get in, no time to explain

Yeah, this man should not be allowed to practice law, and any failure to take away his ability to practice law after all of this would be a part of the end of the rule of law in America.

The Washington Post, June 23, 1912

This all starts with a secret handshake between writers and yard workers, a mutual understanding that if writers don't leave cans behind, and they don't touch the identifying numbers on the cars, then there's largely no harm. Writers will go to meticulous lengths to respect the latter rule.

Nathan Fielder did all that shit while learning to fly

There is absolutely no viable path forward for this country that doesn’t hinge on extreme accountability for everyone involved in this administration. They’re going to whine about politicization and credulous media types will echo them, but the thing is, they’ve committed tons of obvious crimes!

new wolfenstein looks like shit

If the argument for women should know better than to go into a rape den like a frat house, explain to me why a rape house like a fraternity is allowed to exist at all.

Fully agree here! If people are curious, here are the races I'm following in the first hour or so of poll closings to see what kind of night it will be: FL-13 FL-14 FL-22 FL-27 IN-05 KY-06 SC-01 VA-02 VA-05 FL-GOV GA-GOV

Our society's unfathomable cruelty to homeless people is not just morally unjustifiable, but more expensive than housing people would be. Cruelty against the homeless is an unaffordable luxury. Abandoning homeless people to avoid offending the Protestant work ethic is an unaffordable luxury.

This is the most pathetic thing Republicans have ever done, and I remember Freedom Fries. The most loser shit I’ve ever seen.

Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.

Phang: Each and every day after December 19th, 2025 has been a violation of the Epstein files transparency act. Now, to compound the problem for Blanche and the DOJ, you have violations of court orders.

Just saw a thing where a director talked about taking out sex/nudity because audiences don’t want to see it. Here’s an idea: fuck the audience. I’m the chef & they’ll eat what I serve them and like it. *The audience* knows what they want? Why don’t you let a toddler drive a car next?

gets incredible air here

Brak wanted to record a very special song for this post…

thinking about Max Cherry again. one of my favorite characters of all time, the Platonic ideal of a man.

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

"Lindsey Graham lived his life as a pilot fish, a parasitic sucker fish hovering about larger predators. He was a sidekick and the hollowest of hollow men." open.substack.com/pub/stevesch...

In 1970, the 5th grade students at Hawthorne School in Beverly Hills were assigned to write to someone they admired and ask what makes a good citizen. Joel Lipton, then 10 years old, wrote to Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz. Schulz's response is relevant even today:

"Tributes Pour In for Senator Lindsey Graham", then a dramatic blank space on the landing page of NYT.

“I don’t celebrate death” okay well skill issue

Lindsey Graham spent the last decade of his life in public service as a US Senator, trying hard to be remembered as an enemy of the Constitution who worked to destroy American democracy and exhibited occasional signs that he knew why that was bad but kept doing it anyway. I will honor his choice.

Lindsey Graham comes to a realization at the end of his 20-minute conversation with Mitch McConnell.

Made it to Friday but at what cost

When it inevitably comes out that McConnell hasn’t been conscious since his collapse on June 14, let’s all remember that the Senate Majority Leader and Whip said they’d talked to him the day after he got CPR and that he was “engaged” (both of them used that exact word!) and would be back soon.

What if I told you they are STILL GOING OFF, now, at 12:38 AM, and the smoke is so thick you can't even see them?

If you’re self identifying as a Democrat but saying with a straight face that DSA members hate America and the job of Dems is to support free marketism, you can just march your ass over to the GOP and be done with it

we missed peak culture

Americans when they hear Europeans don't have air conditioning

Everything is a conspiracy when you don't know how anything works.
