I am a children’s book art director, and that’s it. That is my entire vibe. Oh, and pop culture stuff. Right right right—I’m also drawn to politics like a mosquito to a bug zapper.

I think if you survive more than one execution attempt by the state, you should get a pass.

God, grant me the courage to change the things I can and incredible new powers to change the things I can't.
Alas, I'm toning down my profanity in every-day conversation (and the classroom). That said, I cannot resist reminding you all of this seasonal tradition. "It's Decorative Gourd Season, Motherfuckers." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/its...

Here’s the problem: these are ALL real problems. Overwhelming, existential, catastrophic, and how-do -you-get-out-of-bed-in-the-morning bleak issues we are facing.

Here’s what I keep thinking about the midterms. We are going to see. Very clearly. Where the people of this country are at. I honestly have no idea. How are the people in each state reacting to what the holy hell is going on from wherever they get their perspective from.

Too many people online seem to conflate left politics with being obnoxious and scathing and Mamdani is such a model for combining a principled ideological vision with civility and grace. You shake hands, you act like a grown up even whether others aren’t. You show up.

It is bananas that this map looks this close two months out. This country has lost its mind. Gone. My biggest fear is it’s going to be close, and they are going to cheat.

This is why we need former GOP operatives in the pro-democracy tent. They are ‘ratfuckers extraordinaire’ (extremely complimentary), now on the side of the rebel alliance. 🔪 @stuartpstevens.bsky.social @rickwilson.bsky.social

Usually reporters get leaks FROM the White House -- but at Fox News, a reporter appears to have leaked TO the White House. That's according to @oliverdarcy.bsky.social's explanation of the sudden Maria Bartiromo erasure by the Murdochs
We should rip his face and name off absolutely everything he’s had the audacity to ruin. Undo all of it. The moment he’s out of office. With one exception. Leave that festering hole where the East Wing used to be exactly as it is. Let it be a reminder of what America almost threw away.

The Milo stuff is the perfect picture of fascism. You think you're protected because you go as big as you can on racism, you spend years harassing the movement's perceived enemies, you even disavow your own sexuality. They'll still throw you in a cage over the tiniest disagreement already forgotten.
