Socialism and transgender for everyone!

Strong inducement for those NYC voters who haven't made up their minds yet.

Hello I need the most Catholic guilt you have. ... No that's too much.

Cheney was a terrible person. Evil to the core, if one believes in the concepts of good and evil. The only acceptable things to do are denounce him or say nothing. She ought to have done the former.

Why did she "need" to say something? And what, pray tell, did that "something" have to be anodyne praise?

Unrelenting hate is the best that scum fuck deserves. Harris didn't have to say one damn thing.

So - in light of your examples -- entirely expected?

His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:

Classics!

He's not, but he's hoping a lot of other people are.

Remember when he shot Harry Whittington in the face and WHITTINGTON apologized to HIM?

Rest in piss, motherfucker.

Chief Joseph of the Nez Percés

In addition to out-generaling the US Army, this guy had some good awareness of the futility of dealing with Christian apologists.

I hope his family is fucking traumatized.

Dick Cheney is dead and I’m glad, and bsky better not fucking ban people for celebrating him being dead. Dead dead dead dead. Corpsed. Rotting. Dead. Dirt nap for Dick. Bleeding demised.

This is worse than the dumb part of it if I'm honest. The guys who yell constantly that they can't get laid and are afraid of the subway are in charge

That they're panicking over Mamdani instead is quite the tell.

This is all in the rather distant past at this point. His politics have strayed pretty far rightward and it would be incredibly myopic for people who are left of center to cast a vote for him rather than for the candidate who holds actual progressive policy positions today.

Fucking toddler-level insult from the wealthiest man in the world. Can we get a different timeline, please?

This was fun to read.

Maxwell Hairston was laughed at all week for saying this…

Turns out he was right!

It's the most inspiring online content.

Sorry, did you actually turn to AI for a summary of one of the most-analyzed and written about books in the American literary canon? Why not use a human source? Even Wikipedia would be infinitely better.

The 30% ones don't inspire confidence either. I mean, I've long known that roughly a third of the country actually agrees with whatever the current GOP standard-bearer does regardless of how policy actually plays out, but it's still incredibly distressing to see it.

For some of us, Paddy's is the way. But Samhain is a solid second. It's kind of the fall equivalent.

Didn't see anything that said "late pledge," but I went ahead and pledged for a physical copy anyway. Fingers crossed it all works out!

On it!

Sorry, I feel very dumb for (a) not catching on earlier that you were doing this and (b) not quite understanding if I would get a copy if I pledged now. I assume the answer to the second is yes? Please say it is.

doing a little gag for halloween this year where if a kid comes to the door and he’s wearing a cop outfit of any kind i don’t give him any candy
