I write words (only some of them). Repped at Range & Verve, unless you hate me, in which case I'm a robot sent from the present to destroy you.

Another busy day teaching Baby the skills he’ll need to thrive in our lawless autocracy (music theory, self-objectification, passport hygiene, bunker etiquette).

Teaching baby how to be a tough guy so he can grow up strong and protect me from scary things like bugs and spiders.

No, don’t you see, Americans don’t care about accountability or justice or law or human rights or the constitution, they care about kitchen table issues like ignoring genocide and giving sweet prison deals to child sex traffickers (which is also a distraction to talk about).

Parenting’s an iceberg: beautiful, punishing, and even harder underwater. But if you can simply convince your kid that you’re trapped in the iPad and the only way to get you out is by pressing the correct sequence of loops, well, you you just chipped a solid day off that sucker.

Less β€œbeliefs” and more rightwing propaganda so they can deny all but the richest Americans healthcare and let you die painfully whilst they eat canapΓ©s on a yacht.

These two are like peas in a pod (where one of the peas is also eating other, tinier peas to frighten the 2nd pea into serving as a living chair for him).

Interesting contrast to Politico, which once sucked a rightwing dick for money (and hasn’t stopped since).

Did I have a lot to drink last night? Well, let’s just say that by the end, they had to strap me to my chair. Also by the beginning. I am a baby.

Granted, she’s right but what is the civic value of watching idiot fascism lovers getting dunked on on CNN? If this were a real exchange it might be worth sharing, but it’s not, it’s political theater by paid actors, as real as WWE, and ultimately as much in service of enriching the same monsters.

I think that’s the endpoint, yes, though I think there’s a distinction b/t centrists who do it because they think it’s strategically shrewd and those who genuinely don’t have any kind of internal compass and simply determine their politics by triangulation. End result is the same but 2’s creepier.

The great thing about having an evil genius for an uncle is he can actually teach you how to write your own ransom note. And I’m talking at a very young age, when the kidnapping itself isn’t even the hard part. I’m just so proud of both my boys, wherever they are.

In his defense, centrists may as well be dead for how effective they’ve been at fighting the rise of rightwing fascism in this country.

Look, she may be right, but she’s also on Fox News so technically she’s also terribly, terribly wrong.

Not sure how an administration of incipient fascists will take to being referred to as a β€œcavalcade of know-nothing β€˜chutzpoids.’”
