Certainly not Moby-Dick, which is deadly serious. It is actually historically accurate the way they want all the sperm out of -Dick and also revenge. For lamp oil and such they squeeze and squeeeze sperm til they go insane. That's really how it worked so don't make it a big joke

@freganmitts People forget that some relationships (doctor/patient; pastor/parishioner; teacher/student) exist outside of capitalism! The student is not the customer of the teacher!

@DKThomp The MAHA people I know personally are health nuts because they are terrified of going to the doctor and will put it off for any slight reason

@janecoaston Yup! Enjoy getting a cut on your hand and dying of sepsis! The general smell alone would make you want to kys

There is an insane yet widespread belief it is the Democrats' responsibility to save the GOP from itself.

This is why blame always shifts to Democrats, even when they hold no power and the disaster is caused entirely by Republicans, who are never held responsible for anything.

Shocking how bad this bill is:

- 17 million would lose health care

- 30% higher electricity costs

- Millions of manufacturing and construction jobs destroyed

- Biggest ever cut in food assistance for families, kids, veterans

- $4 trillion in deficits

- $1 trillion in tax cuts for millionaires & billionaires

People should be on the phones, in the streets, and telling everyone who’ll listen

RIP Henry James you would have loved the story of an American from the Midwest who enters a world of European intrigue

Overheard: “William Henry Harrison had a better first 100 days, and he spent 70 of them dead.”

@janecoaston So sorry for your loss, I recently lost my mother and it is a difficult experience—writing a parent’s obituary is hard!

@janecoaston Take it from a Nebraska fan, the highs aren’t as high as the lows are low

@janecoaston Yeah the way that guy got memory holed by the whole R party was insane (and makes it even more crazy that they didn’t do the same to Trump after January 6)

I’m just glad that my faith in humanity isn’t alive to see any of this.
