The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts and the stupid ones are full of confidence.

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

My rescue boxer dog, Iggy, a couple days ago. She loves blankets and covers. Sometimes she can't quite figure them out.

@benstiller.redhour.com Does Lumon have fire drills? I was just at Smucker HQ and when I was by the security desk a woman looked up and said, 'You're lucky, you just missed the fire drill.' It must've something awful; I can only imagine how bad Lumon's version would be.

It's kind of funny that ads aren't even trying to be subtle anymore. 'Women between the ages of 33 and 46 are obsessed with this product!' or there are YouTube ads that try to be a first person view of someone using their phone, except you can see both of their hands in the ad.

Trump issued an executive order to drastically shrink the Presidio Trust, the federal agency overseeing San Francisco’s Presidio, a national park site at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Ladies and gentlemen, the 47th President of the United States. ( ° ͜ʖ͡°)

More. Grandiose. Narcissistic. Behavior. ✨

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

I’ve never been this disappointed in Steven Tyler in my life.

My grandfather was a veteran, a WWII Navy Chief Petty Officer. I'll never forget the patriotism I felt when I told him about my enlistment. He was so proud of me that he cried. He's been gone for 30 years. He'd be crying now for a different reason. It makes me sick.

I know Elon has claimed he’s on the spectrum, and people have various theories on it, but what if he’s just a racist asshole who’s high on ketamine all the time?

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Of all people to complain about a performance…

I really really need you guys to make a conscious rejection of generative AI tools part of your ongoing political resistance. Don't use ChatGPT. Turn off Gemini. Don't read the AI results forced upon you at the top of Google search. Don't use AI art generators or support anyone who does. Please.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Trust me, bro.

BREAKING: Federal lawsuit filed challenging Trump's executive order against gender-affirming medical care for those under 19, as well as the Jan. 20 EOs funding ban. The lawsuit is backed by the ACLU, Lambda Legal, Jenner & Block, and Hogan Lovells. Background: www.lawdork.com/p/trump-tran...

YES! Chuck, where do you live? Can you call your Senator?

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans. And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump. It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other. Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

Regardless of your immigration status in the U.S., you have guaranteed rights under the Constitution. Know your rights and assert them. Independientemente de su estatus migratorio en los Estados Unidos, usted tiene derechos garantizados por la Constitución. Conozca sus derechos y hágalos valer.

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

Looking good in red, LewisHamilton!

This is how I'm feeling today. youtu.be/JPdZNCgIDek?...

After today, 1/20/25, the LGBTQ community (which includes me) is going to need YOUR support more than ever. Please stand with us! America has failed as a country!

As a Cdn, speaking in hypotheticals, I think if u see sum1 calling an obvious Nazi salute anything other than a Nazi salute, in this hypothetical world, it's justified to do a violence to that person when given the chance. Even if they're the press. There was a whole war about it. Hypothetically

Too far?

I love this Private Eye section as it genuinely does encapsulate the biases and framing of the British press

#BLM OTD 1834 the Alabama State Legislature passed Act 44 as part of increasingly restrictive laws governing Black people & prohibiting them from being freed within the state & authorized re-enslavement of any free Black person entering the state. #BlackAmericanHistoryIsAmericanHistory

Danielle finally heard the 'kid and adult talking' ghost that I've been experiencing for years. I usually hear them outside our bathroom / walk-in closet, right outside the windows (ground level) and out her bedroom window, 15 feet up. She heard them out the bedroom window, above the ground level.

When Hillary lost, she conceded graciously and then went for a walk in the woods. When Kamala lost, she conceded graciously and then got back work as our VP. When Trump lost, he wouldn’t concede and then incited a deadly attack on our Capitol.

This is, or should be, a big deal -- Ann Telnaes, an absolute legend, quitting WaPo due to censorship of a cartoon criticizing billionaires anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...
