It's so sad that they went with "Third Term" when "Third Reich" was right there waiting for them.

This site cuts my photos and I can’t resize them. It’s pissing me off.

It's odd that Elon Musk's emulation of the Nazis stops short of creating reliable cars and rockets that get to their destination.

Musk posted 14 flags at 14:14 on Trump’s post about law not applying to those who “save the country.” That’s a dog whistle for 14 Words, a white supremacist slogan: “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.” 14 is a coded reference to white nationalist ideology.

This is Justin Trudeau allowing Donald Trump to save face after his stupid stunt. Because Trudeau is the only adult in the relationship and he knows it is better for allow the Toddler-in-Chief to pretend he won concessions already agreed to than to tank North America's economy.

And don’t dogma your way out of it all. You support the worst patriarchy of all if you pray to a god so violent and abhorrent. That’s how we’re in this mess and you believers are part of it.

Why be surprised Christian Nationalism turned against women? It’s rooted in a patriarchal religion that too many of you also still worship. Wake the fuck up and stop believing in myths and fantasies created by men who were okay with women being equal to chattel and being okay with slavery.

The problem with Elon is we can't fire him because we never hired him. And we can't impeach him because we never put him in office. But the DC police can arrest him as a private citizen for trespassing next time he barges into federal offices without legit authorization.

I heard there was a company in the US holding drills for their staff in preparation for possible ICE raids on their performances.

Those who criticized the Biden pardons need to wash their mouth out with soap after the Cheeto pardoned cop beaters, seditionists, a drug lord, and murderers. One is already back in jail for a gun violation. Many are back in their communities calling for civil war.

Bezos is closing every Amazon center in Quebec by March 15. Seems like some preemptive thing against Canada.

That Biden had to Pardon Fauci and others plus all the members of Congress and their staff who served on the Jan 6 committee Ahead Of Time means that his team know Trump was set on Retribution. I did not know one could pardon into the future. #FuckTrump

I never had TikTok. Never dealt with it one iota. So the ban is, for me, a non event.

Fucking HILARIOUS that these hypocritical Christian Senators have so much forgiveness in their souls for Pete Hegseth abusing women and cheating on his wives but they couldn't find any grace for private citizen Hunter Biden, who isn't running for anything. Give me a fucking break.

Pete Hegseth honored those who died on 9/11 by showing up to their New York City memorial site in his underwear. Is that the type of decision making we want running the Department of Defense?

A FB memory (still checking memories) showed that many years ago today I had finished staging Lucretia. That was back when we started stagings in November for the January show and had a single cast. Hmmm………

One of the weirdest things to come out of the GOP, many of whom are Ivy Leaguers and ol’ boy network folk, is this embracing of the numbskull mindset.

#DuneProphecy season finale was fantastic. Loved how they integrated the canonic mantra “Fear is the mind killer” into the narrative.
