Like whenever I talk about shifting the Overton Window to the left I think of Fifth Gear Luffy from One Piece cartoonishly grabbing onto it and throwing it to the left while laughing

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released.

“And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

I used to not really think of a single character I associate with "justice" or think of what I think of change and saving the oppressed.

And then Fifth Gear Luffy came around and this is what I think of when I think of change, a symbol of hope to win an impossible battle.

The greatest Christmas gift anybody could give me isn't money or physical goods.

It's the look on your face as I try to explain the Month Hall Problem to you and explain how mathematically, switching the door increases your chances of winning the prize.

Actually relevant to me.

Aftyn Behn, this district houses Vanderbilt University Medical School, which is important to medical research around the world and has been targeted by GOP the past few years.

Take out the GOP with those excited students and their energy!

Tennessee, vote for this lady. Imagine a world with even a single consequence for fascism.

Like if I'm 100% honest throughout the vast majority of US history Jeffries would be right.

But his duty as a member of the House *is explicitly* to be up to date to keep up with quickly changing wants of people, and I wonder if he's failing that duty in keeping up.

For people who don't pay as much attention to politics, Rand Paul has a Republican counterpart in the lower House, Thomas Massie, who causes as much trouble and takes pride in how he can beat so much money thrown at him in primaries by often opposing the GOP

So, one of those red dots is THAT guy

A downside of being a One Piece fan is I see "admiral" as a trending word on Bluesky and I am Very Wrong about what people are talking about

I heard he campaigned on banning Mondays and squashing spiders.

Maybe the real hotly contested special election was the friends we held rallies with along the way.

It feels kinda messed up that Mr. Boss giving a small version of himself is a season 2 Smiling Friends joke.

I thought it was a Season 1 joke, it felt like *the* Smiling Friends joke I don't understand how it happened after the Gwimbly episode, this timeline makes no sense.

Watching Smiling Friends for the first time.

I was excited to finally see the episode with the president and inflation joke.

I was not expecting President Pinhead joke holy crap truly a 10/10 show

If you want to know about why people put up with One Piece despite it being so long, the latest issue, 1167, has a plot twist that was lightly foreshadowed in *the very first issue (issue 1) of One Piece.

This fucking franchise lol

I grew up in Las Vegas, so this is a lot more normalized in my brain than it *should* be.

With that said, I also had adults drill into my head how to gamble for fun a little and how to keep to a pre-set low budget, and I don't know how people navigate through modern society without that training

I support women's rights AND women's wrongs.

have you heard of my new band, the "Diabetic Bladders"?

I hope I never stop learning about reality, I never knew there could be thunder with SNOW, but hearing the clear sound of thunder when it is snowing outside taught me something new, thundersnow is a thing, I want to forever learn cool new things about life.

Wait was "Hamtaro Time" between the 6 and 7 on my watch the whole time, I never noticed that before neat

YouTube video by Dylan Blaha Pete Hegseth commits war crimes

On September 2, Pete Hegseth ordered a second strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean. This is called a “no quarter” order, which violates Article 23 of The Hague Convention. In short, Pete Hegseth is a war criminal.

First snow of the season so now is the time I give non-stop reminders of how I grew up in the Las Vegas desert and miss it

Hey followers I grew up in Las Vegas and miss it; the dry heat... THE DRY HEAT IS REEEEEEEEAL

Daily reminder that the Beach Boys are lying liars who lie, there is no Kokomo, Florida, but instead there is a Kokomo, Indiana, which is absolutely nothing like the song I've lived there, you get there fast and ideally you LEAVE there fast

Post something random or you'll have an awful December.

My live reaction to learning just now the US never required female crash test dummies, which would represent slightly over half the human population, to make sure vehicles are safe.

One of the first things the Illinois government did in 2025 was make the soybean the official state bean and if I wrote that detail in a story about the governor of Illinois fighting the president when tariffs ruined the soybean export market it'd be seen as too on the nose.

AI bubble is gonna pop and it's gonna be nasty.

Very few are making money from AI, they're just "projecting revenue" and people are eating it up like it's guaranteed Enron-style.

Do you give it the highest honor of being a 7/10 game?

Thank you Rebecca Black, Mike Monday cursed us all when he invented Mondays and we really needed Fridays in response.

I know I am a great friend because when I had an early morning meeting for our next podcast show my friends had not consumed enough drugs yet to keep up with me and my shenanigans.

My least reasonable political take is the US cheese reserve should be in Wisconsin, not Missouri.

How can you deny Wisconsin its cheese? I don't care if Missouri caverns have the perfect cheese preservation climate, move the caverns, move the climate, come on!
