It’s going to be extremely funny when actuarial tables catch up to him and Republicans clutch their pearls about everyone celebrating and making jokes. It will be the most hollow outrage ever. An endless stream of HOW DARE YOU from people who have spent a decade being as awful as possible.

Stealing from poor children is next level evil. When people tell me I will need to learn to forgive Republicans I think of things like this.

"the money, which was supposed to be used to provide health insurance for poor children, was instead hastily passed through multiple organizations before eventually landing in the bank accounts of two political action committees and the Republican Party of Florida." www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/g...

If Republicans keep ignoring the law, people will seek solutions outside the law and that isn’t good for anyone.

JUST IN: Federal judge denies Gov. Walz effort to force Gov. Abbott to extradite an ICE agent charged for shooting a man through a closed door. Abbott has not yet denied the extradition and the law allows him time to vet it, the judge rules. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Laid his eggs and returned to the sea.

Are we ever going to find out what happened to mitch McConnell

I want my whole timeline to turn into nothing but the crab dance.

Roger (6’5”)@iamtherog.com · 15h ago

Alright let’s do this again: What would be the funniest way to find out “IT” happened? I’m gonna go with Pop Crave.

Fucking hell.

Actor Tim Curry has died at 80, TMZ reports

My father taught me that point of life is to learn new things, have new experiences, meet new people, and above all else help others where you can. Dolly embodied all those things on a grand scale, but helping is important no matter how big or small the action. Do what you can, folks.

Is it bad for the soul to wish harm on another person? Yes, absolutely. It’s corrosive. Am I going to stop doing it? lol no.

Scottsdale spent like $6.5 million on a dog park (this is one of several enclosures). It’s lovely but I dunno about our priorities. I guess it’s a third place at least.

I would discuss my urethra with Roy.

After all these years I finally found my people

“It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the HHS secretary sees deaths from outbreaks of diseases we had beaten or contained, like measles and cyclosporiasis, as a form of social hygiene that kills off the weak and susceptible while safeguarding the strong from the nefarious,”

For @thebulwark.com, I wrote about RFK, the Todd Haynes movie Safe, and my own experiences as an OCD sufferer www.thebulwark.com/p/rfk-jr-tox...

I bought an XL shirt last night. It’s a little loose on me. When I started getting healthier a 6XL barely fit me. I have a lot more work to do (strength training, skin removal, etc), but holy shit I can’t believe how far I’ve come.

It’s hard to cope with the reality of being surrounded by people who at best ignore things like this, and at worst actively cheer it. Countless Americans who enjoy cruelty for the sake of cruelty. Even when it traumatizes children.

Using a children’s book to make fun of children being detained, neglected and isolated from their parents is next level fucked up

This motherfucker really out there looking like a Country Bear Jamboree robot wearing an ill-fitting Halloween costume.

get a load of the state of the back of Trump's right hand. His injured skin is so discolored it's almost glowing.

US/Canada Trade War is one of those absurd headlines that pops up during a Robocop media break.

As soon as your identity becomes “My generation was so much tougher than you stinking kids” it’s time to log off and move into an urn.

Facing consequences for promoting race “science” is not a question of academic freedom and you don’t have to take anyone seriously pretending that it is. It’s just racism. Categorize people playing devil’s advocate for it accordingly.

I’m not replying to a lot of mentions yet, I’m sorry, it’s a little overwhelming going from so little socialization to a bunch of messages. It’s good for me though! I will get better at it with time, but I promise I’m not ignoring anyone. By way of apology here’s Frida disturbed I’m taking a bath.

I was in Rio Grande do Sul in June. We were there to see my girlfriend’s ailing grandmother, so there wasn’t much sightseeing, but we did get a chance to visit Praia da Guarita in Torres. Gorgeous part of the world.

Locking up the Freedom 250 signs behind cattle fencing has to be one of the great metaphors of our time.

One of my hobbies is reading comments on Instagram from morons trying to explain the Bible to the Pope.

I overheard a cashier say “I’m sorry for your loss. And good luck with your pants.” I will be thinking about that for a few days.

I think I’ve watched DS9’s Duet more than any single episode of any show. You could stage this with a spotlight and two chairs and it would be equally engaging. Strip it all away and it’s the moral exploration and the interplay between Yulin and Visitor that matter. The rest is just dressing.

Last November I met William Shatner briefly. I called him sir. He looked up at me extremely slowly and said: “You’re a…large man. I should call you sir.” A delight. I hate this photo of me, and I’ve lost about 40lbs since then, but I am over being afraid of being seen.

I probably made some Bad Posts™ in the time leading up to my hiatus. I was upset most of the time. I’m not gonna go clean them up but I’m also not gonna go out of my way to defend them. If you show me something dumb I posted I will agree with you that it was dumb. Gonna try to be less dumb.

Pulling up a chorus from HMS Pinefore? Two clicks. Changing course away from a star? Five clicks minimum. Star Fleet needs to reassess LCARS usability priorities.

For those asking yes Frida is still doing Frida things.

is everything still stupid

They really are the Nazi party reborn

As Vatican mourned Pope Francis, US cons Catholics, led by Napa Inst, tried to influence next election by hosting events in Rome, offering $1B in donations for electing favorable pope Their efforts, incl past attempts like the 2018 “Red Hat Report” targeting progressive cardinals, may have backfired

Typical BS from Sollender: 1. They weren’t there to protest, they were there to exercise oversight then do a presser w Mayor Baraka about the facility operating in conflict with Newark & NJ laws 2. “Democrats have argued” is weasel-y bullshit. They haven’t “argued” it, they’re stating clear facts
