there are powers that will do everything they can to convince you otherwise, but it should be said loudly that protest proves love. community is a conduit for love and oppression seeks to crush community. standing up to say no is an act of love

(being normal) wow, how about those events?

This is a vitally important point to remember. Big force displays often reveal deep weaknesses—and a profound self-awareness of them.

I support the use of the National Guard to stamp out lawlessness so, yes, dispatch them immediately to the White House

wow buying the federal government was maybe even a worse investment than buying twitter huh

If Gen Z really wants to dunk on millennials, they should learn about Foursquare and go around saying stuff like, "I hear you're the mayor of this Panera Bread."

It may be hard for the activists to accept, but the truth is no community is a monolith. For instance, I have heard from many people who tell me they WANT to get sliced clean in half with my big laser. They actually prefer it. Being in half

It spells "ketamine" if you keep going!

the democrats should invite Elon to meet with them. tell him that the meeting is on a patch of sticks and leaves that APPEARS to be sitting atop solid ground. but here is the twist,

gentleman, gentleman, please, there's no need for this! you are both in the epstein files.

As mentioned on this week's Thought Spiral, here's the short film I made earlier this century, "The Mediocre Samaritan" youtu.be/B4VH8X2av8s?...

King: hey uh King: where's elon? Barker: why? do you want him here? King: NO King: no i mean King: he's usually here King: it's not like him to not show up Poe: we moved the campfire without telling him King: that usually doesn't stop him

you’re laughing? the leopards have resorted to cannibalism and you’re LAUGHING?

Well this couldn’t have come at a better time www.bbc.com/news/article...

Whoever loses, we win.

a friend of mine shared this ai-generated "emotion wheel" and unfortunately i have been laughing my ass off at it for like 15 minutes now. today i am feeling Fnliinneon

Whatever it is, this is my favourite sport.

[space coven] Robert Heinlein: people, i'm afraid that the situation on earth is hopeless Heinlein: elon musk has been ejected from the government and with him dies the dream of a utopian libertarian outpost on Mars free from the tyranny of age of consent laws

Leo: On the plus side, they'll name the new species of beetle after you.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

In April, we took to the streets for the biggest day of civic protest in years. No Kings Day on June 14 is going to be even bigger, with more events in more places to reject Trump’s authoritarianism. Please join us at your local No Kings Day event in two weeks: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Years from now, this picture will be in History textbooks, in the "Collapse of the American Empire" chapter. Students will have essay prompts like "explain the ways in which online conspiracy theories accelerated imperial collapse." Most all their opening sentences will use the phrase "brain worms"

So, this Unbound/Boundless fiasco. I was going to be polite about it, but after this morning’s email: no

It's Friday ... and on Fridays we dance
