Yeah but they take a big slurp out of any puppercino they may recover for you.

Still weird this very plain spoken call to mass violence isn’t dominating coverage!

Joe Biden has to hurry up and commit fraud, rape, espionage, and insurrection quickly so The New York Times will think he's fit to stay in the race.

Can we march on the Court? I got some time. I know the demented fucks won't give a toot, but goddamn I want to get it in while I can.

Official act! He took them while in office - is it a crime here?

And while the condo is still a mess, we have made so much progress in the last 3 days. Almost all the bookcases are reassembled, and I've come to realize that I have taken linen closets for granted my whole life. Took out a guitar for a little while tonight. Just enough to worry the neighbors.

Extremely frustrating to hear legal experts analyzing the SCOTUS ruling on immunity like just another case - it's an inherently normalizing act. People need to stop playing constitutional Calvinball and treat them like political actors.

Of all the documents I signed at closing, my favorite was the one that required me to return to the office if I did not sign any document.

Blissfully out of the world during a historically awful week. I stepped away from all social media because I don't need the stress. Closed on my condo on Friday. Moved out of my old place on Friday and Saturday. Found out the new roof leaks on Sunday. HOA is right on it, which is great.

Movers are late. They said "we're on the other side of the state." I mean, at least we're not in Texas.

After Eve goes to sleep, I'm going to relabel all of her moving boxes "top secret," "pornography," and "top secret pornography."

Welp, my psychiatrist has had his license to prescribe pulled. Don't know why. I know that he has been in pain lately (and for a long time) and I hope he didn't self-prescribe. I do hope he's ok.

This condo purchase has made me consider my relationship to Eve. She's not my wife, partner, nor just a roommate. I'm thinking "co-defendant."

The best anti-telemarketer strategy I ever employed: 1. Ask the caller to hold on a second. 2. Call over son (age 7-10 is the range). 3. Say to son, “Hey (son), there’s someone on the phone who has never heard of Minecraft.” 4. Hand son the phone. SOLVED. And they never call back.

We freeze flags all the time. It's called winter. Well, when I was a kid we did.

It would violate causality. The multiverse would rip in all temporal directions. All would be void.

If you ever internalize anything you see me post online, let it be this: get renter’s insurance. It’s like $10-$15 a month. A bunch of people in my building were displaced and only about half had it. You want to be in the half that has it if this ever happens to you.

I'm opposed to violence. Until that point is reached. Neither of them should be allowed to write an opinion for the rest of their natural lives.

Iceland is a bucket list trip for me. My roommate reads Old Norse. These two statements are linked in my head. Regarding Trump, I don't think the judge will sentence him to anything that Trump would be allowed to turn into a spectacle. A custodial sentence might achieve that. He needs a time out.

Dems are going to regret it if they just sit back and let Trump surrogates fill the airwaves with accusations the trial was corrupt because it didn’t end in an acquittal

While the Right organized, the Left let too many positions go unchallenged. This organization seeks to right that balance by providing candidates on the Left with assistance and support. They’ve been very successful. Follow @amandalitman.bsky.social for more.

When I saw my first one I was stunned by its sheer enormity. I had previously thought "deer on steroids." Nope. Big on a completely different scale.
