Once when I was a young shithead living with other young shitheads we had a landlord who left us a haiku:

Why you get on roof?
Your hall is a garbage yard.
You will be summoned.

Hear me out: companies like this are great because it allows all the weird little aggro 996-evangelists to self-segregate into their deranged little silos and leave the rest of us the fuck alone

Something darkly funny about a scene of the most day-drunk apparatchiks this side of the Volga lining up at the rotunda with tears streaming down their sunburned faces to pay their respects to the deceased and then you look at the deceased and it’s Charlie fucking Kirk.

Don Jr. runs up to him unsure of what to do and all he can think of is to shake his father’s hand because that’s the only way they’ve ever touched and his hand is very cold.

Nothing made slavery’s toxicity more obvious to Union troops than its effect on the fundamental unit of society, the family. For one thing, slave sales separated families. In the Upper South, where many Union soldiers were stationed in 1861, about one in three first marriages was broken by sale, and about half of all slave children were separated from at least one parent. 129 With their own eyes, soldiers saw slavery snap bonds between parents and children. The men of the Seventh Wisconsin were awakened by gunshots one November night. The following day, soldiers β€œlearned, and saw the cause of the alarm in the form of two negro womenβ€”a mother and a daughter.” The pair had fled to Union lines to avoid the proposed sale of the β€œgoodlooking” daughter into the so-called fancy trade, which soldiers viewed as a form of concubinage. Outraged by the plight and moved by the vulnerability of the mother and daughter, β€œevery private in the ranks” cursed β€œthat system which tramples on the honor of man, and makes merchandise of the virtue of women,” according to one member of the regiment. 130 When an Iowan encountered a young child about to be sold by her own father, who was also her master, he vowed, β€œBy G–d I’ll fight till hell freezes over and then I’ll cut the ice and fight on.” 131

Elf guy: BILL
KRISTOL
WE SHALL DEFEND TRANS PEOPLE
AND LIBERAL DEMOCRACY TO OUR LAST BREATH
Bearded warrior dude: JFC THIS IS WEIRD

the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.
