Let's compare and contrast with tRump's behavior on Easter.

My world, my Earth is a ruin. A planet spoiled by the human species. We multiplied and fought and gobbled until there was nothing left, and then we died. We controlled neither appetite nor violence; we did not adapt. We destroyed ourselves. But we destroyed the world first.

I put a Methodist church on the cover because a lot of my followers think Catholics are going to hell, which they aren’t, of course, only the ones who follow this Pope. And also the last one. And, frankly, a lot of the Methodists, because too many of them are woke. open.substack.com/pub/hollyber...

Every time someone calls Trump an alpha I think 'I see what you mean but I wish my US friends had a two bugfixes after general release president'.

"...one of our major parties revealed that it will not step up even when its leader threatens unthinkably massive war crimes and even genocide." @gregsargent.bsky.social keeps saying it and I think that statement is the most important (and depressing) truth to come out of this whole debacle.

I wonder if JD Vance regrets killing Pope Francis now that Pope Chicago is in charge

Summary (via a friend): They closed the strait again b/c war that isn’t a war that we already won has a ceasefire that isn’t a ceasefire that was just violated, now strait that’s completely open that will also open up naturally is closed but that’s fine we don’t need it also open the f---in strait

It's a pretty clear pattern. I can't wait to seize the assets of all these jerks to pay for universal healthcare and daycare.

This may be more accurate than anything else I've seen at describing recent world events... youtu.be/QqreRufrkxM?...

For everyone with power to stop this, this is a moral moment. Which side are you on? Humanity? Or war crimes?

Gen X collectively reliving Challenger, Columbia and Cold War nuclear holocaust anxiety all in the same week is a fucking lot, y'all.

Please. Right now.

My nephew just decided to join the Navy. It's going to be so good for him, life-wise. I am so proud of him! But, what a scary time to have a nephew in the military.
