I know the world is on fire and also, I made pancakes, they are dope, and I want you to have this recipe: www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/simp...

Get in the game, there's something for absolutely everyone to do.

MAGA attitude toward Fed workers and the USPS is deeply emblematic of the whole movement: a group of personally aggrieved, insecure people who fundamentally cannot conceive that someone would actually do something for a motive beyond personal profit.

"Google, what happened to Napoleon after Waterloo?," she asked, for no particular reason...

I have personally watched multiple seemingly sane and previously intelligent individuals who lost their goddamned mind during Obama's presidency. Never acknowledging, of course, the cause, but the evidence was stark: their suppressed racism metasticized when faced with a Black president.

People who make IQ their whole person are the most boring people on earth, and also the most likely to slip happily into fascism. When you believe intelligence is based on your ability to take a test and not on your, say, neuroplastisity? Then IQ is just a number, babe.

(This is absolutely a subskeet) Leadership requires both strategy and curiosity, and also requires the courage to challenge authority when it's misused. True in politics. True in nonprofit life, and especially true in arts leadership.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

Every day Temu Lex Luthor does something even more unhinged than yesterday, huh?

I spoke at our local school board tonight in defense of teaching actual American history over propaganda, got big applause from the crowd and really pissed off the two MAGA/Moms for Liberty types on the board. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. That was so much fun.

Always proud to have been raised in the UCC.

Virginia understands that sometimes you gotta take a tiddy out and put down a tyrant.

If only we had a functional opposition party that could point out that the administration is abandoning investigations of child traffickers, drug dealers, and terrorists in order to deport law abiding farm workers.

Action is the antidote to despair, fam!

Anyone else on this NEA webinar?

I feel like Catch 22 is one of the most obviously leftist books just bc the protagonist is a smart guy who understands the insanity around him in perfect clarity, but nobody takes him seriously because it's also turned him into a miserable, high-strung neurotic And what's more leftist than that

A tragedy in three acts.

Every day is a potential comms slamdunk that @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social refuses to even attempt. Be loud. Break it down for the people. Tell folks "Like your school? Here's how they're wrecking it. Like Medicaid? Here's what they just did to it. Like safe water?..." etc etc etc

most journalists today can be divided into two groups: dedicated, impoverished people who mostly write for publications you've never heard of that started eighteen months ago or JP Random House The First, who writes columns for the New York Times about which ethnic groups it should be OK to hunt

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism. But what the autistic people in your life hear when you spread that widely debunked misinformation is that you would prefer to have a child die a painful death from eradicated communicable disease than to be like them. That's nasty work. Hope this helps!

I'm gonna call it the Gulf of Deez Nutz from now on.

Hello, journalistic integrity, are you out there?

THIS, goddamnit; DO THINGS and people will TALK ABOUT THEM and you will look like GOOD GUYS; this is literally the least you should be doing

Yes, Greta Thunberg, who definitely had as much power as the wealthiest man i the world and access to Federal bank accounts. "I am JD Vance, Serious Thinker of Serious Thoughts, and not just seventeen weasels in an ill-fitting suit."
