If we see anyone of you posturing on TV talk shows today instead of taking concrete action….we will know who is not with us, who has sentenced our country to permanent turmoil, and we will know exactly who is to blame for what comes next. You speak for US, not the despot-in-chief.
No more passing the buck. Seriously, what are YOU going to do?
The president is clearly being derelict in his duties to the American people and the constitution is clear. Your move.

On a lighter note, at least in this timeline we all get to share in awe and with deep respect for this crew.
This is the worst timeline.
Someone with the handle @velocity69.bsky.social is sharing a video with the caption:
"The highest quality video of the moon was just released…
so beautiful
* Artemis II"
It's gone viral, but it's not from Artemis II. If you've shared it, you might want to un-share.
I'm worried. I sat with things for a bit today to try and see through the immediate fears, but I still land largely here: there's no obvious offramp, and the men behind it are not of a caliber which allows for humiliation.
Does that automatically mean nuclear use? No, but… we should be serious. 1/x
Watching the Murdoch Family docuseries on Netflix and …Rupert is as terrible as you think.
Forgot to time his addy meds, I see.
I think we can all agree Bound is hotter. It’s my favorite Jennifer Tilly film!
Geneva Convention 1977 Protocols:
“It is prohibited to attack, destroy, remove or render useless objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population, such as... drinking #water installations & supplies and irrigation works... for any other motive.”
Did I write words today for this new book project? Yes!
Do I like any of those words? No!
Don’t let the door hit ya where the lord split ya, Larry.
Appalling: ICE and CBP contracted for $144 million in weaponry and accessories in Trump's first year, per data obtained by Sen Adam Schiff.
For ICE it's a fourfold increase, much of it for military-style weapons. A heavily armed secret police force. 1/

I’m getting a little sick of saying this, but I think it’s worth repeating, that this speech sounds no different than your average white nationalist website.

It flabbergasted me frankly, but then she opened her mouth to complain about the waitress serving her crab cake and fruit “wrong”, how the room was too cold, and how she was pissed that they didn’t have the right liquor for her cocktail. I was like, “ohhh, ok.”
She ate with a sneer. It tracks.
A few weeks ago I sat across from a Jewish woman at a party who was proudly wearing a Mar-a-Lago sweatshirt along with a Am Yisrael Chai necklace. Some people will never see the light.
Cueing Kylo Ren energy.
Giving the entire cast and crew of Sinners their flowers instead of focusing on the outbursts from the audience is exactly what we need to do today.
I’m not sure if the WSJ denigrating my generation for buying lattes (a sweet treat and energy boost) and this generation for buying chicken with their extra cash (a protein that can sustain life) is better or worse.
Yes! When I lived in Canada I was always fascinated by the curlers who practiced at the rink I used to ice skate at. One time they let me throw the rock and it was so heavy!
Curling is my favorite winter Olympic sport! It makes people think there’s no technique while watching, but until you actually have to try and stay upright while furiously shaking broom to stop a forty four pound granite rock from hitting your own stones, you don’t understand how hard it is.
again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are
his net worth is $253.2 billion.
so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire
and then do it again tomorrow
and again the day after that
and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months
Guess what people? You absolutely DO NOT have to repost Trump’s “Truths” here, particularly when he actively disparages a living president of color during Black History Month. We already know Trump is a racist fuckstick who should have never been elected.
oh btw if you need the CIA World Factbook because they took it down with no warning because we can't have nice things, here's where you can get the PDF for the 2024-2025 edition: annas-archive.li/md5/92d7b783...
This is a must read.
The responsible party model is dead. I remember reading these theories in graduate school and thinking—statesmanship has taken a decided turn for the worse. They think they’re “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington”- type people, but they are not. They want the prestige and access—not to actually govern.
The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll
I’ll play. Loved my little Midwestern SLAC.
