I don’t think the people who didn’t vote “because Palestine” are evil, but I do think they are so incredibly ignorant that they don’t matter. This is the big payoff they sat on their hands for: the complete displacement and colonization of Palestine. They are fools, easily fooled by colonizers.

Spoiler: Food deserts are because of Reagan. The Biden administration was in the process of fixing it, but now that the USA has elected Trump, probably not.

I must brag. Last night during our traditional NYE family scrabble tournament, I played a 3-letter word worth 42 points. Still didn’t win, but that was the highest points for smallest word I’ve ever played. Zip, in the corner for triple word score.

When in the process of naming a pet something silly, keep in mind that you will be saying that name multiple times per day for the foreseeable future, and probably yelling it across the entire neighborhood. I say “Frito” a lot.

On this solstice, I delight in the fact that it is inevitable and out of our control. The sun is returning and the days will get longer, there is no way for voters or Republicans or even Trump to fuck this one up. Welcome back, sun!

I saw an idea that Joe should resign so that Kamala Harris can be on the books as the first woman president and also Trump’s pre-ordered 47 merch would be ruined. I love this idea so much and it will never happen. Imagine the executive orders she could sign that Trump would be forced to undo.
