“quite the character” - my mother
calling all sexy jewesses! sisters - it is time to cabal up & use our cosmic tatas to space-laser-blast these losers’ scrota clean off — dong, sack, even anus & taint. leave them with the diabolical ghost itch of inaccessible pleasures & the hot-garbage stink of their own wretched company. dayenu.

Hoppin on socials for the sole purpose of sharing this French translation of a bit from Old Baby with @mariabamford.bsky.social: “Un gros pâté! Un gros pâté!”

For fun, I tried other translations, including Romanian and Swedish (see screenshots).

There was no translation in German, which tracks?

I’ve never seen Sunday in the Park with George, but the recording just came on. 1st — Steven fucking Sondheim, you bastard 😭. Second — from the few songs I’ve listened to (Mandy Patinkin & Bernadette Peters!), you really need two “Georges” for such a romance to work. And women need to be free.

They’re saying from each according to his ability — and I have the best ability, a soldier came up to me and told me, tears in his eyes, she said “you saved America, sir,” she said, cold day, she had these rosy cheeks, unlike Rosie O’Donnell, no ability — to each, to each according to his needs.

this is the BEST idea for holiday gifts!!!
I’ve wanted to brag about my Christmas gift last year and here’s my chance.

I got the whole family matching magazine subs! Adults got Southern Cultures, OA, Bitter Southerner, The Sun, & New Yorker. Kid got Lux, Oyla, and later we added The Onion.

We always have stuff to talk about!
I got out of the habit of reading magazines bc of the social pressure of writers reading what's trendy/popular or frankly expected of you.

This year, I've dedicated myself back to reading magazines and I'm truly having the time of my life.

I’ve simply lived too long & too much to let people restate my position as their “critique” of what I just said. You can issue as many compassionate “agree to disagrees” as you want. I will keep saying, “yes that’s what I said” until we both die of thirst, starvation or embarrassment. I do not care

The notion that those who took part in slavery or conquest were merely abiding by the moral standards of their time necessary excludes those they targeted and kidnapped from those standards; *they* were never confused about this. But other white people were frequently disgusted by this stuff too!
Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.

Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

LOL oh wow the anti-vaxxers are mad that RFK Jr is saying Tylenol causes autism instead of vaccines. “We didn’t wait 20 years for Bobby to finally speak and then get served Tylenol as an answer.”
Anti-vaccine groups melt down over reports RFK Jr. to link autism to Tylenol
“THIS WAS NOT CAUSED BY TYLENOL” Kennedy’s anti-vaccine group retweeted.

this is it right here. @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social succinctly explaining how establishment media yields to bad faith politics again and again. (have been thinking all day about how the paradox of tolerance works as a test of journalistic and ethical integrity.)
“A democratic society needs people in Ezra Klein’s position to treat Charlie Kirk’s anti-democracy stances as disqualifying, rather than pretend they’re just another policy opinion…”

it seems like “liberal” dems - esp white guys - have gone full bimbo. they’re publicly playing dumb to win the approval of terrible (violent) men.

10 years ago liberal podcasters at least pretended to understand the paradox of intolerance. now they’re like, “point well-made, angel of death! 🥰😍💦”
