Establishment politicians hate Mamdani because they’ve tried nothing and it didn’t work. He tries lots of things, some work better than others. Then he learns from what worked and tries more stuff. He’s no Commie, he’s an FDR Democrat. We want to try.

Advise and consent my ass! Feckless coward republicans betray all of us every day. May they be followed everywhere by their bottomless shame and never eat a spit-free meal again.
I wish the word “feckless” occurred to me fewer times a day. I mean, it’s an objectively great word, but I just wish I didn’t mutter it to myself so often.
Hey now! Happy Jerry’s birthday. Now begins the Days Between. Listen to the music that makes you happy. Remember, ain’t nothin’ for the head like the good ol’ Grateful Dead.
When do Republican senators reach the level of mortification required for them to wake up and smell the omnishamble?
Republicans think they can blame Biden for their botched COVID response in 2020 because that was the year Biden was elected. But there were 365 days in 2020 and That Fucking Guy was president for all of them.
Not only am I having trouble failing upward, I can’t even seem to manage failing downward.
If I ever watched 60 Minutes before it would be more satisfying to not watch it now.
And here we go again. Dark as night in New York, massive storms, record rainfall expected. Flooding and all that. Summer ‘26 sucks.
And once again, the “it could happen today” sparkling wine becomes the “fuck, when will it finally happen” sparkling wine. And I’ll have to replenish the supply. Again. This cursed timeline…
Yesterday me made some really delicious food that today me is enjoying with no cooking and no effort. Thanks yesterday me, you did good.
I don’t actually want to make a squillion dollars, ever. I’m afraid of that kind of money. What if it turned me into a Musk or a Rowling, or god forbid a Trump. I don’t ever want to be like that.
Letting McConnell stay undead is good strategy. Sure we want to see Beshear act on behalf of truth, but right now the Rs are down a key Senate vote and every day the farce continues they become more ridiculous. For all to see. Not gonna get a D in KY, so the undead is a great choice. Very Sun Tzu.
I don’t about you guys but I LOVE reading a book that requires me to look up words I don’t know yet. Bonus learning with my plot and characters. Books Rule!
Republican Senators are among the most disgraceful elected Americans in our history.
I understand the hesitation to provide an edit button because people can go back and change meaning and content after discourse starts. But what if it was time-limited? Like the edit button is “open” for an hour after posting, so you don’t have to post an immediate follow-up aargh *I know, I see it*
We have reached a point in the Groundhog Day of this regime where the only way to tell if a WH video clip or photo featuring the dude in the red tie is old or new is by counting the number of weird gold glue-on gizmos. Look at the Oval Office from 6 months or a year ago and you’ll see what I mean.
Republicans keep carrying on as if we don’t all have eyeballs. Like we aren’t seeing the reality created by their fecklessness. We all gotta eat man. We know what we know.
If anybody on earth is gonna turn me gay it’s Hannah fucking Waddigham. I hope it works.
I mean I don’t know, but Hannah Waddington and Octavia Spencer deserve my attention. Hope their show is good. I’m in.
The only thing I liked about that boring game was the muppets. Add muppets=worth watching. No muppets, why should I care?
In the end I’m just so glad that people from all over the world got to see what’s real and great about America and its people. The ranch dressing of it all. The fact that the creepy weirdos in charge never managed to ruin it #worldcup
Watched the World Cup Final at my local bar. Game was kinda boring ngl. Chatted with a guy who seemed very interested in me. Which I knew because dude kept on touching me. Just touching me like it was okay to do that. IDK maybe I should just stay home.
SPAIN! but also that game was boring af. Just boring. But I’ll take the win I guess.
New summer goal unlocked. Stare in awe at Rosy-fingered Dawn over the Dark-Wine Sea. Yeah. That would cure me.
