i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

The racial and sexist animus is disgusting. Found the last paragraph especially instructive: “Sanders has only ever held political jobs thanks to her father, former Arkansas Governor and current U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, and has never had to apply for a real job herself.”

Iced coffee is much safer—the impulse to hurl one's drink into the face of the HR person the moment he says "We're a family here" can lead to a lot of trouble if the coffee is hot.

One of the reasons why military coups work in many societies is that you seek to control the physical space of the Capitol. That is why Congress controls the 10 acre mile that constitutes the White House, the Supreme Court, and the Capitol. That is why Congress was granted control of D.C.

People say all the time that it was Biden making a random slip-up that “made” Obama have to change his mind on gay marriage c and I always thought it was patently obvious that Obama wanted to shift along with the electorate, and they set up this “gaffe” as the impetus.

Thank God someone's finally standing up for the group who has suffered most in comics. Men. I'm a fan of Brubaker who thinks there's a real chance he's innocent. But when it comes to "online mobs," far more women & minority & LGBTQ+ creators have been mercilessly harassed online than white dudes.

In 2022, people suddenly started believing that higher prices were ruinous, while actual inflation spiked and then fell to almost-normal levels. Their worry about inflation is now significantly higher than 1979, when inflation was 14%. This is very hard to explain, but very bad politically!

Okay, I made a chart, it's every month since 1977. The blue line is how many people are citing high prices as a reason for worse finances in the U Mich consumer survey. The orange line is the annualized change in CPI. Do you see how the very close correlation MASSIVELY BREAKS DOWN in 2022?
