Right now I'm just trying to keep myself and my family alive until the day our country isn't run by people who in a normal world would be chain-smoking Marlboro Lights in the back of a bail-bond office.

I will be back here when I can be in this space without unleashing the intense rage that consumes me right now. I'm not going to contribute to making this into another Twitter.

Good to see you too. I need to come here more often. It's a lot calmer here.

When I see which people around me are doing Dry January, it makes me want to drink even harder.

He's a piece of work's piece of work. He's kind of hard to top, and yet some manage.

Best one I've seen in a while.

And THAT'S why they banned her diary.

I don't know why this is such a difficult concept for some writers.

Just another one of my periodic reminders that I'm not related to this asshole.

This flag speaks for so many of us right now.

Can Prince just come back to Earth and save us all?

Read 'em all.

I'll be damned if I'm going to celebrate Cinco de Mayo when Mexicans are afraid to celebrate publicly for fear of being imprisoned or deported.

Exactly. They were disciplined, and never lost sight of their goal. How many of us would do that today?

Hey MAGA, get in this guy's face and call him a weak, woke-ass beta male.

Go ahead, do it. Y'all are so tough and manly-talkin'. So go on. Do it.

Who's first?

Stop calling this shit "conservative." Conservatives believe in free markets. This is mercantilism, an economic policy that went out with the gold standard and that every free-market economist from Milton Friedman down the line has discredited. It's disingenuous, antiquated, and incredibly foolish.

Republicans: if you think the anger you are facing now is bad, wait till the impact of Trump's economic sabotage hits home.

You will not be able to hide from what's coming.

We need a multi-day general strike.

And why the smart people like Amit should be running things around here

Love this truth: “Americans are generally stupid, they need easy us vs. them markers.”

That's the best, but "camel chicken" has a nice ring to it too.

I'm working on it. Trying to wean myself off TwitterX and come here more often.

Still trying to get my Bluesky act together. It seems that old social media habits die harder than I anticipated.

I just realized that I signed up for this platform and haven't been here in over a month. I'll get it together eventually, folks.

I stayed up until 1am Saturday morning watching a twentysomething YouTuber and a man my age fight to a decision on a glitchy streaming platform. And yet I was still nowhere near gullible enough to vote for Donald Trump.
