Saw Thunderbolts last night and it has replaced Winter Soldier as my #1 Marvel movie. I can’t wait to talk about it when every thought I have won’t be a major spoiler.

I just spent an hour at the DMV and it was absolutely PACKED, but everyone was being patient and polite. The two dudes who met in the line behind me compared notes about the best AA meetings because one guy was new to town and didn’t like the one he tried. These are the moments that give me hope.

In person: The LA Kings winning the 2014 Stanley Cup in Game 5, after playing all 7 games in each of the previous 3 rounds. The team was so exhausted and banged up that they were playing by sheer force of will. TV: Freddie Freeman's walk off grand slam in Game 1 of the World Series last year.

i do not think the mainstream press is equipped or capable of covering ideological white nationalists and eugenicists as such, or even capable of noting that this is what they are. it is related to the wide belief that racism is simply a matter of manners.

A lot of people could learn from the example of local L.A. legend Jeremy Frisch, when, in an open community meeting hosted by the LAPD in the wake of the George Floyd protests, ended his comment with, "Suck my dick and choke on it. I yield my time, FUCK YOU."

Yes @chrislhayes.bsky.social, there has been a mass purge of queer people from the U.S. military before. Last time, after WWII, it was lesbians who were the first to go. 500 suspected lesbians were purged from the Women’s Army Corps base in Tokyo alone in 1947.
