DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

I feel kind of slow for just realizing this but... "Deep State" is just been a euphemism for "checks and balances."

GREAT NEWS! My wife and I were doing errands and we discovered the solution to the crisis. Just send all the Democratic congressfolks here.

Every ten minutes here is like: - Trump doubles student debt - Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs - Three planes just crashed - Trump signs EO making women illegal - Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA - Meteor not arriving fast enough

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

One can only hope.

Chill is almost an understatement.

Same. (I consider myself a team player. But which team?)

Okay, brief break from overwhelming rage at the destruction of democracy to say that that was one hell of an episode of Severence tonight.

Only the best people.

This.

This is, frankly, terrifying.

Look the details are still coming in but in general the assault on biomedical and other scientific research right now is unprecedented. They are going to kill cancer patients, infectious disease patients, and plenty more. It’s dark as hell.

eeesh. this tweet is from one week ago.

Does anyone remember the finale of Breaking Bad season 2? Just wondering.

Don't tell me that the billionaires running the country don't have my interests at heart. You don't know my interests. What if my interests are to eat shit and die

The discourse around the pervasive tendency among our political, media, and business elites to accommodate Trump and signal compliance is, in my opinion, focused too much on the idea that they are “obeying because they’re cowards” - as opposed to the idea that many don’t think Trump is all that bad.

Amazing thread (possibly because I agree on so many).

One of my favorite films ever.

If Musk *actually* ran SpaceX. xkcd.com/3018/

So much this. I’ve always considered the credits part of the film and want to watch them without having to find the remote to make those suggestions go away.

Well during his divorce proceedings he said he believed a worm in his brain had diminished his cognitive capabilities and stopped clocks, man

Tika’s been hearing about some of the new cabinet nominees’ history with dogs.

I'm pretty sure that a lot of what Trump and his minions are proposing with using the power of the government to get revenge on political and media "enemies" would be impeachable offenses if anything meant anything anymore.

I believe there is significant demand for car-free, walkable neighborhoods in this country, and I think we should make it legal for every city and town to create them.
