Dude has an incredibly long arm.

Id rather retire at 70 than live with my parents after 20 and I really like my parents.

i knew so many, admittedly often very funny, libertarian dudes circa 2010, who were like "i hate both parties, but i feel like the left is going to be the one who takes away constitutional rights so i'm focused on them." and, uh, that bet didn't work out super great, huh

Had the Confederates been treated like traitors, America would be better off today.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. must resign or be removed.

Enough.

The field has some impressive contenders, but I think RFK has has a very real shot at winning Most Evil Government Official of All time. The prize is a dead whale, so he's gunning for it.

Mountain Head is a pretty bleak movie. But a lot of people overlook how hopeful it is about the future: in it, Peter Thiel has terminal cancer. And I just think thats really nice.

The meat is dry but the bread is wet. Just awful.

I have a lot of respect for tomatoes but they don't belong on a sandwich of any kind. But you can't say that in today's society

I'm totally fine with a liberal authoritarian. Take it a step further. Reinstate the Gairness Doctrine. Completely end right wing media.

real bummer finding out that literally everything was on the honor system this whole time

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

It's important to understand that there are journalists whose job it is to criticize whatever progressives are doing. They were criticizing progressive influence on Twitter for years. Now they're criticizing progressives leaving. If they came back, they would be criticized again. It's just the job.

The Right Way To Protest is to stand very still in your apartment and whisper “I wish this wasn’t happening” then get your ass to work, you’re gonna be late damn it

And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

The creature.

Do you know that thing you care about? It’s a distraction. Do you know the things I care about? Those are real

A brown-haired woman is retrieving clothing from her dresser. Her partner, a black-haired woman with bangs asks her "are we in a typical lesbian relationship?" As the brown-haired woman extracts a green shirt from the dresser, she asks rhetorically "pfft, what even IS a typical lesbian relationship.?" The black-haired woman says "yeah, you're right, there's no such thing" as she puts on her round glasses.
