I don't know how anyone wouldn't immediately know DJTJ would sweep the competition.

Felix thinking that WASPs keep their house cold so that they can store butter outside the fridge would be a more rational explanation than keeping butter out so it's not hard was incredible.

Let's hope it's sooner rather than later.

Much love, comrade.

I live in a district that has some cool candidates up for the November election, so I definitely want to make sure I give them a vote.

I really fucking hate it here.

This is it. I still have some lib tendencies, and I was planning on moaning and groaning all the way to election day, but still voting for Biden. The DNC inviting Collin Powell to speak is the straw that breaks the camel's back. I'm done. I'm voting third party for the first time in my life.

A lot of libs love to throw that "when somebody tells you who they are, listen to them" line at a conservatives re:Trump, but look at who the fucking DNC is saying they are: Inviting the guy who lied us into a war that killed hundreds of thousands of civilians in Iraq AND tried to facilitate a cover-up of the My Lai massacre. And that's not even getting into Kaisich, or the dick-sucking tribute to John McCain, or Warren being at the fucking Native American summit, or the other things I'm sure I'm forgetting.

Fuck this stupid, tone-deaf, self-serving party. They're telling us pretty goddamn loudly who they are, and showing us that they'd much rather become the republican party of the 2000's than give a single inch to the left.

Jesus fucking christ. I totally forgot that he was tasked with trying to cover up the My Lai massacre.

MN-62 also elected Omar Fateh -- a democratic socialist -- to our state senate.

We need a woman of color that appeals to conservatives. Vice President Candace Owens.

Bellessa is good. Even though it's founded as a porn site catering to women (and I'm a straight cis male) I prefer it immensely over the other alternatives. It removes a lot of the gross seedy-ness that pervades other porn sites, and seems to handle the business with some class.

Steinbeck's books are also beautifully written. I'm normally a slow reader, but I cruised through East of Eden because it was so well done. I still haven't read Grapes of Wrath, but I'm super excited to.

I'm reading Albert Camus' The Plague right now, because I thought I'd be edgy and on-the-nose. I'm finding it to be incredibly insightful and thought-provoking, and helped me understand a lot of my feelings during this pandemic that I've been having a hard time articulating.

And doing the George Bush thing, where all the worst imperial crimes are laundered through a bumbling goof.

That's what really gets me about this - I'm sure Biden doesn't have a single clue about what he said or the implications of it. His staff probably just gave him an ice cream cone, sent him back into his basement, and tweeted this out for him.

I was sent here from Russian troll farm. Hello other account!

I used to listen to the NPR politics podcast religiously.

He injected 20cc's of chicken broth.

I really enjoyed the main story, but didn't love the story told through the footnotes.

I did end up reading it at a great time, though. It was the first book I read after finishing college, and I had just completed a film studies degree. It felt fitting that -- after all the film essays I had to read during college -- the first thing I read was a fiction book written like a film essay.

Do we like Eastbound & Down? I'm almost done with the second season and I'm loving it so far.

If there was one podcast I could (successfully) convince more people to listen to, it would be Citations Needed.
