Lovecraft himself wrote that the name is pronounced "Khluh-luh," with a guttural Kh-, but cautioned that people should remember wasn't intended to be pronounced with a human vocal apparatus. But okay, Ktulu.

And a disgusting, sycophantic, ambition-blinded, worthless moral coward in a general's uniform now running blocking patterns for a Donald Trump. This veteran is heartbroken to see it, but it was only a matter of time. He had generals with backbone last time out, and they disappointed him.

"Tax prayer" is about what i feel like every day now enduring the monster in the White House and his smaller filth-devils all over the place.

And the MAGAts, the MAGAts, the mean stupid fools who elected the monster and his crew of congressional bootlickers.

As a former 82nd Airborne paratrooper who wore the maroon beret a little proudly under Republican and Democratic presidents, impartially, I am horrified at the sight of the monster using troops as shills to attack the biggest, richest, most legendary state in the USA. I hate him all over again.

Brooks, I know, not Brookes, trying each day to write himself out of the Republican hell he helped to write us all into.

Fucking Douthat. He's become worse than David Brookes, in some ways even worse than Bret Stephens, which really takes so doing. The quality of a Douthat favorite is certainly no surprise. And there he is, embedded in the money, platform, and prestige of the NYT like a blood-swollen tick on a dog.

It's not the only thing that's beginning to make me feel like I'm in South Sudan -- unfortunately -- as far as the Rule of Law goes.

I know I'm not in the USA where I spent my life, and without even going abroad.

They've got the troops -- but we've got the t-shirts. I expect The Bulwark -- ahem, I subscribed on its first day -- to be more hard-headed and operational than selling a silly T-shirt that will actually strike most people as meaningless or pointless or: "Hey, did ya lose money on DraftKings, bro?"

Why is our civilian-attorney federal "border czar" dressed up like a cosplay-fantasy of a MAGA fascist militiaman with an AR-15 leaning in the corner just off camera?

WTF crazy movie did I live long enough to live inside?

I've only seen and know the word "Huevos" for about 90% of my life as a southern Californian -- what the hell went wrong with me?
June 9, 2025 at 8:59 PM
"Heuvos Party" = endorsing patriarchal sexist phallocracy, my comrade. Be careful!

Have you ever visited the New York City area before, Wakana-san?

The Japanese Emperor's 1945 surrender speech on the radio to his defeated and nuked nation, included a sentence that set an unbreakable record for understatement:

"The military situation has developed in a way not necessarily to our advantage."

Goddess in heaven, I adore the Japanese culture.

So this shit-in-a-suit is a partner at Paul Weiss Rifkind, the Biglaw firm that infamously bent the knee to Donald Trump, about one New York minute after he attacked it?

It is no coincidence, comrades!

Meanwhile the goddamned Ice-stapo is wearing masks like I've never seen on American law enforcement officers other than those SWAT team cosplay-commandos.

Honor systems work until sufficient people who have no honor enter the system.

That's why it's so important to nip them in the bud, rip them out by the roots, come down on them so hard their unborn descendants feel it now. To say the least, the honorable people failed to do this in time.

Aged like milk, Isaacson, you Broligarchy groupie, you starf--ker, you bought-and-paid-for celebrity biographer, you high-class Entertainment Tonight! slutboy.

Aged like goddamned MILK!

I think he looks ugly and troubled, but I can't see him through a young woman's eyes. "He just needs the right girl who really UNDERSTANDS him."

To me Chris Cornell sang one of the greatest James Bond theme songs, for CASINO ROYALE (and the opening credits were awesome too).

He's a red-blooded, TWO-FISTED, out-gay, smug elitist brownnoser -- and don't nobody forget it! The sissy foreign pantywaist didn't stand no kind of a chance.
