Next, they'll claim that all of this (Trump's "LONG LIVE THE KING!" post and its echoing) is a joke, a transparent trick they use repeatedly. As w/ Musk’s Nazi salute, they'll pretend for out-group audiences to be kidding or misunderstood, while the in-group recognizes that they are deadly serious.

It's been decades since I've been out of college. I still get anxiety dreams where I've missed classes so I can't graduate. Stupid brain. Go back to bed.

THIS NEVER HAPPENS

In 2020 they used the Big Lie (100s of misleading claims) of "voter fraud" to try to overturn an election. In 2024 they're using similar tactics to create/amplify misleading claims of "government waste and fraud" to justify dismantling huge sections of the U.S. government.

The notion that federal employees are viewed as lazy and undeserving is a lie. The vast majority view their employment as a calling to SERVE. They work HARD. THEY DESERVE YOUR SUPPORT. CALL YOUR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVE.

Seattle folks: I'm giving a (free) public lecture Feb 24, where I'll explain what our team's decade of research on online rumors & disinformation reveals about the once-alternative media ecosystem that is driving the rise of right wing populism around the world. www.washington.edu/facultystaff...

On this day in 2020, @cherylmawi.bsky.social attended Yola at The Neptune in Seattle, with Brandi Carlile opening(!!!) This was the very last concert we attended until the pandemic shut everything down

Just finished watching Have I Got News For You with @roywoodjr.bsky.social @amberruffin.bsky.social @michaelianblack.bsky.social And guests @gtconway.bsky.social @andyrichter.co It is literally the only show I will willingly watch on CNN

Apparently they found a patsy and his name is Ed Sullivan

An Irving B. Melon Head was definitely not on my Severance bingo card

Holy crap, Hochul. You have the power to remove Eric Adams, who signed off on allowing ICE into Rikers, a violation of NY State Law. What the heck are you waiting for?

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Note to self: my bus pass does not gain entry to my keycard-controlled place of business.

Something something not that shocked

Since performative bullshit/propaganda/Newspeak has now spread to major bodies of water, apparently I will have to use a VPN to conduct my private affairs going forward. Such garbage. Even TomTom has bent the knee.

He didn't want the job to begin with. All he really wanted was to stay out of prison. So he turned over the keys to someone else so he could play golf and continue grifting.
