The dysentery wears you out and you sleep like the dead. Or you are dead.

I was going to say this is a man who has never had Currywurst or DΓΆner but his first name is FayΓ§al of all things, so I find it hard to believe.

The Iran War is costing $11,000 per SECOND but tell me again how we can't afford healthcare.

We're literally spending a billion dollars per day on murdering children but I'm supposed to believe we can't fix homelessness.

There is a time and a place for people who loudly quit an unjust system to expose inequities but it's probably not because you were so overworked trying to defend illegal deportations that you just wanted to sleep.

It is a weakness of our system that the murder of 160 schoolchildren does not result in an immediate dissolution of the government.

Is this arsenic green? I kind of love it.

Honestly, though, the best and smartest move would be to buy an identical pair of shoes in your size and wear them like they are the gift pair. This is not hard.

I would trust this kitten to make good choices for the world over anyone in Congress with an R next their name, and unfortunately a number of folks with a D as well.

Instead of spending $1 billion a day on the War in Iran, we could use that to invest in the American people, not more endless wars.

When asked to comment on the Iran War, Speaker Mike Johnson declined, saying this was the first he was hearing about it.

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.

People who oppose impeachment as β€œpointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.

"Well-functioning constitutional democratic republic"

Well, that's the problem right there.

Like ok not ALL Irish music is political, there's also "Ah shit, the fey" of course, but like, "tally-tally-whack-fol okay the English have stopped paying attention listen up boys" is maybe half of Irish folk music on its own.

maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living

A very handsome tuxedo kitty with wide eyes on a cat tree doubling as a bookcase, sitting next to a pile of books which includes Starter Villain by John Scalzi, Accident of Stars by Foz Meadows,  and God's of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia.

if the phrase "nitrogen fixing" means nothing to you, I promise you are wildly overestimating how well you'll do in a post-apocalypse

A Day in the Life of an Ensh*ttificator
A Day in the Life of an Ensh*ttificator YouTube video by ForbrukerrΓ₯det - Norwegian Consumer Council

"Make people dependent enough, and then make it shitty"

Still giggling at this hilarious video from the Norwegian Consumer Council "A Day in the Life of an Ensh*ttificator" which seems a perfect embodiment of Silicon Valley and tech generally these days

it feels like my country is an assembly line for producing crimes against humanity which no one will ever punish, or even bother to pretend caring about, and it's making me crazy

If hormones, or puberty blockers, were so dangerous, nobody would be allowed them.

That some people are and that trans kids can even, notionally at least, stay on them if already prescribed, tells you all you need to know.

The Trump era has given rise to this whole new emotion of being simultaneously angry over how evil something is and how stupid it is, which I'm sure the Germans have a word for but I don't.

It looks like the war on Iran is going about as poorly as the regime’s previous wars against Chicago, Minnesota and Los Angeles.

America, come on, it's a little on the nose to have DST steal an hour from everyone's morning and thus make International Women's Day the shortest day of the year.
