🧵 Matt Yglesias is one of the biggest reasons the Democratic Party leadership is so feckless, cowardly, and lazy. I'm not exaggerating. Yglesias is often a featured speaker at private Democratic Party events, despite almost always being wrong. Let's discuss...

TONIGHT! We’ve still got some tix left!

We were guests on the "Everything & Anything and a bit gay" podcast! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

We were interviewed for Broadway World! www.broadwayworld.com/cabaret/arti...

TIL of the poetic device “diacope,” and realized I used it in this poem I wrote about self-forgiveness earlier this year.

My friendship has a “You must be this down with The Bit to ride the ride” sign:

A reminder that James Carville is a tremendous piece of shit. abcnews4.com/news/nation-...

If only I had some kind of imagery to sum up what I do for a living…

Hello @democrats.org, I do not want to hear from (ever again) - Hillary Clinton - Kamala Harris - James Carville - David Plouffe Just put a box to check: $100 AND YOU WILL NEVER HEAR FROM ANY OF THESE PEOPLE AGAIN and I swear to you you will reap an enormous windfall

If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.

I didn’t say that Elon should die in a fire, I said I wished him many a flight in one of his rockets.

A Locktober joke for you: What do you call it when two boys in chastity fall in love? A cage match.

GOD I love a rainy Sunday

CHICAGO! We're bringing our show Double InDUMBnity back to the Newport Theater 11/19 for a victory lap! If you missed out last time because we sold out, this one is for you! www.eventbrite.com/e/john-jonah...

Gavin Newsom backs measure to kill the billionaire tax and ban future wealth taxes Gov. Gavin Newsom isn't just fighting the billionaire tax. He's backing Prop. 42, which would ban future wealth taxes in California, too.

if your agents are going to commit crimes, you are legally responsible if you cannot figure out how to prevent your agents from doing crimes, you’re going to have to choose between releasing them and protecting yourself from criminal liability imo this would do more for “ai safety” than a sex cult

they did the thing

What's your smallest personal conspiracy theory? Mine is that CashApp swaps the position of "instant deposit" (with a fee) with the non-fee option on the confirmation screen on purpose so that you'll accidentally incur a fee.

“By the eve of the Great Depression insurance companies seemed like an almost miraculous synthesis of bank and factory: vessels for savings that also employed a vast workforce making and selling a useful product.” thebaffler.com/salvos/i-mig...

Defiance of court orders by a major chapter of the pro-rule-of-law party: not a good look. Glad this is the last gasp of this leadership.

Can someone please come up with a good social network for queer nightlife/artists/performers that doesn't have fuckall to do with Fuckerberg? And sorry, it ain't Bluesky.

A glimpse inside my head

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

That's a $96,318 fine for being raped.

The existence of “squeaky clean” implies the existence of “squeaky dirty,” and it is probably the Folsom clown orgy my bf is on his way to.

im only a bit into this longread and it's already a brutal accounting of the Reconstruction rollback being carried out by the neoconfederates on the Court like, this is a deliberate effort by opponents of multiracial democracy to disempower and degrade--again. different century but same shit

San Francisco! Our early show is SOLD OUT, but there are still tickets available to our 10 pm show this Wednesday the 23rd!

For my newsletter, I wrote about Democrats coming out against "trans surgery for kids" (which do not happen) and how the myth took over our politics. www.burnsnotice.com/the-trans-ki...

This was amazing. If you have a chance to see it, do so. I love these queer nerds so much.

If you can, go see Double InDUMBnity by @showoffjonah.com & @johncoons.bsky.social! It’s a holesome experience filled with laughter and tears, empowering sex positivity, musical and pop homages, and good boys!

"My opponent wants to hire creeps to inspect your daughter's genitals if she wants to play soccer. I wouldn't trust him or any hired weirdo from his pedophile-protecting party alone in a room with any kid." Go on the offensive, you cowards! It's not that hard!

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

Come to the show with meeeeeee.

Seattle! There will be a block of 20 tix sold at the door, first come first serve tomorrow at our sold out Rabbit Box show at 7 pm! Doors at 6!
