Bummer. Lost Highway is one of my favorite soundtracks. His noir score mixed in surprisingly well with all the eerie 90s alt rock.

so that she can make the system do what it should, not what it’s currently doing?

That’s a very odd remark. What system? Democracy? Rule of law?

i wish democratic politicians were like this sometimes

That’s not a silly bit and she’s not joking.

God, can you imagine what would happen if she had access to Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham? Maybe she should start a Patreon that is nothing but her roasting various political figures.

Holy Goddamn. She starts out at mid-playoff intensity, and actually picks up speed from there. Watching that was transcendent, and I wish she qualified for some sort of genius grant that let her spend a year a year or two just writing and delivering sacred demolitions like this one to the deserving.

It’s probably the least important of the arguments she makes, but if you read the essay from an unbiased…

So, what I’m getting from this is, “It’s okay, because they were following orders.”

Back in the early 80's, it was actually a low-key fashion trend to wear those green Army jackets. I had a few friends who wore them, even though we were still in middle school.
