How about writing/pronouncing it “DODGE” 🤔

I can’t believe it’s Tuesday already.

Mondays, right?

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

Just wait?!?! No! NO! NO NO NO NO NO! Block everything. Halt every nominee. Do not lift a finger in support of the administration until the illegal, unconstitutional siege of the federal government ceases. Jfc www.semafor.com/article/02/0...

every message from the white house is essentially brawndo’s got electrolytes

The highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not “You were right.” It’s “You made me think.” Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity. The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.

Guys, I hate to even suggest the possibility, but I’m starting to wonder just a teensy-weensy little bit whether maybe, just maybe, FFOTUS wasn’t totally upfront and forthcoming about Project 2025 during the campaign

Excellent post

April Fools’!

Can you imagine that Twitter was once a place where millions of famous artists and musicians and athletes (and unfortunately journalists and politicians) and so on would just log onto for free and post every day all day off the dome the thoughts and details of their every day lives?

A country artist, 1/5th of a washed up disco act and a classical singer almost no one could name walk into an inauguration... And WaPo cites it as evidence that Trump is no longer struggling to book big acts 🤣

Nothing to worry about here, just a political purge of our national security apparatus that will replace long-serving experts with dimwitted bootlickers. I'm sure our safety and security won't be impacted at all.

A farce in three acts.

i don’t understand how, psychologically, a person gets to a place where they interpret sign language as some kind of attack or imposition on their life. like, what the fuck is wrong with you?

So, it’s 2025, but it’s only Wednesday, right?

read this book a couple of years ago on @jamellebouie.net's recommendation. highly recommended.

Marty Feldman with The Cookie Monster on “The Muppet Show,” 1980…

pete hegseth doesn't want women to serve in combat roles yet he has his mother out here fighting his battles....

How education in the US has been weaponised against Native Americans

Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you have a SUPER day!

Ok. Maybe we should look to the place with the lowest numbers of HVAC companies. No offense.

My latest!

The other way to put this is that people are weird and make decisions for reasons that even they often don’t understand. Then you multiply that by 160 million and you call it an electorate.

In a sense, says Michael J. Socolow, "journalism didn’t fail us — we failed journalism." www.niemanlab.org/2024/11/what... One thing I am going to do in the months ahead is wrestle with that problem: what should journalists do when the facts don't matter?

Just sayin, but in 🇧🇷 voting is mandatory, election day is Sunday, elections are uniformly and federally run, voting machines are simple and reliable, and 99% of votes are counted within several hours, from bustling metropolises to remote Amazonian villages.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #2,412,158!

the bird-namers were really sick of this bird's shit

There has been a surge in social media posts of trees that lost their tops or limbs, wondering whether the trees will survive. Many arborists recommend removal, but I urge patience. Trees are skilled at reconstructing crowns. This bur oak lost its top over 100 years ago, and now looks great.

The word “writing” apparently starts with the letter “w.”

Fuck.

sutherland was absolutely, with no exaggeration, one of the singular talents of his generation. RIP to a great. variety.com/2024/film/ne...

i’m reading john dickerson’s book on the presidency, which is quite good, and it has me thinking about what jobs would make good training for being president. there are obvious ones like being governor, but i think a less obvious one is director on a big hollywood blockbuster

spotify is legitimately a terrible company that is bad for music and bad for art, and while i don’t begrudge anyone their personal use of it at all, you should all write your congresscritters and tell them to support this to make up for it
