Defective chicken, hard-left gadfly, olde person in the way. Not sure why I'm here.

Part of me has always assumed that if you're in a Waffle House in the right parts of red states, the n-word is printed on the menu in at least three places
JD Vance is particularly odious to me because we’re roughly the same age and from the same part of Ohio and I grew up with a hundred pasty, squishy faced white dudes like him & they’re all convinced they’re marginalized because you can’t smoke at Waffle House or say the n-word anymore

So... * Vance is linked to Peter Thiel * Theil thinks that Mencius Moldbug is a visionary * Moldbug used to be... ...if old-school talk.bizarre ends up influencing the leadership of a nuclear power, I'm going back to bed.

The Veep pick will undoubtably be Vance, because then Trump can just put duct tape over the "PE" and date and reuse all his old signs on the cheap

If the Dems lose this election, it is going to be almost entirely on them waiting until the summer of 2024 to panic about whether they should have renominated Joe Biden. The time to panic about this and pressure him into resigning, if you wanted to do it, was before the primary elections.

In a darkened room, Joe Biden clasps his head in despair. "I've lost a third-tier Batman AND lost Meathead," he realizes. "I've lost the nation."

Two requests for today's UK elections: 1) Rees-Mogg in particular must lose his seat. This is likely, from what I've read. Let him crawl back into the Dickens novel that spawned him. 2) Farage must get pissed on. Whether it's a drunk pensioner, a baby, a bird or Anne Widdecombe, it's a must.

If we need a good omen to remind ourselves that at least certain levels of change are possible, we're about two days away from watching a nation tell the conservative party that's governed it for the last 14 years to go fuck itself

I am envious of my in-laws' cat today, as unlike me, it does not feel compelled in any way to give a shit about any of these political happenings

What we need in our two-party system is an understanding, in which both parties know that if they open the door to extreme fuckery, the other party will leap through it and conduct extreme fuckery with great aplomb, and that would serve as a deterrent. We have half of that now.

In the very unlikely event that Biden succumbs to the pressure and steps down from the ticket and is replaced by a far-left bomb-thrower, my one regret would be that Joe Lieberman would no longer be able to bear witness to that and shit out his intestines in a fit of abject horror

I keep seeing commercials for the Red One movie and thinking "...casting Dwayne Johnson as a buxom Russian woman was quite the creative jump"

Hey, Louisiana fundies? You can (apparently, for now) force students to share a classroom with one version of the Ten Commandments. What you'll find that you can't do is force students (or anyone else) to read it, or to treat it -- or you -- with respect or seriousness or dignity.

Roger Corman and Steve Albini in one fucking week? I need two armed guards and a team of surgeons standing by near John Waters, stat. Just in case.

Wherever he is now, I feel like Steve Albini would draw some cynical amusement from my sitting down to listen to Atomizer one more time and having the experience interrupted by ads for Panera Bread

The night is still. A wolf stares at the moon and lets out a howl. It sniffs the air, shits twice, twitches a bit and staggers off into the bushes. I know how he feels.

If your students aren't radicalized, they've been too busy drinking and fucking to have learned a goddamned thing from college.

Watching clips of frat boys waving Trump banners at Ole Miss Gaza protesters, and I'm reminded of pro-war chuds yelling at our anti-Desert Storm protests when I was in college. Which reminded me of tales of campus sit-ins in the 60s. The anti-war left was correct then. They're also correct now.
