Just a reminder of how insignificant we are in the greater universe yet beautiful at the same time.

💯% Agreed. What's more frustrating is how Dems ate each other (but I bet Karine Jean Pierre will spill the tea on that)

Suicide of a superpower is the correct characterization of #MAGA and its leadership that worships destruction, ugliness, and grift while abhorring empathy, collaboration, and beauty.

After getting some of his retribution against Gawker for outting him, apparently Peter Thiel lost his belief of privacy for all. Pretty sure everyone who enjoys anti-social destructive conduct has some personal history of unrequited "trauma".

🤔... I wonder why. Two prominent symbols that have been hijacked by #MAGA are (1) Christianity and (2) the flag of the United States of America. Nothing that MAGA stands for is congruent with either symbol.

Foreseeable. The lesson is don't insult your prospective customer base.

💯% and for my Bluesky peeps that can't see the anti-Christian acts of this administration, I ask that they revist The Book of Matthew Chapters 16 through 23 and compare Christ's teachings and warnings to the headlines.

I wish Fox News would move the fuck out of Times Square if they think New York sucks so fucking much. Good luck broadcasting out of Fort Lauderdale!! And somehow Bessent's own family wouldn't be welcomed in Florida... What is up with these "Log Cabin Republicans"?

Bottom line: ethics is more important in our elected officials than even intelligence. What we're witnessing is a government run by politicians without a firm moral compass...but like Joseph de Maître wrote, "a nation gets the government that it deserves".

"Mercenary medical system" is an accurate description.

People tend to confuse those using crass language or who are otherwise uncouth as being truthful because people, too often, elevate politeness to social deception. Tip: just because someone is overtly crass doesn't make that person honest.

From your lips to God's ears, but Trump's goal is to turn his cult against prestigious higher education institutions so his cult members can stay stupid and get grifted. Why not get a dash of democracy destroying policy in the interim?

These companies would go belly-up overnight if people weren't so willing to give away their data in order to doomscroll for free. If it's free, you're the product.

They need to keep Biden's name out of their mouths. Biden's health was ONLY an issue if you thought VP Harris wasn't fit to be POTUS so I see you @jaketapper.bsky.social

The latter apparently, but when their relegated to writing puff pieces about Melania's hats, they have NO ONE to blame but themselves. We all are in some way culpable for this abomination.

While the GOP abdicates their own roles as a co-equal branch of government.

Speaker Johnson wrote "...turn [the economy] around" so yes, expect a 100% chance of a recession (perhaps a Big Beautiful -not so Great- Depression). #BigBeautifulDepression #Bearish

A theory: the "torturee" stole the arrestee's crypto and after doing a blockchain analysis because, dumb criminals, blockchain movements are public, the arrestee used his hot Italian assistant to lure the 27 year old crypto thief to NYC to try to get his crypto back. [and scene]

Jesse Owens's achievements had an impact far beyond sports. Thanks for recognizing a few of them!

In 21st century American culture, bullying those perceived to be weaker is profitable because there is a lower likelihood of adverse economic consequences, which is why "[we have] the government that [we] deserve." (Joseph de Maistre).

Maybe he (Dr. Mike New) was just "negging" as the Pick-Up Artist (PUA) community named it. (Hat-tip to Neil Strauss's The Game)

These fools think that they'll secure them with drones and robots when they're one EMP event from getting sent to the dark ages and later trying to figure out how to fish without access to Google.
