i want to remind people that the free press does not publish "journalism" in the way that someone who works in an actual newsroom would understand it

The thing that sends me into a white-hot rage most of all is how much the Trump regime is just a game to so many of these people

well that’s fucking horrible

a fascist president, a corrupt president, a vindictive president, a senile president we might endure — but a pelagian president?

The thoughts of an economic depression are depressing

Trying to imagine the reactions from communists if Trump tried to enforce something like this. It’s an obvious dictatorship.

the reasons I don't trust communism in practice is because it implies that through purges and rules you can create a state that only serves the people and not itself, which flies in the face of the entirety of human history

if you lack any political agency outside a party, which is also a state backed the military, what mental gymnastics are you performing to believe that makes you freer than multi-party democracy does

it just takes a particular kind of brain utterly boiled by campism to describe a system where 'anyone can run...if they join the party, are approved by the party, and voted on by the party' as more democratic than competitive bourgeois democracy in practice.

not unrelated, a bunch of communists and red triangle emojis are currently crashing out over Zohran describing Miguel Diaz-Canel and Maduro as 'dictators' who prevent free elections, imprison political opponents, and suppress the free press

Best wishes to your family.

The irony of this was too grand to keep to myself.

Look, I appreciate this. TV needs more of this. Let’s have fun again. Seriously things are so bad in the industry and everywhere. Let’s all turn on stuff at night together and go “that was insane” and then surprise there are 20 more episodes and the characters don’t remember being in orbit.

Incredibly buff Wallace voice “Smashing Machine, Gromit.“

I wonder how much they pay the guy.

“We don’t think the way fraudsters think” is a very funny thing for a guy who made his money on daytime TV to say

It’s so funny that “you’re overreacting to Trump” is/was a thing that people who soldier themselves serious said. Assume that he drops out of the primary in 2015: I literally cannot think of a single way in which the country is not better off, no matter which of the possible paths things go down

Like you just take the drinking of it and it’s incredibly versatile, really the base of so many other drinks, but then you add bathing? Now you’re looking at a hell of a product

That would be fascinating. Which films are you thinking of?

Macron now his July election has backfired

Also even if there is Top Secret material justifying a ban, it’s very difficult I think to argue that retired GPs and Quaker students holding up a cardboard sign are party to that information or responsible for it

Good evening. "Jerry Chen" was a 27-month sociological experiment studying Poster's Madness conducted by Quinnipiac University. We are now complete with our study; thank you for your time.

Most recent text message from Trump.

you know things are bad when even Matty is like "what"
