I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

ICE is the January 6 insurrectionists all over again. Only instead of attacking law enforcement, they are pretending to *be* law enforcement. And instead of just terrorizing at the Capitol, they are doing it EVERYWHERE.

Good one from Andy Borowitz.

They’ll pressure a NATO ally to release a sex trafficker and racketeer but they won’t pressure a tiny dictatorship to return a man it’s holding on our behalf, who they admit they sent there by accident

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

Writers. Buy this book! So well written and explained and fun to read. #writers #writingexercises #storytelling - really liked reading about 4 act structures, nested stories and more. Lots of examples. @henrylien

Oof - this one's gonna haunt me for a long long time. Congratulations @sfreligh. A brilliant winning micro.💐🍾🌟

One good thing. Biden freed Leonard Peltier from decades in prison. Back in the 80s I interviewed one of his comrades, John Trudell for LA Weekly. Read the Matheison (spelling) book about Wounded Knee and have been angry about Peltier ever since. So I’m having a little happy moment.

It's wild that the Bloom study about 1:1 tutoring has been around for over 40 years, teachers have been advocating for increased staff & small class sizes the entire time, yet it's re-emerged as the TechBro mantra to answer education inequality & "democratization" with AI tutors. 😵‍💫

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's *adolescent* energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

Read my story of a young woman and a violent criminal. It’s funny. www.johnnyamerica.com/archives/202...

Cathedral thinking. Think about it.

America runs on two principles: greed and racism. Everything comes around to those two things.

This book is incredible. I wish I was still teaching literature. I would love my high school students to grapple with these ideas.

!!! seven years have passed like water down a clogged drain & here we are again.

There are a lot of cats here. For different cuteness-here’s a dog.

BOLO #Dogs #BullTerrier #DogsOfBluesky This dog was stolen in Utah. If you see this dog, please contact his owners, they are devastated 💔

I honestly don’t think Americans understand how much their day to day lives depend on federal civil servants and now is the time for professional commentators to write op-eds explaining

The confusion about events in Gaza should be studied in journalism schools. I don’t know who to believe. And clearly MSM doesn’t have a clue.
