That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

"The media continues to cover politics as if it is still the 1990s. 'Both parties are basically center-right or center-left parties.' The journalism infrastructure in our country wants to pretend that that’s the world that we live in. The instinct is to treat everything politicians say as valid."

Twitter update (about like you’d imagine): The bots are arguing about how we need to surround ourselves with asbestos again. No one can convince me that Musk isn’t linked with Russia with these bots encouraging our demise. Literal arguments about how we need to Make Cancer Great Again.

Today is a rest day. A break before tomorrow's last school program lesson. Shopping. A little recreation. Some sunshine. And whatever else floats my boat. We all need a day or days to reset. It is helpful self care.

The bots on Twitter are over the top crazy about Biden’s diagnosis and “conspiracies” spamming nonsense into everything. I miss when bots weren’t the majority on social media and wonder if we will ever get out of this heartless propaganda brainwashing time period the US is perpetually stuck in.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

INCREDIBLE Ruling! Judge Reyes just ruled that transgender people have served honorably in the military, judges Trumps trans military ban - which states trans people are inherently dishonorable - as unconstitutional and motivated by animus. Trans military members may continue to serve.

I didn’t think Don’t Nod could surpass LiS, but this game was a 10/10 for me. I’ve read some criticism about the slow pacing, but I don’t mind the pace for the kind of game it is. The characters were well-written & the super natural element was great. “The Craft” meets “Foxfire”.

I’m deeply saddened by the tragic loss of life in yesterday’s devastating collision of American Airlines flight 5342—especially the young skaters. My heart goes out to their families, friends and the entire skating community. Wishing you strength and comfort during this incredibly difficult time. 💔💔
