Look what's happening at the French Embassy in Washington DC.

amiright? #bluecrew

The fact that there might be a conclave so close to a movie about one has really motivated me to finish my screenplay "The Tech CEO Who Died of Diarrhea So Explosive The Coroner Said He Had No Lower Back to Speak Of"

Me: I can’t believe UK voters chose to torch their economy with Brexit. That can never be topped. American voters:

Thou shalt not deport hard working, good people whilst importing vile criminals like the Tate brothers and still claim you have morals.

A guy who used to be a comedian & is good at improv and dealing with hecklers and who has also spent the last 3 years in a war zone turns out to be a guy you can’t out-alpha, imagine that

You first.

Sign of the day…

For Trump it was a joke by Obama.

Wise man…

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

No amount of executive orders can make us cease to exist.

It would be far less time-consuming to just document when he tells the truth. shorturl.at/tohgb

Having failed to exclude Zelenskyy, they sought to bully him. Having failed to bully him, they sought to bribe him. Having failed to bribe him, they sought to discredit him. Maybe they will get round him one way or another, but you can see how frustrated they are at him holding on.

Turns out we “deranged” people simply saw the truth clearly.

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

We aren't "approaching" autocracy. We're not "on the road" to dictatorship. We're not "sliding" toward a Constitutional crisis. We are here. We have been here. The moment already came and went. And the road back out narrows by the hour.

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”

I don’t often feel rage. That said, I’ve been getting pretty damn close, watching one of the few truly warrior like heroes in the world of leadership…Zelensky…being rat fucked by two of the biggest pieces of shit on the planet.

At an elementary school at Fort Campbell in Kentucky, home of the 101st Airborne, librarians are scrubbing the shelves. They are removing books that even contain references to slavery or the civil rights movement. This is where "anti DEI" sentiment has brought us. They are whitewashing history.

I think, as mad ideas go, I may try and forge a Sampo tomorrow. Just for laughs.

Good time for a reminder:

The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has documented at least 110 Palestinians killed by the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip since the implementation of the ceasefire agreement last month. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/078jbu

So much evil in one photo it is actually staggering

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Scotland's garbage patch. (Infuriating that a Scottish scheme that would have helped to reduce plastic litter in the marine environment, supposed to go into operation in 2023, was blocked and delayed by political nonsense.)
