The Nicest of the Damned

Imagine getting excited about a Firefly revival in the year of our lord 2026.

Gonna get that as a birthday present to myself

I wish this quote wasn’t still so relevant

I say this as someone who has voted for you for most of my adult life. But we're at a turning point in our country, and I'm looking hard at who gets my vote in June!

@repkweisimfume.bsky.social Sir, I live, work, and vote in your district. Every day, I see and hear about ICE terrorizing our community. How have you leveraged your power and influence as a Congressman to mitigate the harm they're doing to our neighbors?

My grandpa was a clown (though technically that was mostly volunteer work for pediatric wards & hospitals)

If you smell toast, you might be having a stroke... a stroke of luck that is. It’s toast time.

I gave someone advice today by quoting a Koan. I think I crossed some kind of metaphysical threshold.

MRFF President and Founder Mikey Weinstein, a veteran of the Air Force and the Reagan White House, told me that since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran early Saturday morning, the MRFF has been “inundated” with similar complaints: These calls have one damn thing in freaking common; our MRFF clients [service members who seek MRFF aid] report the unrestricted euphoria of their commanders and command chains as to how this new “biblically-sanctioned” war is clearly the undeniable sign of the expeditious approach of the fundamentalist Christian “End Times" as vividly described in the New Testament Book of Revelation. Many of their commanders are especially delighted with how graphic this battle will be zeroing in on how bloody all of this must become in order to fulfill and be in 100% accordance with fundamentalist Christian end of the world eschatology.

Well, that's bad

I tried Googling this to learn more and...

BREAKING: Today Bernie Sanders is proposing new legislation to raise $4.4 trillion in taxes from America’s billionaires — a move that would virtually cut their massive fortunes in half.

A chunk of the money raised would go toward sending a $3K stimulus check to every person earning under $150K.

Hahaha, nah, he's from Southern Maryland. He's just stone cold cool.

Quote from Washington Times editorial board "[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

"death to israel" -> antisemitic hatred

"death to the united states and israel" -> inclusive, woke

The very cool dad I met through my daughter uses 🤙 instead of 👍 or 👌 in his texts, and I have tried using it, but it's giving me imposter syndrome. I am I cool enough for this??

The NYT style guide

The Scrubs reboot does a good job of recreating the original vibe *as I remember it,* which is more valuable to me than actually recreating the original show, which is about 10x more misogynistic and homophobic than any of us want to admit.

Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote: "The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same."

Once again.

People really struggling with the idea that the Iranian government sucks but we shouldn't be bombing them can both be true, eh?

I know it’s almost impossible to say this on Bluesky without getting a strike, but if you seriously cared about peace in the Middle East, it’s Israeli leadership that you need to remove — ideally by an international legal process — while keeping the US from destabilizing it even further.
