To my knowledge none of the top trappers ever made a riff on "Jolene" called "Codeine." And now the era for such things has passed

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

We got 3 or so social media sites, 3 or so megacorps pretending to be nations that control all the cultural capital figuratively and literally, and no blogs. Shit is dire

As Screwed as millennials are and were we did come of age in a time where access to diverse cultural output was pretty easy and fun. I worry that this may no longer be the case

Itโ€™s always funny how many 300lb greasy men that mentally crumble into an even deeper hole of delusion knowing Greta out classes them in every aspect of bravery. These guys who are terrified to even ride a subway, trembling at anything that reminds them of their own weakness.

DOJ: CA NG is already federalized

Judge: You are an officer of the court. Do you think this is an appropriate way to deal with my order? Appropriate way of dealing with ruling you disagree with?

DOJ: Well, I'm not a policy maker

Judge: You're a lawyer

showed my gf Goodfellas for the first time; she liked it but mainly what she took away was a visual fixation with Carbone. "he's the most interesting looking man I've ever seen" she mused

If a federal judge, appointed by Trump, can call him โ€œsimply untethered to facts,โ€ our White House press corps can as well.

The sunk cost fallacy is just thatโ€”a fallacy. Itโ€™s okay to change the things that arenโ€™t working for you, from jobs, to partners, to gender.

Pritzker has been great. But these reports that IL state police are assisting ICE, harassing and beating people who record ICE, and helping arresting protesters all seem to be supported by some video. If state cops are helping feds suppress rights over governorโ€™s objections, thatโ€™s a big problem.

It'll never be lost on me that a particular subset of the liberal commentariat in both North America and Western Europe were deeply infatuated with this woman up until the very moment she decided to talk about that one issue you're still basically not allowed to talk about lol.
