Saw Thunderbolts last night and it has replaced Winter Soldier as my #1 Marvel movie. I canโ€™t wait to talk about it when every thought I have wonโ€™t be a major spoiler.

I just spent an hour at the DMV and it was absolutely PACKED, but everyone was being patient and polite. The two dudes who met in the line behind me compared notes about the best AA meetings because one guy was new to town and didnโ€™t like the one he tried.

These are the moments that give me hope.

In person: The LA Kings winning the 2014 Stanley Cup in Game 5, after playing all 7 games in each of the previous 3 rounds. The team was so exhausted and banged up that they were playing by sheer force of will.

TV: Freddie Freeman's walk off grand slam in Game 1 of the World Series last year.

i do not think the mainstream press is equipped or capable of covering ideological white nationalists and eugenicists as such, or even capable of noting that this is what they are. it is related to the wide belief that racism is simply a matter of manners.

One of my friends just described the current shitshow as โ€œKafka meets Noises Offโ€ and it might be the most accurate description Iโ€™ve heard to date.

Charles Koch and Leonard Leo just filed one!

You know when the surviving Koch brother has turned on the monster he created that things have really gone off the rails.

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record

A lot of people could learn from the example of local L.A. legend Jeremy Frisch, when, in an open community meeting hosted by the LAPD in the wake of the George Floyd protests, ended his comment with, "Suck my dick and choke on it. I yield my time, FUCK YOU."
