There are no mistakes in Blood Meridian

The longest, coldest winter I can recall here in Virginia.

And now it's linen shirt weather and there's a wasp banging its head against the window.

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

My mother is Jewish. My dad is a from a Presbyterian family in Appalachian Alabama. I've always been a spiritual mutt. I've done my best to honor my whole heritage.

Israel has done something the antisemites never could: ruined my spiritual connection to Judaism.

And I hate it for that.

This will affect the price of everything. Add to it 90k jobs lost vs the expected 50k added. Already stubborn inflation and low consumer confidence, and we're looking at trouble.

The top 10% wealthiest households were already doing 80% of consumer spending. People are using BNPL for groceries now

There's no such thing as a narco-terrorist. It's just an empty buzzword. It means nothing.

Nobody is selling drugs to terrorize their ideological opponents.

Except maybe the US government.

Anyone remember???

He is hoping for an attack. That's his plan. That's his strategy.

Best wishes for the people affected by this monstrous fire in Glasgow Scotland. 💔

Holy shit. Crude oil futures going nuts tonight.

The motto of the modern tech industry is "You can just do things to people"

Well, this aged exactly how I was afraid it would

You can quit anything.

No matter how impossible it seems. No matter how bound up in who you are it appears to be.

Anything. Anything at all.

I do have to give her points for calling it the North of Ireland though (rather than Northern Ireland)

Man, I've been asked about my position on American politics in Ireland a lot.

Never once felt uncomfortable about it.

Conscript ICE.

Tit guys will literally produce academic studies to prove they're more evolved.

And then get jealous of their kids over breast feeding.

Y'all could really just go to therapy. Work on that whole childhood mamary fixation thing.

In Christian eschatology, Antichrist, or in broader eschatology, Anti-Messiah, refers to a kind of entity prophesied by the Bible to oppose Jesus Christ and falsely substitute himself as a savior in Christ's place before the Second Coming.[1] The term Antichrist (including one plural form)[2] is found four times in the New Testament, solely in the First and Second Epistle of John.[2] Antichrist is announced as one "who denies the Father and the Son."[2

The Christian fundamentalists believe Trump is the antichrist. They installed him deliberately to bring about the second coming.

That's why our soldiers are receiving apocalypse doctrine.

The war on Iran is unfolding alongside a wave of mass layoffs in the US. These are not separate crises. They are two sides of the same offensive by the ruling class against the working class.

Virginia made a terrible mistake with SB974 which removed planning commission's authority to reject development plans and shortened public input periods.

Supposedly intended to increase affordable housing, this legislation will be badly exploited by developers at the expense of town character

Today there was a dead cat in the grass across the street. Another down the road.

Tonight a small rabbit shot across my car. It's eye was an ember caught on the wind.

An old friend called, told me he nearly died a year ago, then asked after my soul. I didn't have an answer. Not really.

They're not suppressing the Epstein files to keep people from knowing that he's guilty.

They're suppressing them because they're not ready for everyone to know that it doesn't matter — they've seized power and have no intention of giving it back. His crimes are immaterial to them.

I really like Noah Kahan.

His music is not "country." Having an acoustic guitar and a mention of natural features does not make something "country."

At least twangpop was trying to be country. Now y'all are just slapping branding stickers on shit all willynilly to sell your identity.

It's gross

Seems a good time to revive this thread.

The world has since lost Manchán. And what a loss.

I'd like to add to the list Joshua Burnside. I stumbled upon his album The Teeth of Time last autumn and am obsessed.

My house gets messy, but we're pretty good about not letting it get dirty.

I cannot say the same for my car. Disgusting. Absolutely awful.

Higher likelihood he just sent it to DoD or DHS without Congressional authority/appropriation and it's already spent.

And so the season of the tree sperm begins.

Massie on Newsmax: "We're not getting the answers we need from Pam Bondi. I just spent 3 hours at the DOJ this week looking at the unredacted files. And I'm finding evidence of files they haven't released yet." (Note that the Newsmax anchor agrees with him!)
