one of the most magical things about parenthood is the opportunity to watch a baby grow and develop. i never got to be a baby. i’ve always just been a guy

Seizing the means of production but in a Real American Patriot Republican way.

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.” A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees. The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

May this one day happen to them.

It must be so cool to just be able to lie so openly and not care at all after you’re called out on it.

on the topic of dick cheney, one thing i’ve always said is that you shouldn’t kill a million people

This is easy:

*going into any average American deli* ah delightful, a glass cabinet filled to the brim with the very wettest of hams! how delectable to me, a pervert

A lot of horrible people ask our horrible Supreme Court to rule in horrible ways, but this has to be a top five evil litigant in the last decade.

The part where a $400,000,0000 asset held by the Department of Defense would be transferred to an ex-president's personal foundation for free is the part that's supposed to make the deal *less* unethical

What a line from Warren Buffett this morning:

“Be kind, and the world is better off. I'm not sure that the world will be better off if I'm richer."

Beyond parody headline in the NYT. Can't decide whether they're deliberately trolling us at this point, or whether they need to fire all their headline writers.

Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope: "Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope. I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is — we're here on Earth to fart around And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore."

Kurt Vonnegut man

there is no “epidemic,” he is almost certainly going to say it is vaccines and, well, stay safe everyone.

I think the funniest thing about the Ted Cruz Curse is he really won’t confine it to just a couple of teams; if you are a Texas school and you have a big game, there is a decent chance Ted is rolling in wearing your polo and bringing your doom with him

a lot of people think you need a lot of money to buy clothes. now you're right. ok. my bad.

A square canvas. Only the top corner is filled with Harings distinctive figures, rendered in Lavender, the rest is blank.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990.
One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.
