"My name has been an epithet for so long; I fantasize about what it might come to represent. 'Why, these pearls?' a lady might say. 'They were a Christmas gift from my husband.' 'You’re a lucky girl—he sounds like quite the Scrooge!' will be the reply."

Don’t tell people not to joke about serious shit. It’s a coping mechanism for some of us. It’s how we aren’t constantly screaming.

I googled the attendance at the Etihad yesterday after noticing that part of the north stand was closed. It would appear that the attendances of all PL games are available online except for that one. Seems sus?

The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand:

$678M raised through those spam tactics

$282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies.

$11M to actual campaigns (1.6%)

The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

It's not political to think people shouldn't be starved to death.

Everyday I wake up and have breakfast with my son. Meanwhile the children of Gaza are literally dying from starvation because they are being denied food by an occupying army. This monstrous crime against humanity will not be forgotten anytime soon.

Is it just me or is Stephen Colbert in an interesting position now that it’s pretty clear the show being cancelled is politically motivated? Would be weird for him to keep making fun of those in power whilst simultaneously licking Paramount’s boots. Guess we’ll see.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
