Well… that worked out. 😆📺

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Communism?

Yesterday, Ron Johnson accidentally said something that came close to common sense. He regrets the error, and will continue to be a sock.

She should have spent today laughing, playing, and feeling safe in her daddy’s arms. Instead, this three-year-old watched her father die. No child should ever have to carry a memory like that. #ICEOutOfControl #AbolishICE

This explains why I suffer from migraines, but it’s worth it! 🖖

No one should be dying from immigration enforcement.

AOC: I said this a couple of weeks ago: I would not be surprised if, when ICE funding started up again, we would start to see more civilian deaths at the hands of ICE. And that’s exactly what has happened. We didn’t see things like this happening with the same degree when we froze ICE funding.

This will come in handy for a certain central Wisconsin trivia contest...

After 30+ years, I will be returning to college to finish what I started. It's going to be interesting.

You can and should point out that police killing people daily is the "norm" in America. But that doesn't mean you *accept* the normalization of this violence and the way some people rush to smugly point these things out contributes to collective fatigue. Your horror has been stolen from you.

Good morning! Dog planter.

the president quite literally posted a video about making DSA illegal today

No doubt his team concluded that no one would believe this, but they'd give it a shot anyway. For my part, only a live video feed from an independent media source would convince me he is still alive and conscious.

Benoit Blanc (incredulous): Is this nominally august chamber even fully cognizant of how many of its number have slipped the veil?

Good morning!

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE. His three sons called him “El mundo entero” — the whole world. They watched as their whole world died in a video posted on Facebook. Lorenzo was our neighbor and fellow Texan. He deserves justice.

240 years in the future, a certain Starfleet cadet is nearly given his first demerit after one of the underclassmen in his class messages him this video.

Your regular reminder that you are allowed to feel relief - and even joy - when someone who is harming you and people you love is no longer alive and able to keep committing that harm.

Post an image or GIF from a movie that always cheers you up, but don't name the movie. Just the image or GIF. 🖤

By heaven, man, we are turned round and round in this world, like yonder windlass, and Fate is the handspike.

You're going to get left behind if you don't use Al." Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills, my ability to read and write long- form, and books without needing Al summaries.

Memphis is under siege from the federal government. This is hideous.

Get these motherfucking Nazis out of our motherfucking country!

From Stevie Ray Vaughan to Eddie Van Halen to John Mayer, the list of guitarists who point to Jimi Hendrix as a foundational influence is staggering. Few musicians have reshaped an entire instrument this completely. zurl.co/eB5id

Dragnet (1987)

I'm poised to reenter college after getting an AA degree in 1993... and basically not really doing anything with it. Is it the school's responsibility for my inaction? I would say no.

Which part has to be explained to register how concerning it really is: that a cognitive test needs to be administered at all, or that it has been done more than once in the last two years?

Books demand concentration and teach, among other things, pattern recognition. Most importantly, books challenge the reader to think for themselves. That is a skill that will never be marketable.

Important statement from the New York Times

“After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true.” -Mr. Spock

Corporations don't self regulate!

Best STAR TREK captain. Wrong answers only.

This 1972 anti–Vietnam War ad for McGovern captures a timeless truth: protesting isn't enough; we must vote. Imagine if profiting from war was illegal worldwide. As John Stuart Mill said, bad men win when good men look on and do nothing. Let’s act. Do something.

Difficult week? Here's a moment that may help soothe your soul.

"Every organ is totally different. It's a bit like sort of speed dating," says Anna Lapwood . "You have to try and get to know the personality of the organ as quickly as possible and then figure out what that organ wants you to say with the music." https://to.pbs.org/3S3meEY

This was not the first time for the peanut butter "installation", but it will be the last. Probably.

“There’s no such thing as over-acting as long as it’s true.” You gotta love ORSON WELLES.
