I saw a Facebook video yesterday of The Bulwark's Jonathan V. Last narrating the RFK, Jr & Kid Rock video that was actually pretty funny. At the time, it wasn't on their youtube or other socials, so I didn't share it here.

I conveniently put it in within quotation marks on my first response.

Oh, a Democratic Party. I thought you were using Frank Luntz's fake, made up name for them for a second there. πŸ˜€

The feint at libertarianism was only ever a cover for the most craven boot lickers and racists to to pretend to be something else because it was incredibly uncool to admit being that. The MAGA GOP has given let them leeway to just embrace that that's who they are.

Reading? Young dorks? I don't think they do that anymore.

That makes sense since there is no "Democrat Party". I bet that neither The Silly Party nor the Sensible Party had tents either.

Which I think is also part of the case for "they let Epstein kill himself".

Okay #NOLAsky, I get that we’re trying to raise revenue through parking enforcement, but having the meter off across Duncan Plaza from City Hall, where everybody has to go, and ticketing down the row is a messsssss

Things I achieved on my first unpaid furlough day as a contractor to the city of New Orleans:
1. Lovely croissant and cold brew at Levee Baking Co.
2. Annual vet check up and rabies shot for my senior dachshund.
3. Some car maintenance.

It's safe to say this day was a big financial loss. πŸ˜€

Nice country you got there. Be a shame if something happened to it.

David Attenborough voice: as Mardi Gras season comes to an end and a hot springtime takes shape, watch the majestic herds of pedicabs as they migrate out of Uptown and back to their traditional hunting grounds in the French Quarter.

Donald Trump is so tired he falls asleep mid sentence these days, but that doesn't stop his subordinates from keeping on keeping on.

A multicolored quilt made of of scraps with the words WE KNOW WHAT WE SAW staggered down it with a large beautiful eye centered between the words. The eye has a rainbow camera aperture as the iris. It is quilted densely.

Another resistance quilt finished this week. The eye is my own design, the letters are a fpp pattern by QuiltByNight, the rounded corners and black binding are meant to resemble the phones we the people are using to document the horrors and disprove the government’s lies about what they are doing.

I should have placed my first Kalshi bet on how many racists stroked out in the first 30 seconds of the #superbowlhalftimeshow. lol.

I, too, would rather throw myself down a mountain than drink Bud Light.

If you ever felt like you needed to wonder if the person in wrap around Oakleys was a complete douche, Meta has taken care of that for you.

"Weight loss solutions I have a financial interest in. GLP-1s from RO." would be a more accurate commercial.

The children of our elite already don't serve in the military in nearly the numbers they should, so this is...just fine and good. 😑

"Look, man, I'm as okay with their everyday racism and persecution of minorities as any other Republican. How do you think I stay in the senate? But this makes even me a little uncomfortable. Can we get back to sending people to foreign gulags and be less divisive?"
