Democrats could nominate Jesus Christ and he'd be too Christian, too Jewish, and too Palestinian depending on what level you sit at in the Dems big tent
don't nominate newsom if you want to win, it's that easy
I'm sure you'll get a slightly more comfortable oven than I do because your politics remained pure, dickhead

I said Dems couldn't get Jesus Christ nominated because he's simultaneously too Christian, too Jewish, and too Palestinian.

Like “bad” art is so pure actually. In its lack of technical “skill” or expertise or whatever its just a pure expression of the need to create and express its beautiful
It is!! I love so much tacky naff art. I have a collection of tacky teapots precisely because they are these bold things someone made despite all “good taste” and such. Bad art is almost one of the truest purest innocent forms of human expression

This whole ep from @muz4now.com is amazing, but I love the way the 2nd track, Cosmic Crust Theory, in particular transitions from haunting to hopeful and then braids the themes together like the Fates weaving our lives into eternity.

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.
