I hate Leno for screwing over my boy Conan (and being chronically unfunny) but I do love me some Poundstone. And yes, I'm old enough to remember her on the Tonight Show.
SocDem. Atheist. No one should be a billionaire. Black lives matter. Science is real. Climate change is real. Nuclear power can be used for good. The only good fascist is a dead fascist. Trump is a clown with a shotgun: absurd and dangerous. Slava Ukraini.

Laura Loomer belongs in hell.
The cruelest, most despicable piece of legislation within my own lifetime. This is class war.
Yes, that's true. I didn't have a good role model growing up, my own mother was a generally kind person but she was also very credulous. She didn't believe we landed on the moon or that that evolution was real, for example. And I had no father figure. So, for me, it's more complicated.
I hope the next time this ghoulish freakshow goes to her doctor with some health concern that they just shrug and say: "Well, everyone dies" and tells her to get the fuck out.
It exists but it's subjective. For me, what it means to be a man is different than what it means to the liver king. I don't feel the need to hunt elk with my bare teeth or whatever. I imagine my masculinity involves things like honor, trustworthiness, honesty, kindness, curiosity, and moral courage.
If we're stereotyping, then no one on Earth is louder than the Chinese. Almost every word is shouted, by our standards.
I like telling authoritarians where to shove it in multiple languages
I'm a voter and I want Democrats to be both more progressive AND more aggressive. AOC 4 Prez.
Happy international worker's day! Workers of the world, unite. We have nothing to lose but our chains.
Thank you, Canada.
EMERGENCY ACTION Join us we’re actively working to get coalition members on the ground! Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested by the FBI this morning after refusing to allow ICE agents into her courtroom. She was taken to the federal courthouse.
Trump’s current front-runners for SecDef are Mark Harmon’s character from NCIS reruns, Colonel Sanders, a Mar-a-lago gardener who wore camo cargo shorts once, and an AI-generated image of his face on Rambo’s body.
Sorry to his family and all but the Catholic Church is a deeply backward, homophobic, and misogynistic criminal syndicate that protects and aids pedophiles while hoarding wealth. Don't give me any of this "friend of the poor" shit.
You kinda have to hand it to his brainworm. Instead of sitting around waiting for science-backed medicine to take him out, he took the fight to them.
I hope the judge comes to the obvious conclusion that fish swim and the sky is fucking blue, just as the worst, most deslicable SCOTUS in the history of our dying country was forced to do, the facts being SO OBVIOUS.

We're about to find out, I'm sure.
But you can't have the working classes realizes that our goals and interests are the same. Public Enemy and Hazel Dickens are saying the same thing. Too dangerous to let them realize that.
"9 To 5" and "A Coal Miner's Daughter", if you listen closely to the lyrics, are the most far-left, socialist songs outside of Woody Guthrie or Utah Phillips. Maybe why radicals in urban settings were told to scoff at the "country" music. They were making the same point.
Keep that jerk-wad Grandpa Joe away from it.
Thank you for providing context. Without it, it comes off as an odd and mystifying thing to say. I agree that it sounds like something Musk would do if he was capable of feeling affection for other creatures. I disagree that it's "immoral" or "repugnant", that is a harsh view.
And it's great! She certainly knew what dealing with chauvinist pigs was like, firsthand. She was always a performer but she grew up in the kind of poverty that few in the US can fathom, outside of the forgotten pockets of Appalachia. She's an incredible woman.
That's why she's a queen. Because she is too self-effacing, decent, and humble to recognize her own greatness. Truly great people don't spend all day telling you how great they are.
What specific kind of "weird things" that people are calling "repugnant" and "immoral" are we talking about here?
Jessica should have just thrown water on her and watched her melt.
I think so too. Her or Booker. We need dynamism and full-throated opposition.
Oooh eeeh, oooh ah ah Ting tang, wallawalla bing bang Oooh eeeh, oooh ah ah Ting tang, wallawalla bing bang.

