Speaking of the 90s, I was today years old learning Wes Borland plays a four string guitar on Nookie. Clearly seen on their Lollapalooza ‘21 video that I had missed previously. 🤯

I frequently wear other colors but always feel most at peace in black head to toe and this perfectly encompasses why

I truly was a young child thru my first teen year, but it’s so odd to think back to just how *normal* the 90s were and how life has never been the same since 🥲
Dwelling on the happiness then, I’m pretty sure Columbine was the first thing that absolutely fucked my young mind

I haven’t read the cartoons in a while. They are particularly brutal this week. Nice collection here, not going to share each individual one. Personal favorites are the civil war & “gun’s fault”.

Miller is less than a year older than me so why did he miss this? I certainly learned it!
He's talking about this as if it's self-evidently bad, but everyone my age grew up learning that this was exactly what made this country uniquely good
Translated "it's fine if they're slaves or indentured servants"

When a federal judge says the fed’s immigration enforcement efforts outweigh all citizen’s life, liberty and pursuit of happiness… plaintiffs “have made a strong showing [it] has had [and will have] profound and even heartbreaking, consequences” but just lets it keep going… we’re all fucked.

We’ve all seen the six degrees from Kevin Bacon challenge. Has anyone started that for degrees from Epstein for the rich & famous? Seems like we may not even need six at this rate.

Fuck. I hadn’t looked into it yet because I needed time but one of our 2022 Mayo trips we got lunch at a joint on the exact street about a mile up from where Alex Pretti was killed. Thought it sounded familiar. Hate when shit becomes that much more personal but it makes it more powerful.

I know you can be criminally charged for abusing 911, is there anything similar for the court system? Like imagine if we all sued for billions every time our feelings were hurt. They’d grind to a halt. You only ever hear of one person doing such a petty thing over & over.

I swear can the engineers of this app not make it remember where in your tl you were when you left like 🐦 could? I open up something else for five minutes, come back, and it refreshes me back to the newest skeet not what I was reading hours old. I still go chronologically most of the time.

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

I know that if one of the ICE agents who shot and killed Alex Pretti were injured and brought in to the same hospital where Alex worked . . . the nurses there would still care for that officer as if they were from their own family. Because that's what nurses do.
And, that's the whole difference.

So-called federal agents standing in the street enforcing local ordinances about pedestrian in the roadway etc is a clue they want this violence. They are creating it. They are killing people to feed their angry supporters & outrage everyone else. That’s it. That’s their point
