The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”
Sometimes I wish I was as dumb, incompetent, and rich as these stock market guys who take a TruthSocial post as gospel.
Every Friday is an exercise in week-to-week object permanence.
Oh, you better believe that’s a paddling.
It’s coming. But we’re in for some pain in the interim.
I think Hungarians might have a few *small* quibbles with Cowen’s claim of them not having much of a democratic tradition, too.
I’ve long since left the Catholic Church. I have my reasons and don’t really plan on going back. I’m also almost completely numb to this guy’s online antics.
But between Tuesday and tonight this guy has gone too far and will probably just continue to unravel.
Blaspheming on a Sunday again. Not beating the antichrist allegations.
analogy for the America brained is like if the Dems lost to Trump four times in a row and then ran Mitt Romney to save the country and won crazy supermajorities and also Mitt Romney was named Johnny America
Theroux understands that scammers can be conned just as easily as the average rube.
Finally gotten around to the Louis Theroux Manosphere doc and beyond the misogyny and toxic shit the thing that sticks out to me about these guys is that they’re all incredibly annoying.

call me a liberal nationalist but I feel proud to export an American culture of space exploration, multicultural immigrant cuisine, the Black American music tradition, football basketball baseball, NY Jewish comedy, land grant universities, and social libertarianism
This is basically the premise of that Treehouse of Horror episode where Lisa becomes God to a society created from her tooth in a tub of Jolt cola. Bart is obviously the devil.
Your honor my client would like to plead oopsie daisies.

Happy Surrender and Freedom Day! On April 9, 1865, Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant and the Army of the Potomac. home.nps.gov/apco/planyou...

Look I’m sure Israel or Trump will make the final deal even worse because they’re undisciplined brutes but this whole ordeal, at best, will be what Suez was to the British.
So to recap, Trump:
- Started a war for no reason on the belief that Iran would surrender immediately
- Killed thousands including over 100 elementary schoolgirls
- Threatened genocide up to and including nuclear war
- Then backed down in exchange for a worse position than the US had before
?
It’s all fuckin fun and games reality tv to this bitchass motherfucker.
I will say, April 2018 was when he was doing the whole ‘fire and fury’ and ‘rocket man’ shtick so this tracks the rhythms of last time. That said, he’s already been bombing Iran for a month at this point…

Mr. Trump we’ve appointed you president for life sir. Congratulations. Right this way to your new office.
I am not one of those who believes that history repeats, but consider the following from Herodotus: the Oracle at Delphi told the fabulously wealthy King Croesus that if he invaded Persia he would "destroy a great empire." Croesus invaded and lost--the empire he destroyed was his own.
I can’t find the post but I said months ago that my worst fear is this culminating in a mushroom cloud and I really don’t want to be right about that.
Oh come on just croak already.
"Moon's haunted"
Yeah probably fine for someone else to do something.
