Ahahahaha welcome to the madness! (And Yama Budo is one of the prettiest inks of all time ever!)

Erin I am so tired of the randos who are apparently activated by any mention of any abusive shitty man anywhere to crawl out and say FRANKEN WAS GREAT ACTUALLY

dear god. He was not and also y’all weirdos are fucking exhausting with this.

There are things I loved at the time about Firefly, and Mal's bitch-ass attitude towards Inara was none of those things. (Now, it's all in the land of memory and not the land of "I should rewatch this thing any time soon")

A basket of plastic whistles, pastel rainbow colored, catching a hint of a sunbeam.

This morning’s whistle batch feels like a good match for the finally feeling like fucking spring vibe.

Is the whistle crew going to be onboarding again soon? I’m starting to worry that even with my extreme extrovert housemate helping with distribution we may oversaturate the local demand!

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

[Exit Murderer.]

ending her career lying about an orwell quote while the entire room is getting news notifications about how she’s been fired and clearly doesn’t know it, perfect

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

It's not a bad faith attack to note that Platner has no record, hasn't served in public office, and had a large Nazi SS tattoo on his chest for 16 years.

I've now printed and shipped over 20,000 whistles, sent across the country to groups that need em. That's 20,000 off a single 3d printer that has basically run continuously in my basement since about mid-January. The crew I print with has sent out over 1M now, and we can send to you too. toot.supply

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

North Carolina, we're officially on the road to November 3rd.

There’s no doubt — we’ve got our work cut out for us. But North Carolinians have always given me hope and that’s what’s going to get us across the finish line.

Is this enough of a wakeup call for Ds to be ready for Nov?

The shenanigans will taking place around the country because the Rs do not want to give up power. They lose, the investigations begin.

Ken Paxton is the sleaziest operator out there. But he won't be the only one.

I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.

I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.

Feels relevant that both Fetterman and Platner were/are downwardly mobile sons of the white upper-middle class. That can nurture a distinctly different bundle of resentments than are usually found in products of working or middle class households.

I have solar which covers most (but not all) of our usage, and I thought my panels had gone offline -- but no, they're working fine. Between rate hikes and cold weather, I'm seeing people talking about bills in the 500, 700, even 1000 range.

Can the Green New Deal please come back to democratic discourse? it’s the perfect time!

Right now “AIPAC” is the Left’s “Soros.” It just is. You’re assigning way too much power to these people. Even locally they’re not that important.

A folk logic about it is starting to develop. People may not understand the monopolies and geopolitics of renewable energy at a gradual level. But they can see data centers, hear data centers, and read their electric bill statements. They are angry.

"I can't believe they let them make this movie" - in reference to some movie from 30+ years ago.

The reason they did it was because there were more studios. We had "mini majors." They needed to stand out somehow, so they took more weird chances.

This is one reason we need to break up the studios.

Motor vehicle fatality rate in U.S. by year - Wikipedia

The moral panic over ebikes while motor vehicle fatalities have shot up over the last 15 years…is annoying.

In the US,

32,479 traffic fatalities in 2011.

42,795 motor vehicle fatalities in 2022.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_v...

One of the heartening things to see out of e.g. Minnesota has been a renaissance of the ethos of “an injury to one is an injury to all” because yeah, for a while a certain sort of Discourse™️ was effectively reifying difference and essentially saying “yes you are right to think this won’t affect you”

If you haven't voted yet, remember tomorrow is PRIMARY ELECTION DAY in North Carolina. #ncpolhttps://www.politicsnc.com/p/primary-races?

dammit, my non-dick rainbow whistles are halfway through printing, I can't just stop them now to add extra bonus dicks!!!!

I am a veteran with a son who currently serves. I don't blame her one fucking bit. But I damn sure have a shit ton of smoke for those who pushed out Joe Biden, sat at home, voted third party, STILL protesting Harris and the folks who flat out told those canvassing they can't vote for a woman. So

YouTube video by John Prine - Topic Your Flag Decal Won't Get You into Heaven Anymore

Your flag decal won't get you into Heaven anymore
They're already overcrowded from your dirty little war
Now, Jesus don't like killin', no matter what the reason's for
And your flag decal won't get you into Heaven anymore.

I used to say we needed truth and reconciliation, but it’s clear we need full deMAGAfication and many criminals will need to go to jail

Also as a people, we need to fix our hearts or die

a constant in American politics is that voters prefer candidates who do things, even if they might be the wrong things, over those who do nothing
