Former French PM Dominique de Villepin has been speaking out recently. This is just one example. Good stuff so far regarding his takes on current events. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

In trying to find silver linings (something I've learned to do to survive thru trauma) I think one of them might be: people are re-assessing whether there exists a true "good" and "evil". I think that it does, but the foundation and implementation of it might differ than what others think. Thoughts?

Hey 2/28 boycotters: so it's ok if the only thing I bought today was with cash from a taco truck right? If so: then may I suggest we keep rolling w/ this as long as we can (for some a day, for some more, for some less). If not: that's hypocritical of me to suggest and accept the forthcoming shunning

An essay from a former Vice President. It was written in 1944. Amazing what he said then & what we are seeing unfold in real time. Who could have imagined after the devastating losses during WW2 fighting fascism in Italy, Japan, and Germany, we in America would find our own people embracing this?

This is a hell of a video and extremely relevant with Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Republicans slashing life saving jobs. Another round of layoffs at the VA: 1,400 more people.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Are there any trans/NB/GQ peeps out there that DON'T feel an ominous tone playing beneath us in every waking moment? If so, would love to how you can achieve such nirvana in times like these

Just googled this to see if anyone else has made this connection and it seems like it's a fairly novel observation (one post on X with one like also noted it) so here it is: Ayo Edebiri and Abbi Jacobson sound really similar. There...I said it

We need to start dedicating those small free libraries to kids. Fill them with the books kids want and need to read! They're pretty savvy about what books are for their own level.

I would venture to guess that a fair amount of Americans aren't familiar with the concept of Occam's Razor...which is more than fair, knowing or not knowing it has no bearing on someone's character. But that concept: the simplest explanation probably being the correct one...that has me pretty scared

If I can impart any sort of intel that may (or may not) be a form of inspiration to anyone: take pride in yourself. If you feel like you display true compassion for people, despite whatever struggles you go through or differences you may have, then whatever your daily output is: you did f***in great

You know what's great about being an empathic and compassionate person during a time when it seems like the complete opposite of that is the one in the ruling class? Do you? Like, I'm generally asking, I'd really like to know

Btw I apologize to anyone who might be interested in my account who scrolls through hoping to find content related to current events, etc. and not my love of sports. But it's one of the few things that has sustained me since I was young. So I'm gonna keep posting about it at times, especially bball.

Also apparently re:All Star games the NHL one is still going on. USA vs. Canada. And there were also three fights...in the first NINE seconds?! Wow...I don't know how much of that is based on international relations becoming (unfortunately) tense, but I found myself rooting for team Canada each time

Just watched the Slam Dunk contest. Was there 25 years ago in person when Vince Carter put on a show for the ages. Then watched on TV as Mac Maclung with another show for the ages...legit one of the best displays of dunk creativity /execution I've seen and had serious competition from Stephon Castle

This is deeply disturbing. Minnesota stands with our LGBTQ neighbors against this unthinkable crime. I’m grateful to the law enforcement agencies investigating. Gwen and I send our deepest condolences to Sam’s family and community. apnews.com/article/new-...

I just watched a recording of the trans vampire hip-hop musical I wrote/performed/produced at last year's Hollywood Fringe Festival. It was the first time I watched it through, mostly because the experience itself was a traumatic nightmare behind the scenes. Despite that all...it slaps. Really proud

I've heard ppl discuss if/when Bluesky will be bigger than Twitter/X... My thought: when random friends of my parents start following and replying to my posts with long-winded, poorly punctuated messages filled with random CAPITALIZATION...that will be the day. Until then it's just a pipe dream.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
