Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday. And this - a total condemnation of MAGA, Musk, and Trumpism - is the Hebrew Bible reading from the lectionary:

Trump is Shift the ape, the evangelical church is Puzzle wearing a lion’s skin, and Putin is the Calormenes stepping into the deceit and chaos to take over Narnia. Let the reader understand.

I am not happy with leopards eating anyone’s face. Even the people who voted for the leopards eating faces party who probably should have known better.

Nonono

I've been screaming this for years.

I can’t get over the fact that the American people voted for this wanton destruction.

This thread is a ray of sunshine

A moment of beauty

This. Is. Evil.

That is exactly what we want you to do.

sorry nothing personal i just don't think I'm cut out for living through the collapse of civilization

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment. One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

I actually wish the media would stop using "DEI" and "diversity hiring" and just get to the essence of the thing and ask: "Are you saying that this crash was caused by desegregating the races?" And see what happens.

So I was smart yesterday and stayed (mostly) off social media and avoided the tv. Not sure why in my blissful ignorance I thought I could resume my regular doomscrolling without consequence and now I’m exhausted.

Trump admin: "Radical gender ideology has devastated BIOLOGICAL TRUTH." How can a truth of Nature--like speed of light or existence of oxygen-- be so incredibly fragile that just 1% of the pop. can destabilize it and require the federal govt to rescue it? Smells like a social construction to me.

NEJM [con't.] Cass Review can be best understood as designed not to protect children, but enforce the gender binary. [In other other words, the world's oldest and most prestigious medical journal has eviscerated the Cass Review medically and scientifically.] [@rikiwilchins.bsky.social‬]

It’s pretty wild at least to little old naive me how the wealthiest men the world has ever known have the ability to be known forever and they choose to ::waves arms:: do this with their power. Like, they could single handedly usher in a new age of art and science through their largesse. A new age

Here's one for the theobros.

The more I study the gospel, the more I'm baffled at how we could see this foot washing, health restoring, sword disarming, patient listening, kind teaching, cross bearing Jesus and then somehow arrive at the conclusion that he is calling us to impose our worldview on others.

Finally got my Bluesky app working again and my hello fresh app has given up the ghost. 👻 Is there a rule that I can only have some number of working apps?

Where am I supposed to complain about Bluesky being down? Mastodon?

This is the content I come to social media for. 🐈

watching everyone else get snow that should be me

The problems with laughing about leopards eating the faces of people who voted for the leopards eating people's faces party is that by the time they get to the people who voted for them, they've probably already torn through everybody else.

I’m honored to have shared this planet with such a man as Jimmy Carter.

The onlye thinge that sholde be runne lyke a businesse ys a businesse, and sometymes even that ys not the best approache.

Merry Christmas!
