i can't abide romantic notions

maybe we should all watch the goldfinch and it chapter two again and read some richard siken and the secret history and all wear wool coats and long scarves while listening to the national's terrible love and then we can rediscover some long lost peace

Lovely sentiment but the way it’s worded sounds like this dude got fucking killed during a little league game

the kindly chaser...

I'd just like to clarify some things about Senator Cory Booker's marathon Senate speech in protest of the present administration and everything they are doing to the American people.

Senator Booker was NOT allowed to sit down, eat, or use the bathroom during his speech. Sitting or leaving the room to use the bathroom would be considered yielding the floor. Eating would have interfered with his speaking and the person who has the senate floor must continue to speak, except when listening to questions that they will then answer.

He only took occasional sips of water.

The person who previously held the record for longest speech on the Senate floor did have bathroom breaks and also did things like read from the encyclopedia.

Senator Booker did not do that. His speech was to point out the damage that this administration is doing and he stayed on that subject.

Senator Booker's speech did reach many people. It wasn't a silly stunt that was done so that he could take the record for longest speech. He wanted to show the country that democrats will do something to bring attention to the problems we are facing. That democrats are listening to them.

Senator Cory Booker spoke for 25 hours and 4 minutes to "make good trouble."

for those who are too young to know about Strom, he was literally a white supremacist

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the mom probably doesn't share your love for this.

She goin off on a limb.

Hhhate it when people on my side of an argument are making bad points. You’re literally right why are you being stupid about it

Republicans: we can just have Elon Musk go to Wisconsin and give everyone money. He'll give them a million dollars. It's all legal as long as we hold power forever and can stop anyone from doing anything to stop us. All of Wisconsin is bribed, nothing can go wrong now
