"There's not much talk of public toilets in the West between the fall of the Roman Empire and the 19th century. Human bodies didn't change, but their disbursement and cognizance did."

I named my fists Gilbert & Sullivan because:

I am the very model of a modern major pugilist
I'll fight you in a manner you may think is rather rude-ilist
My favorite architecture school has got to be Brutalist
I am the very model of a modern major pugilist
I named my fists Common and Sense because I'm about to bring the Paine
I named my fists Blood and Meridian because I’m fixing to Judge your ass.

The more I think about the new V for Vendetta HBO series, the more I can only conclude that HBO have not thought about it.

It's a story about a (trans) terrorist Dr Phibes-ing their way through mainstream right wing types who enabled mediocre fascists to take power.

There’s a lot of people who claim to be really into politics but who are actually really into being righteously angry, and they’re pretty shitty sources of information. Anger is addictive and makes you stupid, try to limit it.

Chuck Schumer did a boneheaded thing today, and that was worth calling out, but a good test for who you should be listening to is who is celebrating wins tonight instead of coming up with new reasons to be mad at the Democrats
A Charlie Brown had hoes tweet. No one actually did this.
Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

I could tell you a joke about Loki seducing me but I'm a little horse.
I had a joke about Hercules but it’s a bit too labored.
I had a joke about Cassandra but no one would listen

They say opposites attract, which is why I'm dating my counterpart from a parallel universe where antimatter is the dominant form of matter. We can never touch, which is why SleepComfort Mattresses are perfect for our needs.

Have you considered that chickens are foraging animals and it was probably looking for food? "To get to the other side" indeed, as if the noble chicken were a creature of mere whimsy.

OK, so Americans: if you voted in person, how long did you wait in line to vote this week?

If Kamala Harris is going to win Nevada it is critical for her to gain the support of the Boomers and to break the alliance between Caesar's Legion and the Great Khans.
On the one hand I’m wary of overinterpreting early vote trends but on the other hand I’m wondering why Nevada is such a Trump-y outlier. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I have a joke about Atlas, but it doesn't hold up.
