Calling Trump starting a war a “distraction” makes that word meaningless. It’s the whole story, he flails any way he can to feel any sense of control and dominance. And he doesn’t care who he gets killed. And millions could die because he tore up a peace deal because he didn’t make it.

If anyone calls the Times "liberal," avoid them, because they're monstrous fascists. Stephen Crowley and Guy Trebay didn't write the headline, of course, and I'm not interested in reading the article.

I've said before that the thing that seems to work with normies is to point out the NYT position on trans people aligns with the fake hate organization with 200 members trying to pass itself off as the American Academy of Pediatrics - instead of the position of the 67,000 doctors in the real AAP.

Pro writing tip: when segueing from the middle of a flashback within a flashback to the main timeline, but skipping ahead from where you left it, a little explanation of what you skipped will help avoid confusion on the part of your readers. We don't have your outline in front of us.

Amazon just keeps getting worse and worse. I went to rebuy my MiO Acai Berry water enhancer, and got this. Note: No *featured* offers. Kicker: the product I wanted *is* available on Amazon, delivered through Prime as I prefer; this one (what the hell flavor is "Green Thunder"? yuck) comes through

Answering some of the Qs about Cuomo's campaign, one by one... First: What about the sexual harassment charges? Aren't they in the past? (Spoiler: No, and especially not since he's shown no interest in change or repentance.) amandalitman.substack.com/p/the-case-a...

Andrew Cuomo is a crypto-Republican. NYC folks, DON'T vote for him!

The gall to say the United States is a nation of laws when our president has broken fucking half of them openly, and is still in the fucking White House. lol no.

I just have to say, as a historian of the Reconstruction-era Klan, that masked paramilitaries are very bad and masked vigilantes are even worse and there are causal links between the two and none of this is good for democracy.

PSE&G (my local power company) has a mobile app, so you can report a power outage, but it requires MFA (OK) by phone call (NOT OK). There being nowhere to complain about this on the app itself, I logged into their website and left this message for customer service.

Fuck. I appear to have applied to Palantir for a job. I forgot they're the monster we're trying to slay. Well, I'll ghost them. IF they get back to me, which I'd be surprised to see.

Went to add him to three or four block lists, but already had him blocked on someone else's list! (MAGA Trolls, in case you're curious.)

I'm a psychiatrist with plenty of experience diagnosing dementia. We do not need an in-person interview or a brain scan to observe this man's progressive cognitive decline. Note his obsession with the number 88—for Heil Hitler. I think someone said the flagpoles are 88 feet high.

The secret police lying about being chased away with their tails between their legs, and the trust between the Dodgers organization and the Latino community in LA.

we were driving & I saw the leaves on a tree curl up & a horse turn & run FAST toward the barn & I turned to my child & said, “sky is about to rip open.” Right then a giant streak of lighting split the sky & it started to POUR & I cackled like a witch and my daughter said what is wrong with you smh

This is the smartest damn thing I’ve heard all year. If nothing else, it might serve to erode employers‘ trust in ChatGPT.

OK, folks: Cast the live-action remake! Chris Pine did Jack's voice in the animated one, but he doesn't look the part. The role requires a lot of poses kinda like Spiderman, so maybe Tom Holland? Could his hair bleach frost-white like that? Could blue contacts be convincing? Weigh in please.

Doesn't Trump understand that the Nobel Committee would sooner chop up their firstborn and feed them to rabid hamsters than give him the fucking Peace Prize, even if by some cosmic disaster he might actually deserve it?

And please don’t elaborate instead of repeating. Your explanation of whatever you were talking about does nothing to help someone who has no idea what you were talking about understand what you were talking about. Just. Repeat.
