The Sacklers deserve what happened to the Sackler family stand-ins in Mike Flanagan’s The Fall of the House of Usher.

This rules. My favorite jokes are ones that require you to be a very specific kind of nerd (of any kind, but not just in general) and also a super online communist, so this is just perfect.

RFK Jr. is John Uskglass confirmed.

Why does he not simply send his faerie servants to destroy his political rivals?

Why is it necessary to cancel all consular services for Ukrainian men if they’re so eager to fight? Are you sure the bloodlust and desire for battle you’re perceiving isn’t your own?

Different ways, I usually say boo-jwah, bur-jwah is also one I’ve heard though.

OK, so China has looked out for its own interests and created an economic advantage for a fraction of its own population.

If lifting hundreds of millions of your poorest into the middle class is just naked self interest, why are Western countries so unwilling to do it? Are they stupid?

Is this the one who was crying in joy after falsely hearing that his daughter had died? How often do you have to publicly yearn for your kid’s death before you get investigated?

As soon as I read the title I knew it was going to be Pendleton, she’s clear, easy to understand, and pretty uncompromising about telling the truth on this and some other liberal red line political issues.

Yeah I remember seeing so many of them it was like stars near the ground. These days I rarely see more than I could count on one hand at once.

The impoverished natural world being left to our children is something that often makes me sad.

Houses were already out of reach for a huge segment of the population, but that segment is just growing and growing.

Even people who already own homes basically can’t move ever because getting a new mortgage is crippling, unless you owe nothing on your house and can buy the new one in cash.

Well there go my commutes for a few weeks

The modern American fascist is too soft to hear dissenting opinions.

Unforced until God strikes you dead for being a selfish capitalist.

Ananias and Sapphira is my 100% favorite part of the Bible.

I love it when petty bourgeois traitors to the revolution are executed by God after a struggle session.

Typical

I used to wait tables and we had a regular who was a prominent local retail estate agent (like, multiple billboards with her face on them prominent). Everyone hated getting sat with her because she would insist on being sat in the party room by herself or with one person she was with (I guess she was too good for a table next to another customer’s table) and you’d basically have to split your attention between two sections, neglecting your actual section that your other tables were in, inevitably leading to reduced tips from that section.

Then after like an hour and a half when she finally left she’d consistently tip one dollar. On top of being a ton of extra work, you’d generally net lose income for waiting on her.
