We're Taco Bell Quarterly and we're ready to fight. We're more prestigious than the Dandy and the Paris Review, who we are violently choking on our latest cover. Our acceptance rate is less than 1%. Check out Poem in the Shape of the Poet Beating Henry Kissinger to Death with Their Bare Hands

"Kendrick gave us what we needed. He was defiant, proud, vindictive, playful & celebratory. He was pro-Black & subversive, trolling & joyful, and through all the expectations and fighting and nastiness, he was ultimately victorious" - @daviddennisjr.bsky.social on Kendrick's #SuperBowl performance

the media has now more or less uniformly adopted the theory that the president is allowed to violate the law and constitution however much he wants to so long as he says he is going to do it in advance

i think people who complain about the language police are, by and large, just cowards. say whatever you want! no one is going to stop you. but people may judge you or even, if you say the wrong thing in front of the wrong person, pop you in the mouth. but that’s life!
