Donald Trump just threatened to unilaterally destroy an entire civilization.

Is there genuinely no limit to what Republicans will allow this unhinged, unwell man to do?

Congress must come back to Washington to rein in this dangerous behavior immediately.

Welp, time to cancel that Ring subscription and set up a private camera system so I can watch the delivery folks chuck my packages over my fence. Oy.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

This is why, as a single lady who lives in Silicon Valley but isn't in tech, I spend so much time screaming into my screaming pillow. These are the same types who shilled "raw water" and were convinced we all wanted to exist as virtual reality avatars.

One crudely drawn cartoon character kicking another screaming cartoon character off a cliff. The falling character is labeled 2025 because this year definitely deserves to die at the bottom of a pit

Not on Bluesky because we weren’t allowed to join, but people get mad because we posted updates reminding them that California's volcanoes are NOT erupting.

Trump moves to shut down Boulder climate research lab NCAR, drawing rebukes from Colorado officials Federal lawmakers called the planned NCAR closure “deeply dangerous” and “blatantly retaliatory.” Gov. Jared Polis said: “If true, public safety is at risk and science…

The dismantling of NCAR should be the trending story on Bluesky, not the fucking Oscars leaving ABC for YouTube.

Seriously considering asking for one of those noise-blocking screaming pillows for Christmas. Anyone have a favorite brand? (Small business artisinal screaming pillows preferred...)

Well, Congress passed a law about it after the last marathon shutdown, but laws seem to be pretty optional these days so 🤷‍♀️

I Am An AI Hater I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

"Incoherent empty men want to sell me the chance to stop reading and writing and thinking, to stop caring for my kids or talking to my parents, to stop choosing what I do or knowing why I do it. Blissful ignorance and total isolation."

A very important doggo from one of today's #NoKings protests. (The other side of his signs says "No tariffs on treats")

Imagine this thread, with added volcanoes, and you've got a decent idea of what my job feels like nowadays. I'm either depressed or angry, unable to plan, constantly on edge. Utterly maddening when all I want to do is help people.
