Possum in the Sun

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

ICE are terrorists

Personally I think if you had these documents in hand you should not have backed down out of any fucking shutdown fight

jeffrey epstein invoking "false memories" in defense of brett kavanaugh." lol. lmao.

The idea that sexual abuse is part of “private” life instead of a public crisis has done incalculable damage. Anti-rape activists have to fight to even make it possible to expose sexual abuse as a wrongdoing in public without being silenced and undermined. That fight is far from won

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

liberals will hear conservatives call all non-white people child murdering rapists and terrorists, and then complain about *your* lack of decorum when you call the conservative a delusional braindead motherfucker in response

Capitulating Democratic senators waited until after the election, indicating they know capitulation was a bad politics that bothers their voters and reduces their chances of retaking power.

Remember when Biden dropped the COVID isolation guidelines down to just 5 days, not because of any actual medical science, but because the Delta CEO asked him to?

Our lives have always been meaningless to establishment Dems compared to the profits of the donor class.

Black American soldiers literally dug these WWII graves. Traumatic. To acknowledge that fact at a cemetery they helped construct is something the Heritage Foundation cannot accept. As Veterans Day approaches, never forget that this country both compels and disrespects Black military service. Always.

In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

two reskeets about the same show in relation to the same political situation from two different people in succession

If they’re going to roll over like this after an electoral blowout less than a week ago, why bother electing Democrats to Congress next year? What would they actually do?

If I give the bully my lunch money every day eventually he will die of old age

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID

Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

they’re really trying their hardest to not release the epstein files it’s crazy

The words "FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE" placed over David Lynch's face (a still from TWIN PEAKS THE RETURN).

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

The abundance of evidence of the Biden administration just looking the other way and being willing to supply arms to actions they knew violated international law will continue to grow

At 9 a.m. editorial planning meetings that staffers say Weiss attends sporadically, some staffers have recoiled at her editorial suggestions. One found her proposal to book “Da Vinci Code” author Dan Brown for an interview about the recent heist at the Louvre frivolous. (Novelist Daniel Silva, whose work has featured art and espionage, was booked instead.) Last month, Weiss asked for an article on Sanae Takaichi, the first female prime minister of Japan, focused on the right-wing politician’s affinity for heavy metal. “She pitched it as a BuzzFeed listicle,” a staffer said. “Like what her favorite 10 songs are.” The eventual CBS story — which began “The Iron Lady listens to … Iron Maiden?” — laid out Takaichi’s love of music, motorcycles and karate.

Pure distilled essence of 1979-2025, here. I’m loaded and loving it but somehow I can never shake this mortal terror that somewhere, some poor wanker might be eating a free cheese sandwich.

Meme I stole from Tumblr: A closeup image of a Sony point and shoot camera with lots of buttons and knobs and whatnot. Text says "The tactile interface fandom is dying. Repost if you're a true knobhead."

I am proud to be a knobhead

Was this the best use of my time today? No. Is it the most amusing way I could have spent the last 90 minutes? Absolutely. Pattern is free here: bit.ly/4nGGCGc

It was a rejection of the entire administration and Dems should see this as a signal to become an actual opposition party. On everything. You don't stop the shutdown. You don't approve another appointee. You do nothing at all. The voters saved you, not the other way around. LEARN TO LEAD.

This is sort of perfect distillation of a certain perspective: The Free Press is deeply worried about an election ushering in someone who would put individual rights at risks, to the point people have to hide their identity, while also profiting massively from a President doing exactly that.
