sickos will rewatch Constantine (2005) and think to themselves, "yes i do want insane angel Tilda Swinton standing over me with her foot on my neck"

Do y'all have an obvious favorite photo of your dog? Because I sure do, and it will forever be this one of him photobombing Devil's Tower lol.

Honestly, at this point in his presidency, avoiding the annihilation of the world isn't necessarily a positive.

Y'all realize that Trump goes free range during these speeches because he can't read a prepared text. Literally illiterate.

Lafayette Square isn't "a historic protest site." It's a fucking park. And it's packed on nice days. Calling it a protest site is White House framing. They're closing a popular public park to create a presidential palace Saddam Hussein would love.

IIRC her response to Israel's genocide was to visit Israel and proclaim her sense of freedom compared to her life as a very rich woman living in America's largest Jewish city.

C'ville in the 80s and 90s was a quite a town. I remember telling Hawes Spencer that it was filled with eccentrics, not anyone seriously scary.

Brian Broadus @cvilletgr.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
It was there or the Hardee's on Old Ivy Road if you were hungry at 2:00 AM. That place offered a real cross-section of Hook society at that hour, and not in a bad way, when it was always crowded.

It never felt threatening. Closest to a city experience that C'ville offered, especially when you went to Littlejohn's late night for a sandwich.

I'm writing something about this but a major flaw of the right-wing movement is the clear and obvious belief that racism, homophobia and misogyny are *correct*, but unpopular. so the most "forbidden" voices are obviously *right*, but voters aren't ready for it yet. This whole thing is an example.
