Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?

Today, the main reading is difficult to get right in terms of diction/emphasis, and the optional reading is sweet and fuzzy and therefore requires little prep. But come on. (This priest will probably choose sweet and fuzzy.)

In terms of religious arguments, this one is kind of funny. They asked me to lector at the Wednesday daily Masses. Okay, but you have to prepare if you want to do it well. And if there are optional readings, that's not decided until 5 minutes before Mass. So I have to prepare them both. *sigh*

The existence of this bubble -- a place where marginalized populations could go to feel safe & accepted & joyful -- drove the wider patriarchal culture *insane*, so they attacked it & attacked it, made it a joke, dismissed it, marginalized it, killed it.

Likewise, I'm tired of the mega stores that keep it so air conditioned in the summertime that you can't enter the store without a light jacket. And then you go home to find the power company has asked you to set your thermostat to save .000001% of the amount of energy the store just wasted.

honestly even if you're reading performatively (???) keep doing it lol, buy books, take pictures of yourself reading books, let the reading make your brain better

1982. It was raining. He ducked into a Gristedes, and the manager snapped, "Buy something or move it." So he bought a chocolate bar. It was $.75, and when you make a million a year, that's not so expensive, is it?

hire all the fired political teen vogue writers and make a new magazine call teen rogue.

we’ll all subscribe en masse

I"m convinced Miller wants riots, and hungry people are more likely to riot. It's got to be burning him up inside that 7 million people attended No Kings without any rioting or violence, so now he's got to induce it.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

You know how it is, on Monday you're up one pound, Tuesday you're down two pounds, Wednesday you're back to Monday's weight, Thursday you're the same but Friday you're down one. It adds up! 🙃

Defense: "Your Honor! I believe the prosecution has attempted jury intimidation!"

Wait, so he knows about yesterday's election?

Today we are all Zohran's auntie.

Trump's lawyers are in the Supreme Court right now establishing that, among other things, a future Dem president can declare a climate emergency and tariff the fuck out of whatever he wants.

Yeah, imagine if he tried to claim 15% of intel or something.

well I for one am shocked that "every aspect of your life gets worse forever and also look at my marble bathroom" did not turn out to be a winning election strategy

Dems in ARRAY

I can't wait for whatever unhinged posting Trump is going to do after the humiliation of tonight's votes. If we're lucky, it'll only be unhinged posting. Although who knows, maybe it'll be like after No Kings and he'll knock down the West Wing, too.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

We should implement a legal Rule of Cool where if you commit a crime in a super cool way and *nobody gets physically hurt,* you get total immunity. This will incentivize criminals towards showmanship and avoiding casualties. This is a really good idea.

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

Just a reminder that there's a whole bsky feed of things Mike Johnson hasn't seen, doesn't know about, and wasn't informed about. bsky.app/profile/numb...

Because white MAGAts see nothing other than skin color, race, and ethnicity, they assume everyone else does the same. They'd vote for someone just because he was white.

The range increments of a full subway sandwich are only 10/20 so you have disadvantage on your throw more than a few paces away. You can double the range with a half-sandwich wrapped tightly and druis have a fifth-level subclass feature that removes disadvantage if the sandwich has sprouts

So Mamdani's first act as mayor will be to ease the housing crisis! All those empty houses and apartments will be thanks to him. What a leader!

happy halloween to what many people believed was the greatest tweet of all time

Mike Johnson bemoans able-bodied men collecting healthcare benefits from the government while not working--exactly what Mike Johnson is currently doing.

Yes! Usually I use vodka, but last time I did it with brandy, and it's so good either way. Split the bean, add it to the bottle, leave it to step in a dark place for like eight weeks, and enjoy.
