As we give a fond farewell to hateful bigot Kim Davis’s case, it’s important to remember the claim that gay marriage violates your religious beliefs has no actual basis in the Bible. If you think it does, please point it out to me.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the left so unified on an internal Democratic Party issue. Like every single elected leader from Kathy Hochul, Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg, to Bernie Sanders and AOC, to the rank-and-file left writ large. These senators are essentially pariahs.

Now that a democratic socialist has been elected we get to have the conversation all over again.
MAGA: You know his policies aren’t free. You pay for all of that.
Me: I know. I want my taxes to help others.
MAGA: Even junkies, and homeless people? Even criminals?
Me: Yes, even them. Especially them

Fortunately, I was able to verify my son’s safety after receiving this not-suspicious text message by walking upstairs and asking him how he could lose his phone in his own room and why he called me dad.

Yesterday my dissertation advisor casually mentioned during the weekly doctoral support meeting that she doesn’t put anything in folders on her PC and just relies on search. This is insane to me. How could you find anything? I have like 20 years of files saved. Does anyone else do this?

Hey guys, can we all just do a little pledge here that no matter what Marjorie Taylor Greene says or does between now and the election for whatever higher office she’s clearly gunning for, we won’t pull a Liz Cheney on her and start pretending none of her past actions matter?

The day care kids came to my house on Halloween! I didn’t get a pic of them (because they’re not my kids) but it was a magical moment. I dressed up in a white bunny suit and brought out my own actual bunny when I handed out the candy. Today, they dropped off this card. My heart is absolutely full.

Lol. Mamdani won by more than Cuomo and Sliwa’s vote totals combined. So even if Sliwa had dropped out and 100% of his votes went to Cuomo (which wouldn’t have happened, anyway) Cuomo still would have lost.

Former VP and Architect of the Iraq War Dick Cheney has died. In his honor, every American citizen gets to shoot 1 millionaire in the face. We outnumber them by about 15:1, so some of us will have to double up and shoot the same millionaire. Hope that’s ok.

I would like to have one day, just one single day, where the most powerful men on the planet don’t say the stupidest thing you’ve ever heard.

According to a Holocaust researcher, most LGBTQ+ people were reported by their own communities. Up to 1/3 were reported by friends and family. Most damningly, “I have not found one single instance of a straight person risking, helping, protecting a queer and trans person during this history”

I live in an SF neighborhood that doesn’t get much Halloween traffic. But every day the daycare sees me walking my dog and the kids love him. So the lady asked me if they could come visit tomorrow around 10:15 am. I’m so excited!! I can’t wait to see all the little costumes. House and dog for ref

Amazing stuff.

Hey quick question: Don’t all these national guard troops have, like, real jobs? Isn’t that the whole point of a reserve force? Don’t those jobs need them to do stuff?

I pick up one prescription from CVS and get 3 emails asking me to ‘Please tell us how we did.’ Have some self-respect, CVS, you filled a prescription. It was fine. This is unseemly.

Honest question: There was a confirmation hearing scheduled today for one of RFK’s grifters. If things are still happening in government that Trump wants, why can’t dems refuse to go along until they get concessions on reopening the govt? Trump mostly WANTS the govt shut down. It’s not hurting him.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst

100 former top prosecutors isn’t cool. You know what’s cool? 100 current top prosecutors.
More than 100 former top Justice Dept officials, including dozens of former prosecutors, file court brief opposing James Comey's prosecution:

"not the judgment of an impartial prosecutor, but rather an expression of retributive animus by the President"

Biscuit ran outside to bark at the neighbor’s dog who had the gall to be out of doors in the next yard over. I called him back and when I looked down, blood was all over the floor. The vet said he’d split his nail (yikes!). $1400 later he’s stoned out of his gourd in a soft cone showing blep.

Every day my father - 81 yrs old with declining faculties, sends me bat-sh*t crazy medical advice just like this. He confidently comments on everyone’s health and nutrition. He is a retired salesman and none of it is good advice, but he’s convinced it is because of ppl like RFK.
Pregnant Women, DON’T TAKE PARENTING ADVICE FROM A CONVICTED FELON WHO OWNED A TEENAGE BEAUTY PAGEANT AND HAS SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT TO HIDE THE FACT THAT HE WAS BEST FRIENDS WITH THE MOST NOTORIOUS CHILD RAPIST IN MODERN HISTORY.

The reliable thing about Bill Maher is that whenever you think he can’t get worse, he does.

Republicans have a problem with elevating past leaders to sainthood. Previous hero, Ronald Reagan, felt differently about tariffs than their current hero and they literally can’t reconcile the difference, so they cry foul or claim it’s AI.
