Haven't had to make a bio for an app profile in maybe a decade? I used to try to make them funny.

These men are cowards. All of them. Never forget that.

That's my Aston Villa. Firing on some cylinders.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Three things that make the U.S. the envy of the world: 1) Professionalized military with strong norm of civilian control 2) Higher education and cutting-edge scientific research 3) Ability to welcome immigrants and attract the “best and the brightest” All three are under threat.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

I'm glad that this story has been picked up by national and international outlets. One local outlet, D Magazine, has also highlighted the report. The rest of the mainstream news outlets in Dallas have not. Perhaps I'm being impatient but I must admit I'm confused as to why they've yet to pick it up.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Your weather app gets its info because of NOAA. Your mail arrives at your home because of USPS. Your plane navigates the skies because of the FAA. Your food is safer -- and we get alerts when it isn't -- because of USDA. You hear about earthquakes *worldwide* because of USGS.

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

Oh my god, Eric Adams is going to accidentally free Luigi. Amazing.

Regardless of how much coverage it gets, Trump aiming to install a military command that places loyalty to him above loyalty to the constitution needs to be a much bigger story.

If you can’t hide the secret, feature it. Need to steal a coin from your pocket? Dipping in looks suspicious. So make it deliberate. Reach in openly, emerge holding a handkerchief. All eyes are on the cloth; no one sees the coin now in your palm. You can steal anything this way. Even a government.

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

SNL should just get a rib removed if they need to self fellate this much.

I’m not an economist but I think there’s a 1:1 correlation between union density, labor militancy and your leading politicians having hard-won skillsets for perpetual conflict and mobilizing obstructionist assholery under an authoritarian environment. Too many lawyers and not enough shop stewards!

Many of Musk’s budget cuts seem random and unnecessary. But they have a connection: their victims. USAID (starving & sick Africans), Alzheimer’s research (elders), special education, (disabled children), and of course, refugees and immigrants. Get the picture? Eugenics. Straight outta the 3rd Reich.

Extraordinary

Turning things back to the old more racist way and throwing a fit when you call them racist is just so sad and tiring.

Elon Musk has now illegally fired: - USDA employees amidst a bird flu outbreak - FAA chair amid a plane crash epidemic - People in charge of protecting us from nuclear attack At this point Musk has to be considered a terrorist attacking the United States.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil former leader Bolsonaro knew and agreed to a plan to poison President Lula, top prosecutor says.

DEI was keeping the planes from crashing

Pretty unsurprising that a South African sociopath has very little respect or understanding of the United States Constitution. Decision pending on how much respect the constitution has for the sociopath.

Happy Valentine’s Day to all rebels, queers, immigrants, critical thinkers, Greta Thurnberg, and my husband(technically included above but 100% worth a shoutout).

Severance is back to being very good, but I'm now concerned that they're so indebted to Lost that it's going to devolve into a mystery box with no satisfying resolution. I'd love to be wrong.

Issa Rae has canceled her upcoming show at the Kennedy Center — calling Trump's takeover "an infringement on the values of an institution." Rae says tickets will be refunded.

She is literally following NY extradition law, she would be breaking it if she did anything else, this. Needs. To. Be. More. Clear.

Ep 4 of severance was like: 'LOOK IN YOUR HEART, MISTUH MILCHIK! LOOK IN YOUR HEEEEAAAART!!!!'

Never not annoyed by the fact that Rockin' Pneumonia is a symptom or condition, while Boogie Woogie Flu is a pathogen. And fascism.

The absolute stupidest part is that America isn't even our name. Gulf of United States? America is a self given nickname that other countries DO NOT play along with.

By every conceivable measure, the United States is now more isolated and less secure than at any other time in the modern era.

"Since Donald Trump took office a little more than three weeks ago, outlays have averaged $30bn a day. Compare that with the same period last year under Joe Biden: federal spending back then came to about $26bn a day. " by @economist.com

Elon Musk is a murderer.

"I have the strange feeling, this week in Kyiv, that Ukrainians are living freer lives now than Americans. At a book store where I was talking to a Ukrainian philosopher about freedom, a young woman put her hand on my arm and said “sorry about the U.S.”

At 1.1 million views two women are going into detail about how much they dislike me, dissecting every video I made for a week like I cannot see their comments. Handfuls of old men are blaming the Jewish people for Jack the Ripper & all murder. I delete these comments. Big numbers reveal humanity.

Singing You'll never walk alone with the Celtic fans. I love a team that stands against fascism and wears green.

As others have said, the greatest transfer of wealth in US history will not be from the Boomers to their children but from them to the US healthcare system. The US is designed to make people insolvent and to keep them poor once they're there.

NEW: DOJ files a notice of correction indicating that (1) it underestimated the number of USAID employees placed on leave; and (2) misstated that only future contracts were being frozen, when existing contracts were frozen as well. I suspect the judge will not be happy. www.democracydocket.com

"If they like a one day The Purge scenario, they'll love an everyday The Purge scenario!" -someone who's not familiar with the marshmallow experiment.

Crazy that the beginning of the second trump administration should feel so much like the end of the first.

The Kennedy Center situation feels like a bit of a sideshow. Saying, "There's no more woke in this country," as Trump mandates "patriotic" content and takes control of various aspects of art and media feels like a very real threat to free speech and democracy.

The mind of the right: American Flag: Beautiful. Makes me cry. Means everything. American flag created of black dancers: Filth, poisoning minds, probably unconstitutional.
