an absolutely monumental achievement! A massive congratulations to her for breaking barriers, challenging stereotypes, and proving that determination knows no bounds. Becoming the world's first practicing lawyer with Down syndrome after 5 years of hard work at the Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas

Michelle Obama, exactly as she is. Beautiful, graceful, intelligent, and strong woman. Joy is resistance. Grace is power. #SheShed

A good thing you can do about this instead of dooming is Google “how to become a poll observer in [your town]”

Catherine O'Hara spent her life injecting joy and magic into the world at every turn. We must all make a concerted effort to follow her example.

This is perfect

What if every country got together and developed a schedule; every few days, a different country invites the esteemed Pres T to a ceremony wherein they bestow upon him a “Very Prestigious Award.” This would keep him occupied and properly fluffed, thereby reducing his propensity to do constant harm.

I don't actually think he wrote this. The sentiment is surely his, but the complexity of these sentences is beyond his capability.

Long shot, but does anyone in Switzerland have an emergency Theremin to loan tomorrow night ( Friday 12 December )? #ViaMardot is playing a show in St Gallen, and the airline lost her equipment!!! We can help pay for a courier if needed, please share to get this message out!! #theremin #switzerland

Travis & Taylor should have a wedding ceremony, maybe become each others' medical proxy or whateverits called, but not legally get married. That's my completely unsolicited and uninformed legal advice.

Game on.

Just for the record: she's "on the internet" but in fact she showed up at an event IRL and spoke truth to power. In a deep red state.

Can we get some prominent democrats to make statements asking Mr. Trump to please not release the Epstein File. Like, can they act all nervous and skittish and thank Trump for protecting such sensitive content? I feel like that would be hilarious.

Why hasn’t Trump ordered a fake Epstein report to be generated and released? Seems like a win/win. Tell ChatGPT to say it was Soros the Clintons and the Obamas? The base would love it. Problem solved. I can’t believe he hasn’t, honestly.

Anyone have any favorite 'go to' #WeightWatchers meals to share? I'm looking for inspiration. Here's one I like: 1/2 cup rolled oats 1 scoop vanilla protein powder 1 cup unsweetened almond milk Mix those all together. Top with your choice if fruit (I do strawberries, banana, blueberries).

Congratulations to Canada. I'm happy and relieved for them! 🇨🇦🍁🥌🦫🥅🏒

Maybe Joe Biden should have eliminated the DOE by EO on his way out the door, so that Trump would be enthusiasticly re-instating it now.

PLEASE share this! youtu.be/O4CRk0J7ZPo?...

I think half the reason he did that salute is because he's a Nazi and the other half is because he wants to sue any publications that call it a Nazi salute into oblivion.

I bet they are using the cold as an excuse. I bet the projected crowds were set to be even smaller than last time. Moving it indoors takes care of that optics problem.

In Trump’s mind he is the controller of this side of the world, and Putin the other side.

When he was named PotY in 2016, it was arguably an ominously lit picture and some thought the M was intentionally placed to look like devils horns on his head. This year, the photo composition is much more flattering to him. He meets the criteria, fair enough. But I wish they’d used his mug shot.

Anecdotal, but: I used to listen to a ton of political podcasts. But since the election, I’ve stopped cold turkey. I thought I’d eventually resume, but I don’t think I will. I can’t be the only one. I wonder if the ratings bump they were chasing via Trump will be a bust.

Bluesky, Today is my 2nd day on here as an escapee from The Bad Place. I am BEGGING y’all to repost this I have $80,000 in scholarship money to give away to women and girls NATIONWIDE. I worked so hard to raise this money. Applications open THIS week. I’m scared the mass migration will impact this

I stopped doing the NYT games during the strike, which was a little hard because I did them every day and enjoyed them. And now that we can do them again, I’ve not gotten back into it. It’s weird. Like I accidentally quit a habit that I didn’t really want to quit.

Let's just make Democrat and Republican bathrooms and see which one women choose

MTG threatening her colleagues with blackmail perfectly illustrates why you don’t want compromised people in positions of power. But, since compromised people ARE in positions of power, why aren’t Dems also blackmailing them? Vote against 47 or we’ll spill the tea on all you crooks and rapists.

Did Mike Tyson turn off Evander Holyfield’s ear buds?

I’ve never watched a boxing match in my life, and I’m not really a fan of Mike Tyson, given some of the things I’ve heard about him over the years. That said, I would LOVE to see him flatten Jake Paul. I think I’ll tune in.

I was lucky enough to see Guster last night at a private event. Love them!

straight up yoinking that shit

Happy Fruit Fly Season to all who celebrate. Time to set the traps (that don’t even really work). 🙄🪰

New yard sign just dropped!

Big guys, with tears in their eyes

A small story for you, Bluesky, in my occasional series of Things that Happen in London. So my daughter (just turned 17) and two friends were on a late train the other night. Also present: an exceedingly drunk lady returning from Taylor Swift, snoozing in the opposite seat. /1

The Dickin Medal is the highest award that can be issued to animals in British military service. Bearing the words "We Also Serve" it has been awarded 75 times since its creation in 1943. Only one cat has ever received the award. This is the story of Able Seacat Simon, of HMS Amethyst. 🧵 1/25

Everything is striking me as funny today.

Harris should agree to the Fox debate, but only if she can bring the audience from the NABJ event last week. They were blatantly, loudly laughing AT him and he couldn’t stand it. Mockery of his abject absurdity is the key.

Kamala’s messaging and outreach is already SO much more energizing and relatable than any I can remember. Night and day! It’s so refreshing and engaging and exciting, you know? And more “with the times” too. I’m really psyched. I hope we don’t f*ck this up, America.

I am “playing” Rainbow 6 Siege right now because my son had to leave and if you quit mid-game, you get banned for some time and we can’t have that! So I’m just standing in some boat or something, pressing buttons. Back in my day, we had a pause button and you couldn’t save your game! *shakes fist*

About 1 hour into a 5 hour car ride, my son’s friend projectile vomited all over the back seat. We were completely unprepared- not even a napkin! The kindness of two travelers at a weigh station, giving us paper towels and trash bags saved us. Sending thanks out into the universe for kind strangers.

I’m disappointed to learn that Pat Sajak is a MAGA, because he was my first celebrity crush back when I was a kid in the 80s. I think that’s hilarious regardless of his politics. Maybe more so.

Pride manicure! 💅

Three things that Trump loves are power, money, and harming people. If he wins in Nov, those things will guide him. He will enjoy monetizing the presidency and harming the entire planet. I imagine he’ll be very transparent about it. His retribution. He’ll want us to watch.

Best I could get with my iPhone.

The Easter bunny hides lacrosse balls instead of eggs at our house.

This whole “DEI means ‘didn’t earn it’” bullshit is *particularly* ironic, given how many extremely stupid, useless white men in positions of power I encounter regularly. Hilarious, were it not so outrageous. Morons.
