Donald J Trump tweeting Lindsey Graham just died. Good, I'm glad he's dead. He can longer hurt innocent people

I made so many phone calls this afternoon

An old, decrepit man in a dark suit with a blue tie saying "It was like fifteen 9/11s"

Anne Noreen Widdecombe (4 October 1947 - c. 9 July 2026) was a ghastly human being, British politician and television personality. As a member of the Conservative Party she was...

Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.

How should we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.

Admirer as I think I am
Of stars that do not give a damn,
I cannot, now I see them, say
I missed one terribly all day.

Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total dark sublime,
Though this might take me a little time.

My most conservative opinion is that Michelin should go back to using the original design for Bibendum.

The original mascot and...a second one? They look like an anthropomorphic stack of tires with pince-nez goggles. It's deeply unsettling

A happy looking marshmallow man version of Bibendum. He almost looks inviting. He has a blue sash that says Michelin

If you
could get along without King George, you can get along without King John
Rockefeller. Political liberty without economic freedom is a myth. Politi-
cal liberty is rooted in economic freedom. The man who controls and owns
the means that sustain my life, owns and controls me. I am his slave and
in no sense a free man.

We've watched this pattern repeat itself for decades. Gay organizations distanced themselves from drag queens because they were considered too embarrassing for the movement. White-led organizations sidelined Black queer activists whose struggles complicated a cleaner public narrative. Transgender people were told, explicitly and implicitly, that their visibility threatened everyone else's acceptance and that their liberation could wait until a more politically convenient moment. The names and targets change, but the promise never does. If we simply push those deemed the least respectable to the edge of the movement, perhaps the rest of us will finally be allowed to belong. History has never been especially kind to that strategy, because respectability politics offers a promise it cannot keep. It imagines acceptance as something earned through conformity, when conformity only invites an ever narrower definition of what is considered acceptable.

In the 1920s, the rich in Suffolk County (NY) were so afraid that a normal person would think of visiting there that they let themselves get swarmed with mosquitos.

“You could play golf there on a weekend and if there were two other golfers on the whole course, you considered the place crowded,” recalls Robert Hollins, the son of one of the members. “God, that place was empty.”

And that was exactly how the members wanted it. As they toured the majestic course that sloped down to the bay, men in caps and knickerbockers and long socks, ladies in long pleated skirts and middy blouses, they considered the lack of people as big an asset as the view. In 1923, Suffolk County established a Mosquito Control Commission and asked various members of the club for contributions. “God, the mosquitoes in the summer were unbelievable on that golf course,” Hollins says. “You’d look at the fellow you were playing with and there might be twenty on his face.” But most Timber Pointers gave nothing. If the commission got rid of the mosquitoes, Mrs. Hollins explained, more “foreigners” might find the South Shore attractive and try to live there. “I’d rather have the mosquitoes,” she told her friends

"Nobody’s going to save you. No one’s going to cut you down, cut the thorns thick around you. ... There is no one who will feed the yearning. Face it. You will have to do, do it yourself." - Gloria Anzaldúa, Dejarse ir (1987)
