What a miserable, wonderful, awful, and amazing game.

I wanted to write a parody called “Delta Blues Demon Hunter” but then I realized that that’s what Delta Blues has always been about

Watching CLE videos recorded before this Trump administration is funny and depressing. Like, all these dudes think there is a rule of law and that the Supreme Court would follow any rules other than craven deference.

"There is a moral of all human tales: 'Tis but the same rehearsal of the past, First Freedom, and then Glory; when that fails, Wealth, Vice, Corruption, barbarism at last. And History, with all her volumes vast, Hath but one page."

― Lord Byron, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage

Trump: I wish Ghislaine Maxwell well.

Swan: She’s a child sex trafficker.

Trump: Big deal... I do, I wish her well.

Crazy, but that’s how it goes.

In this house, K-Pop Demon Hunters is played on a daily rotation by group consensus.

Myth of the big, bad megacity What the right feels about metropoles isn’t physical fear. It’s discomfort

On this 4th of July, I worry for the USA, its citizens, & its residents.

Democracy & the commonweal are our cornerstones, and if we forget that we are responsible for ourselves AND for our neighbors, we will continue to lose those cornerstones.

God bless America, and may He have mercy on us, too.

The heatwave here in northern Europe is so bad that people are huddled together for cooling

This is a courageous and powerful statement from the actual scientists at the EPA:

"Under your leadership, Administrator Zeldin, this administration is recklessly undermining the EPA mission"

Support them.

They're doing their work under an unprecedentedly hostile government regime.

Trump wants to go back to the "Free Banking Era".
It was a disaster.

This is the first Father’s Day without my dad here on Earth. I miss him a lot, and if I’m lucky, I’ll do half as good a job as he did.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there, in this life and the next.

This seems like a great day to remind Bluesky that Stephen Miller lived four doors down from me freshman year

And our student council person asked him (and everyone) to sign a birthday card for our dorm’s janitor

And he threw a tantrum and wrote an op-ed about not socializing with “the help.”

A Congress with any self-respect would impeach and remove her just for this

Please note: Someone who grew up in Dalton (or Evergreen Park, or Berwyn, or Norridge, etc) is more “from Chicago” than someone who grew up in the Loop. I don’t know why, but that’s the truth.

Pope Leo XIV speaks out in support of Ukraine and against Russian imperialism.

As if MAGA didn’t already hate him…

Pope Leo XIV is a White Sox fan, continuing his support of the poor and marginalized

Hell yeah, Georgetown Law. Hold firms that collude with fascism to account.

Pope Francis has died, Vatican says in video statement Pope Francis, the first Latin American leader of the Roman Catholic Church, has died, the Vatican said in a video statement on Monday, ending an often turbulent reign marked by division and tension as he sought to overhaul the hidebound institution.

Pope Francis has died.

Requiescat in pace, Holy Father.

"Pope Francis skipped the Vatican’s official meeting with Vice President JD Vance Saturday, instead having his No. 2 give the vice president a lecture on compassion, according to a Vatican statement. Pope Francis was absent from Vance’s conversation with Cardinal Pietro Parolin. However, the statement said there was “an exchange of opinions on the international situation, especially regarding countries affected by war, political tensions and difficult humanitarian situations, with particular attention to migrants, refugees, and prisoners.”"

Imagine basing so much of your public identity on your adult conversion to Catholicism, only to be publicly dismissed by the actual Catholic hierarchy.

in his first ever appearance, superman beats up spousal abusers, halts an unjust execution and exposes government corruption.

i love how people think they *just now* made superheroes woke

superman, woke since 1938

Strength comes from Justice and from Mercy. Without them, a Christian is just a thug with cross-shaped jewelry.

Christians should be washing the feet of our brothers and sisters, as Christ did.

But we don’t. We wear crosses bearing the image of someone that many of us would happily crucify if the authorities tell us to.

BREAKING: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez has been released. This is the moment he reunited with his mom.

They way you all talk about immigrants is how you talk about me and my family.

When people defend the Trump administration’s fascism I know what they’re really saying about me and the people I love.
