Personal thoughts of an extremely fortunate man. Grateful for this life, hopeful that I can use it to help others. He/him.
- Pro tip: Don't embarrass yourself by trying to say today is at all similar to protests over the summer. Those protests were over unarmed black people being murdered by police. Today is a coup attempt trying to overthrow a legal democratic election. Spot the fucking difference.
- What a great way to end the year. Rot in a cell, you piece of shit.Sorry, let me see if I understand this: Andrew Tate was arrested by Romanian police today on charges of sex trafficking after he put out a video response in anger following Greta Thunberg nuking him from orbit because the video featured a pizza box that revealed his location.Readers added contextAccording to the Romanian prosecutor’s office, the pizza box in Andrew Tate’s video didn’t lead to his detention. It took months to investigate. washingtonpost.com/world/2022/12/…
- I can't even comprehend the passing of Chadwick Boseman. This is hitting me pretty hard and I'm not even a Marvel fan. He was so young and talented and played a role that was monumentally important for so many people. Unbelievable. Rest in Peace.
- I've been a longtime Warren supporter because I think she would make for an effective progressive leader, but if she's serious about wanting a nominee who shares her policies and ideals, she should drop out and endorse Bernie before we wind up with a contested convention.Buttigieg dropping out may actually increase the likelihood of a contested convention. He was polling at <15% almost everywhere on Super Tuesday, meaning he was tracking to get very few delegates, but his votes will help other candidates to get over 15% and get delegates.
- If this isn't the sign of a broken fucking society then nothing is. And yet, nothing will be done, because we're handcuffed to a system more than 2 centuries old created by fallible men, half of whom thought other races weren't real people. American Exceptionalism is a disease.
- Happy 8 year anniversary to the love of my life, @carebecc! Here's hoping we can safely hold our wedding before we hit number 9! STOP IGNORING GUIDELINES PEOPLE COME ON LET US GET MARRIED
- Bought myself a bari sax for Christmas - first time playing one in 13 years, I'm pretty sure. Missed that honking sound so much, love this thing.
- Not sure I'll ever get a gift as cool as this one. @carebecc bought me the actual shoes worn by David Bowie in the Let's Dance music video. I am resisting all urges to try them on, knowing how he and I were pretty similarly sized. So friggin cool.
- I've been in this room for 10 days but just tested positive still on a Lucira test FUCKKK MEEE I JUST WANT TO KISS MY WIFE PET MY CAT AND GO OUTSIIIIIDEEEE
- Making a joke about someone's medical condition isn't cool at all. But assaulting someone in public, then getting to sit back down and receive an award later on, is completely fucked. What an awful example he just set for so many people watching.
- I will always be in favor of and prefer peaceful protests. But remember when Colin Kaepernick and other NFL players peacefully protested by simply kneeling during the anthem? The President called them son[s] of bitches and said they should be fired. They faced nationwide scorn.
- There's so much work to be done. But today is a good day.
