- Existential crisis began at 7. (7 years old, not 7 am this morning.) It's been a long crisis. Too tired for primal scream. Primal whimper scheduled for dinner, in between bites of broccoli.

- Reposted by Joshremember those 3 weeks last year when they were loudly called weird creeps and the weird creeps lost their fucking minds and melted down, the whole thing was funny & it was *working* then of course the Dem leadership/consultant class put a STOP to all that because they have a public failure kink
- the centrist “identity politics is bad” argument, sneering at leftists over pronouns - like we’re fixated on arcane academic concepts and you need a PhD in gender studies just to express an opinion - falls apart pretty fast when you reframe this as Normal Humans vs. Creeps Spying On Strangers Peeing
- Reposted by JoshI know lawyering up and shutting up is scary. Believe me. I do. But you CANNOT talk your way out of an arrest or detention. You CAN talk your way into charges, arrest, or detention. And you'd be amazed how often the response to lawyering up is just letting you go.

- Reposted by JoshSing it from the rooftops: congestion pricing in NYC is an unambiguous triumph. It is succeeding beyond its backers wildest aspirations & none of the second-order effects people worried about have come to pass. It's a pure win. Celebrate it! Talk about it! For once, let's own the f'ing narrative.

- RFK Jr is a serial killer. He admits it frequently. Here he is saying he wants to see sick kids die from measles. HE WANTS CHILDREN TO DIE. That is why he is in the Trump White House — to kill sick children (and adults, tbf) He is a serial killer. Full stop.

- My favorite thing about this incarnation of Barça is the style of football they play. It's not just that they score a lot of goals, though that is fun, it's that they play such a beautiful style of football, and that's why I became a fan of this club. I love the aesthetics, creativity, the artistry.
