Read, write, think, re-write, repeat. Celebrate the wins, modestly; own the mistakes, publicly. It’s a dangerous and beautiful world, but none of us get out alive

It was all a big mistake. Grandma was down to the Waffle House betchin’ about Timmy coming home from school with a Trans Am and some little piece named Tammy, and it just went downhill from there

I think it would be really funny to start a Fleetwood Mac cover band and only play music from albums like Kiln House and Bare Trees and nothing from the Nicks/Buckingham era

I’m convinced that two-word solutions to NYT Letterboxed are a secret conversation between combative partners. First there was “vexatious strumpet” followed by “problematic cock,” and now this

We need an economic system that incentivizes quality of goods and services and not executive salaries and stockholder return. Our current tax structure and the failure to control monopoly incentivizes only greed

This regime has simply exposed the corruption that has been there from the start, even as rich, white slave owners penned their encomia to the inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness

It tells you everything you need to know about our culture, that a “working man” is an icon of industry and morality while a “working girl” is a prostitute

Memorial Day: It used to be May 30, but I guess it changed to the last Monday of May without me caring, er, knowing. Because nothing is more honoring to the dead than meeting the needs of corporations

Everyone sing along (to the tune of J. Geils’ Centerfold: My thoughts run wild, Democracy has been defiled, The President is a p3dophile, President is a p3dophile. Na na na-na na na

Someone needs to tell him that making repeated empty threats doesn’t make him look strong; if he wanted to be strong, maybe he should have pushed back on the imbeciles and evil shits that urged him into this mess

After the SEC prosecutes all of the insider traders, we need to strip the lifelong pension and healthcare benefits from any member of Congress who complied with this regime

AI is just the latest and most powerful tool for oligarchs to control the social narrative. How long before “tweaks” turn them all into mechaHitler? Enshitification on meth and steroids

When we rid ourselves of this stain of Trumpstein, we need a complete reset of the political class. The vast majority have become so inured to lying that they can no longer tell, or even recognize, the truth

I’m sick of milquetoast democrats talking about ICE being “overly aggressive” or untrained. Government-sponsored domestic terrorism is a definitional aspect of the fascist state. Our feckless leaders need to call this what it is.

We can afford healthcare; we can afford education; we can afford a living wage; we can afford to repair our infrastructure. What we can’t afford is billionaires. #taxtherich

His cabinet choices are starting to make even more sense; it’s not just that he’s incredibly stupid and didn’t want anyone around who could outshine him, but that he was much less likely to be outed for child SA if he surrounded himself with co-conspirators, including Bondi #IQ47

Mango Moose-a-lini’s Post Office now counts returning a package to sender as a successful “delivery.” It seems they’re so happy when they don’t just lose something that they’re now counting it as a win when they fail without completely disappearing the item

It’s too bad most Americans are ignorant of folklore and mythology, because in many cultures the fox is a sly and deceitful creature, selfish and mendacious, certainly not someone trustworthy to deliver “news,” except in the most self-serving way

I don’t know if he’s certainly the worst POTUS in history, because, like, I didn’t live through Millard Fillmore, but he’s definitely the worst in my time, and Nixon was a paranoid crook, Reagan was demented for both full terms, and baby Bush was a congenital moron

I think we need to ask ourselves how long will Fox “News” protect and promote pedophiles? And what should we do about a media outlet that has become a haven for men who rap* children?

tRump learned blackmail at the feet of his master, Epstein, and now has dirt on almost all in his circle; he owns all the gay Republicans, starting with Mike Johnson and Lindsey Graham; part of why he runs Congress

Unless your grey matter is composed almost entirely of cat feces, how do you not read this whole “pay no attention to the Epstein behind the curtain” clown show as a confession that the current POTUS is a pedophile?
