MAMA ROCK ME

There's a dude busking outside my office who has been singing Wagon Wheel over and over for the past hour. And I know it's been a shitty few days but this might be the thing that actually breaks me.

The internet didn't kill newspapers. Greedy corporate owners stole all the money, ran up debt on profitable shops, and gutted them for cash. Then they blamed the customers for not liking the sucky thing they made suck.

There's a part of me that refuses to believe undecided voters exist, I'll admit.

I love that you think they're motivated by facts rather than whatever comes out of his facehole.

This month in @damemagazine.bsky.social I wrote about how everything Trump does is normal, because it has to be normal, because then nobody has to change anything they're doing: www.damemagazine.com/2024/07/16/t...

Trump Will Never Be a Normal Presidential Candidate | Dame Magazinewww.damemagazine.com In the wake of an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a campaign event in Pennsylvania, the usual media suspects fell all over themselves to praise Trump’s political acumen in no...

Suburban women are known to love creepy neckbeards who bellow about fertility rates and available human breeding stock, it's true.

Uh… what “The campaign says his bio appeals not just to working-class people but also to suburban women — voters Trump is working hard to attract. "All you have to do is show people the movie," says one Vance adviser, referring to the Netflix adaptation…” www.axios.com/2024/07/16/t...

Behind the Curtain: Why J.D.www.axios.com Trump loved the veepstakes drama, and milked it until hours before the Republican convention opened.

American media stop saying suburban when you mean white challenge.

it's not that he's changed his mind about trump, really. it's more that he's changed his mind about hitler.

I get that he’s taken it all back, including when he said he feared Trump would be America’s Hitler, but I guess my position is… I have never gone to work for someone I’ve ever in any point in my life compared directly to Adolf Hitler… and it’s a fair question… www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

If anything I feel like the dolphin one is more feminine-coded. Over-under on the number of actual cops who get those Blue Line urns versus fascist cosplayers?

That they were characterized at the time as this plucky little startup is my villain origin story.

Anyone surprised by Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen's disgusting tongue bath of Trump this morning, rhapsodizing about how he can become a new man, obviously doesn't know those two got their start saying Bush could get a "do-over" for Hurricane Katrina. It's sociopathic with them.

Begging someone to teach him how to shave. Like it's the least offensive thing about him but every time I see his face it makes me irrationally angry.

I listened to this on a loop the week after the 2004 election, and I'm not a Floyd fan. In case any of you need a soundtrack today.

Hi friends! As you probably know, I'm in San Diego, home of the great Comic-Con. I know a lot of you will be there and some of you are doing really cool things there, so please drop your badass con-related project/talk/book/story/art/music/whatever and I'll elevate it here (and maybe see you there)

If you won't let us be racist we won't be cops anymore! is a hell of a thing to say, just like, out loud.

Putting Paris Hilton next to a cheap whore like Tucker is really rude.

They are deeply lazy people attracted to a spectacle and Obama did give them that so they liked him at first. Then he steadfastly refused to fuck interns or steal shit so there wasn't much for them to dig into.

I think my views on All This are colored by watching in excruciating detail as John Kerry got destroyed on purpose and I cannot believe they* just keep doing the same thing every time. Telling you they're doing it, too. *Republican bagmen and their useful idiots in the political press/punditry

Like they say, flat out, "here's how we're going to dishonestly ruin someone's life and by extension all of yours" and the people who've clawed their way up to journalism's highest echelons reply "wow, much savvy, must amplify." Over and over. Four times in my voting lifetime.

So I have a hard time hearing legitimate concerns over Joe Biden's age and fitness for the job when those concerns are so carefully timed and so obviously re-fired for the gain of a tax fraud rapist who wants my friends dead.
