Fuck, I'm gonna end up playing through Final Fantasy Tactics again, aren't I?

under trump (and frankly under biden too), there is a palestinian exception to the first amendment

history will look with great shame on this. to detain & deport the fiercest advocates for a people experiencing a genocide is unconscionable.

Now, and forever... Gavin Newsom sucks shit.

Also Gingrich and Buchanan. You just do not get the current GOP as it currently is without them, and it's baffling seeing people pretend that this crisis (which it is) just came out of left field with no direct forebears.

She truly is the boringly horrible person imaginable. Doesn’t even have the decency to be horrible in an interesting way. Just working in the most bland way imaginable to make the world worse.

Sometimes I'll be struck with the realization that we live in a world where fully grown adults believe that demons and angels are real things and man, it never feels good.

This really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him

If you've ever been like "Boy, I love murder mysteries in the vein of Agatha Christie, Columbo, Knives Out or The Thin Man, but really wish the whole thing was the denouement scene at the end... well... you're gonna wanna check this show out!

There are uniformed, on-duty cops who read don't as much like cops as this guy does.

Respectfully opting out of the current music discourse.

that’s why running “fuck da man” candidates works

Obama was a “fuck da man” progressive, running against a political establishment that had led the US into Iraq and destroyed the economy

but since then, all of democratic national candidates have been dyed-in-the-wool establishmentarians

Ah yes the master of horror himself

You know what? Maybe we’re all gonna be alright after all.

Is the new Tron movie FOR anyone? Is this a Yellowstone situation where it's insanely popular but I just don't know a single person who is like "fuck yeah, Jared Leto is a Tron now!" or whatever?

This class is starting soon! By the end of 6 weeks you're gonna be so good at The Pretty Flower, your head will spin!

"cancel culture" was an overblown thing where some people got fired for sexually harassing their employees and others got yelled at on Twitter. The conservative version, which some claim as an inevitable counterbalance, is doxxing & death threats for making fun of self-proclaimed white supremacists.

ah but you see, you are a vertebrate

I gave her a conditional pass in 201, and it was largely just because I didn't want to deal with the email I'd get if I held her back.

i keep saying this but what i hate most about the ezra kleins of the world is their insistence is that politics is about messaging and triangulating. its never about offering a compelling vision of the world, its about trying desperately to capitulate to whatever moment we are in

"The too sides have gotten extreme! The left wants to FIX problems and the right wants to make MORE problems! But me, I just want the problems to stay exactly as they are now, forever."

A centrist is someone who generally agrees with the left on many of the problems in the world and who also generally agrees with the right on how to make sure those problems never get fixed.

now this is comedy

Reno 911 falls in this too… cops LOVE the show. But also it presents cops as psychopathic buffoons and did a whole season post-2020 that even addressed it.

I think there’s no level of inept and bad you can make cops in a work of fiction that cops won’t watch and go “hell yeah.”

A lot of conservatives are unironically afraid of places that look like this though

You’re being INCREDIBLY generous by describing this shit as “strongly worded”. That’s very big of you.

Think of all the consultants who got paid to come up with this, the weakest, least inspiring message imaginable.

If I was a younger man, I absolutely would have put together a midnight bit show at UCB called, like, "The Riyadh Comedy Festival West (sponsored by Dasani and the CIA.)"
