And now back to my full time job, texting the word "stop" to every living Democrat.

MLB is like the Democratic Party in that they’re deeply concerned about popularity and all their actions seem to be aimed at capturing some mythical person who has never become a baseball fan and will probably never become a baseball fan meanwhile baseball fans are yelling PLEASE JUST PLAY BASEBALL

every single financial institution would benefit from hiring exactly one (1) progressive to walk around the office all day long going “are you fucking stupid?” to anyone within ear shot

I'm going to fix Bluesky's user growth issues. I'm going to start posting about which MLB players have "George Lucas-ass names" again. Sorry about that.

the expectation that the people whose rights you consider negotiable should still vote for you because you don't want to immiserate them quite as much is contemptible. it makes you wholly untrustworthy because you're clearly willing to hurt them more than your opening position. fuck you.

a lot of Democratic officials have asked the protesters to be careful to not "give Trump what he wants" and I think it's fair to ask them to do likewise

A rotten disease of the American liberal mind is the desire to seem reasonable to an imaginary political referee they have invented for the purposes of their own absolution. You would be better off genuflecting to the original imaginary referee. And come away with better political instincts to boot.

if i were someone regularly appearing on ESPN from a home setup, i would: 1) commission good fakes of the art stolen from the Gardner museum in 1990 2) exclusively decorate my backdrop with those fakes 3) wait until the internet noticed this 4) never offer public comment

just remembered this 1985 photo (from a SEVA benefit) of weir with jonathan richman, who looks like he's trying to figure out how he ended up onstage with a grateful dead. incidentally, weir is singing "ripple," i think maybe the first time he sang a garcia/hunter song outside the dead.

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans. Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar? www.newyorker.com/culture/crit...
