He's a good boy. We watch each other poop. I am as proud of him when he goes potty as Ms Rachel.

He is a very good boy and I kiss his face when I come home.

Don't get me wrong, I love @davidsirota.com but I have always thought he's missing a trick with the Plasmatics.

⭕️ Israel’s “Disco Room” Torture

Defense for Children International – Palestine has documented the ordeal of three boys from Gaza— ages 16 and 17 — who were abducted by Israeli forces while trying to reach food and then tortured inside Israel’s Sde Teiman military camp.

All three were seized...

Trump is a problem, but Trump isn't *the* problem. Nathan J all the way back in 2016:

Unless the Democrats Run Sanders, A Trump Nomination Means a Trump Presidency
Democrats need to seriously and pragmatically assess their strategy for defeating Trump. A Clinton run would be disastrous; Bernie Sanders is their only hope.

I hate cats, I don't want cats, I only like dogs, I never wanted a cat.

My big knucklehead orange cat dude is the exception.

He can chill on my chest when I'm lying down.

But I don't like cats. Except for him and his brother. And the little stray black tabby girl.

But I don't like cats.

Dogs are people.

Very few people rise to the moral rectitude and unironic joy of dogs.

When I come home, we're kisses and hugs and snuggles.

I want to be more like dogs and less like people.

Jimmy is a distinguished gentleman. An erudite boy. And he ate his dinner like a good boy. We are very proud of him.

Portland has spent billions on housing, with very little to show for it. Let's stop reinventing the wheel and instead learn from the successes and failures of other cities around the world to create something that actually works for Portland.

What does it mean to circle the drain?

Well... once you really get flushed down the drain, it means that you have no solutions other than violence. Don't get me wrong, you are truly shit if you embrace violence, but ask yourself who removed all other options.

People do things.

I think transgender stuff is a little weird. I strongly suspect most fan and/or business conventions are a solidly bad idea.

But people do things. They wouldn't do them if they didn't feel called to do them.

It was liberals - now called "centrists" in both parties - who passed the laws giving presidents the powers now used against them. The centrists aimed to use that power against leftists. Ironically the far right now uses it against the centrists. - Meme credit: @redneckgonegreen.bsky.social

The Law of Jante! That is of greater importance than the Law of Moses, which is th subject of our official belief. It was more pardonable to break two or three of God's commandments than it was to crack open a bottle of beer.

A very good boy. We rolled out to the park this evening and listened to Cheap Trick's back catalog.

I snuck him a bunch of fried liver today, which is a pretty good day for a small, brown dog.

Today was a really good day. Spent some good quality time with the dog. Got all the laundry done. Found an electronic repair place. Started a new bike build project (SO MUCH MONEY down the drain, but whatever).

So I got into an argument with an academic. Usually, that would mean me trading insults with my dad, but not this time.

"Study after study proves that Trump voters were racist, not precarious."

Bold claim.

Once again, David Sirota says a bunch of reasonable stuff that nobody else is willing to say in public.
It’s wild how billionaires & corporations are blatantly immiserating everyone in this new Gilded Age & yet pundits & their affluent liberal fans are still trying to pretend they aren’t the problem.

Let them eat airport books & TED talks — a great populist message for 2028! Huzzah!

Just had this really dark moment.

School was what ruined me. But it was the thing that my dad used as a weapon against the world that said he'd never be anybody.

He was a serious academic and never forgave me. I'm not gonna forgive myself because, frankly, he was right this meritocratic disaster

I'm a dog person. I'm just naturally really good with dogs. I don't get cats, I don't want cats, I have three cats. I have this problem where I keep rescuing strays.
