MY WIFE: I wonder if he's thinking about other women ME: if Reacher cracked my back it would fix me

What's happening in Ukraine is both tragedy and travesty. If the U.S. withdraws from NATO and it can't step up without our support, it will also be disaster and atrocity. And all of it can be laid at the feet of the traitor, Donald Trump. More in my latest: www.marytrump.org/p/at-the-ful...

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Following a loud public outcry about job cuts at the National Parks Service — and a relentless media campaign from outdoors enthusiasts across the country — it looks like the Trump administration has blinked. via @jackdolan.bsky.social

is it just me, or is today just lovely? 😊😊😊

the fact that this is just a straightforward retelling of yesterday's events without hyperbole

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Did you hear about the Italian chef? He pasta away. Get it? I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress.

This is a drug addict who can barely put together a sentence.

There’s something happening in this country.

It's blatantly obvious that the NYT finds Republicans to interview by calling up their Republican Party contacts and asking for someone "normal" to get quotes from, and their failure to disclose that they always interview party apparatchiks is a conscious choice

Makes you think.

Team Canada wins in overtime, and l’ve never been delighted with a hockey win before, ever.

When Rupert Murdoch’s rags turn on you …

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

Five days ago Proof of Destruction was published, and it noted that Elon Musk has positioned himself within the government in a way to try to avoid any liability for his actions. Meanwhile, every major media outlet described the actions of his agents as his, flattening the issue. But PoD was right:

I'm not celebrating President's Day until 2029 at the earliest

The #1 reported reason people avoid doctor’s appointments is because they’re afraid of finding out they have a serious illness. If you have that fear, that’s normal and you’re not alone. Also remember, there is basically no serious illness that isn’t less serious if you catch it sooner.

What Trump promised: - helping reduce cost of living - helping working class folks generally What Trump is delivering: - costs keep going up, up, up - working class folks losing their jobs - healthcare and medication costs explode - yet Elon Musk is getting MILLIONS in govt $

It’s about having red hair and freckles FFS and how to be cool with that when other kids make fun of it. By that twisted logic, you’d have to ban pretty much every children’s book, old and new www.cnn.com/2025/02/17/e...

NY City Council speaker Adrienne Adams: "With the resignation of deputy mayors, it has become clear that Mayor Adams has now lost the confidence and trust of his own staff, his colleagues in government, and New Yorkers. He now must prioritize New York City and New Yorkers, step aside and resign."

So a former postdoc from our department had just started as a PO at NIH and was terminated in the wave of terminations last week. He is in the research triangle and a phenomenal scientist with expertise in stress and glia. If anyone in the RTI is hiring asap please let me know! #neuroskyence

Off topic: I finally watched the Wham! documentary and it’s really good and I love both of them. Refreshing to remember, among all the chaos, that there is goodness in the world.

Cheering for Schmitt’s Gay, then cheering even louder for Robot Insurance. Probably could’ve just done a full night of ad parodies

Please don’t wake me up. I’m having the most wonderful dream where I’m watching an episode of SNL that brought all seasons and cast together and ended with Paul McCartney performing Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End. I must be in heaven. #SNL50

Saw a screening of a few of David Lynch’s short films. I miss seeing art made viscerally, cheaply, and for a small messy audience. It actually makes the world feel bigger and more interesting. Mass appeal shrinks it all down. Shit inspired me. Glad I saw it.