You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. There are lawful and unlawful orders in the UCMJ, the latter of which you are INSTRUCTED to disobey.
I served in the military and I still have a conscience and a working brain. Your comment is insulting and absurd. This isn't 'The Manchurian Candidate', there are no 'special phrases' that make someone go on a Pavlovian, unstoppable murder rampage. There are good and bad actors in all professions.
This is fucking metal!
Me too! John's a true poet. And hearing "Nestlings" jogged a memory, I actually did have you on my TBR list because you were on an episode of Talking Scared. That's so funny. To be fair, my TBR list would require me to be reincarnated a couple times. Cheers!
It's an obvious thing to say but he has no remorse. You can't hit the undo button on that level of hateful bigotry that quickly. I want HIM to get the fuck out of MY country!
Well, thanks. I was about to TRY and go back to sleep!
I'm the richest man to ever walk the earth! Pity meeee!
It's 2:44 am EST now but my hope is that given time, this pun will have 8 billion upvotes and unite the world.
Mr. King sent me. Is the title "When The Wolf Comes Home" from the Mountain Goats song "Up The Wolves?" Because then it'd have a connection to my favorite writer and my favorite band qnd I'll somehow buy the book even harder.
I try to read everything you recommend, my king.
Don't you threaten me witha good time!
Thank you for not mentioning the carpet.
Yeah, any and all. I imagine the economic dumpster fire will do some of the work for us but who knows. Unbelievably, considering the astounding amount of damage done, we aren't 100 days in yet.
I became politically engaged through punk rock, primarily, at around 13 or 14 and then 9/11 happened. You've probably got some time. Social media didn't really exist then, it's so very, very different to be a kid today.
The fact that it's only 600 is a truly damning indictment. There are around 1700 in the nation.
I understand the frustration but the way our system works, yes they will. We have to persuade at least SOME of the people who voted R. and/or some of the people who were too apathetic to vote or "radical leftists" or the naïve ass "anarchists" to vote. It's how it works.
Maybe embarassed is the wrong word. I'm fucking furious that these rapists and monsters are flaunting it in my face but I'm a private citizen. If I were a lawyer, pol. or a judge, yes, but I marched, I talked people's ear off for a decade now, and I voted my conscience. I have no personal regrets.
That's a hell of a break up note.
A controlled demolition.
Remember when you convinced 9 other Democratic senators to betray the country and enable this like two weeks ago
Tariffs times INFINITY!
Oh, THAT explains my rockin' tits!
Knowing America, it will be the wrong people. The lesson of who the real enemy of the working class is is never learned. As Tom Lehrer puts it: "to hate all but the right folks is an old established rule."
Is sex unpleasant or painful for Andrew Tate? Good.
That's not what granting a stay means but it could potentially go that way considering just how radical this SCOTUS is.
I thought not being able to regulate or control your anger made you a man. I learned something.
You're my kinda Democrat, Tim. Keep fighting with us.
All I can remember now is the 21st night of September.
Lol. True. I didn't catch that at first. He confused chicken and a staring contest in the space of a sentence.
"Well, can I go see my son? Where is he being held?" Police: "No, we've put him on a plane to a foreign nation." "You deported him?!?" Police: "No, we've sold him into slavery." "Holy shit, what? How much was he sold for?" Police: "Nothing. We're trying out this new thing where we just say words."
Not really, who was "sold?" Kidnapped by whom? They were arrested. We INTENTIONALLY sent them there under color of law. Police: "Your son was kidnapped." "Oh no! Can you help? Police: "No, we kidnapped them... By arresting them and putting them in jail."
Chastising and finger wagging at people for going to the beach every once in a while or taking a mental break ensures that you will burn out those already on your side and that no one new wants to join your side. The left is remarkably good at self-imploding for this reason.
If we keep pendulum swinging back and forth every 4 years, nothing can be done. We will just have 4 years of the GOP taking a shit on the floor and 4 years of Dems cleaning it up. Rinse, repeat. We need two terms an a majority legislative and then make big, bold FDR-like moves.
