When small men begin to cast big shadows, it means the sun is about to set. - Lin Yutang

It appears that my employer, Dartmouth, one of the Trump 9, has said no to the compact. All the better given that our president is cited within it. But she’s saying no. Count the small victories when they come.

"Land of the Free", my arse!!

Pro tip: make a QR code for your guest password and print it on a laminated card that you can hang somewhere. This way, no awkward “what is your wifi”nonsense. Yes, Apple has password sharing but this way they don’t need to even search for the SID and it works on Android too.

Rest in peace, Dr. Jane Goodall💚

Yet we have people here in Australia who want to emulate what America is doing. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. We must ensure that Trumpism has no chance here, ever. Dutton wanted to do it, Nampijimpa-Price wants to do it. Keep the LNP out of government. #auspol

BREAKING NEWS: TYLENOL RESEARCHERS FIND DISTURBING LINK BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP AND JEFFREY EPSTEIN

In case your local Sinclair or Nexstar (🖕🏽) owned station didn't air Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight, here it is on the show's YouTube channel. youtu.be/c1tjh_ZO_tY?...

Stephen Miller’s speech at Charlie Kirk’s memorial appears to be heavily plagiarized, echoing passages from Joseph Goebbels’s 1932 essay The Storm is Coming. Goebbels, Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda, was a key architect of Nazi messaging, notorious for manipulating mass media...

To ‘ultra-crepidate’ (19th century) is to lecture others on subjects you know very little about.

Hmmm...Maybe this original line is better?

Very Well Said!

This is a LOL joke if you take the time to read it! 🤣🤣🤣

Joy Reid Making A Great Point......

Today I offer a reminder of the word ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted from too much work. To be ‘foreswunk’ (my own version) is to be exhausted before you even begin.

I don’t know who this lady is but I want to make a big deal about what she just did. A senator running up to ICE and telling them to leave is heroic!

Lynchings are not just the past. They are the history of racism—alive in the present. The history they want to erase. Here. Now. Trey Reed. Cory Zukatis. Say their names.

For those who don't recall, the closest ship to the Titanic was The Californian. They did not respond to distress signals. The Carpathia did, from much further away. That captain was a hero. This is so worth your time.

Great thread!

Get to know the man you're eulogizing. In his own words!

This was a word AND he cussed 😂

"America-First Christian" is an oxymoron. But only if you've actually read the Bible. www.simonandschuster.com/books/Separa...

I’m frankly disappointed with what I’ve learned about some people who profess to oppose political violence, but instead mock those unalived in political violence. It’s time to call out this hypocrisy. Join our movement for justice here: www.qasimrashid.com/subscribe

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...

I wonder if a good part of the reason there's so much kerfuffle about his death is that everyone's slowly starting to realise how much more kerfuffle will occur when the other guy dies...

US President back-pedalling furiously after his administration treated some innocent hard-working Koreans like they were innocent hard-working Latinos.

Remember the “narco terrorist” boat that Trump bombed? Venezuela reports all 11 killed were civilians. 0 gang members. If you think they’re lying, then USA could prove it by showing the evidence used to verify the 11 were terrorists. They’ve offered 0 evidence. This was a criminal act. Murder.

TRUE THIS !

“If you can’t honor a man by quoting him directly because his own words seem disparaging to his legacy, then perhaps you shouldn’t try to honor him at all.” Watch my latest here: www.youtube.com/live/2Mv50KZ...

Oh, and guess what — not only is this pre #FOCS2025 satellite event free, there is some financial support (covering accommodation, on the #USyd campus) for students available! Register to the event, apply for travel support! (The latter by Sep 19) sites.google.com/view/celebra...

I cited actual Kirk quotes where he calls Black women less intelligent, demonizes me for being Muslim, & dehumanizes LGBTQ people—& his supporters are upset at me for “speaking evil of the dead.” If quoting him is “speaking evil” maybe ask yourself why you followed someone who believed evil things.

You're getting a clear X-ray of America right now. Look at who this country's powerful institutions choose to elevate, venerate, and celebrate. Look at the double standards. Look at the people who adore Charlie Kirk - then spend five minutes reviewing his hateful legacy. This is America.

Governor of Utah, "I was praying that it was an immigrant." The USA is a hellhole, to smear immigrants like this on stage in front of the whole country when they had nothing to do with it. This is disgusting.

Word of the Day is ‘snerdle’ (19th century): to stay warm and still beneath the covers for as long as humanly possible.

Sometimes the historical dictionary offers solace through the existence of an obsolete word that is sorely needed now. One of them is ‘respair’, recorded just once, in the 15th century. It means fresh hope, and a recovery from despair.

Can we report him to the AFP?
