I'm the hospice nurse whose job it is to open and close Mitch McConnell's mouth with my hand like a puppet so the news thinks he's alive. And when practicing, I've been having him tell me how warm and genuine I am. And it means a lot to me! I have fallen deeply in love with my handsome dead senator.
very difficult to do "natural consequences" when the lads love the natural consequences. one of them just falsely claimed to have been the one who crammed sticks in the air purifier so he could stay home from the playground and help papa fix it with the screwdriver
when i heard about a guy who liked committing war crimes in Iraq so much he took the only job that would let him keep doing them as a civilian, but now sort of weakly says it was bad, i went "Finally! A politician who's not animated by violent psychosexual power fantasies!" but somehow i was fooled
This is what I wrote about Platner back in October of 2025, and I think it holds up okay. The popular movement that grew around him in Maine is real and inspiring, the guy himself was always fugazy at best. At this point I just hope the former outlasts the latter. defector.com/what-job-is-...
a cryptofascist wrecker could not have done more harm to the democratic party than graham platner has already done, and they'd likely use the exact same playbook platner did. everyone involved in this shit is not a serious person. seriously fucked up creeps and losers, yes, but not serious people.
goodbye Bernie, it's been nice goodbye Stephen King, hope you find that... your novels are also nice tried to see Mark Hamill's point of view but Luke Skywalker would be ashamed of youuu* * (because of your AI memes and thirst replies, you 90-year-old weirdo)
As much as I hate to say it because it’s cheap webforum meta discourse, the strongest correlation to Platner support wasn’t ideology, it was if you still frequently use X, The Everything App. I would hope that would lead to some introspection about what remaining on there does to your judgement.
my only Nolan ranking thing is this 1) Interstellar is the only one that really got to me 2) Oppenheimer is very good, very rewatchable; Trinity sequence pays for everything 3) The Prestige bangs 4) Inception, I could be higher on; I keep it around 5) The Dark Knight is ok, rewatchable value high
A plurality of voters are tired of pols saying "We're going to get [district] moving again" and "[District] Strong!" and "We Hear You Hearingly" and don't need to be reminded of what's being neglected, what vague promises have been waved aside. Jeez it's like there's some untapped potential there?
there's an old joke where a doctor's on the witness stand getting challenged on why he was so sure a patient was really dead and says it's bc his brain was on my desk before conceding that he might still be alive and practicing law and i am thinking about this joke today FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER
they're bringing Graham Platner to Mitch McConnell's bedside by force and Mitch McConnell has drained Platner's life essence and Platner has become a mere pile of ash whereas McConnell looks 37 again. it's like that scene with Robert Forster on HEROES
today: we're playing coy about whether this guy is dead or not because it may or may not make the slightest difference in some arcane Senate procedure next week: don't you DARE speak ill of the dead, he was a Great Legislator, a Statesman
ok take it easy. politics writer here Senators are always entering Death Phase. the median age is 107. You think this is stuff we've never seen before? Don't make me laugh. It's all part of the big show. The big game. Now grab your popcorn and sit back. It ain't amateur night, here at the "Beltway"
