I can't unsee what you did there.

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt. Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.

I see some of you saying that the Democrats warned that all of this would happen with Tr*mp 2 and let's say you're right/correct. Why then were they not prepared to counter from day 1 when he won? Why are they so ineffective? Why should people entrust them with power in the future?

This is the Second Amendment moment that gun nuts have been fantasizing about for decades. But because it's their guy committing the tyranny, ain't nobody talking about the Second Amendment now.

It’s amazing to me that the same people who tell me there’s nothing but Democrats with a slight majority can ever do to make things happen also tell me there’s nothing Democrats with a slight minority can do to stop things from happening

Gotta love the ‘Democracy Is On The Ballot’ to ‘We Can Find Bipartisan Common Ground’ pipeline. Incredibly efficient.

1. Trump and his budget chief that they believe they do not have to spend money Congress appropriates. 2. Promise a massive screening of appropriated spending to new, political criteria that do not exist in law. 3. Capture machinery for controlling flow of money. Pretty clear where this is going.

Some real Walt Flanagan from Clerks/Mallrats vibes here. "Tell 'em Steve-Dave!"

Free "modest proposal" for Denmark. Call Trump's bluff. Demand $100B as a downpayment for negotiations over Greenland. Then use it to start hiring all the scientists whose NIH grants have been frozen. Steal America's scientific expertise while Trump is yelling at icebergs.

a key take away from reading a lot of history for me: the people who survive hard times and eventually brutally humiliate their seemingly invincible enemies are not the people whose first response to adversity is “oh well, guess I’ll die”

BREAKING: Today, the Wisconsin DOJ and I are joining a coalition of states challenging an unconstitutional executive order issued yesterday that seeks to end citizenship for certain kids born in America. My statement ⬇️

I bet the guys arguing that everyone had a right to be a great artist or musician or writer without putting in any hard work are the same ones who used to sneer about “participation trophies”

If we want any chance of surviving the interlocking crisis of climate collapse, information collapse, and the rise of fascism, we have to admit the reality that the billionaire class knows they are causing the climate collapse as well as fascism and are attempting to divert from that reality

Looks like we'll be toppling authoritarian religious extremism with the power of dance in 2025.

Severance is, without a doubt, brilliant. But don't sleep on Mythic Quest. For years it was a show I had no interest in ever watching. Last week I finally gave it a try and discovered I absolutely love it. You might too. youtu.be/-ZzKs9HDaTc

Without downloading any new pics what’s your energy going into 2025?

One prediction for 2025: expect more tone policing. Bad stuff will happen, people will get angry, and be told is the problem is the way they present their anger.

I teach at an MFA. I was also delisted after being waitlisted for an MFA at a prestigious uni bc I the prof said I could not be admitted if I wrote “that infantile Arthur Clarke stuff” and I said “you dropped the ‘sir’ from his name. He was knighted for services to literature.” Was invited to go.

Post your favorite Star Trek character, but wrong answers only.

Did the police ever catch the guy responsible for that Wolverine origins movie?

If you see this, post a vampire.

Democrats lost while doing everything the left was begging them not to do, and now most of them have concluded that this means that it was a mistake to listen to the people they ignored and to run the campaign they didn't run, and must now pivot to doing more of exactly what they did when they lost.
