Trump's recess appointment plan got shot down; he failed to get his preferred majority leader in the senate; Gaetz appointment failed; Hegseth in trouble. he's already lost a whole bunch and he hasn't even gotten into office yet. he's not invulnerable or omniscient. just, worth remembering.

They are going to roll over for sure, but ratfucking these people would be fun as hell and it would be easy to find vast numbers of talented people to do it.

It’s moments like these — as the owner of Twitter/X is spreading conspiracy theories about FEMA during an active response — that make it easy to explain how I went from writing a dissertation about online volunteerism (“voluntweeters”) during disasters to studying online rumors & disinformation.

New shitty Vance video, in which he seems to say that gender and racial equality makes people miserable (or maybe just fighting for it? He's not a man of clarity) but also now he's sneering at me for living in a small NYC apartment. A childless single woman in a tiny one bedroom! I must be garbage.
