Getting a lot of new followers because I went on a posting spree and got added to an Israel Watchers list. A lot of my posts are not about Israel - I'm a trans Israeli nerd and I post about all three of those things. Just a warning. Here's a meme. Watch Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
Nobody talks about Matt Gaetz's work helping young Americans get healthcare.
A sitting congressman paid for a homeless teenager’s braces in exchange for sex
The woman whom the House Ethics Committee determined Matt Gaetz paid for sex when she was 17 years old was living in a homeless shelter, working at McDonald's, and needed the money for braces www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

The American people voted in 2024 under the understanding they were bringing Epstein back

This year being as fuck stupid as it is I don't know if I should have expected "The Epstein files exonerate Clinton" but that is immensely 2025 coded in its stupidity.

The number one question you should ask on social media is "would this joke be funny if a man in a suit and sunglasses was reading this to me while I am held in a dimly lit room"
I'll remind you that the quote was "I want to shoot the author of this article just to watch him die."

Just because it seems like you forgot in your attempt to reformulate justifiable "wishings of harm".

Apparently the CDPR CEO regrets making Witcher 2 a structurally insane game, but I'm looking at the Cyberpunk 2077 where people are discussing what the plot of the game actually *was* and having an intelligent conversation about it, so I hope CDPR never stop getting experimental.

I want Sarah McBride and Pete Buttigieg to do a video where they cook something. I feel like that would be the single greatest event in getting people to fedpost in history.

I do mean cooking, I'm sure one of the two of them knows at least one recipe. Just have them do an inoffensive activity.

The thing about the current crisis which Trinity pointed out perfectly is that none of it had to happen. Not a single one of these awful things would happen if people had voted better.
Nine of the stuff currently happening in America would he happening if y'all had voted for democrats.

I mean, no Dem would try to out a 107 percent tarriff on fucking Italian made pasta.

“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.

This is basically what I've been saying. It's hard to negotiate when the other side is just gunning people down because lol lmao. There is no real lever of pressure to apply in the face of sheer nihilism.

What in the actual fuck is wrong with you, dude? Do you get off on being this dishonest?

If someone says "when I was growing up, I had suicidal thoughts, thank god I never acted on them" you'd respond "HOLY SHIT YOU HATE YOURSELF TO THIS DAY"

Fix your soul.

If you're queer and never struggled with the hope of maybe not dealing with the amount of shit that comes with it, you have lived a wondrous life but please recognize that is not the rest of us.
Pete Buttigieg said that as a teenager and young man in the late 90s and early 00s, before gay marriage was legal, before congress overturned DADT, and having grown up Catholic, he struggled with internalized homophobia and wished he was different before coming to accept himself. That's not evil.
sadly, thats not what our boy Pete said, was it.

he said if he had the power to make it so, he would have violently carved out the person Chasten fell in love with, in the hopes more important people would have liked him better.

not unprecedented in politics, mind, but most dont say it in public.

Schumer just dog walked both GOP and you, and both you and they are mad about it.

Now Democrats get another round of news stories about how Republicans refuse to negotiate and are making everything worse, *and* can now safely retreat to better asks.

An unmitigated win.

But you're still mad.
At least Chuck Schumer embarrassed himself for nothing.
REPUBLICANS REJECT DEMOCRATS' OFFER TO END SHUTDOWN: GOP AIDE

I genuinely hate "it's not left or right" rhetoric. The right did this. The left didn't try to push a wannabe dictator on America. The left isn't currently trying to starve poor Americans
No, I'm pretty sure it's still left vs. right, Democrat vs. Republican. The Republicans did this, the right-wingers did this
It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican. It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong. Millions are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up. The sleeping giant of America is roaring.

JCO strikes at the heart of what truly bothers me about these billionaires, more than anything else. When is the last time we saw joy from Elon Musk, JKR, or any of them? George RR Martin, a wealthy non-billionaire, makes his weird train sets and loves football and travels, but them?
My theory about Joyce Carol Oates is that all her bad posts are her charging up like Godzilla's spines until she lets loose with a radioactive blast that leaves the world's richest Nazi a pile of ash

Misread this, thought "I don't know *anyone* this old, all the rabbis I know are from the current era" and my brain just did not question the premise it had come up with for way too long.
If you know anyone who works on medieval Judaism, please send them this! Binghamton is hiring a Talmud/Rabbinics assistant prof: half in Judaic Studies, half in the Med/Ren center. A killer R1 job for the right person, and not a ton of applicants so far....

Rewatching 30 Rock and I feel like Tracy Morgan and Jack McBrayer are an absolutely underrated comedic duo. That is some all-timer comic chemistry that just sorta got forgotten.
