While I’m happy about last Tuesday‘s elections, I still can’t shake the feeling that the interval between now and the 2026 midterms is going to be the LONGEST fucking year of our lives.

It seems statistically inevitable that a guy who writes an article titled “Did Women Ruin the Workplace” is going to look like Calvin Candy from Django Unchained and Red from That 70s Show stepped into a teleportation chamber together…

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I hear the Epstein Ballroom will be illuminated solely by gaslighting.

Look out fascists, the new zoo review is coming straight at YOU!

When you read an important passage in a book, but you don’t have a highlighter or sticky index tab handy so you dribble some coffee on the page. ☕️

Breaking news: America refills its strategic vinegar reserve with MAGA’s sour grapes. #Nobel

Sign design for upcoming ICE protest. Think they’ll get the message?

I’m not exaggerating when I say reading this book feels like watching Doctor Strangelove for the first time. What should be dead serious, reads like a grotesque comedy.

I watched your discussion this morning with Brian Cohen, and I appreciate your perspective as a former army lawyer. Thank you.

Holy fucking shit READ THIS BOOK!

It will always be weird to me that my favorite move (Blade Runner) and least favorite movie (GI JANE) were directed by the same guy.

Thank you for another inspiring evening — my creative tanks are back to full 🚀

This week’s reading:

More relevant than ever, unfortunately.

In the hubbub of last week, it seems we all forgot to memorialize Robert Redford as being the BEST fictional president in US history, according to the 2019 Watchmen TV series. #Redfordations, baby!

#inktober Day 1: I’ve decided I’m not going to follow the prompts this year and instead I’m going to draw eldritch horrors from the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Madness and horror are totally in this year, have you heard?

“What is SOBRIETY, Pete Hegseth?”

I sure hope there is a drag king somewhere named Big Beautiful Bill.

I’m sorry Carla.

I feel about Trump the way I felt about my sister’s cancer.

I just want him to GO AWAY and stop threatening people I love.

I lived in Portland for six years and the most violent thing I ever saw there was this wallpaper…

I want to believe those waist pouches are filled with trail mix.
