something that i saw in regard to the latest abusive celebrity man that has been bothering me a lot is someone asserting that because the man in question had written sexual abuse into his work, that should’ve been a red flag to let us know that he was a sexual abuser. no. that is not how that works.

I need someone who enjoys fireworks in my immediate vicinity so I can smack them upside the head and curse them and their mothers. I don't even care if it's the ppl who set em off in my neighborhood. I want a proxy to do penance for all his firework brethren and the fucking aggravation they cause.

Where is he even getting counterfeit money? I wouldn't know how to give people counterfeit that wasn't comically fake.
Also given what happened to George Floyd I can't help but think that he's trying to get people killed, not arrested...

So the 14th amendment only applies to people who have been convicted of insurrection, but we can't convict the president because he's immune. Cool cool. Love this system.

A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles.
Thinking about that a lot.

Have you told the fam that the creaminess of the grits balances the spiciness of the sausage?
Because if you don't do that you get to continue eating all the sausage, I'm just saying.

So much of what we have of the past survived by accident. The Dead Sea Scrolls were originally buried b/c they were worn out. There's ancient Greek writings that we only have because the Romans stole them for their libraries. We try to game the odds, but the survival of anything is a crapshoot.

Love that part of the article includes a cop saying there was so much beer, they don't even know how much beer there was, you'd need an adding machine to know how much beer. At least 6 per person!
The total number of ppl is in the headline and cops apparently couldn't do math back then, either.

Felix sat through the band’s entire new album, and a few of the radio hits, impatient for them to play the old school stuff. Then he heard the familiar bass line start, feeling the rumble deep down in his belly. Finally, it was time to get into the mosh pit and fuck some shit up.
