We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.

That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.

Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

Premature Evaluation: Johnny Blue Skies & The Dark Clouds 'Mutiny After Midnight' We’re reaching nearly unprecedented levels of giving no fuks while simultaneously giving all the fuks. Sturgill Simpson cares deeply β€” about love and lust; about the state of his country and the state...

On his new country-rock disco-funk record, Sturgill Simpson compares his dick to a lollipop, rails against ICE and oligarchs, celebrates his marriage, initiates an orgy, endures a spaceship ride with Katy Perry, and "weaponizes his autism to shit out an opus." My review:

On a college road trip to TN we stopped for a late night Waffle House fill-up. The waitress said, "what can I get y'all?" My smartass NYC friend replied, "wait, so do you mean y'all as in all of us, or just me?"

With a withering look she said, "if I'da meant all's y'all, I'da said all's y'all.'

This is great news! I already liked Mamdani, but was concerned when I thought he opposed American independence from the crown. Now that he has reconsidered, I like him even more

cannot stress enough how absurd it is that our government officials are mocking Iranian leadership for being delusional theocrats when they themselves genuinely believe this war is a mission from God to prepare the holy land for the Book of Revelations

They think there's a "gotcha" game to be played. However this overlooks two essential points:

1. The Republican base 100% doesn't give a shit about inconsistency.

2. It imputes a theory of mind for Trump that is absolutely not, and has never been, useful or even evident.

a reminder that Graham Platner is the grandson of the designer of the "Windows on the World" restaurant at the WTC, has considerable family money, and his main business is selling oysters to his mom's two restaurants. These people are fucking marks.

whether war, vaccines, or critical infrastructure there is contingent of the right that seems to believe that their security from the worst things that happen is some kind of metaphysical principle rather than the result of specific historical processes that could've gone otherwise and still could

Gimli sees white garments peak out from beneath the old man’s grey rags, and moves to attackβ€”but Legolas cries aloud: β€˜Mithrandir!’

β€˜Gandalf!’ says Aragorn. β€˜Beyond all hope you return to us in our need!’

The old man pauses. β€˜Gandalf. Yes, that was the name. I was Gandalf.’
