fun fact: two years after Manchin won in West Virginia, a left wing populist ran on this exact platform… and lost to a corporate Republican by 40 points
the conservative white working class doesn’t vote for wealth distribution. they are temporarily embarrassed billionaires who love daddy Trump
There’s a kind of guy who loves the idea that ordinary conservatives actually care about “fighting billionaires” and I think it’s laughable.

we all know I have no life, so:

Again: young people might not realize that this kind of repugnant racism was unacceptable to express publicly, *not that long ago*.
everything about DOGE was fucking wildly illegal and everyone involved in it should spend time in prison and have their assets seized
"President Trump has the Iranian government on the run. In fact, the Strait of Hormuz has never been more open and gas prices are tumbling down like a waterfall"
In this panel drawn by Jack Kirby, a desperate looking man shouts "I...need a marijuana! I gotta have a reefer!" Three men are standing around him and one says "Talk first! Start talking!"
erika kirk played a nontrivial role in turning charlie kirk into a meme. if you are trying to coerce people into following a prewritten script for mourning kirk, his widow failing to follow a cultural script for mourning a spouse is a huge problem

I love imagining Jon Vitti balling his eyes out listening to Linda Ronstadt sing Mr. Plow. I would be too
Linda Ronstadt singing MR. PLOW IS A LOSER
I like that the song isn’t even saying why Barney is good at snow plowing it’s just slandering Homer
we’ve reached a point where democratic hopefuls think they can prove they have national appeal by publicly criticizing a wing of the party that exists only in the minds of on right-wing podcasters…
Shohei Ohtani is a once-in-a-century player, so Momoyo Kelley wanted to wait for her opportunity for an autograph.
The 100-year-old Salt Lake City resident briefly met Ohtani before tonight's Dodgers-Rockies game saying it was “like a dream."
Ideal relationship dynamic
So much of city budgets is vaporized by overtime to make cops semi-rich & by compensation for their rampant criminality & misconduct.
Fast food price nostalgia is the dumbest, reactionary impulse that is all over social media.
People are doing "RETVRN" over Chipotle burritos.
Two black and white still images of William Shatner in the Twilight Zone. he's an airplane passenger in his seat.
