The president of the United States is posting pictures of himself as Jesus and the secretary of defense is quoting Tarantino instead of Ezekiel and we’re waging a war based on ancient apocalyptic literature and a sizable chunk of [white] Democrats and leftists have never cracked the spine of a Bible

If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a thousand times, the fact that we have allowed religious education to be the purview of private Christian schools & homeschoolers when it’s not just advantageous but actually necessary to understand what is happening in our country is one of the reasons we are here
I can't believe The Atlantic published that piece even after Kash Patel told them he doesn't drink too much, when has anyone lied about that
What if men keep doing evil because they have Big Sad
I literally never want to hear the words “male” “loneliness” “epidemic” spoken in that order ever again
Larry Ellison’s TikTok forcing “AI Remixing” onto their entire user base without their knowledge or consent is a really great microcosm of what US tech overlordship looks like — and why the backlash against this technology is only growing.

“The consequences of violence are secondary to the validation that comes from inflicting it.” Always.
Like don’t get me wrong the queer community on my side of town including parents skews relatively leftist so if that’s where they wanna show their faces on a Sunday afternoon and campaign there’s a decent chance they’re a candidate I’d vote for policy-wise but I just think it’s interesting
And I just think that’s very interesting
Yesterday I went to a queer parents meetup at the playground with my girlfriend and her kids and it was like 8 billion lesbians meeting each other and letting their kids play and then two different sets of gay men both of whom were running for local office and were there to promote their candidacies
I also had to explain to her what a fax machine was when we were watching the Lindsay Lohan Parent Trap and that one was a lot harder
Last week I put on some old eps of America’s Funniest Home Video’s with my girlfriend’s 6-year-old and then had to explain to her that a long time ago you couldn’t just share funny videos on your phone or your iPad you had to mail them in to a tv show & you could win money if they were funny enough
“But there has to be a path to redemption for people like Louis CK..”
Let me stop you right there: no there doesn’t. You made that up.
Forced forgiveness is an an additional harm against the victim / survivor
and a convenient way for the harmdoer to maintain the status quo
The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
Yesterday I saw someone slow down to let a Waymo car merge which to me feels like the driving equivalent of saying thank you to ChatGPT
failing to think that through in advance on a day when you know you’ll be speaking to neil gorsuch should be disbarment worthy lol
on a certain basic level I don’t understand why AI would appeal to any writer. if you don’t want to write, do something else? there’s no shortcut for thinking
People lost jobs for merely quoting Charlie Kirk's own racist words. But the president of the United States can post this and 🤷♂️:
I write well in public so at least once a week I waltz my gay ass into the neighborhood pub I’ve been a regular at for like 12 years and sit down with a French press, a glass of wine, my laptop and my huge stack of bibles and academic commentaries and hardly anyone ever dares to ask
It's equally chilling to see people act like calling out abusers is wokescold behavior, more evidence that "too woke" is a completely useless framework
I think I will probably be explaining that MeToo didn't go "too far" for the rest of my life, but it's absolutely bonkers to see people worried about men getting unfairly cancelled in the age of Epstein/Trump
The tornado watch has been canceled for Davidson and Williamson Counties. All clear! We are 100% donation-funded. If you feel compelled to give to our work, we certainly do appreciate it. Y'all mean so much to us. buff.ly/xIDp0Ep
The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.
Unfortunately this is not even the fifth or tenth wildest thing Brittany Dawn has ever posted

As a reminder: Pam Bondi was tRump’s SECOND choice. His first was accused sex trafficker and pedophile Matt Gaetz.
Best case scenario it’s aliens. Like. BEST case scenario
our nation’s first crust punk congressperson being a radical centrist makes a TON of sense actually
