Everytime there is a hostage exchange it's like "Hamas releases 3 hostages" and "Israel releases 572 Palestinians hostages" like it's 1st grade math that this shit isn't equal.

This is why @404media.co deserves all the flowers they've been getting. They report on dirt, things actually happen

If you're in DC and do not have to go outside, don't. I thought I could run to the grocery store real quick and now I can't feel one of my thumbs

I'm making the point that Tr*mp is actually UNPOPULAR and if there were an ACTUAL opposition party [which some of you argued with me in my mentions for 2 days & cried when I said there is no opposition party in the U.S.] he would be even more unpopular.

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

It's time to admit that bullying + no Internet kept our society safe from these people.

This is the cool zone. A glimpse into the near future as the rule of law breaks down and communities resort to arming themselves and patrolling neighborhoods to provide protection. www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2...

I've started sleeping with my phone plugged in across the room or in another room. Woke up at 5:00 a.m. this morning, hung up a bunch of clothes that collected on my closet floor, washed a load of clothes, and watched the news instead of doom scrolling. Now to never do that again.

I blew out the speakers on my spy bot and I want to know why these speakers even go that high????

The older I get, the more I realize I'm a midwestern-west coaster. Gonna start writing diaspora kid poetry but actually transplant parent poetry with lines like "stuck between corn fields and corn tortillas. My mom asks for a pop and I feel soda-feated."

My family is from Indiana and all the jokes that people make about the south actually apply to Indiana.

I can't be more upset about congresspeople being blocked from entering buildings and all the wild "coup" shit than the people directly getting physically hoed out by it. Congresspeople standing around looking dumb in front of a rentacop and I'm supposed to be more upset than them?

I don't trust people that didn't grow up with something permanently broken in their house that made doing a common task convoluted, but you had to do it so often that you didn't even notice it was the weird way to do that thing until you were well into adulthood and it hit you.

If you are talking to people in a way that spreads hopelessness, you’re helping Trump Congrats to you and yours, I guess

a cacophony of cicadas with a guest appearance by the wind

This Elon/Trump press conference is so chaotic. Is that THX-1138 down there open mouth coughing?

Administering electric shocks to people in the adjacent room and hesitating when the screams get too loud. Thankfully there's an authority figure here reassuring me that it's ok to continue

We live in a society

My boss just ended our meeting so she could secure Beyonce tickets. She not low we all saw that Ticketmaster tab when she shared her screen 😭

"The Black SATC" Black people deserve more than white hand-me-downs.

In Toledo, “living in subsidized housing now means being watched outside your home day and night by an officer you can’t see or speak to, thanks to the city’s contract with Fusus, a company whose controversial technology enables cops to access live streams from private camera networks”

I have a rule at work I developed after around my first six months there. If an email exchange frustrates me, I stop replying. If you want to continue, send a follow up and come correct. I don't reply to dumb, inscrutable or silly messages.

You want to talk about trump bringing back discrimination do it, but do not pretend to be sad he's dismantling a welfare program for lawyers and HR goons with masters degrees.

I love introducing my very offline friends to The Horrors™️

The halftime performance was barely 12 hours ago, if you are able to completely analyze it that quickly, then it probably didn't mean much OR You're a student of the "This is America" School of visual and rhetorical analysis. Ie. Just pointing out things happened, with no context or analysis.

This is such a good idea that would only be possible if the DNC was not just a fundraising front for consultants.

sometimes it feels like “everything comes back to class and money rules all” is a cliche and too simple but it’s actually fucking insane that the NFL aired an ad for kanye west to sell his swastika shirt. like come on. is it just that no one takes anything that happens on twitter seriously?

One thing I love about Serena is she’s always free to come out and do a little dancey dance for a diss track. Beyonce husband, her ex…she has the time!

I be forgetting I went there cause what the hell was that filler season?

Baby, Virginia Tech had an openly avowed Nazi in their English department a few years ago. This is light work. Google Mark Neuhoff

I haven't flamed Virginia Tech in almost a decade. *laces fingers together and cracks them"

A protester unfurled a combined Palestinian and Sudanese flag on the field during Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime performance. The NFL said in a statement that the person was part of the 400-member field cast. nyti.ms/3CVV6Au

I want y'all to think a little deeper about this performance than "reclaiming the American flag"

I forgot ---'s bread and butter is Black patriotism. I didn't even see who I was quoting at first.

During the Super Bowl halftime show, a protester stormed the field waving a Palestinian and Sudanese flag, demanding the world’s attention on genocide and oppression. He was later tackled by security.

Kendrick made an American Flag out of Bloods and Crips and tore it apart. In this essay I will -
