man i hope youre not someone who believes in hell because theyve got a special seat reserved for you

i had revised the prophecy to be senate/house majority leader in 2028 and pres in 2032 but clearly my guts initial IBS impulse was correct

the only reason i wish i still had a twitter is so i could find my "the prophecy states AOC will be the dem presidential nominee in 2028" from late 2019

this is why i hate the bullshit "ice is not law enforcement" line. yes it is! they are cops! they are the same type and quality of person as your local cops!

america evolving from "3rd world country with a gucci belt" to "shit from a butt"

How many people in the world have more power over more money than the US Senate Appropriations Chair? Like 3-5 people maybe?

also why were some of these kinda specific but theres no "pedophilia" on here hmmmmmm

i see we are continuing our fascinating 10+ year societal experiment where we describe and measure a bunch of stupid assholes in every possible way without being allowed to just call them a bunch of stupid assholes

Celeste Keaton becomes first professional sports team owner to do good, brave thing; gets punished immediately

Below with minor edits is a copy/paste of a thread we posted at the other place in 2022. Seems freshly relevant -- in light of recent discussion about Portland Press Herald and also our Tuesday story on Collins, Daffron and corruption. Original thread here: tinyurl.com/mr3fsuen #MEpolitics 1/X

(looks at ethan klein) well, there are *some* ways of exiting a podcast situationship

Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.

(while you can find plenty of people who would argue that nothing changes no matter who is in charge, the people arguing that everyone has been lying about their financial struggles for 2/3 of a decade are very much not those people, doubly so when it comes to economic policy)

vibes are certainly even more rancid than before, but vibes are only half of the claim; by sheer persistence theyve argued themselves into a corner where the implication is that everything was broadly pretty good for everyone no matter the fiscal policy or who is in power

"the economy is actually relatively good but the vibes are so rancid people think its bad" could seem compelling when it was describing 2023. less so when it expanded to 22-24, then all of bidens term, and now apparently 19/20-present

walking into the room and just saying "i think its a dock" as they kill me with hammers

significantly more people turned out to vote in an off-year ME-2 congressional primary than were willing to sign on to "protect girls sports" in jared goldens district and i think more people should remember that when they see people claiming their position as having a huge popular mandate

if bullying trans kids in sports is the popular moderate position and maine is a purple moderate state why couldnt a flood of money and people secure the signatures to get a transphobic "protect girls sports" question onto the ballot?

where is the Credulous Dipshit Factory that keeps pumping you people out and how do we shut it down

has anyone ever been more validated than the "we need to just tell the antivax conspiracy freaks to shut the fuck up and mandate vaccines" crowd
