Yelling about Nixon since 1978. Parent, Registered Domestic Partner, Lapsed Methodist, comedian, and father (in that order). Roughly one post in ten is just a joke.

I cannot adequately explain how fucked up the World Cup situation is wihen the president of a host nation *threatens the safety* of one of the participants (Iran).
The USA should be removed as a host nation and if it's not, the games shoud be boycotted and ANYONE WITH A MORAL CENTER should see that.

so we're at thirteen americans dead in the current war and fundamentally this is happening because our leaders are weak and stupid.

There are a lot of interesting things about The Bride!, and one of them is how this movie only exists as it does because of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie.

It would be nice if people remembered this piece of wisdom from the greatest economics tweet in history (and the one I am most insanely jealous of not having written, especially because it was a reply to me).

I think every geriatric Democrat deserves a primary challenge, also some geriatric Democrats are like Bennie Thompson and still on their A game. But hey he had to break a sweat and that's healthy.
