Guys, if you love anything in the world, love it NOW. Go out and enjoy every fucking second of all of this while we still have it. Fight like hell to keep it as long as we can. Show up. Do the thing. Don't let yourself forget what we have to live for.

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

I feel like I've said this to myself every week for a nearly decade and Democrats have let me down 472 times in a row. But maybe this time it'll be different!

in one of the pierce brosnan bond movies the villain is a newspaper guy who wants the world in chaos bc it means more news for him to sell. I remember watching it and being like "this is impossibly dumb" but you know what, I may have been wrong on that

Worried about our nation’s descent into fascism? This one pot cacio e pepe will make you feel like you’re in 1920s Italy.

It's becoming a volunteer one. There's no longer any money in journalism. We defunded a critical public utility because it wasn't profitable, created a massive vacuum, and now here we are. Even if we strike out on our own, there's no way to survive unless you have someone covering our bills.

Been screaming this from the rooftops for years, and hope people are finally ready to listen: media as we once knew it is dead and gone, and it's future is FUCKED. The biggest war we've been (yes, BEEN) fighting hasn't been for the control of oil, but for information.

If you're from Maryland and would like your brand new senator Angela Alsobrooks to stop voting for Trump's nominees, give her office a call and leave her a voicemail. I've been told it moves the needle, since everyone hates phone calls now. 202-224-4524

The highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not “You were right.” It’s “You made me think.” Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity. The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.

YES YES YES! This is how Twitter felt til about 2015, then it all went to hell. The youths are getting a fleeting taste of hope and promise and I love it. We need more moments of this. It's not dead yet, goddamnit!

I was raised to believe that a fellow like Elon Musk would have been taken out by some James Bond-esque org by now so what's the hold up on this

My new senator Angela Alsobrooks has voted Yes on several Trump nominations. If you're in Maryland she's your senator, too, so you might want to give her a call and let her know how you're feeling about her job performance thusfar: 202-224-4524

My sons are starting college, and this is the world they're being handed. It's the future your kids are getting, too. And it's going to look nothing like the past.

If longevity mattered, Dumb & Dumber would have a Best Picture Oscar. Yet it didn't even get a nomination! The greatest movie of the 20th century, snubbed entirely!

I ate an entire one of those Hormel salami and cheese platters for dinner last night, in the event you've been wondering how I'm holding up.
