Look, I know, I'm not going to die on this hill. But that just means you will.

I for one hope I get an update on Luann's hole.

Wait, that came out wrong but you know what I mean.

I get that this is the least important part of this story, but I wish reporters would say: "that's not what the phrase 'begs the question' means" because misusing it like that makes you look unserious.

I mean, also Duffy is anti-antifa which means he's a fascist, but still. It's the little things.

They've done so many good sweaters for the Olympics! My partner knitted one for herself, and I borrow it occasionally. Cozy and fancy!

I know it's not real, but for a moment I tried to consider what anarcho-bidenism would look like and my brain broke. It's like a koan or whatever.

If you don't stop calling us fascists, we're going to have to use the full power of the state to investigate and punish all our political opponents.

1. Awesome! I'm getting my booster this weekend.

2. That's an amazing tattoo! I'm planning something similar (monochrome line / scrimshaw style octopus from my shoulder to my wrist). Do you have any reference art or other photos? I need more for my tattoo artist.

Can we say "requiescat in urina" instead?
