You can cut at least 70% of text from Moby Dick and convert it to graphic novel form without losing anything of narrative or literary value.

It’s for continuing politics by other means. No, I will not be considering the context or Clausewitz’s tendency to play counterpoints off against each other to try and make the reader actually think about the concepts he’s explaining.

Someone needs to talk to him about ancient Egyptian mythology, I bet the rambling rant about how his heart is lighter than a feather would be hilarious.

Cursing is rarely a symbol of low class. It's often a mark of high authenticity.

Evidence: Swearing predicts higher rates of honesty and integrity. It signals a willingness to prize candor over courtesy.

A little profanity can show that you're being real and you do give a damn.

ICE having to fight a multi-front war against angry Chicago Catholics, every taco truck within 100 miles of LA, and the Greater Portland Polycule is just one more way this timeline is nucking futs.

Cover of the classic children's book Frog And Toad Are Friends.

Drawing of Toad, a brown toad, sitting on a bench, dressed in a green jacket and slacks. He is reading a book to his friend Frog, a green frog dressed in a brown jacket and slacks. They are surrounded by green plants and mushrooms. There is a silver Caldecott Medal in the corner.

Text has been altered from original. It reads
Fiftieth Anniversary
Frog and Toad Are Antifa

That’s their official messaging platform, operationally they’re doing government via DMs in Truth Social that sometimes accidentally get sent as posts by a sundowning POTUS.

You have to go after all of them, you can’t create a framework of “the constitution only matters for things we want to do.”

“I will pay the troops directly, so that they’ll act as a praetorian guard under the wise and steady command of an alcoholic war crimes aficionado” is certainly a choice one can make, let’s see how it works out for them.
