A large part of my politics is the idea that cities are fundamentally good, worthy of investment, and the people in them just as important as anyone else.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."
Experts aren't always right. That's why I put my faith in morons who are never right

Listen up, fucknuts. Everyone deserves healthcare, clean water, food, shelter, the right to free expression and bodily autonomy.
The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.

the ideal academic life is being an eccentric Victorian lord. Invent a stamp licking machine at 22. Get elected to the Royal Academy for counting the beetles on your estate. Die in an arsenic explosion. The perfect life.
Oh but when I get up on the plane to perform my original musical about the Teapot Dome scandal I get tazed by sky marshals.

It’s fine to not like the Odyssey but it’s delusional to deny that it’s widely popular and well-liked.

CRT. DEI. Woke. Communism. They keep swapping out the buzzwords every time people stop being scared of the last one.
So glad Elon built the Hyperloop. I’m riding it right now.
NEW from me: Transportation officials have removed a growing list of safety measures that reference bikes from federal websites. The push began after DOT Secretary Duffy’s social media post vowing to end funding for “DEI bike lanes” earlier this month. www.npr.org/2026/07/23/n...

Science is not truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.
The Odyssey would be more accurate if they had British accents
From a fiscal conservative standpoint, Pride celebrations are great for cities. They generate tourism, jobs and tax revenue for a comparatively small investment in things like public safety and port-a-potties. Cities that ban Pride celebrations are missing out.
one of the reasons i prefer using the terms “trans healthcare” or “trans medicine” is that “gender affirming care” opens up the field for these facile comparisons with cis people’s preferential modifications. it’s not a preference for me, it’s lifesaving healthcare
