I teach English and Social Studies at an alternative high school. I like obscure European horror movies from the 70s and 80s. Not an exploitation film star from Mexico.

Watching MAGA, I now understand how Jonestown could have happened.
Reading the takes of Dem strategists telling Harris to ditch every message that's connecting with voters, I now understand how New Coke could have happened.

it is a movement of grifters. They HATE working, thats the whole point of everything.
One thing clear in the Trumpworld meltdown about running against Harris:
They’re lazy fucks. They don’t want to work. They thought they had Joe figured out & it turns out they have to deal with stuff that may take some effort.
So they’re bawling like babies who just dropped their ice cream cones.

if you’re trying to engage with politically disconnected people about project 2025, identify a specific part that you think will resonate with them. i just told my friend who’s a public school teacher about the plan to abolish the department of education and that got her hooked.

Whatever your feelings about the Trump shooting, it’s worth pointing out that if a Secret Service team can’t protect a presidential candidate, maybe expecting Mrs. Krabappel to protect her 4th grade students from an active shooter is unrealistic.

what are we doing here? he accidentally said million instead of billion and then immediately knew it and corrected himself. he didn’t “flub a line” and then “make an effort to correct himself,” he did the speaking equivalent of a typo that you know you’ve made and instantly correct

Compare this to when Trump says something like “we’re gonna catch Goofy and execute him for his crimes folks” and people in the press go “Mr. Trump seemingly analogized criminals to a Disney character as he called for harsher legal penalties”

The thing with these guys is they view communications media (speech, fiction, film, TV series, drama, you name it) as data transmission and nothing more. The Great Gatsby is a list of events and characters and if you can cut that down to 500 words, you're maximizing something.
I can’t think of a clever caption for this. It just breaks my fucking heart.

It’s a good thing Elon took over Twitter so that the public can be confident that it will remain strictly neutral politically.
