Seattle musician/songwriter/composer. Dem, Anti-MAGA, Anti-GOP. Likely to the left of most of you, but I also live in the land of what's reachable. Little patience with those who don't. #Mizzou #UW #Mariners #Seahawks #SeattleStorm

From Catcher in the Rye: ""Oh, how lovely! Perhaps you know my son, then, Ernest Morrow? He goes to Pencey." "Yes, I do. He's in my class." Her son was doubtless the biggest bastard that ever went to Pencey, in the whole crumby history of the school. He was always going down the corridor, after he'd had a shower, snapping his soggy old wet towel at people's asses. That's exactly the kind of a guy he was."
Rep. Stansbury speaking about her vote against funding Israel
Grandpa from The Simpsons saying, "So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time"

Straight of Hormuz labeled, "Islamic Republic of Japan"
While I’m assigning blame, I shouldn’t leave out myself. Last October, when stories about Platner’s tattoo and Reddit posts first broke, I went to Maine to write about him. I tried to convey what I saw: a campaign that was electrifying angry Maine voters. But I deeply regret that, impressed by Platner’s political charisma, I wrote that he was “nothing like the edgelord caricature I encountered online.” If anything, he seems to be significantly worse.
NY Times headline: "MAGA Base Stays Quiet After Trump Reports Billions in Personal Gains"

You're at work and going to order pizza as a group. There is no other food available other than what they order out, and you have to eat it. People seem to be wanting to choose Thai or Italian food. You don't really like Thai food but you can tolerate it. But you are allergic to Italian food. What you really, really want is Lithuanian food, it's the BEST. If ONLY people knew, they would go for it. The vote is about even so far between Thai and Italian, but you are successful in getting a couple of Thai fans to vote for Lithuanian food with you. The votes are cast and lunch is ordered. 30 minutes later, Italian food shows up. Bon Appetit.
Venn diagram of Democrats and Republicans, with a long list of their significant differences, and one one overlap: support for Israel. Bro looking at diagram and saying, "Both parties are the same - they both love genocide so I can't vote for either."
"Trending" list with "Iran Deal" fixed to have "Deal" in quotes.
Diagram mocking people who say there is no difference between the parties so they didn't vote.
My pinned post: "Hardly anyone will read this because I am not one of Those Accounts, but: The most irresponsible msg people can be putting out now is trying to convince people that 2026 elections will not happen. If we don't prep for 2026 elections, and they do happen, we hand the GOP even more power. Stop it."
"The sports of these people were cruel in the extreme. One of the chiefest among them was a contest in resistance to blows. In this sadistic pastime, the contenders, standing before tens of thousands of screeching, orgiastic onlookers, wrapped their fists in pads and undertook to beat each other to insensibility. The man who was able thus to batter senseless every challenger was known as the 'heavyweight champion' of the world. These bloody battles often produced in the participants a permanent state of idiocy which the public regarded as hilariously amusing. The sight of two men hammering each other in this fashion-occasionally, indeed, to death-was doubtless some psychic compensation to the ordinary man for the formidable and revolting circumstances in which he was forced to live....

Room full of monkeys at typewriters, lab scientist emerging with stack of paper and telling associate, "No Shakespeare yet, but here's another copy of 'Art of the Deal'."
post from "Renee in L.A." - What makes anyone think Platner will be a "blue" vote should he (God forbid) win the senate seat? He's a scumbag; hateful towards every group but cis-het wht men; and he has stated himself he's voted for Collins each time she ran. Everything about him says MAGA Trojan horse. Smarten up.
