Seven years sober. Federal pardon. Half a million people watching him make crack cocaine jokes with more self-possession than most people manage on their best day.
We spent years using Hunter Biden as a political prop. His addiction was a weapon before it was a story. His recovery was ignored because recovery does not move the same needle that relapse does. The caricature was more useful than the person, so the caricature is what we got.
That's over now. He is speaking in his own voice for the first time — unmediated by lawyers, White House optics, or the campaign calculus of people who needed him manageable. What's coming through is something the prop version couldn't carry: actual human texture. Wit without defensiveness. Accountability without performance. A son who watched his father get used and hasn't pretended otherwise.
You don't have to agree with his politics. You don't have to rehabilitate the Biden presidency to receive this honestly. What you owe him — what we owe anyone who survives what he survived and speaks about it without self-pity — is the same thing Patti Davis asked us to give: the recognition that there are a lot of Hunter Bidens in this world. Most of them never get heard. He finally is.
That's worth something. Receive it that way.

that's it, I've had enough of millennial slander. pockets in dresses are good, drinking out of mason jars is fun, side parts look nicer on most women, "Home" is a delightful song. everyone knock it off
BREAKING: We're suing the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service over their plan to give away 715 acres of a public wildlife refuge to billionaire corporation Space X.
Americans shouldn't be sacrificing their public lands to subsidize a company owned by the richest man in the world.
we live in age of great moral panics about things that don’t matter and zero moral outrage over some of the most egregious societal sins we’ve ever seen
If the governments job isn’t to secure even basic shit like clean drinking water for its citizens, what’s its actual purpose?! THIS IS WHAT WE WANT OUR TAXES PAYING FOR
Mamdani? Pays $1K of his own money for a SRO ticket at MSG tonight. Trump? Uses millions of YOUR money to inconvenience half of NYC, just so he can take naps in a luxury box.
