You know guys the vibe we have right now in America is very Fall of Rome meets Weimar Germany meets a Black Mirror episode and you would think it would be interesting to sit and watch but it is not

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

For no reason at all, a gentle reminder that autism is not a disease, it cannot be "cured," decades of media portrayals of extreme cases have caused a fundamental misunderstanding of this neurotype, autism has existed since humans have existed, and what "destroys families" is a lack of support. 🤠

Ok so yeah, this has quickly become the #1 misunderstanding about the canceled grants the grants are not “subsidies” or “entitlements” to Harvard or Princeton or whatever they aren’t going into universities’ endowments they are competitive contracts won by these universities to do research

Loving my hydroponic garden for tomatoes year-round but you try explaining to this man that these are nightshades and will make him sick if he nibbles (don’t worry, I prevented any tasting). But he takes his garden security very seriously. #CatPic #CatsOfBlueSky

The entire POINT is to cultivate an obedient press and docile population that accepts accusations without pushback. The fact that the administration’s accusations are increasingly overtly ass-damp is a feature, not bug.

The great thing about fighting back against this stuff is that if you end up losing anyway you get the same outcome you’d have gotten from complying but you don’t have to fucking hate yourself too.

Growing kale this year and it’s loving life…but this morning there was a big dove sitting in the planter amongst the leaves (no pic because I startled her). I hope she is not planning to lay her eggs in here!

Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record

normal people are cringe and we need a whole lot of normal people to show up if we’re going to get out of this and the pussy hat brigade did better organizing during Trump’s first term than anyone else today was good and should be encouraging to everyone

This stock market crash thing is so confusing. On one hand you have every economist and bank in the free world freaking out. On the other, there are some blue check accounts on Twitter with ancient statues as their profile pics doing 20 part threads on why down is the new up. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Trump supporters, 2016: Look at that jet! Donald Trump is an American success story who'll use his years of business experience to put more money in your pocket! Trump supporters, 2025: Listen to the leaves in the wind...the calling bird...the humble cricket...what possessions compare to these?

DOGE has terminated all four of the NEH grants for the American Musicological Society. Our executive director writes: “As the chief operating officer for the American Musicological Society, a 91-year-old knowledge society committed to the study of music, history, and culture, I am resolved.” 1/2

Breaking now: Ministry of Economics reporting the tariffs have not caused significant changes to our trading volumes

Your tariff rate is your star sign divided by the number of boys you've kissed, multiplied by one

If a grown man sincerely said to you “ and those penguins have gotten away with cheating us for the last time!” you would call the authorities.

This whole mad king tariff scheme is the kind of thing that aging dictators do at the end of their lives, after they've been safely secure in power for decades. Trump is going to seriously regret trying this before consolidating power.

I mean personally I flip #1 and #2 as previously stated but this guy gets it (there is a very strong argument for Tombstone but y'all Top Secret! was Kilmer's FIRST FILM ROLE and he absolutely crushed it)

Pouring one out for Val Kilmer whose greatest film role was in Top Secret!, a movie that lives rent-free in my brain and I still quote without hesitation. Yep dying on this hill, he was an absolute comedic master #RIP
