any time jan 6th "NEVER FORGET" stuff rolls around is so funny cuz the reaction from regular ass people was shock and loud condemnation and that action had to be taken and the reaction from the most important electeds directly threatened by it was "daaaaaamn, that shit was crazy! what's for lunch"

In retrospect having an elite class composed of people who are really good at rising through the ranks by not rocking the boat left us in a really, really bad place at the moment that elite institutions faced their greatest moral test

The Simville Picayune recommends Swedish Cleaners, for all your post-death cleaning needs. Gather up all those weirdly shaped pieces of your dearly departed family member's life and have it hauled away. Respectful service and affordable prices. All their longing discarded, or your money back!

There's no better example of how this entire society is structured around the concept that the white, straight, mainly conservative and "Christian" group must always be shown the utmost respect, while being given the right to decide if/when/how much to respect anyone from any other group receives.

As someone who has lived my whole adult life in cities deemed “dangerous”—NYC, NOLA, and SF—I think a lot about how dense cities require patience, calm, and tolerance in the midst of social difference, which are of course exactly the civic virtues that the right resents being told to cultivate.

The repression of trans people is not, by and large, a grassroots outpouring of hatred from the American people. It's something that's been carefully planted and tended over years by a handful of media people and their pet reporters.

“Crazy how states plan to criminally investigate every miscarriage but they “don’t have the resources” to test rape kits or enforce restraining orders.” 1000s of rape kits sit on the shelves untested, but prosecutors in W Virginia are now actively pursuing people who have *miscarriages*.

Trump administration imposes sanctions on four ICC judges in unprecedented move
President Donald Trump's administration on Thursday imposed sanctions on four judges at the International Criminal Court, an unprecedented retaliation over the war tribunal's investigation into alleged war crimes by U.S. troops in Afghanistan and over the court's issuance of an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Pretty wild to be living in a time when humans are being forced to work in order to even be considered deserving of life or even to be considered human at all, while simultaneously human labor is being systematically eliminated from the concept of work.

Not siding with the US is just wise business at this point. Whatever deal you make with the US is going to be violated and negated inside of a week regardless of how much you cooperate. Deals with the US aren’t worth anything now.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.
Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby
Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts.
"There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. ..
It was an
extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?"
It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe.
It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism.
