You bolt awake in the shores of Little St James. You are not online. It is 1997 AD. You are the Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, and you have changed your mind. The future cannot come to pass. The financial industry must not be deregulated

it doesn't sit well with me that they're gonna take those uniforms off

america is more divided than it's ever been. only one thing still unites us across all cultural, racial, religious, and economic lines: universal recognition that Cape Feare is the best sideshow bob episode

I can't believe J.D. Vance went on TV and said "Ich bin Evil! Ich bin Evil!!! Ich bin der Evil kleine Chocolate Boy!!" with chocolate smeared all over his mouth and lederhosen. But he did. And we all saw it

rumor has it the millennial front office is desperate to trade jd vance to whichever generation will take him. they're working the wires, especially targeting gen x and boomers, and are open to any deal for a politician to be named later. no chance of getting an actual prospect in return

I think that, fundamentally, ending the shutdown without a commitment that congress actually controls how money is spent in this country is Very, Very Bad

but I am being thoroughly polarized away from that position's salience by the monstrous behavior of the sephiroth-posters who want starved kids

9/11 this, 9/11 that; some of y’all need to put down the 9 ELVEN rings gifted to the race of men, who above all else, desire power <send>

Ozzy Osbourne lifting Randy Rhoads in the air.

Many years later, as he faced the editorial board, Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani was to remember that distant afternoon when his father told him to abolish ICE

hiring the Inception crew to enter Chuck Schumer's mind palace and murder the Baileys

the hard truth is, millions of young men in america are addicted to gambling on their phones. if we want to recapture their demographic we must pass legislation that makes it illegal for them to lose at gambling

the ghost of Harry Truman got so mad at your A-bomb discourse he was like "fuck it, the ship's yeeting another jet"

A screen cap of an article hed with a photo of a chef in a stainless steel kitchen, peaking potatoes. There are 6 additional chefs working in the background. The headline is “Diet of Worms will help us survive climate change, say top chefs”.

Glad to see we’re addressing the root cause of all of this: Luther’s heresy

a truck of rice sure would come in handy now

Smoot and Hawley, eat your heart out!

why is it that i have to have sympathy for someone who did something, specifically and intentionally, to harm me and the people i love

i dont think you can know why democrats lost by going to a website run by the guy decapitating our government and then reading whatever the algorithm feeds you

If the Democratic leadership in Congress does not want to use democracy, we would like to borrow it for a time.
