just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

Completely off topic, but in the Sister Boniface series, they have a Doctor Who parody episode, but the fake show in that episode is so much more like Inspector SpaceTime, it’s actually kind of weird. It’s not on purpose, but it does suggest that all parodies of Doctor Who are Inspector SpaceTime.

Contrarianism is just taking the opposite side of whatever is under discussion just to be an asshole. This phenomenon is choosing to fully internalize an alt and usually crackpot explanation because you don’t want to believe the accepted one - it goes much deeper than just being reflexively a dick.

We gotta have a clear term for people so cynical they become gullible.

Is the military gonna make me shop at gunpoint? Is the military gonna make me open a cute little boutique? What does the military accomplish in this context?

I mean, yeah unless of course, those people are also complete monsters, I am on the side of all of the people primarying these assholes!

Will her next book be Joyce Carol Oates on Choosing Violence

It is 100% Jay Leno’s fault

this is literally never not accurate

Every time I hear this guy’s name, I’m learn something that makes me happy he didn’t become the vice president although actually that seems like the only thing he’s qualified for

Boy, the right sure loves this guy.

I think we have to do the tea party thing where we insist we are going to take back our party because if you look at it, historically this isn’t the Democratic Party. This is not the party of FDR - it isn’t even the party of LBJ! We need to take them over from the inside.

Durbin‘s whole career has been believing his GOP colleagues are acting in good faith, which is why he was never able to get the dreamer act passed which is something he actually should’ve been able to do. He was working on that during the Obama administration. He should have been able to get that.

I’m not sure what I’m failing to communicate here. If you look and see how the tea party worked that is what I’m talking about. Has nothing to do with the former structure of the GOP, which was completely hijacked or the current structure of the Democratic party, which I’m suggesting we hijack.

If nothing changes and no effort is made to rally people who don’t usually vote, and all of our energy is expended on trying to change the minds of Nazis - sure. Doing the exact same thing we always do will result in the exact same result. That is not what the other side did.

Our next march theme should be No Collaborators

Sending love to everyone whose health care has been jeopardized by the Democratic cave-in. These Democratic elites will not be part of the solution. We must proceed with that understanding.

The other side completely gutted their party and replaced them with the kinds of candidates they wanted and look at what they have now? We can remake the party in the same way and then rename it if we want to, but the structure and tools exist, and we should use them

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.

Oh. Honestly, I was sure that I’d read that it was unicameral. Oh well! What you’re describing sounds like it would also work better than what we have right now now.

If this all leads to us having the actual Parliamentary system, something unicameral like France, I won’t hate it as an outcome

I did just call and yell at my nicest senator because hers was the only voicemail I could get through to so I don’t hope it’s true but sorry Senator if I yelled at you and it’s a lie

Gosh, if only there had been some scandal about 100 and some years ago that demonstrated that the combination of gambling and sports was bad for the games and the players! Oh well!

Phryne threatening to go more than 85 on some of the worst roads I’ve ever seen in rural Australia seems unwise.

Border patrol chief reprimanded for lying claims shots were fired at immigration officers in Chicago Gregory Bovino was called out by a judge only two days earlier for lying about being assaulted by a protester

It is embarassing that only a news outlet from the UK has an accurate headline while our local papers keep saying "reports" without specifying a liar made that report.

“Fad collapses; fad company shocked!“

Yesterday we had a meeting on the block. We had to. The state of the government and its affect on the community was the topic. We discussed the best way to proceed in all of the uncertainty. The other day there was no SNAP in November. Then it was half. Then it was none again. Then it was half again. Then 65%. Then 35% in the exact same day. So you can see what I mean when I say, uncertainty. The hokey pokey of this administration had us wondering should we keep doing dinner everyday and lean in, or stop because people are getting a percentage (I think? ) of their SNAP benefits? Now, preparing meals outside on a street corner in the summer is hard. But, outdoors in a Chicago fall/ winter is brutal. We've done pop ups before in the winter but never everyday... BUT, knowing how difficult it could be and will be, every single volunteer who cooks and shows up to serve everyday STILL voted that we can't stop. The kids need us. Even with a fraction of the benefits. Even with the indecisiveness of the government. Even in the cold, wet, ick, that is sure to come. Even without funding. They all voted to still show up. And then people in the neighborhood started dropping whatever they had in their pockets on the table. Because we're all in this together. 🎶"I wish I could give you this feeling. I wish I could give you this feeling."🎶

Shutting it down for the night with this post from a comrade in Chicago:
🎶"I wish I could give you this feeling. I wish I could give you this feeling."🎶

This is such great news. I had a lot of faith in Danny Strong. I’ve never been to New York before, but I got the book club together and we’re going in March. I’m so excited!

Nytimes screen shot. How the elections intensified the fight over the Democratic Party. Around d the US, primary candidates will decide the party’s direction on policy issues and ultimately whether it has a center left or left wing vision.

Am I the only person who thinks this is great? Like, “yes, we should have a variety of candidates in primaries. Let’s stop being afraid of what Fox News is going to say, they are going to say it anyway.”
