Anyway good luck to jurors, the judge, court staff, and prosecutors, and all their families, with not getting murdered, and thanks to FedSoc types for bringing us to the brink of fascism so you could weaken Chevron deference

"Rid of Me" and "Ys" are two of the greatest albums ever made. But providing a clean, clear model for white dudes to own up to their "edgelord shit," repudiate it, and start living a real life is something very few have ever had the courage to do. RIP to a legend: melmagazine.com/en-us/story/...

I feel like we’ve reached the dystopian mad libs part of the American gotterdamerung. “Jerry Seinfeld says comedy has been ruined by the far left while promoting his Pop Tarts movie” “Tesla stock soars upon Musk’s plan to make his cars the AWS of AI” “Dems support crackdown on their voters” 👍👍👍

It's not genocide unless it comes from the Genocide region of Germany. Otherwise it's sparkling ethnic cleansing.

1-I’ve seen a version of this argument floating around on Bluesky & hellsite this last week. I’ve also seen “if Trump wins & usher in authoritarianism, we [young folks] would fight it & restore true democracy to America.” Let me tell you why this is absolute bullshit, & you will restore nothing.

Seeing more and more of this in my Facebook feed, particularly from right-libertarian people from the pre-Trump era. Not blurring names because if you post this garbage in a public forum, you can accept the social consequences of doing so.

One of the reasons that quicksand was so prominently featured as a threat in film and TV is that the very first person to die during filming was Grace McHugh, whose boat overturned on the Arkansas River in 1914. She and a cameraman drowned and it was reported that they had become stuck in quicksand.

1. Trump can appeal without posting security, but that would allow immediate enforcement of the judgments (ie - seizing over $400M in disgorgement and interest. If he wants to stay enforcement, he will have to put up cash or a supersedeas bond in the full amount (including accrued interest).
