The older I get, the wiser Socrates becomes.

can’t fucking catch a breath make it stop

What’s a self-Checkmate called? But not when it’s a surrender

Running the government like it's the 90s NBA

The amount of passive voice in this statement is inspiring awe in this room.

The question "soldiers should obey illegal orders" ultimately boils down to "should soldiers shoot and kill opponents of the regime when the pretend dictator commands them to do so?" Whether they realize it or not, these people are arguing the regime should be allowed to kill political opponents.

Philly Bluesky escalating….

This is when Bluesky really gets good

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." -FDR, 1937

important post because it shows us that the American ability to retcon how not awful a past leader was is far from being a Trump phenomenon

The problem with AI isn’t that it substitutes cognitive thought, it’s that it substitutes judgement, and that’s far more valuable and harder to obtain

An asylum-seeker wrongfully deported to CECOT then repatriated to Venezuela may have succumbed to the violence he was fleeing, a federal judge says in a newly unsealed opinion that declines to hold the Trump admin in contempt of court for violating her orders talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

Students arrive around 9:00. By 9:30 the room I was subbing in was screaming at each other.

WOW WHAT A COINCIDENCE

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks, don't you think?

I feel like all we did in highschool was talk about how scapegoating is wrong and how it doesn’t work, and now we do it all the fucking time. It’s going to drive me insane.

The sabotage is happening everywhere all at once; a gang of supremacists, so convinced of their own superiority that they never bothered learning much about the sum total of human knowledge, and who now, faced with their own vast ignorance about human progress, have made human progress their enemy.

Watch Girls5eva immediately if you’re a 30 Rock head who hasn’t by the way. Kimmy Schmidt too, although that one always seemed off balance on the real world/live action cartoon scale and varied widely in quality.

Lunch duty in an elementary school is a special kind of hell

“Things happen” is saying something.

I originally created these truffles just for fun while experimenting, but they quickly became one of my favourites. And judging by the feedback from customers, they’re not just my favourite!

The President of the United States is actively involved in a coverup of a pedophilia ring and possibly more. He must resign.

Yeah, he definitely wants Nazis in his political tent. This is indisputable.

President Trump must resign given his relationship with Epstein and the trafficking ring he facilitated and exploited.

an incredible thing just happened to me: my vet has added an indoor-outdoor pigeon to its family, his name is papi chulo and when I was taking pictures of him outside … he perched on my head. I have never been so delighted in all my life!!!

Sulzberger being in the Epstein files would fit some pieces into place.

Did the administration or Trump ever answer for the Medibed video he posted?

Went ice skating with my nieces, first time on skates in probably 15 or 20 years? I’m worried what tomorrow will feel like.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Everybody loves to haggle over their cancer treatment or their blood pressure pills.

Do you think they’ll try to make a Trump AI president after he dies?

Imagine telling someone in 2013 that by 2025 half the White House would be destroyed to make space for a Versailles style ballroom.

Tofu tacos rival ground beef tacos.

Important to remember that the President has been credibly accused of sexual impropriety with minors and must resign.

So many salacious Epstein emails in teeny tiny font, hardly any alt text

It’s kinda amazing that the Nazi fascism takeover of the United States will all be undone because they’re all a bunch of pedophiles.

any updates on this btw?

The reflexive tendency of mainstream news outlets to frame all political news through the lens of partisan bickering rather than making definitive statements is also one of the benefits that have accrued to Republicans after a half century of bad faith attacks on "media bias."

The President must resign because he is a pedophile and has produced no reason to think otherwise.
