At the end of the day, we are all Americans. Sure, we have differences on policy. One side wants to give everyone healthcare and good wages. The other wants to create a white Christian ethnostate where the president can legally assassinate anyone at will. But we are not enemies.

For all its breadth and depth, there's a simple message at the core of "End Times": At the heart of our problems, @Peter_Turchin writes, is "a perverse 'wealth pump' ... taking from the poor and giving to the rich" and we have to find a way to turn it off salon.com/2023/06/25/hop…

@FanboyCristian Ugh I remember when getting a byline in The Atlantic actually *meant* something

Serious potluck vibes here. Imagine slipping into your best lace-sleeved frock from H&M and making a g-d effort, only to have to make small talk w/Themed Suspenders & loan out your Tide pen to the clods who keep crashing into the card table. I'm sure it was worth it

Also this party looks so incredibly lame & forced

At Bob’s Big Boy in Burbank where @DrewFromTV is picking up the tab for striking writers who show their WGA card and the manager says the tab he’s covering is around $50k. Per week. We are heading into week 7, with no negotiations scheduled. This is the 2nd strike he’s done this.

Fake fears: 1. "Woke." 2. Trans youth. 3. Cancel culture. 4. Raising debt ceiling. All manufactured to divert attention from the income and wealth being siphoned off by the top.

One of my favorite subgenres of lazy Instagram is "Look at these two photos in awe- this celebrity kept her looks for an entire *7 years* & is still going strong!"

@tcmacmillan @JayMatty @Joshstrangehill I JUST thought of that at work!

@JayMatty @Joshstrangehill "Hello chief, let's talk, why not?" has been stuck in my head for years, decades even.

Story behind "I says to Mabel" Homer story in Chili ep was so full we had no room for kids B story So when Homer asks them where Marge is, they have nothing going on. What they're doing that moment had to be 100% freestanding Hence, Mabel What's your fav random Simpsons line?

"It would be hard to design a system that is worse for delivering health care than what we have." I wrote about the push for universal health care in Oregon: theskanner.com/news/northwest…

I saw someone on Tumblr call people like this "Evangelical Christians with the serial number filed off" and it is 100% accurate

Finally played Firewatch on a snowday and it's nice to know my...unorthodox sense of direction exists in all realities and platforms.

@RLEsq I remember feeling like, how does this (the weird e coli case) not happen more often? Like, how was it that they needed to know a specialist who kinda remembered this diagnosis as a possibility?

Left the horror movie marathon after the first film because I didn't want to leave the dogs alone too long. In bed, switched on a Forensic Files about Damion Heersink's case of E. coli and you know what? The horror marathon continued!

So far the only entries are The Lobster and The Banshees of... Colin Farrell will not always be the common denominator

Thinking of starting a website called DoesTheDonkeyDie to help determine whether promising movies w/actors you love/a proven director/good premise are actually horribly miscategorized as comedies- tags #Irishexistentialangst #Irishcaricatures #wasteofBrendnGleeson

Calling for calm instead of demanding justice is a form of abuse. #TyreNichols

Stayed with a friend for a few days. It was lovely but her reasonable bedtime rubbed off on me & yesterday I ended up running like four errands before noon, ew.
