I’ve been thinking about how hard the founding fathers cooked with the Third Amendment. Imagine being forced to house ICE. I can’t imagine they wash their hands. They’ve never done laundry in their lives. They’d break your stuff if you didn’t cut the crusts off their sandwiches.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

We all love to joke about being hoist by one’s own petard but I never see anybody talk about how “petard” seems to translate to “farter”
petard (n.)
1590s, "engine of war consisting of a small, attachable bomb used to blow in doors and gates and breach walls," from French pétard (late 16c.), from French péter "break wind," from Old French pet "a fart," from Latin peditum, noun use of neuter past participle of pedere "to break wind," from PlE root *pezd-
"to fart" (see feisty). Surviving in figurative phrase hoist with one's own petard (or some variant) "caught in one's own trap, involved in the danger one meant for others," literally
"blown up with one's own bomb," which is ultimately from Shakespeare (1605):

This afternoon, I sat with Palestinian New Yorkers in Astoria and listened to what they and their families have endured as the genocide in Gaza continues, funded by our government. In the face of immeasurable grief, they have showed unbreakable resilience.

When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.

Snoop went from Gin & Juice to whining about a lesbian kiss in a Pixar movie. Imagine surviving decades of censorship, police harassment, and being labeled a “threat to society”… only to turn around and fear visibility for others who’ve been marginalized just like you.

The reason Sinners is so good is that it’s not a horror movie. It is a film about the Black experience, and the immigrant experience in America. It tells the story of marginalized peoples and uses vampires as allegory to tell that story. It is SO much more than a “vampire movie.”

Inflation rose by 22.6% from 2019-2024. In that same period, the 100 lowest-paying corporations paid their CEOs 34.7% more. Worker pay didn't even keep up with the rate of inflation. Those corporate tax breaks will never, ever, ever trickle down. WE ARE BEING SCAMMED.
