Federal employees - are you tired of Elon Musk trying to contact you? Have you tried pretending to be the mother of his children?

hmmm... where have I seen this before...

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

Me: BATMAN BEGINS is great, but I was amused by the writers’-fiat plot device that a place can be SO corrupt that some reasonably-organized foreign actor can just puppeteer it on a whim. Me, 20 years later: fuck

yup

My friend said she and her mom agreed not to speak Spanish to each other in public anymore. Oh man, that hit hard. I’m so sorry this is who we’ve become.

The most important thread you'll read today. In brief: Europe has the power to save Ukraine and slip into the leadership position America has vacated. It must grasp it. And Europeans must pressure their governments to do so.

one of the strangest things about the trump administration is the aesthetic of self-conscious evil

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

This is gutting and infuriating beyond words. A mother in Detroit, desperate for help, reached out *three times* to the city’s homeless response team—to no avail—before her two children froze to death in a van. There was shelter space available nearby. The system failed them, as it fails so many.

it's important to have regular checkups

Step right up, everyone, and behold The Leader’s spectacular parade float! 📣 #Phonopolis

I swear I’m going to be better about posting here once we delete the IG but I’ve got to get the goddamn email list going and I’m tech illiterate. Luckily I’ve got someone on the case. ANYWAY… . DOORS AT 5 UNHAPPY HOUR TILL 6:30 ENJOY THIS GIF I FOUND ON REDDIT

Musk speaking to the far right German party, the AfD, today. Best picture angle, ever! 😂

Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this. Smashed records. Curtesy of Garrett Roberts.

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

what if jesus came back as an nft and we ignored him 😔

Sunday model kit painting. Finished-
