Andrew Sullivan

He is pretty big tho

The thing about Molina’s music and his life as far as I know is that he was always “trying” just like I am trying and you are trying. “Trying” is the truest and most overwhelming and all encompassing condition of the addict but it’s also a lie we’re all in on.

THE WHOLE PLACE IS DARK

Rep. Clay Higgins & @RepClayHiggins You millennial leftists who never lived one day under nuclear threat can now reflect upon your woke sky. You made quite a non-binary fuss to save the world from intercontinental ballistic tweets. 2:22 PM • 2/27/22

reflect upon your woke sky from this non-binary fuss, millennial leftists

Being polite. The world is full of raging assholes (especially since we were locked in for covid, pretending happy hours in drawers on zoom was fine) and saying please and thank you and meaning it goes sooo far these days.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people local newspaper reporters are rarified elites instead of ink-stained wretches driving their Honda Civic to a crime scene so you know don’t have to rely on Nextdoor and the police press release.

Excuse me what

Jemele Hill is exactly right. The time to kill this nonsense is right now.

Rush Limbaugh has been five years sober! Congrats to him!

if you have really strong opinions about this it’s okay to admit, perhaps out loud to god and one other person, that your life has become unmanageable

You’re allowed to do the music you know

I know folks gets mad when I say the American right kinda ceded sports to the left but that has been the trend for years now. Your Republican dad watches the game but right wing influencers are telling young guys sports are beta nonsense.

RFK Jr eye fucking a spine

RFK Jr looking at this human spine like the hungriest man on the planet

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

Nothing like copying the same speech from the wormy Managing Editor in S5 of The Wire

Happy Marmot Day

As tensions build with Canada, many young Republicans are expressing concern about their future ability to visit their girlfriends.

The NRA has been nothing more than a grift to take money from suckers so they can buy politicians for fun manufacturers for decades. So it is truly priceless to see them respond to the government executing people in the streets by basically saying ‘Jokes on you assholes, we’re with the jackboots.’

Please read this dispatch from Minneapolis by @erikhane.bsky.social

Yes this is what policing is in this country. The difference is, and it's minor, is that cops still have to go through the motions of maybe getting in trouble when they kill before getting off later. These guys kill someone and the administration goes on TV and says fuck you they deserved it the end

This looks and sounds like a letter read aloud in a Wes Anderson movie by one of his precocious boys or broken men

The Nobel Peace Prize becoming so prestigious that wars are fought over a head of state coveting it is some real monkey paw stuff for Alfred Nobel.

Look at this absolute queen

Go smuck urself

Algorithms Are Killing Democracy To beat back the billionaire-fueled fascist tide, we must first have a shared reality.

I think @dustyschmidt.bsky.social had an easy-to-understand explanation of how algorithms are weaponized against democracy and why we can't ignore it: badfaithtimes.com/untitled-7/

Aaron Rupar post: Schumer as a major American metro is being brutally occupied by Trump goons: "The affordability crisis will be our focus throughout 2026 because that's what the American people are demanding"

if you try to focus on Trump’s authoritarianism, Schumer will deflect and say people want us to focus on affordability. but when Zohran Mamdani made affordability the heart of his campaign Schumer refused to endorse him because they disagree about Israel. it’s all mealy mouthed bullshit.

I guess one clarifying aspect of the regime's occupation of Minneapolis is that *no one* is coming to save us. No elected officials will protect you against the lawless thugs marauding around your streets. They won't even pretend to offer help.

They will hold indignant press conferences though.

I kind of want to write a sci-fi novel where Obama does all of this, and the good, strong people of the red states have to resist the invasion of Federal forces. Not to make any sort of point. I just think it would make a lot of money, and I like money.
