Q: What we gonna do this weekend, Brain? A: Same thing we do every weekend, Pinky. Try to keep Trump from taking over the world.

Someone once said NextDoor is the social network for dogs if they could type. It’s always “what’s that noise?” and “who’s that stranger?” which is exactly what I imagine my dogs would text other neighborhood dogs.

Fantasizing that a history text from the future falls out of the space-time continuum to show all of these lawyers what their collaborationist asses will look like. I hope it's a thick history book, and I hope it hurts when it falls on them.

All the right's fearmongering over George Soros, and this guy is literally out here buying votes for the world to see.

We are heartbroken and outraged to learn that Alfredo "Lelo" Juarez was violently detained by ICE while dropping his partner off at work. He is reportedly being held at a private detention facility in Tacoma, Washington. 🧵

Why am I being sent a bill only on paper in the mail? That's no way to get in touch with people. Do they even want their money?

And Elon is showing us that a Truth & Reconciliation process might not be enough to rehabilitate a country. The Nuremberg Trials made some impression for 80 years. These actions by the Trump administration are crimes against humanity and should be treated accordingly.

The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

I’m once more seeing way too much “lol why are you surprised by this bad thing omg you’re so naive to think it’s worth trying to do something about it” and, like, that’s called a demoralization campaign, kids. No matter how many affinity group signals it has plastered all over it.

You know it, if the Pope dies, Trump will try to appoint a new one all by himself. And try to relocate the new Pointiff so he can turn the Vatican into a beautiful casino.

When we talk about 'funding crisis' we should really distinguish between whether it's a temporary cash flow/liquidity problem, or an insolvency one. With PBOT, it's insolvency, and I don't think it's a bad thing we are where we are. 🧵

These are suggestions, if they work for you. Personally, I can't. Google has realized the early cyberpunk dream: it's basically a government now, and I'm not ready- yet- to leave either it or the USA. I'll fight from the inside. I think that's my decision, for now.

OK. New York has wanted to be the resistance capital since the 2nd Bush admin. Here's their chance. You can't depend totally on the West, we have these tech bros to deal with.

It's not entirely fair and I'm sure it hurts at this end of his career, but Biden's name is going to look a lot like Neville Chamberlain's in the historical record, if there are historians around to write the record.
