it's genuinely fascinating to me that "you cannot facilitate a genocide against a people and still expect their vote" is too advanced for some analysts to understand.

I ran into Ted Nugent at a Bronco Graveyard in Michigan when I was a teenager.
He was giving signed bumper stickers to the folks who worked there.
He offered one to me, but I didn't take it because I didn't realize he was Ted Nugent and I didn't like the bumper sticker.

In America, where irony is dead, a hotel chain uses a policy denying shelter to local people, for fear of accidentally housing homeless persons…
To deny a reservation to the author of a much-lauded book on how American economic unfairness forces working people into homelessness.

A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.
When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.
This is outrageous.

This year, man.
I lost a family member and had the worst depressive episode of my life.
The simple things have been so hard, but so meaningful.
Getting the xmas tree up was a battle. But I did it.
I thought I'd never write again. I'm back at it.
Grateful to the point of tears for all of it.

I've taken many calls from white males who believe they've been discriminated against at work for their race/sex.
The number of these calls that are so fucking stupid easily rounds up to "all of them."

Not on X because the law school I attended was a right-run platform and . . . I'm good.
Should I find a need, there's no shortage of chuckle-headed fucks out there to tell me what to do with my body or insist I'm too nice/sweet/pretty to be an attorney (and would do better in a supporting role).

the unstated assumption of Yglesias saying that we need to be with the Nazis for Discourse Reasons is a presumed interest in finding common ground with or convincing Nazis to stop being Nazis.
i'll just say that is not how i, personally, am interested in solving the Nazi problem.

They legit had this up on the TVs at the IOP I went to.
I saw it out of the corner of my eye, then straight-on, and there was no turning back. Laughed like a maniac.
