I’m going to guess both are acceptable?
“Open the F’in Strait you crazy Bast**d!”

🧵 BOOKS FOR EARTH DAY 🌎
While writing my book, Becoming Earth, I read — and have continued to read — *a lot* of books about our extraordinary planet. Here are a few of my personal favorites, old and new, with a particular focus on Earth as a dynamic, interconnected, evolving system 🧪 📚💙
I am reading Becoming Earth now. It is educational and thought-provoking with a new way to look at the World around us. It’s also a mini-travelogue (and gardening book 😁). It pushed me to step up my conservation game too.
It’s unbelievable that we need to research what happens when the House majority, at least by number, swings back and forth or winds up tied multiple times in a given term.
Did anyone ask if Spirit Airlines has a turnaround plan? They were known to be failing long before gas prices rose due to this disastrous Trump War, Not a War, with Iran. Trump Shuttle failed due to “extravagant overspending” among other things.
Donald Trump is planning to invest up to $500 million of our tax dollars in Spirit Airlines. The last time he bought an airline, it went bankrupt. time.com/4343030/dona...
We are lucky that the Head of FEMA can teleport at will. He can be on the ground immediately in a time of crisis. 😂🤣
If you miss having competent people dealing with Iran, check out the recent interview Stephen Colbert did with John Kerry on the Obama and Kerry negotiations with Iran for the JCPA. youtu.be/unepFed8M3M?...
If only we knew a person or two who were experts in negotiating with Iran.
just saw someone call Kash Patel “J Edgar Boozer” and need to lie down
He’s saying, “I have been in favor of interest rate raises”. He’s trying to re-write his history of not being in favor of them now that it looks more likely to happen I’m guessing? 🤷♂️
Bill O’Reilly looks like everything I wished on him came true at once.
NEWS: Tim Cook is stepping down as Apple CEO. Apple svp of hardware engineering John Ternus will take on the CEO role starting in Sept. @peard33.bsky.social and I break down Cook's career, his wins, his losses, his legacy as CEO, and what this big change means for Apple www.wired.com/story/tim-co...
She always delivers.
It is getting crazy that the airline fare you see can almost double if you want to earn miles, check a bag, choose your seat, or sit anywhere besides the back row middle seat. Still worth it to go someplace SOMEONE isn’t President of though.
If (when) Vance, Kushner, and Witkoff fail in the Iran Negotiations again, let’s send in Cousin Greg.
I can't imagine why more Americans are moving to Ireland than people from Ireland are moving to the U.S. Is it the 🍊🤡? www.bbc.com/worklife/art...
Elise Stefanik would be our U.N. Ambassador right now if Donald Trump didn't put his interests above the country's and she's still out there dancing like a clown for him. She has no shame.
Considering OpenAI and ChatGPT went from first to worst, something needed to change - a long time ago. I’m just afraid the rot started at the top and is still there.
