In the spirit of mercy
A lot of us are harboring very dark thoughts about what we should do with people in the MAGA orbit, relishing ideas of punishment. But this brushes with the very kind of sadism we oppose
Think not of dungeons or death row nor torture
Instead, let's find appropriate justice

An excerpt from Sophie Gilbert’s review of the new Melania movie:
"Melania shows off her custom-made inauguration gown, stark white with black ribbons overlaying it, a dress that now looks unavoidably like the redacted Epstein files."

I rode the bus to work today and there were a bunch of high school students that were apparently having a protest today (they were carrying their signs). When the bus let them off, a lot of the adult riders were clapping and cheering the kids on. It was a cool scene.

One for the Road, the live album released by The Kinks in 1980 is seriously underrated. I wore this out on vinyl and cassette from listening so often.

There is beauty in this world. Watching this video now.
Later on, I'll go patrol my kid's school at dismissal time to try to keep the kids safe from their own fucking goddamn government amid reports of *increased* ICE activity.
Some drawdown.

Ages ago they filmed one in the town of Mendocino, with Bette Davis. They occupied the commercial center so completely that people coming in for business were immediately hired as extras, picked up a fifty dollar check just going to the post office or cafe
They’re filming a horror movie a few miles down the road from me.
Not even kidding.
