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.

A lot of y’all’s brains are cooked from arguing with people on social media.

“Liberals” are not a bigger threat to you than right-wingers, they just yelled at you on social media more.

“Leftists” are not a bigger threat to you than right-wingers, they just yelled at you on social media more.

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

Don’t get too excited about Paxton. Yes he’s a dreadful candidate but Texas Republicans have an extremely high ceiling. There is a very high risk of him getting in and doing crazy shit. He would definitely vote for American enabling acts.

Anyway, bf pointed out that they’re definitely gonna do another movie of The Wiz with Cynthia in the Lena Horne role. I think it is 100% accurate tho I think they will wait twenty years for it. I also think Jennifer Hudson should be Evileen in that movie.

Also just realized today that the implication is Glinda learned to read the Grimorie bc how else did Dorothy get home?

So the biggest movie of the year is a libbed-out anti-Trump musical comedy starring about girl power in which the romantic leads (besides the two women in romantic “friendship”) are a gay man and a Black bisexual woman who’s dating Lena Waithe.

Mark Kelly was a really bad choice to target. Comey and Tish James were bad choices. The astronaut whose wife was shot by a right wing lunatic is very much even worse.

I think Democrats should double down on trans rights now. It's obvious that most voters don't care about it so you might as well stick with your principles and goad Republicans into focusing on it at the expense of everything else so they're the ones who look like freaks.

this dumb shit is what i mean when i say this is a purely aesthetic “politics.” yeah man, why can’t we have a fusion of cosmopolitan social democracy and revanchist hierarchies of wealth and privilege? tough question.
Matt Stoller: “..Trump & Mamdani defeated establishment in their own way, representing hunger of voters on the right & left who want something different. If those sides cd come together.. that would be a sea change in how we organize our political economy”.

THIS PART RIGHT HERE.

I always think of Woman Thou Art Loosed and Juanita Bynum and all these lonely horny women who were told one million ways to change themselves and not a damn thing was said to make more worthwhile husbands while everybody tryna be a Proverbs 31 wife.
It’s wild to see the response to the “male loneliness epidemic” cause when it was women who were lonely we were told to work on ourselves and the right man would come along. We were told all types of ways to make ourselves appealing to men.

Obsolete cables is rude lmao. I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

One fascinating and yet expected thing is that none of the big foreign accounts pretending to be American are left of center, or even anti-Trump. Not a single one. Says something about the economics and geopolitics of political grifting
If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Does anybody wanna read my grad school application poems (and maybe the personal statement?). You don’t have to like know a lot about poetry or anything, just read and say if you particularly liked or hated any of the poems.

if you ask the average person to choose between every person in the country having a decent living, and themselves being fabulously wealthy... I'm sorry to say that most people are going to choose the latter.
