I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

"real change doesn't happen in the voting booth" is in fact a fascist belief
Even when operating under the belief that the Democratic Party is fully complicit in the fascist agenda and will never enact the desired policies, election results are a useful signal *to everyone else*
Abstention cannot be disambiguated between "not good enough" and "the status quo is acceptable"

This whole thing is incredible, but look how his hand is shaking when he points at the guys who are being hassled. He's scared, he's angry, he's pounding with adrenaline, but he's maintaining control of himself and not backing down. He's taking a stand, whatever the cost.

People act like all the men are gone. The men are attending protests. The men are putting together scooters for their kids. The men are getting a set of turntables for the first time. The men are buying Nikes. The men are getting super into noir. They're not Nazis and they're fine. Keep your freaks.

Reminder: We spent YEARS reading thousands and thousands of articles on the Tea Party and how it was a true expression of the American people's will, and it never mounted anything nearly as big as Saturday's No Kings rallies. [1/3]

Given the times and what Redford looked like, the amount of heinous shit he could've gotten away with is unfathomable, but he spent his career being respectful and professional

I think one of the better, more subtle tributes to Robert Redford's life is the string of utterly iconic female co-stars who've come forward to eulogize him; each of them take-no-shit types like Fonda and Streisand, and every one of them without a single bad thing to say. A model for male behavior

There are lots of great things to be said about Robert Redford - which is more than you can say about a lot of folks - and they're all very important. But none of them are as momentous as the fact that he was so, so, so, so, so hot.
Calling peoples' employers in a rage because their tributes to Robert Redford weren't horny enough

My brother did not ask me to do this, nor did he know I was going to, but I made him a mashed potato volcano for his birthday.
The number of potatoes this required was shocking but otherwise it was relatively simple to do. A side effect is a freezer full of leftover mashed potatoes.

When you start a sentence with "Last time I left and filed for divorce..." probably things aren't going too well.

Beth is the best. I've known them for years and they are so smart, so thoughtful, and so caring. They also understand literally everything about technology, and we need more people in Congress of whom that's true.
I am running for Congress to fight for our country. I’m not here to be polite – I am here to stand up for the working class. Together we’ll prove what should’ve been obvious all along: trans people aren’t political props - we’re leaders.

Per the interview with the Seattle Times he spent a year sailing the boat on shorter trips, so it's merely "you're crazy and you might get yourself killed" instead of "interesting way to commit suicide you've got there."
