Don’t mind me just tracing the gyres. Talk about politics a lot but mostly want to talk about Stevie Wonder and August Wilson. She stay in the hills, he stay in Atlanta, I pay for them both.

1) What was the last art work that changed your life (can be music, movie, tv, painting, anything)?

2) What was the last thing you changed your mind on, big or small, and why?

3) Give me a song to listen to! And I will write a 1-3 skeet review of it.

I’m sorry he’s funny y’all. I understand that you can be too ontologically evil to be funny, but if you can move ontology to the periphery of your vision (which we / I do for very different reasons than his fans do — if we couldn’t laugh at massa we wouldn’t have made it — ) he is very funny!
Trump: "My friend, who is very successful, seriously overweight person, he takes the fat shot ... crude individual but smart as hell, made a lot of money ... I told him it wasn't working ... very well-known business person."

There was six lines that were begging to leave this poem and had been begging to leave the poem for months and I just now realized it. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. I feel like I just made a quantum leap forward in actually finishing this poem. Wow.

A discussion about why Minnesota was so ready to reject ICE/CBP:

"Number one is the rigorous focus on agency-oriented organizing practice, a north star of building multiracial, democratic governing power. We have a majoritarian orientation — we want progressive and popular power."

This is insanity

grok is elon musk correctly noting that chatbots were a new and poorly understood ideological battleground, the same way social media was at its inception, and attempting to seize the field for nazism, as he has also done with twitter

other facts about grok are unimportant. this is grok's primary purpose. other facts about grok are simply meant to convince people to use grok so that grok can promote ethnic resentments and conspiracies

Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them:

1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens

2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar

3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Ossoff: "They are building the libertarian, the conservatives' worst nightmare of a Leviathan federal government that is totally unaccountable that acts outside of the Constitution, and a society in which individual rights are not protected."

You know Just Fucking Saying It worked amazing for Trump for a decade, let’s give it a whirl ourselves and see what happens.
I've been saying in private that if the base had its way the 2028 DNC platform would be "we are going to fucking kill you" but I didn't expect anyone to actually run on it. I suspect this will be an important rhetorical experiment that guides how other candidates approach their messaging.
Fuck it. I am voting for Elliot Forhan.

Tbh I bought a car last year and if it wasn’t for DOGE and Elon’s Nazi-posting, very high chance it would have been a used model 3. I have a very lovely Kia instead, and thank goodness for that.

so to be clear a canadian nazi failson successfully directed the ethnic cleansing of a not very large town in Ohio
These are the Haitians attacked by Vance in 2024 at the urging of Canadian neo-Nazi Geoff Martin, aka "Captive Dreamer," who he appears to follow closely.

They're currently here legally. The admin is abruptly making them illegal, then removing them in a 1940s-style militarized cleansing campaign.

This account is part of the RICO case esp if any of the money goes to DHS.
Marco Rubio: "The oil proceeds are being deposited into an account that ultimately will become a US Treasury blocked account here in the US. We will say 'this is what this money can be spent on.' They will submit to us a budget request -- 'we want to use the money on these things.'"

this is a straightforward impeachable offense for trump, vance, rubio and every other person down the line who enabled it and the framers would have thought impeachment for it did not go nearly far enough

This isn't mine, and I can't definitively find the original source. But I love this little bit of wisdom:

"If you're a fifteen-minute walk from a coffee shop, but the server there has to drive an hour to get to work, you don't live in a walkable city. You live in a theme park."
For all the fearmongering about capital flight from New York City, there’s an exodus few want to talk about: working people.

Sky-high rents and outrageous child care costs are already pushing families out of the city they keep running.
 
That’s what we have to change.
