"Everybody in the South was so nice to me! They all said 'bless your heart' and 'I'll pray for you,' it was really lovely."

It's really heartbreaking to learn that the UK only just this morning gained access to the internet.

straight out of those Civil War histories where some ill informed white Union soldier got a view of slavery up close and became hyper abolitionist in an instant

they try to be coy with it, they always preface it with "I'm not saying you deserved it, BUT . . ." and they fool absolutely nobody

maybe gonna regret not leaving this one in drafts (hey, cool! drafts!), but:

a lot of people on this website think of "having a large follower count" the same way a certain kind of violent man thinks of "wearing a low-cut top and a short skirt"

the same people screaming bloody murder at Amy Klobuchar for a dorky post about consumer good prices under tariffs spent months screaming bloody murder at Harris' campaign because nobody cared about Project 2025 and it was a distraction from the fact that each egg cost twenty United States dollars

there's no love lost between me and Denmark, which is basically the answer to the question "what if we calculated the exact median of Scandinavia and then maxed out the racism slider," but holy shit have we ever earned it if the USA men lose this game

counterpoint: leave Swayman in forever

John Oliver in the middle of saying something about Adam Driver that is at once indecipherable and disgusting

I am pleased to inform you that we are going to win

sounds made up, zoomers aren't real

Yes, this is the correct framing. I, personally, do not intend to let them finish the job or get away with having tried.

it did not even occur to me that anybody thought this was a case study rather than a (well-crafted, I have to admit) work of fiction

I hate Liz Bruenig so fuckin' much, man

if these people are going to paint anything I insist that they do so in a well-ventilated space, the fumes have done enough damage already

across my undergrad career I probably spent more time listening to Leonard Nimoy's voice than that of any one of my professors

not sure to whom "AOC is a CIA asset" is more insulting, AOC or the CIA

also for anyone still stalking my profile, no I do not hate AOC for being Hispanic or a woman or a bartender, I hate her because she's an establishment Democrat and a CIA asset. just for clarification. hope that helps but it won't because y'all have zero fucking brain cells

the brain genius who sees no material difference between AOC and JD Vance would like to clarify, for the record, that their reasons for hating AOC are possibly even dumber than you imagined

You THINK you can say that?

Worry, Don't Panic, Over Trump's Efforts to Subvert the Elections America's system is quite foolproof but he can still try to delegitimize it

His attacks on the midterms are real and dangerous… and aren’t going to work. Running down the case for an optimistic threat assessment @theunpopulist.net :

this is what I pay my twelve hard-earned smackaroonis a month for, folks

I wish I believed in Hell so that I could find comfort in the idea of Andrew Wakefield and Jenny McCarthy and especially, especially, ESPECIALLY Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. burning there forever.

By the time my mother retired in 2019, probably about one out of every four parents she talked to thought that her four years of medical school and three years of residency and decades of experience doing her job of saving children's lives made her *less* trustworthy.

My mother devoted 36 years of her life to trying to explain stories like these to parents, and it fills with me a rage I can scarcely describe to contemplate the sort of person who wouldn't listen to her but will listen to Elizabeth fucking Bruenig.

get the kid in the brown hoodie a scholarship

i saw a tiktok about how serving tea in childhood is a sign of exposure to Coronation Street and i can't stop thinking about it

I would like to hear Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski call a baseball game

That's right.

That's right.
