Proving once again that most Dems in power don’t hate MAGA’s policies. They just find Trump and his people gauche. They want to replace Diet Coke with Pinot noir and that’s about it.

It just hit me. Cattet/Forzani are to Europulp what Lewis Klahr is to comic books: a faithful engagement that eschews narrative in favor of a plunge into the unconscious.

This is probably why Trump is trying to occupy the cities. It isn’t working but when did that ever stop MAGA.

in addition to lite mode and dark mode, discord should add a 'calm' mode where they turn off all the bullshit

Pantone’s β€œcloud dancer” is just β€œSydney Sweeney’s genes” all over again. I’d almost respect it more if it were openly racist. As it is, it’s feigned ignorance and trolling for engagement.

One of these days, I will finally just get exhausted and KMS.

Of course. But only THEY have feelings, or as they legally call them, β€œsincerely held beliefs.” The rest of us are just virtue-signaling wokies. πŸ™„

The whole sordid episode of the β€œdirtbag left” should be a cautionary tale. If you insist on a vibes-based political order, you’ll have clowns whose only ethical criterion is β€œwhich side allows me to say naughty slurs?”

I’m not totally thrilled with the idea of Mark Kelly as a presidential candidate. But I have to admit, the idea of First Lady Gabrielle Giffords brings a tear to my eye.

Maybe just doing anything with actual human writing will become the new Great Books model.

β€œβ€¦ quest to shake up America’s vaccine system”.

Dear Dangerously Incompetent NYT Editors,
The word you are looking for here is β€œdestroy” or β€œsubvert”. Perhaps β€œundermine” if you’re being overly cautious. β€œShake up” is a choice to naturalize the attempted murder of children.

I propose a new law that stupid assholes must always shut the fuck up, regardless of how much money they happen to have.

The fact that REFLECTIONS IN A DEAD DIAMOND only went to second-tier "fantastic" fests after its Berlin premiere, and eventually debuted on Shudder with no theatrical, speaks to just how screwed up the world of film is right now.

One of the year's best, hands down.

The entirety of the left/liberal friction in Democratic Party politics is summarized by how one looks at basically anything Hakeem Jeffries says and if your reaction is "Jesus fucking Christ we could do so much better than this" or "I like the way he's not Donald Trump"

That's it. That's all of it.

Remember how after WW2, women who collaborated with the Nazis were paraded through the streets with their heads shaved?

Let's keep this in mind for Bondi, Leavitt, Noem, Habba, Kelly, Ingraham, Mace, Pirro.... and hell, Hegseth too.
