Plot intervention Reality is fiction Deus Ex Machina

It’s been almost 6 months since Trump won and the liberal/Democratic investment in media has been zero. Don’t say we didn’t warn you when it happens again but worse.

*flips chair around* "You know who else is part of a throuple?”

The body breaks down. As the years stack onto it. Acceptance is tough.

I feel that there's a decrease in celebrating competence and knowledge, and an increase in celebrating the metaphorical equivalent of a drunken frat bro saying they're going to do a flip right before injuring themselves and breaking furniture. A celebration of reckless ignorance, basically.

Isn't every little bit of minutiae about the Papal electoral process just so enthralling?

High school is a place A kind of Purgatory An assembly line Crushing and molding A socialization tool To create more cogs Choose your persona Find your clique or subculture Or be an outcast Navigate all this As you wander through the zone From child to adult

You can't change the past. And even if you could go back: A brand new timeline.

It’s dangerous to go alone! Take this. Photo from my collection, 1949.

Most world leaders calling Trump unstable is simply baffling. Why isn’t it ALL of them ?

gee, I thought trade wars were good, and easy to win. at least that’s what the guy who went broke running casinos told me

The man who broke into Gov. Josh Shapiro’s house and set it on fire reportedly planned to beat Shapiro with a sledgehammer.

HAPPENING NOW: Rümeysa Öztürk (repped by ACLU) has a hearing before Vermont federal judge William K. Sessions III. Öztürk is the Tufts PhD student snatched off the street by ICE and now facing deportation for cowriting a pro-Palestine op-ed in the student newspaper. 🧵

Does anyone know Anything about themselves What they really want? Hidden subroutines Dictate our course of action. For better or worse. Familiar patterns Begin to repeat themselves Until we notice.

Remember when the Asset said we were "rounding the corner" when it came to COVID? The weather was going to warm up and clear the virus. We didn't and it didn't. The Asset is a pure bullshit artist. Period.

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Every single 18-24 year old Briton that uses the words “vacation”, “ass”, “checkers” and “truck” should be interned on the Isle of Man

Republicans need to *not* be quoting Goebbels. At all. www.snopes.com/fact-check/k...

“Tubman’s photograph is now gone. In its place are images of Postal Service stamps that highlight “Black/White cooperation” in the secret network and that feature Tubman among abolitionists of both races.” wapo.st/4jdXL8m

"I miss you" he whispers in the phone softly. An arrow zooms by his head. "I miss you too" she responds softly, another arrow flying by him.

A timely and VERY APPROPRIATE request for a bribery investigation of Elon’s PAC in WI where he is trying to buy the Supreme Court. When he used a similar scheme in PA it was not as advertised. He appears to think he is above the law. Maybe he is but voters don’t want to sell their high court?

Safe place to observe and share the political process.

the U.S. government is targeting legal noncitizen scholars, not on the basis of any wrongdoing, but as part of a larger assault against an educated public.

I just spoke with Homeland Security to get more information and I will share when I learn more. The University of Minnesota is an international destination for education and research. We have any number of students studying here with visas, and we need answers. www.startribune.com/u-graduate-s...

The important thing to understand about the Trump administration is that it is always lying. It isn't simply indifferent to the truth; it has contempt for it and for those who tell it. This must be broadly understood.

Trump: "Hegseth is doing a great job. He had nothing to do this. How do you bring Hegseth into it? He had nothing to do with it. Look, it's all a witch hunt ... I think Signal could be defective to be honest with you."