They were sent to another country and imprisoned. "Kidnapped" suggesrs that we're holding them still or that Salvadoran prison guards came here and abducted them.
The stench from the bullshit pouring out of both their mouths and the literal shit in Trump's diaper must have been incredible.
When will the GOP, who has a majority, grow a spine? Long after the heat death of the universe, in an alternate version of this reality - somewhere in the multiverse. Here though? Never.
I don't want to type for twenty minutes. Long story short: repeal the Glass-Steagall Act and then allow a news network to spew 24/7 lies and propaganda.
And that was BEFORE the dementia set in.
A mad king.
Only if they're poor.
It can be both.
I know the 'Hands Off' protests were what democracy looks like... but what do you think it smells like?
It would be pretty damn creepy if you just stood there beaming at the gas pump.
None of the peasantry had thought to eat cake before so she was hailed as a SHARP-thinking genius on the CUTTING-EDGE.
He's our next president.
DEI gophers? They are brown.
The Radiohead one is so clever.
I am now blind.
I'm the guy in the Celtics hat!
Have you played Wolfenstein, In The Darkest of Times, The Saboteur, or Indiana Jones and The Great Circl... No particular reason.
Gotcha. Thank you very much.
Why does it cost so much? Does anyone know? The secret service?
You're thinking of the sane timeline.
Even big, oiled up, muscular, big dicked, sexy hunks don't want to ride the subway. Oh, they're so bulging and massive amd masculine - these men!... Sorry, what were we talking about?
Jon on point as always.
Followed for "corpulent dotard."
I had to look up what "TIL" and "Tim Gunn" were. Neither answer made me feel anything but a lingering sadness.
Yes, Lavender. 100%. They are gearing up for it, no question. That's why we NEED to regain the senate and/or the house in two years or all hope is truly lost!
It's possible, I suppose. I don't happen to believe that, especially because he just spent $30 million dollars in Wisconsin to buy an election & lost. He wouldn't have done that if our elections are all rigged. I think there are states where shenanigans are going on, concretely NC.
I think the H.F. and traditional conservatives are using him to usher P25 into the mainstream but we saw, in polling, that the concrete policies were wildly unpopular and Drumpf was forced to disavow them. His base have confused him with a homophobic Jesus because they're braindead.
The strangeness of this moment is truly unprecedented and bizarre but it involves the mass hysteria involved in the formation of cults as much as it involves the politics of hate groups like the KKK. It is an amalgamation we won't likely see in our lifetimes once this cunt dies.
Thankfully, I think you're wrong. I think the personality cult, the insane religious reverence for the man, who so many literally have deified, is difficult to understand for many sane people who have not seen and heard it and immersed themselves in it. The man is a religious figure. Vance is not.
Fuck! My favorite things in THE WORLD are bananas, coffee, due process, and not being bankrupt!
I love that, logistically, they couldn't fully close their car windows because they needed to wrap the tethers through them so that anytime the vehicle slowed or accelerated "whale juice" would pour into their car.
Thanks, Kevin! But ya better believe I know about and often think about this incredible, insane, hilarious story!
That's a nice sentiment, Scout. But that isn't the case if 1/3 of our populace are braindead and indifferent and another 1/3 are fascists. You and I, my friend, we're the final 3rd.
Ok. But S.K. is like the size of Maine and the US has what is literally the most powerful and most well-funded military in the entire history of the earth.
Trump was impeached twice. The most times of any president in history. He is now president again. He's also a convicted rapist and felon. Look, I am with you all, my comrades. I'm with you! Just be clear and open-eyed with how much evil has won here!
I guess we'll be screaming for at least 4 years then, my friend. I'm not trying to diminish this injustice. It's pure evil. But sometimes evil wins. Weshould be mad about it, we should HATE it but sometimes a stray bullet hits a stroller. This universe is morally indifferent.
Thank you. You are correct. I will leave my error up though, so it won't seem like I'm trying to hide it. My point stands, we ain't got shit.
I'll be there!
