This is where a lot of our differences come from.

Out o curiosity, do they usually take that flag down when helicopters land at the White House? From the article: "'It was lowered into a special container out of an abundance of caution during the Marine One landing due to high winds,' wrote the White House’s Rapid Response account"

Dear person selling stuff retail: There's no such thing as early Black Friday, or Black Friday week. Friday is one day. That unfortunately named other event is one particular Friday.

Feels like we're at the stage where Nixon caved to the pressure and released transcripts of the Oval Office recordings, which turned out to have been heavily edited and misleading. We might be jumping ahead to the 18 1/2 minute erasure, though. But I'm not sure the 1-to-1 comparison really works?

This church has done a lot of damage but they are gradually, bit by bit, doing good. People have lots of different reasons for hanging on to their particular belief system, but I have more respect for those who can do that and still do good things. youtu.be/uDydDRrSybY?...

Almost never does a comment I make to a post on Facebook help anything. But recently some guy joked at a SNAP news story that he wanted to quit his job so he could get free stuff. I gave him info about full-time workers at e.f. Walmart, disabled people getting SNAP. He was floored. He hadn't known.

It's hard to express what it meant to watch Maurice, Natalia, Celeste, and Rhea tell their stories—in their own voices—this morning. The segment revealed a brutal reality: homelessness at this scale isn't about personal failure. It's the result of policy choices and systems built to exploit people.

FT: The EU Commission is considering giving companies breaching the rules on the "highest-risk" AI use--those posing "serious risks" to health, safety or citizen's fundamental rights--a grace period of one year timesofindia.indiatimes.com/technology/t... Yet this regulation is needed right now 👇👇👇

An immigrant had her green card revoked for writing a bad cheque for $25. She had since paid it back. She’s now languishing in a detention camp. Yet we are letting child rapists go free. Even the ones who get caught get “community service”. It was never about crime.

I want to do exactly this when we don't need my Pacifica to be a family van anymore. BUT now I haul a 300 lb wheelchair on the rack on the back and it's barely strong enough. If I could get the same van but long enough to allow me to use a hoist to stow it inside I would youtube.com/watch?v=lX5j...

I have friends there who will certainly be voting for Roy Cooper. He's the right person.

What’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever done? I don’t mean “cheating on your partner” stupid, I mean stupid stupid. Like, once, I had this bubble bath which smelled absolutely delicious, so I took a big glug of it. That kind of stupid. (It did not taste delicious.)

this is theranos-level fraud, but everyone with the power to do anything about it is on the take, apparently

Woman on this train just said, "I do have an opinion, but I just...I can't be bothered to say it," which is a mood if I ever heard one

Teenager on train: I'm not a feminist. Mum: Do you want to own things and decide who you sleep with? Teen: Yeah. Mum: You're a feminist.

Man at the train station: What do you say man, shall we run up the stairs, get some exercise, show the world who’s boss? His friend (stepping on to the escalator): No.

A baby on the bus says: Ba, ba, um-ba, um-ba-ba. She understands with that deep instinctive part of herself that words are something she needs to learn.

I wrote a book! And I promise you'll love it 🤩 Here's what Philip Pullman says about it: 'This book is lovely - Miranda's observations are as sharp as ever, and in a strange way they seem to sharpen my own.' Buy your copy here: geni.us/ThePlaceImin ❤️

I with my difficulties and disabilities and needs and my kid with his are home alone for a few days. We have a little overlap in what's hard for us but mostly we are pretty good at helping each other.

This is the most corrupt presidential administration in American history and it’s not even close. They fought to stop Americans from getting food stamps while pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into their own pockets. www.propublica.org/article/kris...

That's why I love AOC, Crockett, and Bernie (who I didn't vote for) these days. I also love the brilliant Constitutional mind of Jamie Raskin. Right is right, without compromise.

I'm listening to Former President Obama on Marc Maron's podcast, and while I love the man, the cynicism that i havw developed over the last decade or so has made me deviate so much from the "We all just need to talk to each other because we want the same thing at the end of the day" mindset.

Peaceful protesters vilified and attacked as violent rioters, conscientious citizens of the USA contemptuously derided as imbecilic morons. Your government currently seems to comprise ‘some of the worst human beings on planet earth’. God help America. May it “throw off such Government”, and survive.

A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest “imbecilic morons.” This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power.

DHS calls citizens who are outraged at their horrendous actions “imbecilic morons” - completely unacceptable for an official government organization to use such language, especially in regards to its citizens.

Well that's good.
