Since Trump's inauguration, I'm having a good laugh that - just, maybe - Musk finally swallowed a humility pill today.

If we really are entering into a recession, Trump will still blame it on Biden and continue his BS economic policies. #brokenrecordpresident

When will politicians learn that: -when you raise minimum wage, the costs get passed down to consumers; -when you impose tariffs, the costs get passed on to consumers; and -when you lower income taxes on corporations, the costs don't trickle down to consumers? #brokenrecordpoliticians

I just learned blue penguins are blue because of the way sunlight shines on their feathers... Does that make me a redhead when my black, Asian hair get exposure to sunlight?

Trump implementing tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada is going to make new construction even more expensive and slow down construction of new houses and apartment buildings. Oh wait... the real estate mogul, the king of making deals, is afraid of competition?

Been feeling so down lately that my inner goddess is shoving me to read a poorly written book that was turned into an average rated movie. #booksky

Am I the only one too distracted watching the distorted, egghead-shaped Trump reflection on that shiny plate next to Vance?

Ooooh the irony of JD Vance talking about diplomacy, and then within minutes, shit hits the fan with him trying to be diplomatic.

I'm exhausted reading every day on the news how the entire United States has been subjugated into a series of social experiments for the psychopathic rich to test absurd, misinformed ideas that came from quacks who think they are experts at health, politics, economics, international affairs, etc.

Now I have anxiety whether it is safe to eat eggs and poultry because some idiots think it was a good idea to fire federal workers tracking the avian flu and then try to rehire them again. Do you think those people who just got fired are going back to work with high morale? Haha, yeah right.

I thought the 45th president was the worst president of the US. Oh no, the 47th president is even worst. And he has only been in office for what... 31 days?

With the current situation with eggs in US, I don't think it is even safe to eat one of my go-to comfort dish, which is similar to this: www.thekitchn.com/tamago-kake-... Or throw in a raw egg into chicken udon soup. 😢

If the Republicans are so against birth right citizenship, then I'm against Pro-Trump millionaires and billionaires setting up offshore accounts.

Trump could have chosen any president to highlight on Day 1, but he chose McKinley for a reason. And it's very foretelling what the next four years will be like. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“Political ruses work, and, in fairness to McKinley, we can think of other cynical, propagandistic manipulations of language in the name of democracy–e.g., the false claim about the North Vietnamese in the Gulf of Tonkin, the vial of yellow cake proffered as . . ." writerunboxed.com/2024/07/30/w...

This week has been mentally and emotionally draining, and it's not over yet. 😭 I don't take a bombardment of bad news in a short period of time very well...

“When I’m not feeling great physically—tired, irritable, sluggish—usually it’s because I’m eating poorly. In the same way, when I feel mentally scattered and distracted—I know it’s time to clean up my information diet.” ryanholiday.net/this-habit-i...

When Musk denies that he did a big ol Nazi salute during the inauguration, remember this, from Jean-Paul Sartre, 1944.

I finally got to watch all of Fantastic Beasts and now learned this series isn't a trilogy. Oh, come on. #latetothegame

SO if I just slept through the past 24 or so hours, I could've skipped this panic-and-then-relief drama with Tik Tok and Trump... before inauguration day.

I just want to buy the book for my kid now.

It is easier to read about Proust than read actual Proust. Eighty pages of De Botton's book went by fast than reading two or three pages of Proust's In Search of Lost Time.
