My kid has been talking about grownups with references to characters, like he said a guy looked like Jack Black in Minecraft, etc. So tonight he said “Santa is impressed with my cleaning” and I was like “who is Santa?” And he full on Airplane’d me: “he’s a guy who brings presents to your house”

Every blue haired barista on TikTok is an official representative of the demotratic party. Stephen Miller is just a guy who spends all his time with the president but doesn’t speak for him, don’t be ridiculous

Happy Labor Day. Burke’s betrayal of Ripley in ALIENS is representative of the conflict between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. In this essay I will analyze the Marxist themes of ALIENS in the era of Reagan and trickle down economics, showing that the only thing that trickles down is alien goo

Two weeks ago, Bruce got my book banned in Clay County Schools (FL). This week, two more Florida schools added HERE WE ARE to their pending objections. It is almost as if they're all working together (don't @ me–I've said this since 2021). The schools are Santa Rosa and Escambia.

Remembering today when pro-GOP media erupted with outrage over Kamala Harris' warning that Trump had plans to militarize the national guard and deploy them on the streets of US cities. Indeed, he had such plans. And now he's implementing them.

my understanding was “unhoused” is used not because of woke or whatever but because there are all kinds of people living in cars or encampments who don’t consider themselves “homeless” but are not sheltered by the traditional definition. It’s very weird that it became part of the culture war
