And no, repeating it and then suggestively arching an eyebrow doesn’t count. It’s the US president spreading an absurd lie to cover up an enormous massacre of children - a dreadful historic moment

“Iran has Tomahawk missiles, a fact we disclosed only after a Tomahawk was caught on camera striking a school, in Iran, during a US bombardment consistently of hundreds of Tomahawk missiles” -if your news org isn’t openly attacking this claim you may as well run Sandy Hook false flag theories too

Having recently been introduced to Taskmaster (thanks, @deathsausage.bsky.social ) I can fully appreciate this meme.

Hell yeah it is which means I'm finally going to watch it after harboring vague intentions to do so since it came out

Also, hot take - if you would uproot your whole life just to avoid contributing a bit to your local schools and roads... And you already make more money in a year than many will make in a lifetime... And you *already pay* a 3x lower tax rate... Maybe I don't want you to be my neighbor anyway.

Some Republicans will, presumably, argue against it. It should be an argument we welcome.

Wait they're really calling it Operation Epic Fury?

This is such a neat idea 🧼

I hate Whole Foods but I do think shoplifting from them just for funsies is pretty tacky. Undignified.

It was only medium weird when my now-husband and I took our AIM/email romance offline in 2002 lol

I think our exit strategy from this war should be to unconditionally surrender Trump to Iran.

When all the other time travelers are busy killing Hitler, I’m gonna take out Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Describe your plot in five words or less, if you dare! ⭐Child elected to government office⭐ (this pitch is currently with my agent if any editors are interested)

Maaan there's really no basement. This might be some of the most offensive bullshit I've heard from Alex E. Jones since I started listening to Knowledge Fight. Great episode, but the actual Alex excerpts are *rough* knowledgefight.libsyn.com/1122-march-3...

The only thing I'm chill about is not caring much one way or another about daylight savings time.

Yeah, the logic of this one has always hurt my head. I want to prevent the troops from possibly getting killed, and also killing others and having that on their conscience. Seems pretty supportive.

Fault and responsibility are different things, and neither one is ever the exclusive purview of a single person, especially in a democratic society.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

The Harris campaign performed well, as far as campaigns go, in that she was multiple points closer in the swing states the campaign focused on, and had a smaller loss than most of the world's incumbent parties. There wasn't One Weird Trick she didn't do, nor One Big Mistake that cost it all. Sorry.

I just want everyone who knows me to openly admire my restraint

Feeling pretty good about Spain lately

Would you hate a country that dropped a bomb on your child's school? 🤔 Asking for a friend!

She's not kidding about the adorable baby dragon keychains

Husband wearing a Seahawks hoodie to ECCC and I'm worried the nerds eill mistake him for a jock sympathizer

I do, I really do

Hell yeah

Rotta, honey, what have they done to you 😭

no breakfast, pouring my third cup of coffee this morning the orange that’s been sitting on my desk all week:

Having faced no consequences for anything, Trump has noticed that he has the world’s largest military at his command, and believes he has found a brilliant solution for solving problems that no one before him was smart enough to discover: just kill everyone in your way, until they obey you.

The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.

Yes

If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.

Gender-affirming care remains legal and protected in the state of Washington. Last year, our team secured a preliminary injunction blocking two executive orders that threaten to end federal funding to medical institutions providing gender-affirming care.

wish I didn’t feel I’ve been naive about the prospects for humanity. but before the je/djt files were released, I had no idea of the scale of heinous malevolence.. how widespread it’s been. an epic reckoning is needed. our fate as a species depends on it. next months and years will be telling.

The strikes murdered over one hundred school girls. And you think people will say “thank god, someone is here to liberate us” rather than support whoever counters that horrifying murder?

When my husband gets hired somewhere, I stg I'm coming back and subscribing to Fingers so I can finish reading this piece, which was obviously written specifically for me.

Okay for real though if you're at ECCC this weekend you are actually required to go check out Valor, the coolest ttrpg. It's ✨mandatory✨

I really really just want us to stop killing people man.

My "fact about me that sounds fake but is 100% true" is a lot less fun since all the Epstein stuff came out. (In seventh grade, I stood in Bill Gates's shower!)

All issues flow from this one issue

Come look for me at ECCC this weekend! Gonna have some helpers this year so I'll try to stop by and see other folks as well!

Aw, see, now that's cool.

Idolatry in the modern age isn’t statues, it’s the assurance that we are gods, in control of our own destinies. The surest proof of the fall, of that reality, is when we proudly proclaim that we won’t be like the God of all - that we won’t be merciful.

Well geez when you put it that way 🫠
