RENO/TAHOE PEOPLE, I hope to see you there! Friday, October 3 6 to 7:30 pm University of Nevada, Reno at Lake Tahoe Prim Library Mezzanine University of Nevada, Reno at Lake Tahoe Free and open to all

(Note how everything went directly to hell the second they got rid of DEI 👀)

Will we ever learn the lesson that until everyone’s freedom is secured, no one’s freedom is secured? We shall see

“If you can only be tall because somebody is on their knees, then you have a serious problem.” —Toni Morrison

I keep coming back to how these folks have rage-quit democratic norms

Nothing highlights dishonor like pretending to be honorable

We need a peacekeeping mission here 👀

I will always love a random bathroom selfie ✨

Can a tariff on economic literacy be far behind?

For the last time, “apolitical” is HIGHLY political

In these engagement-driven times, it’s important to remember that it isn’t a good thing to engage with everything and everyone…

(Matter of fact, it’s precisely because the arts champion and cultivate imagination that they’re under attack 👀)

Empathy requires imagination—something the arts expressly champion and cultivate. So participating in the Nevada County Arts Council’s Business of Arts Symposium at this moment in history felt especially meaningful 🙏🏽

I don’t want to hear anything else about what we should or shouldn’t be putting in our bodies (Tylenol, artificial sweeteners, sugar, or fat) until something is done about the BULLETS being put into bodies

Portland is war-torn only if you tear it with war

Next he’s going to release the files on the Lost Colony of Roanoke

No matter what they do, the Epstein Files will keep coming back up. It’s like in the horror movies where somebody builds a house on a graveyard

Microdosing abject horror

Well, people wanted to “shake things up” or whatever

There’s about to be an executive order that we have to be on TikTok 😅

Is TikTok about to get Disney-ed? 👀

When you live in a house full of guys and you want to raid somebody’s closet for something different to wear, you might just wind up entering the world of basketball shorts 😅

So many people to thank for getting the country to this point—I hardly know where to begin

So just to be crystal clear, they’re saying that being opposed to fascism is now a crime?

THE INSCRIBED BULLET: A MYSTERY By Anonymous Leftist

Never in my days have I ever once seen or heard ANYBODY use the phrase “Anti-ICE” until today lol

Meanwhile Jake Tapper is somewhere working on another Biden exposé

A big objective here is to keep people busy confronting and analyzing obvious nonsense and while they steamroll over whatever they want

Turned up Rapture-ready this morning! And my talk was better-received than that big one at the UN, by the sound of things

I mean, at an absolute MINIMUM, you need to be able to pronounce the thing you’re opining on

I actually have a book talk first thing Rapture morning. So I’m bringing my slide deck on a thumb drive, just to be safe

Wearing a cape tomorrow—just in case 👀

Let’s just say these guys are the LAST people I would be taking medical—or any other—advice from

I mean, for those who subscribe to these prophecies to miss the leading candidates for the mark of the beast on the forehead and right hand 👀

Let me tell y’all something about Memphians: Anyone coming for us should expect a clapback (and this one is delightfully and appropriately petty 😅) brobible.com/sports/artic...

Well my day began when I was awakened by an earthquake. Let’s hope things improve from there

“Collaboration of the population in denouncing political opponents and volunteer service as STOOL PIGEONS are certainly not unprecedented, but in totalitarian countries they are so well organized that the work of specialists is almost superfluous.” —Hannah Arendt, THE ORIGINS OF TOTALITARIANISM

I hope to see you there! We have MUCH to discuss… 💯

Blessed day

Somebody with a tank of helium and a dozen or so inflatable dolls has a chance to do the funniest thing

Just unexpectedly and serendipitously went on the most stunning impromptu home tour of my entire life. Google the William Westerfield House 🫢

The fragility of what we had going in this country (*HAD*—past tense) cannot be overstated. And now it’s disappearing like mist

Friday fashion challenge: Incorporating leopard print (with pink spots 👀) pedal pushers into a work outfit. This is kind of like the outfit version of a mullet—business on the top, party on the bottom

Now more than ever, I understand why Samuel L. Jackson frequently incorporates that word into his discourse

Honored to join @chewsviews.bsky.social again in soul-stirring conversation about how we’re thinking about and navigating these turbulent times 🙏🏽
