Why yes, yes I am listening to “Waterfall in a Forest” on some Relaxing Vibes channel. Because it’s too early for bourbon, and apparently I’m the only person in America without a xanax prescription

Dear US Media covering Combover Caligula's speech: if you can spell things like: "Disinformation" "Misinformation" "Fibs" "Untruths" "Fabrications" "Demonstrable falsehoods" “Plays loosely w/facts” "Mendacity" "Prevarications” Or "whoppers" Then you're probably able to spell the word “lies.”

I quit Twitter in 2023 I cancelled my NYT and WaPo subscription last year I dumped my Tesla stock even before the Musk “salute” And I won’t support Establishment Dems who disregard their own progressive policies, starting 90 years ago, that made America better than anything before

Early-1900s era Rs were more progressive than today’s Ds (who are now more like Reagan-era Rs). Bad guys took over the good, and basically gave us today’s bad Rs and better (meh) Ds. The official R party planks of 1912 (paraphrased below) are mind-blowing, and sadly long-forgotten, by both.

I loved @aoc.bsky.social's Instagram Live. She mentioned at the start about turning it into a handbook, so I did, using as much verbatim material as I could. Here's the UNOFFICIAL, unsanctioned PDF, no info to give, no forms to fill. Please share. www.christopherspenn.com/wp-content/u...

I’m expecting (hoping), Monday, one of those political LEADERS we already know, but need even more now, will step up and call for national strikes and marches. The American People need leadership right now, and we simply will never get this from the old establishment types.

I’ve been through this a lot over the years with peers who say ‘no sense in overreacting,’ or ‘what can Dems do?’ But if back in 2016 or 2021 you prophesied “Trump will execute a mass purge of FBI and DO while his patrons ransack the treasury and Dems will not react,” they’d have been incredulous.

I don't think we're prepared for just how stupid the next 4 years are going to be. Horrifying and stupid at the same time.

If a professor set up a meme coin so students could pay for better grades we all know how unethical that would be and they would be appropriately fired. But the president of the United States doing it? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I sometimes wonder whatever happened to this guy. (GenX reference) I would have stayed with my books, and cats if I had any, rather than trying to help an ignorant uneducated silly population to understand anything

From 2018, in the fall of the American empire, written by a Canadian. Seems an appropriate reminder, given the weird new push by U.S. rightwingers to acquire our northern neighbor.

Elon could, all by himself, fund childhood cancer research for the next 16 years with just 1% of his wealth today. He could be the hero, but chose the villain instead.

I’m sad about not seeing any more of Lindy Li’s superb ranting lists anymore, but on the plus side, this is a good reminder for everyone that Resistance (tm) is also often used to grift and exploit an eager audience for money and influence.

If only we had a Press in this country that was interested in gathering and telling all of these horrible stories we’ve heard, and the truth about our “health” insurance system - instead of peddling whatever is the latest propagandist shiny object every day. We need more of these stories heard.

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.
