He looks like a dejected cabbage

I think he genuinely believes this stuff. He forgets he’s traditionally enemy #1 for his own audience

Celebrity encounter: I was pitching some crappy high concept comedy with Ben Stiller at Paramount, and for some reason did a Sean Connery impression.
And then Sean Connery stepped into the room, said hello to the exec we were pitching, and left.
Life is a strange tableau

I agree with this as long as one caveat applies: this will be the new normal. Democrats will stop things from getting worse but are not equipped to make things better

‘No longer’ is doing a lot of work here

I hope she pees on them and they have to go to the cleaners on their own

R/worldnews is having a normal one over the UN Gaza genocide report

Which seems insane. But historically this is all 100% predictable and the right move is to split immediately. I guess we’ll be cutting it close instead

(Leans forward, rests elbows on knees)
We moved to France before the election. Had to return for a spell. I’ve been in the U.S. for about 5 weeks. It’s a nonstop panic attack.
When we go back to France, we have at least two friends joining us. The question is when won’t we be allowed to leave

I might do that, but only to be irritating

He dislikes Pink Flamingos and regards it as little more than a remake of Multiple Maniacs

Interesting design choice to put ‘left’ at the summits. Makes it look like it’s beating the right every time

Not when it happens. You think “okay metric I guess? So…a kilo? No, half a kilo?” Then you try to do kilos into pounds and break into a flop sweat

AIPAC. Just put it in the headline

We don’t know that. Due process still exists in some scattered corners of the nation

So, how are the “when do we flee” conversations going?

I admit even my ironclad cynicism wasn’t prepared for this. They literally never put up a fight at all.

bluesky has once again taken down one of my posts for unacceptable content. No idea which one. They didn't say. But I'm outta here for an unknown interval. I'm sick of our ninny-ass culture of anonymous pearl-clutching

We're going to see a lot of this, and Democrats will do nothing to stop it

I've seen a couple of mine. Made me a fervent believer

White man here. I insist everyone treat me like a tiny sparrow egg because I am frail and delicate. If you do not, I will unleash Bewegungskrieg upon you

I’m considering a tee shirt that says ‘God dislikes homosexuals’ just to be on the safe side

I keep assembling posts about the current situation and deleting them. It’s preaching to the choir. If you’re reading me, you already know the situation

For context, the Nazis in Germany weren’t even this strident this early in the project. We are doing a speed run

If you still think the Democrats are going to save you,
