they keep referring to the LSU coordinator as just "Charlie Weiss" but there's got to be at least a "Jr." in there, or better yet, a slight alteration like "Charles Weiss" or "Carlos."

(Scott Pruitt did that at Trump's DC hotel, this isn't a thing I'm making up)

every nice apartment building i've ever lived in has the shittiest air conditioning unit you could find and every shitty motel i've been in has some industrial freezer device that could cool lava. you should able to buy them the way people sometimes get mattresses after trying them at a hotel.

I wrote this speech and am very pleased with how well he delivered it.

I asked DHS about an ICE recruiting poster that appears to echo a famous recruiting poster for the Rhodesian army. An anonymous spox responded by ranting about "western men." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...



DHS did not deny the connection when I reached out for comment on the provenance of the slogan.

“Western men have always been asked to stand between their homes and the forces that would overrun them,” an anonymous “DHS SPOX” responded in an email. “The people who find that sentence unforgivable are usually not the people standing the post. DHS will not outsource its vocabulary to communist activists who cannot distinguish a sovereign people from a hotel. We will not pretend that ‘Western civilization’ is a slur.”

"The reference—a one-off post with no accompanying context or follow-up—might have gone over the heads of most of Collins’ constituents. But the implications were obvious to plenty on the online right. A poster with the handle “X Wigger” responded: “We are all Rhodesia now.” Another user replied to Collins with a faded photo of three shirtless Rhodesian soldiers, and the words, “PATRIOTS IN CONTROL.” 

“[W]e’ve got a sitting congressman rhodesia-posting now boys,” wrote a staffer at the right-wing outlet The Blaze. “[I]ncredible things are happening.”"

the very first thing I did when I set out to write about the renewed interest in Rhodesia on the right was to see if Mike Collins had ever posted about it. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

the Democratic party is in a rare lunar cycle in which both the jocks *and* the theater kids are ascendant.

it's a great way to start any large gathering. maybe try it at thanksgiving. "we are here this afternoon for the trial of aunt nancy."

@timothypmurphy.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 1:02 AM

you should not feel sorry for the other guy at all, but this is a really funny way to start a debate. imagine walking to the room and Jon Ossoff just starts off like that.

@timothypmurphy.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 12:19 AM

you should get something for winning a debate, like a health boost or a new sword

@timothypmurphy.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 6:33 PM

there were 12 people in that room and we're on our fourth leaked audio

@timothypmurphy.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 12:41 PM

no, that's seven separate campuses in development, in the town of 14,000 that's a centerpiece of Gina Hinojosa's campaign.

@timothypmurphy.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 11:53 AM

well i don't know of a lot of towns that suddenly have 7 factories where none existed a few years ago
