Owl Crate's first horror pick. This baby took me a while to get through. I think it arrived mid-June. Stunning design; I can't do it justice. The book started out slow, but it was well worth the read. Loved it. #StevenGrahamJones #TheBuffaloHunterHunter #OwlCrate #books

It’s not ageist to want your president to be young enough to thoroughly understand the problems affecting the generations of the working class, or to be present enough to be able to respond to all facets of the job. It is ableist to not want your president to need a wheelchair. Do we all get this

Last week, DHS and Secretary Noem's staff and spokespeople suggested that because Mr. Abrego Garcia had $1,100 in cash on him when arrested outside Home Depot seeking day labor, that was strong evidence that he was a member of MS-13. I guess that raises a similar question about her $3,000.

Trump was always going to spend his second term screaming "They're stealing our MOON CANDY!" then crashing the global economy because of the ghosts in his brain, but it might have helped if so many media outlets hadn't run "Here's what your share of a Moon Candy seizure might look like!" stories
