What’s absolutely the best about this night is that he did it by talking about what people really care about AND supporting the people moderates say we have to abandon.

One Battle After Another is a masterpiece because it captures the essence of what’s going on. All these people - these awful, sad, evil people out here doing this bad shit - are, at their core, pathetic, hilarious losers. They’re comic villains parading as tough guys.

Seconding this! Brianna's work is great and you should buy some!
I am the proud owner of multiple Brianna Ashby originals. They're very affordable and look fantastic on your wall.
It’s time for another round of Sell Some Prints, Pay The Rent!
If I sell just 10 prints a day for the next few days I’ll be a very happy, and much relieved, girl. Any more than that and maybe I’ll buy myself a sandwich.

My first grown-up job w/ a PR agency in NYC. We found out she had been pocketing our insurance payments but not paying the insurance company ... which was discovered when our office assistant went to the doctor. We had to threaten to sue to get paid back. The company went under a month later.

Someone needs to primary this guy as soon as possible. What good are representatives if they won’t even stand up in a time of such peril? I’d say to call his office, but sadly feel like that’s not going to do the trick here.

We don’t yet know what this means for the regime’s nuclear work or ambitions, but it absolutely means that the regime has been further weakened - which is good for those who want peace. 🧵👇🏼

“I tried to play tennis against a wall. That fucker was relentless.”
Everyone has one Mitch Hedberg joke stashed in their brain like a squirrel to sustain them whenever they need to feel joy for 30 seconds and mine is “they say the recipe for Sprite is Lemon and Lime but I tried to make it at home, there’s more to it than that”

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations.
When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

Tonight I sat by a 66 year old man at an MLS match who shared loudly that he just read The Diary of Anne Frank for the first time and “really enjoyed it.” Was also “shocked” to learn that she died. So thrilled we’re currently gutting education standards across the country

It’s almost like he never understood the righteousness of forgiving student debt and only did the bare minimum when he thought it would buy votes. True colors showing more with every final day he’s in office
“The Biden administration is officially withdrawing its sweeping proposals to cancel student debt for tens of millions of Americans, effectively closing the door on mass loan forgiveness in the waning days of Joe Biden’s presidency.”
Oh they’re just asking for a full revolt at this point
