My Halloween costume is a scarf. And when someone asks, "What's your costume, some kind of scarf guy?" I'll say, "No, this is YOUR scarf."

Congrats to the people in Wisconsin who took Musk's money AND don't have to suffer the consequences of a term with their preferred candidate. They really hit it big.

I'm no videogame violence prude — I like lobbing molotovs at ambulances in GTA as much as the next guy — but there's something really sad about being cool with your kids playacting the real, tangible evils of the world but drawing the line at made up devil shit for fear that they might be corrupted.

Why shouldn't Hunter be pardoned? Why should we pretend like the rule of law matters when only we care? Our moral high ground is a monument to an imagined past, and no amount of prostrating ourselves before it will coax the voting public leftward.

show me your pet and what/who they are named after:

It blows my mind that half of the voting public lived through the last nine years, and the last year of this campaign, and saw all of the vitriol, the demagoguery, the threats, lies, promises of retribution, and thought to themselves, "This. This is what I want my country to be." What the fuck.

The old season is dying. The new season struggles to be born. Now is the time of endlessly fiddling with the heater vents in my weird old house.

No one should feel safe if someone talks to them this way. This is abusive boyfriend, cult leader shit.

When Moo Deng is on my screen, I can read text surrounding her, like these headlines, but it just sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher by the time the words get to my language processing centers.

The party of small government and individual freedom, ladies and gentlemen.

Incredible worldbuilding in this echo chamber, a land where calling out sad, creepy assholes for their embrace of fascist ideals is the precursor to imprisoning them for thought crime.

Witness a man with no conviction making calculated moves to curry favor with the abhorrent racist base of the Republican party.

So Republicans are told every day by Trump and his toadies that they must hate and fear and seek retribution against their fellow Americans, and when two of those same Republicans have a go at Trump, it's the left who needs to calm their rhetoric?

Both of Trump's would-be assassins were Republicans. Is that because Republicans are more likely to seek a solution from a gun than, say, an appeal to reasonable people to vote for a reasonable candidate?

Oh there's no badge for being in the first 22%. In my defense, I was scrounging for an invite for months before it came through.
