I don't trust the existing Democratic power structure to properly punish these monsters if/when they regain control. But I dearly wish they would bring Republican leadership up on charges of acting as accessories to the administration's crimes, on top of prosecuting Trump, Vance, and the cabinet.

RIP Diane Keaton
My favourite picture of her where everyone else is giving it their best Blue Steel & she looks like she’s just wandered in off the street looking super cool.
She was allowed to wear her own clothes & her wonderful personality shines out.
What a unique talent & human being.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

There's a classic Twilight Zone episode for everything, truly. Here's Rod Serling skewering Libs of TikTok in 'Four O'Clock' before that miserable little parasite was even born.

Honestly “Republicans are shutting down the government to hide the Epstein files” is pretty good messaging.

Al: Invisible messages from invisible sources, or what some people think of as progress.
Dan: Ain't the heathens used smoke signals all through recorded history?
Al: How's that a fucking recommendation?
Dan: Well, it seems to me like, you know, letters posted one person to another is just a slower version of the same idea.
Al: When's the last time you got a fucking letter from a stranger?
Dan: Bad news about Pa.
Al: Bad news! Or tries against our interests is our sole communications from strangers, so by all means, let's plant poles all across the country, festoon the cocksucker with wires to hurry the sorry word and blinker our judgments of motive, huh?
Dan: You've given it more thought than me.
Al: Ain't the state of things cloudy enough? Don't we face enough fucking imponderables?
Dan: Well, by God, you give the word, Al, and them poles will be kindling.

I’m pretty much constantly angry about how the global media ecosystem supercharged the current wave of fascism and of course I can’t help but think of Al Swearengen talking about the telegraph coming to Deadwood

Kimmel wasn't the canary in the coal mine. that was all the trans people, black people, native Americans, journalists, Palestinians, disabled peeps, and teachers you let them brutalize without a fight.

We don’t call everyone who disagrees with us a Nazi, JD, just the ones doing Nazi shit like:

-masked secret police kidnapping people off the street
-creating concentration camps
-attempting to eradicate trans people
-banning/burning LGBTQ/opposing viewpoint books
-murdering fishermen in open waters

watched a documentary about the making of megalopolis last night and I really think we should encourage more rich people to spend more time pursuing extremely iconoclastic artistic visions and less time fucking up every workable aspect of society

Apropos of nothing in particular, here's Walt Disney's testimony to HUAC in 1947, where he named employees he believed were communists, condemned labor unions, and accused "commie" groups, including the League of Women Voters, of smearing him. 🗃️

This was from banning trans girls from girls sports. Just so you understand the reality of what's going on here.

Redford seen from the side - his face turned away from us - wearing an argyle sweater vest over a striped collared shirt. he's outside, the background is out-of-focus trees during golden hour - the sun almost exactly in the middle of the frame, its light touching his shoulder

They’re treating the murder of Charlie Kirk like the 9/11 terror attacks, as an excuse to go to war.

But this time they’re going to war against the US.

conservatives are never going to change their world view because you pointed out their hypocrisy for the millionth time to their face. They didn't become conservative because it seemed like the most logical set of beliefs based on the spreadsheet they made
