Imagine a historian in 2035 writing a political history of the 2020s, and he points out that every election, the out-of-power party won a cost-of-living election and then used their mandate to ignore or exacerbate affordability only to be destroyed in the next election, where voters again said “to be clear, I don’t want whatever bullshit you’re up to, I just want life to feel more affordable,” and then, once again, the winning politicians prioritized everything except affordability, and this story repeated itself over and over again.
One of my strongest held political opinions right now is: Democrats should do everything they can to avoid that history being written.
I’ve worked over a decade in far more physically demanding manual labor jobs with almost no back issues, thank goodness, yet casing the mail for seven months at USPS had me using the heating pad at night. Something about all that repetitive moment while standing in place

Spotted today in midtown Kansas City. Unfortunately, on some level, you do kind of gotta hand it to this guy
A couple months ago someone came up to me on a Wednesday and did the “guess what day it is? hump day” bit and I had to stand there for 10 seconds scanning them like the Terminator for layers of irony. Shockingly found none

The Ole Miss girl should have claimed to have Tourette. There’s still time to squeeze a second act into the black people vs Tourette war of 2026

I suppose it says good things about me that my enemies are all the biggest cowards in the world who attack me through anonymous spreadsheets, confidential tattling to my employers about social media activity, and sniping at me from alt accounts that haven’t posted in four years

MeToo has always been the strongest pillar of the liberal identity politics moral panics. Even after all its leading activists compromised themselves with Biden’s allegation in 2020, it kept chugging along, surging every couple years unfazed despite the same contradictions.

Kirk Cousins and Jameis Winston hung around long enough and compiled enough good vibe moments that they transcended the need to be above decent and still get celebrated

Camping in the left lane is one of those things I oppose in the abstract except nine times out of 10 the person invoking it is a dickhead who thinks it’s the responsibility of everyone else on the road to ensure they can drive 90 mph at all times

Thinking about a brief period where I pulled double shifts working two different jobs on my feet. Pretty crummy time in my life, but loogit all those steps I took!

I still think about the moving job I had maybe a decade ago where I moved a woman into a condo building way out in rural Virginia that was a converted former mental hospital. I wonder how long she lasted
