Why am I working so hard on this
I teach, I used to do research
Sometimes I post things here
You would think cops would have the common sense to frame a Black guy or a Muslim instead of a photogenic white guy like Luigi Mangione

In Wiles's defense, we have no idea of the quantity and variety of psychoactive drugs she has to take on a daily basis to keep from slitting her own throat with a shard of glass, and she may have thought she was muttering to herself

In case anyone was wondering, Big Star's "September Gurls" is the pick of the litter and there aren't really any other forgotten classics on either #1 Record or Radio City. I mean, they're not bad albums, they're just, you know, serviceable.

Are these dogs the same breed? One I know for sure is a Swedish Vallhund, the other, I'm not sure.

I wish Fred Eaglesmith had put the recording of York Road from Paradiso on a cd

Has anyone heard if Zeldin has gotten to the bottom of Chem Trails yet?

Of all possible distracting hobbies, the one I am most grateful at having avoided developing a passion for is fantasy football

Once you realize TrumpCoin is a great way to launder money, and a good way to shake down drug lords for protection money is to disrupt their supply lines, killing people in small boats makes more sense

Like trusting Mueller and the DOJ would actually *do* something about Trump's corruption, our faith that the military will uphold the Constitution might in fact be somewhat misguided.

Heard some people discussing occupation of the Left Bank and I honestly couldn't tell if they were talking about tear-jerker one-hit wonder pop songs from the 60s, civil unrest in Paris, or oppression of Palestinians

We live in weird times

The next Democrat president should change Trump's portrait to a Warhol-esque painting of a box of Depends and see if the GOP thinks that is amusing

I don't regret giving up research, but I do miss that sweet sweet institutional access to the literature that comes with being affiliated with a research university

I hope Delta, American, and United are happy, because everyone hates them anyway

Every time I hear Hegseth I am stunned he's got such a whiny weak voice.
Add a dose of propaganda to your morning coffee.. This smells of Russian-like “special operation”

With all the shit that's happening it's important to remember that even if there's no way to stop the Nazis from destroying democracy, they're not going to be able to enjoy their victory for very long before global warming destroys civilization

It would be *awesome* if Trump finishes his ballroom just as the next pandemic gets started, and he has his first event, everyone attending gets infected, and the end scene is like when the colony collapses in 28 Weeks Later.

This is awful, but every minute they waste on something totally irrelevant and useless is a minute they can't spend on something that would be destructive because these are not competent people capable of multi-tasking

Plus it's hysterically funny they are doing this
EPA Commissioner Lee Zeldin announces his agency is launching a major investigation into the right-wing conspiracies about chemtrails and weather manipulation to get to the bottom of it.

Surprised that Jake from State Farm is still Black

Feel like Aaron Goldsmith, Rick Rizz, and Gary Hill Jr. are allowed to call Raleigh the Big Dumper, but not the Fox Sports people. It's a Seattle thing.

I'm not saying Vought is collaborating with evil reptilian space aliens, he simply looks like he would be totally down to collaborate with evil reptilian space aliens
