I was chatting with a game designer friend of mine one time and when I mentioned some of your work he said, “oh, are you talking about Hazel? She’s amazing!”

Mostly bc I don’t trust myself to just up and quit drinking without some sort of replacement substance. Wish I had better resolve than that, but I know myself too well.

I wish I could do this right now, but I’m still applying to a handful of jobs that would require getting some kind of secret clearance. So that pretty much rules out weed for me until I can get a more permanent job with more lax rules around that.

Trump: we will do project 2025
Harris: he will do project 2025
Public: oh that’s bad

Last year, CNN ran a “fact check” of Kamala HQ that claimed we were lying for saying Trump’s plan is Project 2025.

Now Trump is outright admitting it’s his plan.

Legacy media failed the country.

But for some reason, our media doesn't want to talk about it like that. Our political class, which considers things like "if you like your insurance you can keep it" to be five-alarm whoppers, acts like Trump has a mandate for Project 2025 and it must be respected.

Again: it polled at FOUR PERCENT.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated'

The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. Convincing colleagues to vote with them is the literal job of politicians - if they can’t do that, they can’t do their jobs. They own this shutdown and all of the consequences.

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband.

Today they attacked two journalists.

We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

Kinda hard to say there's a reason to keep the government open if there really isn't one I guess. It's Trumps piggy bank and he spends our money as he sees fit. Pretty sharp lines on that one.

This is all he said?! This is why ABC (in response to threats from Trump's FCC) is taking Kimmel off the air?!

Meanwhile, "many in Maga-land are working very hard to capitalize on the murder of Charlie Kirk" On Monday, JD Vance, who once called Trump
"America's Hitler",
, hosted Kirk's podcast from the
White House and blamed the left, without evidence. Said Vance: "While our side of the aisle certainly has its crazies, it is a statistical fact that most of the lunatics in American politics today are proud members of the far left."
"And by 'statistical fact',
' he means 'complete
bullshit'" Kimmel corrected. In fact, the Department of Justice removed from its website a study finding that violence from far-right groups is the greatest source of domestic terror and extremist violence in the US. "Here's a question JD Vance might be able to answer: who wanted to hang the guy who was vice president before you?" Kimmel said. "Was that the liberal left? Or the toothless army who stormed the Capitol on January 6."
"The president and his henchmen are doing their best to tan the flames, so they can I guess attack people on the dangerous left," Kimmel added, noting the incongruence with the right's former vision of so-called "snowflake" liberals. "Which is it?" he wondered. "Are they a bunch of sissy pickleball players because they're too scared to get hit by tennis balls? Or are they a well-organized army of commandos? Because they can't be both."

The Free Speech President has now pulled two of the three major late night hosts off the air through threats and intimidation because of their jokes. Obviously I’m behind Jimmy Kimmel 100% in the face of this fascist garbage. Speech against this admin isn’t just being chilled, they’re freezing it.

/6 Also: if a Left-wing activist even remotely as strident as Charlie Kirk had been assassinated, Charlie Kirk would have smirked and applauded, as would have many of the people who are going to be loudest about Charlie Kirk. Don’t buy the hypocrisy.
