I like to do jokes and get very shrill about politics. "The downside to [Twitter] is that you can get fooled into thinking it's creative and feel like you've had a good day after a good tweet." -Albert Brooks

TOO LATE, BITCH! We learned our lesson during the Obama years, and we're not going back. We got a taste of Establishment Dem blood in the primaries, then our candidates drove the discourse in a landslide, and now we're thirsty for more. Either fight or get clowned on and primaried, you choads.

"The American people don't want us to get even; they want us to get things done on their behalf." House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who is now poised to become the next House Speaker, says that Democrats will focus on affordability concerns and not retribution after their midterm wins.

Was funny to watch brands, media properties, & institutions think fascist Twitter culture was permanently ascendant & popular on the basis of the 2024 election. “We made Yogi Bear brag about having a ‘more based + higher-IQ physiognomy than the average bear’ & people booed! How could this happen?!?”

I think there's been a vibe shift over the last week, after Trump and Republicans got even weirder and more desperate and the backlash against the Ramaswamy ad really took off. I'm feeling more hopeful, if you're curious (which of course I wouldn't really expect anyone to be).

But we would walk out of that movie with the same assurance and clarity as the people leaving the theater at the end of DIGGER. Which is revealed to be not a lot of clarity. Its hard to articulate but I feel like the film gives us a glimpse of ourselves as extras in an apocalyptic period piece

talking with "good faith" conservatives about policy is incredibly frustrating because you eventually figure out that the basis for their beliefs is a combination of easily disprovable factual assertions that act as window dressing for unshakable reactionary gut feelings

“Muscular Christianity” means that when when you’re glazing the serial predator president who deports refugee children, executes fishermen, and builds idols to himself, you TYPE REALLY HARD.
