Elon gives off the energy of the loser in high school who tries to rebrand by giving *himself* a new, cool nickname. Trump is like the other chump who sits down with you at lunch, "Hey did you hear what Elon's new nickname is? Mr. Spectacular? Pretty cool stuff!"

Concept: New New England

This ain’t no party! We covered the most upbeat depiction of dark times out there, the #TalkingHeads “Life During Wartime.” Out this week only at the HTH Patreon: HillsDeck.com

@lizpelly.bsky.social reading from her excellent new book looking under the shit-encrusted hood of Spotify earlier tonight.

“How’s the fighting the Nazis going?” “Well as soon as we’re sure whether the Nazis are Nazi saluting I think we’re really gonna clean their clocks.”

I care about the Velvet Underground's time in Boston and so should you. (Go get Maggot Brain, follow @tylerwilcox.bsky.social and read @ryanhwalsh.bsky.social's book) www.dominicumile.com/blog/velvet-... @thirdmanrecords.bsky.social

NYT normalizing stockpiling food here. Nothing in the article suggests this is not normal or that it is only being considered because of Trump's bizarre, easily debunked "plan" to save by employing tariffs. "A move that is as practical as it is economical" they say at one point. Shameful!

Yesterday, this dude was waving around a chainsaw while his ex-wife pleaded with him on Twitter to get in touch about the health of their child. We can't 25th amendment him BECAUSE HE'S UNELECTED. He's not dropping "clues" we need to decipher. He's an insane, desperate, POS. Get him out, NOW.

the rare version of the Palmer house without the tall staircase up a hill to the front door is total bullshit

Any chance it's informing Democrats' behavior too? Feel like a lot of D's are waiting to see if AOC gets jailed or worse before stepping up to the plate and meeting the moment with the proper, warranted anger and intensity.

I would like this to be going at the speed of social media, but it is going

This is a concentration camp. They are describing a concentration camp.

Weird. He loves to run his mouth about every perfect phone call with world leaders but he’s 100% scared shitless to talk about communication with Putin.

AOC is currently the de facto leader of the Democratic Party.

"migrant mission" I wonder, is there another term that also harnesses the power of alliteration that we might swap in here, NYT?

🚨 NEW: Wow, Trump's former VP Mike Pence just called Trump out for lying about Ukraine.

In any other configuration or era of u.s. govt, this is a career ending, party ruining fuck-up of the highest order. I go to bed at night wondering what level of unnecessary disaster would be required from these petty, self-hating con-men to give the deepest members of their cult a fucking clue.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

So grateful the bitter cold and wind didnt keep so many Bostonians home today for the nationwide #presidentsdayprotest. #Boston #protest #democracy

Polite older gentleman today: “can I ask you something? What is a chode?”

It makes total sense—in a dumb, pathetic way—that after all these decades of associating Presidents' Day with car sales we finally have a president who is a car salesman.

The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

seems like it is a big deal that the unifying ideology of the doge team is neo nazism

Neo-Nazi terrorist and convicted mass murderer Anders Breivik, who killed 77 people in Norway in 2011, cited this same Napoleon quote in his manifesto.

Waiting for Trump to realize why they're doing this and start to try to carry Barron around.

Boston #TeslaTakedown earlier today!

Posters. Stickers. Flyers. “Handbills” although lol nobody says handbills except in academic text. Marking the public space as the home of the public and not the property of the guys who bought up the buildings
