out there, but I don't feel like doing the work.

Torn between knowing this is what Drury has wanted to do since Day One and knowing the Kypper may be an entertaining guy, but as an "insider" he couldn't tell his ass from his elbow with a compass and full color illustrations.

Yay! We're finally fucking rid of him.

Looks like Croz was right all along. Croz could be an asshole sometimes, but he could clock a phony from a mile away.

This is such a good point. It makes me sad that so many of my fellows value only the lives of U.S. citizens. We all matter (except a select few who have punched their ticket out of the human race).

By definition, every picture of the Missy-cat is the best picture, but here's a nice one.

A different coffee.

I'll take "Fuck This Alcoholic Nazi Scumbag" for $2,000, please.

I feel about folks like this the way I feel about Never Trumpers. You're welcome aboard the anti-AI train, but the minute you try to steer, off you go.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Keir Starmer and the "cat flap in an elephant house" leadership style.

I have the feeling that at least some of this silliness is burnout. He's this generation's David Duval. He made himself completely over, dedicated every waking moment to winning at golf, had a generational run of 18 months to 2 years, and was already fasing before he ran for the LIV money.

TFW you started your crazy Daria-Harry Potter-multi-other fandom crackfic so long ago that the HP author was still one of the good guys, and now you're trying to finish the fucking thing and mad at TERF lady all over again for throwing away all that goodwill just to persecute people.
