X has too many horrible laughable freaks now, this site doesn't have enough for my amusement. I need a secret third site with just the right amount.

Maybe its the Midwesterner in me but I see absolutely no daylight between Tim Hortons, Dunkin, or any similar place. Bad coffee, mediocre breakfast sandwiches, and pretty good donuts for pretty cheap. Serve their purpose for sure but can't imagine brand loyalty.

"The fascist offer is an offer to do what I see some Democrats already rushing to accept, to agree with fascist framing stating that the only unity allowable is unity with them, and suggesting that if we don't accept this unity then we are the ones to blame for what happens next"
I'm reading this horrifying story about Rahm Emanuel's plan to run for president (yes, really) by bashing trans kids and USAID, and I'm thinking we need a new version of Niemoller: "First they came for ... and I piled on ... and then they came for me."

God how embarrassing. They didn't even have to defend any real material attempts to fight fascism, just literally defend a guy who was rightly disruptive in pointing it out. Liberals will always collaborate with fascists when push comes to shove, this is only the beginning.
The 10* Democrats who joined Republican to censure Rep. Al Green for protesting Donald Trump's speech to Congress:

70 year old congressman Sylvester Turner died in office last night. He was elected in November to replace Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, who also died in office at age 74.

They don't care why they lost. They'll move further to the right because its what the political donor class wants. They would rather lose every single election, or usher in Republican fascism, than give even the center left a seat the table. Not enough discussion about THIS part of "1930s Germany."
The thing about Trump and Elon is that they're systemically alienating everyone in the country because everyone hates their actual policies but two of the their biggest supporters are the "liberal" media and the Democratic Party

Devastating loss, one of the all time greats. The Conversation, The French Connection, and The Birdcage are among my favorite movies of all time.
I was privileged to know Gene Hackman because he played tennis with another Gene—Gene Wilder. And that Gene told him about a little role called The Blind Hermit in our movie YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN…

Libs scorn both sides arguments because they cannot conceive of one that isn't "both sides are equally bad." They cannot fathom a nuanced discussion of how one side is evil and the other side has shown over and over that they're totally incapable of stopping it at every juncture.

Sure, the right have become "mask off" fascists. But at the same time, it didn't take long for liberal publications/ institutions to fully platform "center right" voices and stifle what few progressive voices they had left. I'd say a few masks have slipped here.

Somewhere, a gastropub in a trendy neighborhood with a vaguely edgy aesthetic is naming a $17 bowl of soup "Holiday in Clambodia" and there is nothing you can do about it.

I find it interesting that the two most common types of one hit wonders are sort of the inverse of one another. Either contrived, generic slop almost designed for that purpose or weird respectable genre musicians who jumped the fence of mainstream commercial success exactly once.

Gee it sure is funny that America's "left wing" party is happy to shut absolutely any progressive policy down when they learn its against the rules but our right wing party just steamrolls over the rules and gets away with it. Almost like that's by design or something.

I'm watching a documentary about Teddy Roosevelt and the hardest political cartoon of all time just popped up. I can't find it anywhere on the internet. I had to rewind and pause just to capture it.
