In The Long, Lucrative Right-wing Grift Is Blowing Up in the World's Face, a text I go to frequently, Alex Pareene makes the argument that the mechanism that led to us getting Trump was the Republican elites and electeds consuming the same media that used to be only consumed by the rank and file.
Imagine having such a finely tuned sense of moral order that the picture of the starving child clearly means the threshold of deliberate genocidal starvation has been crossed, but then finding out the child has a pre-existing medical condition reassures you that it has not
thereโs actually a different guy with my same exact name who did all the depraved and evil stuff youโre thinking about. he looks and sounds like me, too. basically a sort of a parent trap-type situation. you donโt need to worry about the other guy anymore because he died in a jet ski crash
the rapidly approaching 2028 presidential election is far too important for these petty, bad faith attacks on this high society scumbag we decided should be our nominee because he's got perfect news anchor hair and his teeth do that cartoon sparkle thing when he smiles. it's time to get serious
The zombie/shark fight in Zombi 2 (Fulci, 1979) shows that it takes a LOT for sharks to attack you. That zombie's hanging off the shark, punching and kicking. And the sharks just like "you good, man?" I think that movie could've undone a lot of the damage Jaws did if it was more popular.
not every critique is a cancelation and it's up to pete to distinguish between an awkward phrasing or hamfisted attempt at empathy and a real policy commitment showing "concern about women's/girls' sports." he's a big boy. if he wants to mend fences, he's got to answer for the damage first.
the lodestar of a certain breed of dem advisor is WJC's: sister souljah moment or the ricky ray rector execution - a cut against the party's reputation - but even granting the dubious idea that either of those turns was *good* (short or long term) you can only cut so much until there's nothing left.
I was my wife's first. I know because I read her diary where she described me nude as a "wet pink toad" and how the air "stunk like [my] toadhole all night". She's had four since then, at least that she diaried, but none of their smells are documented. Probably bad though. All men have toad smells.
one time my stomach really hurt and I went to the doctor and she ordered a bunch of tests and billed them to insurance as "abdominal pain." unfortunately the tests showed I had an ovarian cyst so the claim got denied for not being billed as "reproductive health" and I had to make 1000 phone calls
The entire concept of voting is that if you disagree with someone, you write them off. You literally write someone else instead. Children learn this before they are five years old.
It really wasn't enough for the ICJ to put countries on notice that they'll have to pay climate reparations. We need to be able to go after the wealth of individual politicians. Because why would a climate vandal like Eby care that his decisions might lead to lawsuits he won't have to pay?
i'm the only adult home on the block because several of the neighbors are out and have left their kids with teenage babysitters who have been given my number as an emergency contact, with my permission of course, so i'm loosely responsible for like 15 kids right now lol. i don't even know some of em
