Your mistake has been thinking that people need to hear your thought exercise about how we're not truly fascist because "look at all the fun things we get to do"

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

If this Highlander remake isn't a fantastic fever dream with a Queen soundtrack, is it even a Highlander movie?

My love of snow has not changed since becoming a car owner. I relish cleaning snow off my car like I'm scratching a lottery ticket.
Chicago is gorgeous when covered with a fresh coat of snow.

We don't need a Joe Rogan to reach out to normal ass white dudes when we've already got a perfectly good Senator Chris Murphy.
Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Not to replace substance with message but I genuinely do not think that the GOP establishment is prepared, nor capable, of regulating itself in a world where all high profile democrats are directly staring into a camera and telling Trump to go fuck himself.

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

I had mentioned this earlier that it was stuck on with cardstock. It's not there for decor. He forgets where he is.

If Swisher says, "stop punching, he's already down" you know it's true.
I am no fan of Ackman, but this is how to respond to loss with some level of grace and we should let him rather than constantly dunk

The takeaway from the GOP will not be that they are unpopular.
The takeaway will be, and has been for some time, that too many people vote.

I thought this was the Onion but it was the onion and mustard.
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

I saw Gavin Newsom crawling around outside, biting people’s feet, and saying “I’m the Pac Man of toes.” If you don’t vote for him I don’t know what to tell you.

Nothing proves my '90s cred like being able to get a broken light bulb out with a potato and being utterly disappointed in Tim Allen.

I’ve been thinking about how hard the founding fathers cooked with the Third Amendment.
Imagine being forced to house ICE. I can’t imagine they wash their hands. They’ve never done laundry in their lives. They’d break your stuff if you didn’t cut the crusts off their sandwiches.

Honestly, the only answer to angry young men is to teach them shame and wait for it to stick. Might take generations.
