Bill is right!

If the blanket pardon gets the pipe bomber off, Trump will add pardoning a pipe bomber domestic terrorist to a list of pardons that includes a major Honduran drug trafficker and a congressmen who accepted bribes from Azerbaijan

No President in my lifetime has hated America more

The person in DC for the Stop the Steal rally on January 6th who wanted to commit an act of terror was a Trump supporter?!?

One of those artistic “coincidences” where I went into both of these blind this week and they ended up complimenting each other

“Memory… often strikes me as a kind of a dumbness. It makes one's head heavy and giddy, as if one were not looking back down the receding perspectives of time but rather down from a great height, from one of those towers whose tops are lost to view in the clouds.”

W.G. Sebald, The Emigrants

Still from the film Sans Soleil

“Legends are born out of the need to decipher the indecipherable. Memories must make do with their delirium, with their drift. A moment stopped would burn like a frame of film blocked before the furnace of the projector. Madness protects, as fever does.”

Sans Soleil (Marker, 1983)

It’s hard for writers to make it, so it’s good to see that she landed a nice gig with the government:

The same people who complain about “toxic empathy” also believe that we need to listen to and take seriously the “very real” concerns of these younger men (i.e. “they’re not telling us the truth about the Holocaust”)

You aren’t going to believe this. But there’s an important distinction between detaining someone as a law enforcement action in an interdiction and summarily killing them.

Let’s see if him saying “I think affordability is the greatest con job” changes their mind

He just got through watching National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, didn’t he?…

This reminds me of when my Georgia Bulldogs persecuted some Christians:

Scrolling through my feed and seeing the Noah and PEG posts (Man was not meant to read such things in quick succession!):

Whoever let this get by is clearly a Brechtian.

They made the illusion of the cathartic release visible, which distances the audience from empathy & cultivates astonishment at the capitalistic conditions of Mad Men (an astonishment that moves the audience to political action once the show is over).

Behn was leading, often solidly, when the votes started coming in from the precincts, in almost all instances Republican run & controlled. Then, one by one, they started to magically disappear as surprise ballot dumps were counted. VERY STRANGE

#StopTheSteal

If God created war so that Americans would learn geography, he created special elections so that Americans would learn about rural counties.

Kornacki Time!

Even with just wars, Augustine says, “If anyone either endures or thinks of them without mental pain, his is a more miserable plight still, for he thinks himself happy because he has lost all human feeling.” If this is the case with just war, how much more inhuman is Megyn Kelly’s glee over this?

Adm Bradley is going to wish he listened to the “don’t follow illegal orders” video

@JoeyMannarino Follow Here for New Media Week at the Pentagon! They've given me a Press Pass here at the Department of War! Let the fun begin!

@JoeyMannarinoUS I'm a TRUE Black American woman and l've been Black all my life. I was born Black and I will die Black. My mommy Black. My daddy Black. I will NEVER cast a ballot for that Kamala Harris woman as long as I live! Trump all the way, all day every day!

Hegseth Proves Fake News Media Wrong By Giving Media Access to POC Voices!

Checkmate Libs.

“Use it in such a way that if it disappeared tomorrow, you would still know how to think, how to create, how to act on your own, how to form authentic friendships.”

@python_dao Just realized @pizzintwatch built an entire world map for @Polymarket Zoom in, zoom out, see what each corner of the planet is betting on Feels like Google Earth but for prediction markets Didn't even know this feature existed - insanely cool pizzint.watch/polyglobe

Speaking of the pizza tracker, have y’all seen this bit of dystopian nonsense?

Mark has never housed some pizza while watching college football on rivalry weekend. Very sad.

You may think this poast is not very good but it’s going to slap when they throw it up on a big screen at the ICC in a few years:

Must have been on a 4 day bender after the Inauguration

Doing some research on the Indiana State Senator and… HE DROVE WITH A .283 BAC?!?

Right Wing Social Media Influencer who only needs clicks to make money vs a GOP Politician who sees Trump at a 36 point approval rating and wants to get re-elected
