I didn't know Olivia Dean had haters. It's a shame we lost so many to basic bitch syndrome, it could never be me. I like it when singers sing and have a message that many can grab onto. She was a natural choice for best new artist with the reception to her latest album. Stay mad.

This morning, federal agents staged at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot and began to throw chemical irritants at observers. They also kidnapped an observer. Our parks are meant for our children, youth, and neighbors. They should never be militarized zones meant to separate families. 1/

fuck it we ball
If you go to your caucus on Tuesday, there's a preference ballot for governor. (Entirely non-binding.) I'm pretty sure it's just a blank slip, and there will be a list posted of declared candidates. You can ABSOLUTELY write in someone who has not declared, such as EMQ.
Yup, I'm in. #draftEMQ www.draftemq.com

If every incel somehow got a girlfriend, the net violence in the world would only go up. Because guys who think like that are violent and abusive to their girlfriends.
It's not their singleness that's dangerous, it's the way they think about women and will treat them.
