Except for the bits about Musk and the Trump pissoir (which I would also fully support) I legitimately think Sparky's platform is the bare minimum necessary for any Dem candidate. Anything less fails the historical moment.

I am never going to get over the fact thar so many Americans died that corpses stacked up in nursing homes and hospital morgues, that refrigerator trucks had to be brought in for the overflow, and that the big takeaway from Important Pundits is there should have been *less* mitigation.

this has an ode to USA-Canada women's hockey, The Greatest Rivalry In Sports.

what other rivalry has:
β€”the best two teams in the sport
β€”seriously, always the best two teams
β€”always more or less exactly as good as each other
β€”also players from the two teams keep falling in love and getting married

There's a reason that there are some magic words a lawyer can use to tell the judge "My client insists on being a dumbass right now, please don't hold it against me"

You can't overtly throw your client under the bus, but there's ~ways~ to handle these situations

Decorum in the face of criminality, corruption and cruelty is just a soft, cowardly way of acquiescing to it -- even agreeing with it. Disruption against corruption is crucial.

You’re pushed on by numbers and punitive measures: pain, rejection, and unpaid bills. You can either play or you can crawl under a boat and waste away -- turn into salt or a flock of seagulls. Your enemies would love that. Or you can fight. The only way to load the dice is to keep on fighting.

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, β€œObama: Dems need to avoid scolding and β€˜virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with.
this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.
