Nothing quite says Y2K fashion like a long-sleeve shirt under a shirt-sleeve shirt.
Other than the hat, this whole outfit is pretty much exactly my current style. Not sure what to make of #OldSkies Fia wearing it... when she travels back to 2001.

There was a show called “Sex Sent Me to the ER” and the first episode had a guy who literally broke his penis and the first thing he says is “I’m in a Rockabilly band” and as soon as he said that I was like well yes of course

Every single time a young republican gets famous for being unfairly judged you look at what they did and it's always them being utterly fucking mediocre.

It's always them being embarrassingly shit at something and then pissing and moaning about being expected to have met any standards.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

I regret every joke I’ve made about how our elected officials were so old they didn’t know how to use a computer. I would give anything for another administration that doesn’t know how to use a computer

The fact doomers have gone from "America is over" to "Dems won't hold anyone responsible when this is over" can actually be read as an optimistic signal imo.

there are three great interlinked ills that are "why america is like this"

1) racism
2) capitalism
3) cars

They're like a hydra, they're all kinda interlinked.
I think I became convinced that most of the United States is an anti-human hellscape when I worked in refugee resettlement. Seeing that Afghan family who went from rural Kandahar to the Red Roof Inn off the interstate. The look on their faces when I dropped them off. Dark fucking shit.
Listen, I was there when the first afghans evacuees got off the plane at Dulles in late July 2021. But a few months later we had nice liberals in the community asking us if they could host a Ukrainian family. "What about Afghan or Congolese?"

"Oh, no thanks"

Racist fucking country, man

Think about all the evil assholes in this administration.

They *all* expect to die of old age, obscenely wealthy, surrounded by family, because that is how the US has allowed *every single previous evil asshole* to live after doing their atrocities.

They learned they will never be punished.

I like how they specifically said the 75 million is *not* an admission of guilt so I guess it’s just a bribe for no reason and they decided to put that in writing

British state logic;
One activist lost their shit and hit a police officer with a hammer, so that justifies declaring the entire organisation terrorists, suspending their legal rights and arresting over 2000 people for holding signs.
See? Logic.

Just like that. After a week of frantic diplomacy and U.S. threats against Ukraine, Putin rejects ANY agreement.

The only path forward is pressure on Russia to change this stance—sanctions and resumed US military assistance to Ukraine. Otherwise, the last 10 months were a waste.
