Agreed, getting stuck in the mud, linguistically, seems like a dull way to go into the future.

This backwater will soon be the entirety of this godforsaken country where it’s easier to quickly buy the means to kill dozens of people than it is to protect oneself from unwanted pregnancy.

Werner Herzog directing a Maybelline ad: Perhaps she is born with it. What a frightful notion, to be imbued with the fetters of capitalist commodification from birth. It suggests God Himself is a part of our dreadful pattern instead of a refuge from it.

If you think that being shunned by decent society for not recognizing someone’s pronouns is worse than a 10 year old being forced to carry a pregnancy to term, you might be a giant piece of shit. Dictator my ass…

Yeah I conducted a media study with my spare cash. Really tough to see with my own eyes. It’s clownish to not see what was apparent last night. Not when this much is at stake.

When I watched him rock the state of the union I saw a serious decline in “Biden’s too old” stories. If he had come out in a coherent way last night it would have set a lot of minds at ease. We cannot live in the reality we want. He’s been incredible, but he needs to point at the future.

I love Biden. Did you watch the debate? This isn’t a “shared brain” situation, this is a “we watched the same thing” situation. I never thought he should step down from running. I now think there’s no choice.

Imagine if every billionaire could wrap their head around the idea that they would actually have to pay less for police, for welfare management, if they would put a little up front in an investment into their fellow man. Oh, and lives would be massively improved.

It’s almost like every one of the 1,340,450,560 “experiments” they’ve done, which show the exact same positive results, should just get a tiny bit more evidence before we finally accept that a UBI raises all boats.

When we learned this, my pregnant wife vowed to only use European formula for the baby. I’m not saying that’s the reason our kid is skinny when I’m a chub chub, but also she keeps her away from corn syrup like it’s a second job. It needs to be the law here.

Right-wing novels are always the most hysterical speculative fiction possible, like "IN THE YEAR 2082, IT IS NOW A HATE CRIME TO NOT LET HIP HOP THUGS & JEWS FUCK YOUR BLONDE WIFE...UNTIL ONE BRAVE RANCH HAND SAID 'NOT ON MY WATCH, BUCKO'"

Kathy Hochul is going to try to use this heat wave to detract for her awful congestion pricing call. But, downstaters should use the heat wave to remind everyone about climate change, how much worse the heat experience is in the city because of the traffic congestion.
