Nasty, brutish, and short. “We need in every community a group of angelic troublemakers. The only weapon we have is our bodies, and we need to tuck them in places so wheels don’t turn.” - Bayard Rustin https://www.etsy.com/shop/dustonmyboots

Jesus. Increasingly feeling like a bullet was dodged, here. Thanks for taking your shirt off, @grahamformaine.bsky.social, you fuckin' fraud.

my partner just came across this on x

platner was working for eric prince as recently as 2018.

during that same time they were also working w/project veritas on infiltrating liberal institutions

“grown in a lab” theory looking more and more likely

Run for school trustee or dogcatcher instead. Show his bona fides before you invite him back to the big stage. Right now he looks like a fraud.

The fact that he was in the military (or specifically a mercenary army) was the red flag that should've eliminated him. Surely the Dems can do better than someone who chose to be a Blackwater employee?

I have one of those shampoo bottles in my bathroom now! Mine looks way more beat up, though. Been a long 45 years!

Beyond chuffed at this review from a buyer on Etsy. Going to add "make all customers go bananas" to my list of professional goals.

What's the over on his annoyed sigh at the start? 15 seconds?

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

Sage advice, spotted on Reddit:

"Do not fucking bet on NHL games."

/r/Habs @habsonreddit.bsky.social · 1d

The Habs have been called for the last 5 consecutive penalties vs the Oilers.

NHL refs are beyond terrible.

It wouldn't surprise me if this was arranged between Trump's team and Doug. And of course he paid $75m in public funds to air those ads, too.

I used to think he was cool. Embarrassed by thar, now.

Do Brits not get “wind chill” calculations included with their forecasts? They’re a must here in Canada.

My favourite is, “The mainstream media isn’t even covering this!” when you can easily find Times or Post articles about it. There’s a egocentrism to everything these days - “a story I care about is being ignored” or “I don’t care, so nobody else does either”.

It’s the lack of *wanting to* that worries me. People are happy to cede their creativity and critical thinking skills because they want the head pat of a good grade.

Spotted on Reddit: "I'm sorry if you have the totenkopf on your body for twenty fucking years without realizing what it means you are not equipped to handle the rising tide of fascism."

"Enhanced security features". Why does it feel like a future government is going to have to tear down the fucking ballroom because those are security flaws, not features?

Just in time for Halloween; Platner took his costume off too early.

The Immortal Doom @doomforpresident.bsky.social · 2d

Also Platner is not a poor white uneducated hillbilly! He’s the prep-school educated son of a lawyer and a restaurant owner. His grandfather was a world-famous architect. He went to George Washington University. He’s no more salt of the earth than Fetterman was, it’s a fucking costume.

My local Chinese grocery deep discounts fruit that’s going bad. For some reason, they also do this with persimmons. They’re not only ready to eat and perfectly bletted, they’re cheap as fuck.

If you can afford it, a *monetary* donation (it goes a lot farther!) to your local food bank would be a most excellent thing to do right now.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.
