Less worried about claims of rapture (again?) than I am about the anti-christ. The current American administration checks a LOT of those boxes.

My main observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence and calling for calm while MAGA are escalating language and openly lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.

I've decided to move to LA to be in the movies. I'm going to be a stunt-double. For porn.

I admit I don't tune in every week, but I love the show. Its the first show I descrobe when touting the benefits of the free form structure and WFMU in particular. The world's a better place with Miracle Nutrition.

You can tell this is fake. If this were made by the dreaded 'liberals' then the ones with the whips wouldn't be so traditionally gendered.

On one hand, I'm happy to see the posts of records currently on people's record players. On the other hand, I'm surprised by how many people are listening to some tired-ass shit

DEI is not just an attempt to undo the unjust exclusions and prejudice of the past. It's a re-training of the privileged brain to understand that it is not superior. Case in point: Pete Hegseth. His ONLY 'qualification' for the job is his whiteness. And, OBVIOUSLY, white โ‰  better. He's a dolt.

OTD 2 years ago in OK, I chased the most incredible storm of my life. I documented 8 tornadoes, including two sets of twins and the widest tornado I've seen (1.3 miles). The structure and lightning was unlike anything I had seen. It was a true behemoth of the plains. Real time clip:

No matter what your political stance, a truly free country will never look or function exactly how you think it should.

If the value of Musk's companies continues to plummet until he is no longer the richest man on earth, does he switch places at the White House with the new richest man? More importantly, will it be a peaceful transition of oligarchy?

I did, yes, I think. Not sure if it was the same tour, but I saw him speak after a movie and his reading of one of his books. I almost asked a question, but he picked someone else then said to me that I should have raised my hand with more authority.

I got a lot of books for my birthday. I can't help but feel like people want me to go keep myself busy while they have fun without me.

You've voted to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos by voting for this bill.
