Trump never misses an opportunity to remind you that he was born too rich to ever buy his own groceries.

Someone got some new polling.

Winning campaign slogan here if anyone wants it.

BTW the people who spent the last few years advocating for Palestine were clearly 100% right that normalizing war crimes and genocide there would just increase the likelihood of inhumane actions elsewhere. Just saying.

I am not one of those who believes that history repeats, but consider the following from Herodotus: the Oracle at Delphi told the fabulously wealthy King Croesus that if he invaded Persia he would "destroy a great empire." Croesus invaded and lost--the empire he destroyed was his own.

Dr. Strangelove still. Capt. Lionel Mandrake looks freaked out as hell. The insane general Jack D Ripper has his arm around him.

We won't last 33 more months of this.

This must stop.

We must make it stop.

Prosecuting and purging the Republican Party was Biden’s one job. When he failed to do his duty it was just a waiting game to this moment.

for me impeachment isn't what we should be after. this president and most of his cabinet and staff should be prosecuted for corruption, fraud, war crimes, obstruction, and all the various crimes they have committed. i will only vote for a presidential candidate in 2028 who commits to this.

Drag him out by his cankles, prosecute him for what’s in the Epstein files and/or hand him over to The Hague for war crimes. Before it’s too late.

Never forget Dems like @repgreglandsman.bsky.social who voted for this, not because it's what their constituents wanted, but because it's what they wanted.

Just going to leave this here.

Glad I went to see Project Hail Mary instead of watching this.

"When should we schedule this pointless primetime presidential speech that offers no new developments and no news? The calendar is wide open."

"Uh, how about April Fool's Day?"

"Perfection." (finger guns)

Happy to share my new article in Slavic Review on migration, trade, and imperialism in Central Asia. In 1877, Russian authorities apprehended a "Turkish mullah," Hajji Ahmed, allegedly proselytizing in the Kazakh steppe. Hajji Ahmed turned out to be ... (1) doi.org/10.1017/slr....

I know of a big arrest they could make that will lead to a slam dunk conviction on trafficking minors for sexual abuse and money laundering.

There are some truly sick people in this world.

Dream Weaver by Gary Wright. Supposedly, the song inspired A Nightmare on Elm Street... I assume it's not because of the dream imagery, but because it haunts your mind until it kills you.

Democratic consultants: To replicate Mamdani’s success with the young people we must appeal to their short attention spans with memes and TikTok

Text reads chem test today, I’m prepared to cheat on the whole thing. They’re already in the classroom and it seems too late to stop them from cheating.

They’ve decided to cheat with ChatGPT, saying: “Hello chat, I’m going to upload four pictures and a couple of minutes (they probably meant in.. omg 😭) I need you to give me the answers for every problem, do not explain how to get the answer, just show me the answer and the slight work for it if it needs it. If it’s an ABCD question, immediately give me the answer.” ChatGPT replies: “Got it” and gives them the instructions back in full and tells them to go ahead and upload the images.

They got their test back, their result is an F, who could’ve seen that coming right?

This text to ChatGPT reads: Chat let me know how I got an F. ChatGPT: You probably got an F, because many of the answers I gave you earlier were wrong. It then proceeds to show them the correct answers from the test.

A story in four parts. 😭
