You know, maybe I’m too prideful, but if I’d ever tweeted “I’m voting for the leopard, so it can eat the libs’ faces!” I think I would simply not later tweet “noooo the leopard is eating my face nooooo”

you know who else came from chicago and was on "a mission from god"

It's honestly impressive how Nintendo took a working an intuitive system for digital game licensing and sharing and tossed the entire thing out for a worse and more confusing experience. Nintendo doing what they do best.

This is what Donald Trump and Elon Musk want - suffering and death, especially that of children. Because they are evil people who worship death.

In this moment, with so many of our institutions - economic, social, educational - being actively undermined, when I think of what my role as a historian is, my mind goes to my favorite passage from The Lord of the Rings. For I also am a steward. Did you not know?

Guster Mood: To tell you the truth, I've said it before Tomorrow I start in a new direction One last time these words from me I'm never saying them again And I shut the light And listen as my watch unwinds

Always good on Appomattox day to remember that Robert E. Lee was a vile human being whose historical portayal as a reluctant defender of slavery is based on complete fabrication. He was a committed white supremacist who believed slavery reflected a natural order and commanded his army as such.

Donald Trump hates you and wants you and your family to die.

As a matter of policy I think hateful Nazi trash should be thrown in prison and executed for treason, not given jobs in the government.

They're building concentration camps.

SEATTLE WASHINGTON SHOWED UP!!! ✊

Feels like something different today, like a dam broke. It's going to be a long, hard road but I do believe the people will in fact prevail over the fascists.

New York Fucking City. A full mile of people filled to the brim. Fascism is going to lose.

ChatGPT ass presidency

Look, for over a year, one brave Cassandra was warning you that massive tariffs were coming and that they’d wreak havoc on the economy. But no one listened to Donald Trump.

Equity Arc, which trains young musicians of color, was set to play with the US Marine Band — until Trump's anti-DEI order canceled the show. But Chicago stepped up, and now the students will perform at @chicagosymphony.bsky.social on 4/6. Grab a free ticket and join me in cheering them on. cso.org

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

Every so often, it just comes back to me in full force. The political and economic order that allowed this man to come to power is obviously no longer tenable. The leaders who let it happen obviously have to be replaced. This is an epoch defining failure and we have to turn the page completely.

elon musk can eat shit 🫶🏻

Now I’m just a small town country lawyer but it feels as though rather than abandoning our most targeted and marginalized communities to win over 19 bigots, Democrats should run on “we’re going to impeach remove and imprison that demented evil criminal fuck and his pale ratty Nazi billionaire, too”

Trans rights are human rights!

I need this PON PON PATA PON in my life immediately.

@governorferguson.bsky.social please tell me you have a similar statement standing up for the people of Washington State.

The Times has to issue a correction here. An Executive order can’t “require” any such thing. Calling it ‘an aggressive push to catch” fraud is bad editorial judgment. The first part is demonstrably false. Those who have any voice to the Times need to demand this. Might as well say pigs fly.

If I'm following correctly, multiple Trump admin officials, including Tulsi Gabbard, have both perjured themselves AND admitted to committing illegal and totally incompetent acts today in front of Congress.
