I feel better already.

It is inaccurate to state as a fact that “tarriffs were intended to incentivize self-sufficiency.” Trump said T’fs were punishment and replacement for taxes.

I’m having a slow work day—the crowd flare thing mercifully didn’t interrupt my therapy sessions (which are all online) but I graduated one client (yay) and someone else moved session (fine) so I am taking it easy and reading things and watching C drama.

Put on a taped story. That’s what I do.

IKR? Can’t one of them just say “what the fuck, man, what a bullshit thing to say.”

I may not like Massie’s politics (I don’t) but damn I love his straightforward, ”fuck them sideways” approach to press conferences.

Upvoting for Giles but for NO OTHER REASON.

It’s more light than heat here, or more shine than depth. I prefer LGM for a real discussion. But its nice to keep up with stuff that other people are reading here.

Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing it!

Congratulations! This looks fascinating.

Hi my buddy! I don’t know what I‘m doing here but I suppose I am avoiding work. Like your nym.

Just sick to my stomach over this. Its just obscene.

Fuck this fucker. Honestly—he is one of the most evil people around. I have detested him for years.

What a lovely, thoughtful, moral take on the Epstein-whatever-you-call it. No wonder that Tony Perkins is considered the epitome of Christian moral thought.

Yes I agree with you. Anthropologists call the women who help us care for our children our “allomothers” and I am still very close with the lovely Brazilian woman who helped look after mine 30 years later. We call each other up and visit now when we have cancer :( and our children are still close.

That onion thing is very, very, old folk medicine.

Oh I think he should be banned from public life—no pierogies, for a start. He can join Alan Dershowitz in the abuser tent.

My Senator!

I agree with Dr. Mar. Its not a choice we have to make. We are not supporting MTG or forgiving her when we say “let them both fight.” We should keep up the pressure on both her and Trump by reminding everyone of every disgusting thing they ever did. Her words aren’t meant for us anyway.

I agree—its shocking how indifferent producers and financiers are to the everyday, out and out, racism against POC.

”the right way” strikes again. Ezra Klein was beforehand.

Yeet.

If any normal person did this and wrote about it they’d be sectioned.

Oh yes and a separate “masculine” style for some vaguely Buddhist rosaries as well. Black and silver with dedications for “financial success” or something.

I will never forget how abysmal that drama was. The scene where he invites her to a state dinner that looks like it has been thrown together by the local Holiday inn and there are no french translators and she has to speak french for him? Badly?

Blew my mind.

He’s joking. Jesus Christ doesn’t anybody speak Jewish sarcasm here?

I thought that passage was a joke. It wasn’t?

I think people are oddly misreading Raskin—is his humor too NY for you guys? This is a massive fuck you to MTG and her fans. It is stone cold.

I think it’s different to see videos of important people raping girls than it is to hear about it. And I think Trump is protecting a lot of people, not just himself, because all of them paid to support him.
