Robbins: We’ve had dark ages in the past.
Marshall: Does it feel like a dark age to you?
Robbins: It’s starting to feel that way more and more, but my porchlight is burning night and day.

Witness the deep and mighty power of Canadian songwriting.
You ever think about how there was only 1 to 2 months between the actual wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and Gordon Lightfoot recording his song.
And how weird and slightly deranged it would be if someone had dropped a banger about a contemporary disaster on its heels.

Once I told a teacher I didn’t have my algebra homework because the gales of November came early. She failed me, which was very disrespectful to the sailors lost that day.

did a quick illustration for a paid gig and hopefully can squeeze a few videos out of filming the process, but drew a random girliepop for the demo/speedpaint and actually love how it came out!

Anything critical. The forehead is basically a whiteboard for battlefield medics. If you don't have one, there's probably not much point in recording anything.

The grass is long dead now, just dirt and scrub and the occasional hardy desert plant. But across the street there's an abandoned police station. There's a flagpole in front, and they've got an artfully tattered Arizona flag they keep hoisted on there.

It's sad that people don't get to really *savor* the aspects of a well-aged irritation with Schumer and other NY/CA Dems, and keep going for the ready-mix haterade instead.
I’m genuinely confused reading this article what is being alleged to have happened. I assumed backchannel talks were happening with leadership’s approval, but none of what’s in the screenshots seems like Schumer dictating something that got heroically rejected by the caucus?

The writer apparently believes that if you just put together a noun, a verb, and “Chuck Schumer,” the audience’s Pavlovian response will go off and they’ll be outraged.

Good thread. 👇
Keep repeating this: thin-skinned personalist leaders surround themselves with incompetent sycophants who tell them what they want to hear. So they lose touch with reality. And crises spiral out of control because none of his goons want to tell him bad news. 1

1/ Donald Trump's reasons for his firing of the head of the US Bureau of Labor Statistics are an ominous echo of a notorious concept from Stalinist Russia and Nazi Germany: that of scapegoating individuals or groups as economic "wreckers" or "saboteurs". ⬇️

in the same sense is that Nazism was an attempt to construct a universe in which the war propaganda of WWI was true, Trumpism can be understood as an attempt to construct the reality which Fox describes. in that reality, every recipient of food stamps is a jobless Black woman with nine kids & a Dem.
It’s shit like this that makes me think the GOP doesn’t care about winning elections and they’re just not planning on having them. Because no one who thinks they have to win elections does this.
They're going to the highest court in the land to avoid feeding children.

Funny to see the cycle of the GOP breaking our confidence until we turn to the Dems, who earn back enough that we let the GOP break it again.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.
