Today marks the 10-year anniversary of the release of my last album, Mandatory Fun. So to celebrate, this Friday I’ll be releasing a NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO!!!

Wrote this over the weekend in response to the following article snippet.

One thing that would help immeasurably would be for Americans in general stop electing horrible garbage like Vance to positions of power.

I am just... so fucking exhausted from having to think about the single worst human being on Earth every fucking day 24/7 for the last fucking decade. It is an unbearable assault on my mind and I wish it would fucking end.

*beholds the news* Well, that’s icky, isn’t it? My response remains the same: In November I will vote against fascism. In the meantime, did you know that birds are super cool? Here, have one for free 🪶

In all seriousness: the very idea that someone can take highly classified documents, store them in a public place, defy any number of requests, subpoenas, etc., and then face NO CONSEQUENCES AT ALL is genuinely shocking, and should terrify anyone who cares about national security.

The Republican line now is that the shooting was caused by Dems saying Trump is a threat to democracy, and they’re doing that because it’s a big and true thing they want Dems to stop saying.

Guy literally had secrets in his bathroom, selling them to foreign nationals. Calls people to steal votes. Sends a mob to keep himself in office. This country pissing all over its history to bend over backwards for this guy? This is the guy we bring down the whole experiment for?

I just don't get how a Republican could ever conceive the idea that shooting someone is okay.

absolutely brilliant. the cataloging of violent imagery from the right is incredible. i mean, we all know this, but it’s striking to see it in one paragraph.

Well I'm given to understand that today & for a VERY limited time, our nation's political violence party is shocked—shocked!—to learn that we currently live in a world of normalized political violence, and would like very much to know who is to blame.

Two months ago Greg Abbott pardoned a murderer who texted a friend "I might go to Dallas to shoot looters" then drove into a BLM protest in Austin and killed a protester. The universal response from conservatives to the pardon was "Yeah! Woo-hoo!" Now they say liberals should turn down the rhetoric

Yes, this!

Remember how they put Kyle Rittenhouse on a political pedal stool. George Zimmerman was selling skittles at GOP conventions. Crowds of them called to hang Mike Pence. They broke into the capitol with ZIP TIES. Planned to kidnap a governor. Republicans have always loved violence.

Please don’t “both sides” the “violent political rhetoric” conversation when one side regularly glorifies and intimidates with guns and the other side speaks out to end gun violence. These are not the same.

in all the (appropriate) memorializing of Shelley Duvall as a performer in the work of male auteur directors, spare a thought for her own auteur work: Faerie Tale Theatre was one of the few actually good media products aimed at children in the 1980s, but because it didn't sell toys it's forgotten

There’s a presidential candidate who organized a coup on live TV and was recently convicted of dozens of felonies for something entirely separate, and the political system is demanding his opponent step down.

I looked it up and it turns out there were zero book related deaths in 2023 and so far none in 2024 so, I don’t know, books may not be the problem.

the editor of the New York Times reacting to a potential Trump second term with “fasten your seatbelts” is so deeply vile i can’t wrap my mind around it. these people have detached themselves so completely from the things they cover that the rise of fascism becomes just something exciting to watch

I'm no ivy league fail upward brunchlord news professional, but I feel it's generous to call conspiratorial fascism (managed by a sociopathic manbaby with a fourth grade reading level) "disruptive" that's kind of like saying nuclear annihilation is "modifying"

He won the primary! And the election! And the primary again! HE'S THE CURRENT INCUMBENT! This insistence on acting like he's someone a few elites suddenly recruited and thrust upon us just now is bizarre.

It’s not an accident that a lot of us said all along that Biden wasn’t a great candidate and his age was a liability, but in the absence of a structure to succeed him with a better candidate we fucken accepted it Now the ghouls who wanted him in the first place are pooping their pants. Undignified!
