now we have Luigi’s boomerang, I guess. When social murder comes home to roost.

It's from a 2006 article by David Sirota.

Mr. Obama Goes to Washington | The Nation

The quotation in context

Obama has a remarkable ability to convince you that his positions are motivated purely by principles, not tactical considerations. This skill is so subtle and impressive, it resembles Luke Skywalker's mastery of the Force. It's a powerful tool for a Democratic Party that often emanates calculation rather than conviction. "I don't think in ideological terms. I never have," Obama said, continuing on the healthcare theme. "Everybody who supports single-payer healthcare says, 'Look at all this money we would be saving from insurance and paperwork.' That represents 1 million, 2 million, 3 million jobs of people who are working at Blue Cross Blue Shield or Kaiser or other places. What are we doing with them? Where are we employing them?"

During 1982, Mussolini released a pop music album of romantic songs under the title Amore on Alfa Records; the album was released only in Japan and has since become something of a collectors item.

To some extent there has to be panic in the government, law enforcement, ceos obviously trying to figure out how best to handle this whole situation. I'm sure theres a lot of meetings and phone calls and ideas bouncing around among the ruling class...

So its really funny at a possibly crucial moment for the empire, when clear, careful and decisive leadership is required, there might as well not be a president at all because the husk that was once Joe biden is incapable of understanding or even remembering what's happening

I almost blocked him yesterday at Bluesky because I thought his posts would be entirely boring. Now I wonder how often he'll post stuff worth sharing here.

Today, we bid farewell to our kind and beloved neighbor, Rami, my husband's friend, who was martyred by an airstrike while sitting at the door of his house in northern Gaza with his friend. He had no political ties, he was simply a Gaza citizen. They were targeted by a Zanana missile. Despite the great pain his loss has caused us, we know that Rami is in a place of honor with Allah. Please pray for his mercy and forgiveness, and for us to have patience in this difficult time.
