It smells like the left wing of the day of judgment

The words “touching grass is. It rough I need Horible things to happen to powerful people” printed on a photograph of a green field with daisies and small yellow flowers

Other than a few lingering commedia del'arte troupes, pro wrestling is the only improvisational dramatic performance form in all of art. It requires ridiculous levels of skill.

You don't have to like it, but to not *respect* it is like saying "I can't take ballet seriously."

The meme with a guy and two girls. The guy is labeled 1:59 AM. His girlfriend islabeled 2 AM. The cute girl coming the other way is labeled 3AM.

The US and Canada go to Daylight Savings Time tomorrow morning.

The left nut and the right nut in the cut right before they nut

The space between them is called the "perineum".

Having once been a college freshman, NEVER listen to a college freshman who thinks they know things after having taken one intro course

Since I have to fund a flight and rent, any help here would be amazing. This month of all month are going to be the most precarious and I am selling off as many belongings I can before I have to go.

Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense — if we still had a Congress.

Thinking about the part in NO OTHER CHOICE where the mother tells her son about his grandfather's pig farm where the pigs caught a disease and all 20,000 of them had to be buried alive to contain it, for no reason.

Looking forward to getting my hands on this

Yeah, without the depth, warmth, or commitment to public service

If you start from the position that sexism is an insurmountable obstacle for a woman getting elected president, the logical endpoint there is that women shouldn't run for president until that bigotry has been defeated.

I think that's wrong.

Instead of being amazed that Cheney endorsed Harris despite agreeing with Trump on 99% of his policies, people treated it as though her endorsement meant Harris now agreed with Cheney on 99% of policy. Dumbest electorate in the world.

Trump's presidency is failing politically for the same reason Crazy Eddie went out of business -- bait-and-switches and other dishonest, high-pressure sales tactics can be very effective at generating short-term profits but they aren't conducive to repeat business

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Matt has been a mentor and a friend to half the critics coming up in the past few decades. He helped me get my very first gig. His bookstore is a treasure trove of gorgeous art and behind the scenes knowledge. I can't recommend it enough.

“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

But my dad does. And my abuelos did. And I feel it in my bones, my dreams. What will happen when it happens to everyone instead of just the people you all believe are disposable

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

The Waffle House Home Run for Kennesaw State

I’m sorry, doing this in a baseball cap sold by your campaign store is deliberately disrespecting the dead.

Having some of the most thoroughly redacted thoughts of my life.

Elections have consequences. When Republicans gained control of all three branches of government, Republicans became fully responsible for whatever insane wars they start, and for whatever insane human rights violations occur because of their choices, and for any economic destruction they cause...

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

This quote isnt just out of touch or disappointing, its fucking dark. Gay people are not a conversation parents need to have with their kids? Knowing gay people exist doesnt require therapy??

Any parents who thinks that way needs to have their kids removed ASAP. Get in a volcano, Pete.
