"you'll be visited by three spirits" The three spirits

I will never get over the very serious left intellectuals who spent years yelling and people who called Trumpism by its proper name from the start. So much of the fascism debate felt like protecting turf and one-upmanship. Sad given the stakes.

Guy comes up to me speaking in Dutch about how frustrating it is that there’s isn’t enough bike parking during construction “… Ja, ja, precies”

“Guy who’s against bike lanes cause they make it easier for criminals to escape like they’re in a looney tunes bit”

My Spotify wrapped 🫡

Historians in 4024 “It’s likely there was a dynasty, neither Obama nor Trump, the Bidenoupoli, who held power in America between the 2nd Persian War and the Sino-American Wars. While some say Joseph the Elder was “POTUS”, as leaders were called, we have more extant sources on his son, Hunter.”

Apparently you *can* stop a coup by voting!

My episode with Secretary Pete is now up on the usual video sharing platform. So much good stuff in here, and I hope to get him back on in the future! youtu.be/F7oN6w6vEGI

I like that half my feed is still re-litigating the election results the same way they were two weeks ago Personally I’m already more into looking at the pretty conclusive rise of the seventh party system Anyone have thoughts on this? I’m thinking we’re not quite at the apex but approaching.

Different country, still catch the bridge

Good morning, Philadelphia. Beautiful weather on a Monday in the later half of Fall. Have a great week ☀️🔔

Antwerp!

Oh my god it’s literally the Dead Kennedy’s version of Jerry Brown - youtu.be/QVcNfiRWS6U?...

How do y’all speak more than three languages without your brain breaking each time

Manasquan Reservoir today, 2024, vs this time, 2020

like its the dumbest way to explain why so many people turned out only to vote for him leaving the rest of their ballot blank, but it also... works

Okay it’s getting genuinely insane how we’re already surpassing the speed at which awful/ridiculous things happened under Trump I

It's absurd that Republicans fill their cabinets with crooks and idiots, and Democrats, in the run-up to the election, get asked about whether they will bipartisan and nominate/appoint a Republican.

Fellas, is it good when the richest man on earth, who just financed the winning U.S. presidential campaign in exchange for a (currently nonexistent) position, meets with foreign diplomats to alter U.S. policy on behalf of the soon to be president?

Finally went to Haarlem the other day!

Passing space is also always a welcome thing when there’s actually biker traffic in a city

love these extra wide bike lanes. you can ride the inside for extra visibility from turning drivers.

Welcome to the democratic party’s official app™️ . That’s why it’s blue! Truth social ain’t got nothing on us!

they’re calling the second trump term the most “reddit” administration in history

Retweeting ET people! Please give them a follow!

city and state is a must-follow for new york politics. glad they made it over

The Republicans for several weeks ran with the Haitian blood libel story and this did not appear to hurt their vote share in any significant manner. Yeah no, a lot of voters don't want "common sense". They want something to justify their hatred.

It looks like a painting out this week

The scariest part of Gaetz isn’t that he’s a pedophile (which he is), it’s that he would undoubtably go after political opponents if he were given the power of AG

only consuming bad news online every day is probably good for your mental health overall

Well I'm fucked.

Are we all on here now? Is this finally happening?

New Jersey - Land of Jughandles and sidewalks to nowhere!

This is the most frustrating (not worst) grade I’ve gotten for a class
