"Tiger Woods is dating Donald Trump Jr.'s ex-wife, who kept Trump as her last name," I say. Forty-thousand bees descend on me instantly, killing me in seconds. That was the magic sentence, it turns out. The relief is immense.

i think even telling about this as part of The Aristocrats would be seen as too far.

Please give to food banks, whatever you can. Also, if you’re able, GIVE THEM CASH! The same $10 you spend on pantry items is worth nearly double in their hands.

Have a good Halloween friends.

it's a pretty classic authoritarian "feature"
and yeah, it's less about government minders listening to every conversation to make sure you don't disapprove of the government and more like the neighborhood thin-skinned jackass being a bully because he can.

this is how it worked in USSR: your neighbors and your coworkers who had more access to state power than you did would routinely use it against you to settle personal matters. were you insufficiently polite to some jackass? now your children's school admission may be in jeopardy.or your spouse's job

COUNT I

Kat Abughazaleh did, while law enforcement was in heated pursuit, paint what appeared to be the entrance to a cave on a sheer rock wall, causing law enforcement to forcibly bonk into said wall.

COUNT II

The same thing on a different wall, but then a train came out and ran us over???

We live in an episode of Veep

Part of the reason that it's hard to "adult" right now is that most of what you're expected to do in "adulting" is activity to set up a stable future.

But most of us have felt for a long time that stability is a lie being told to us with enough "one in a lifetime" disasters every 6 months...

Congress basically doesn’t exist at this point

Imagine being 17, your little brother by your side, begging to speak to your dad as he’s dragged away. You may never see him again. And this is every day. Soul shattering, nightmarish stuff, never to be forgiven.

The president announces an arbitrary price hike on Americans because his feelings are hurt by an ad accurately quoting Ronald Reagan’s criticism of tariffs

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

i wonder what it says about a country that pays its military but doesn't take care of its people's needs for basics like food and shelter

*screams*

“Speaker Johnson, can you name the planet upon which we all live?”

“I’m afraid I’m not familiar with that particular celestial orb, so no, I cannot.”

“…”

“Of course, I’d be happy to talk about all the posts on Adelita Grijalva’s TikTok account.”

It's really OK to change your mind when new facts are presented. It really is.

Some of you are not seeing the potential silver lining of a structurally unsound ballroom filled with members of the Trump administration.

future grandchild: like shit, from an ass?

$40 billion to Argentina’s right-wing government.

The entire USAID budget was $34 billion.

My biggest frustration with my fellow white males is that: once all the brown people are deported, once all women are forced to give birth to babies they don’t want, once all of their supposed enemies are sufficiently put away… their life will still be the same and they will still be unhappy.

all these seemed the strange calm things preluding some riotous and desperate scene
