The roses aren’t quite as handsome as they are during summer but they’re still blooming.

Once the threat moved from Soviet communism to right-wing authoritarianism we seem to have stopped being motivated to fuck with hostile regimes in the same way. And now we have one here.

The Mariners are my favorite sports team, I embrace the misery they have brought me with my whole heart, but I cannot watch them in the postseason. I watched the first game, they lost. Tuned in for game 4 when they were up and then they immediately collapsed. I am doing this for them.

True praxis takes the form of an RPG fired at a helicopter hovering over a residential neighborhood, these laser boys simply cannot claim to be the vanguard of the uprising!

So that makes at least 4 J6ers creeping on PDX ICE protests.

Fulfer, David Medina, Katie Daviscourt & Quincey Franklin.

It's been surreal watching them all code switch to calling anti-ICE protestors "insurrectionists" as soon as they realized it was the magic police state button.

Far-right asshole Josh Fulfer, who called for vehicular assaults on Portland protestors, has come up from California & is filming on the ground tonight.

This makes me wonder what Trump thinks heaven is like. The answer might have something to do with him not making the cut.

The one near me is the only TJ’s I’ve ever been to that has a parking garage that appears designed for normal cars. I think it’s because it’s in a mixed use building with other retail tenants and they didn’t design it.

Trader Joe's Exec1: we'll sell lots of really good stuff at good prices

Exec2: that doesn't sound at all evil. We're a big company, we're supposed to be evil

Founder1: we are going to have the most inadequate, cramped, badly designed parking lots in the fucking world

Founder2: ok that works

I don’t think we should be gassing up people who live in Portland like this. You’re going to get so much bad art out of that.

That is my favorite film of all time.

Sonja, are you scared of dying?

Scared is the wrong word. I'm frightened of it.

That's an interesting distinction.

Fireworks and screaming outside. Lots of wooing.

I like but I still need some insurance runs to feel at ease.
