🧵 1/4 - "I am rich in my friends". I was recently gifted a lovely fountain pen from a dear friend, hoping that I would enjoy it. The pen is by Casey Giddens, a maker whom I've admired from afar but had never held one of his pens. This one is gorgeous, pairing a warm, dark-toned wood...

Excellent underlying message in this.

Indeed—Elect more women!

Of course. Of course it should be reported, and of course they aren't. What gutless simps MM has become.

European candidates need to stop monopolizing the time of JD Vance. Democrats need him at home campaigning for Republicans.

Orban now. Republicans in November. Time to do the hard work to save this place, this nation.

This man never fails to bring it.

The more I think about the 70,000 ICE incarcerated without due process the more I think we are underreacting. People are literally trapped inside for profit prisons. We need to do something.

Absolutely. NOW!

That is an excruciatingly funny response!

This is simply genocidal language and is a horror in itself.

literally further away from earth than any human being ever and still can’t get away from him, brutal stuff

Absolutely. We are the playthings of a madman at the moment, and where, oh where, are the legions of people that call themselves "the news".

🧵 1/4 - I've been lax with fountain pen posts, so here's one I finished up last night. This is a Gold Bond, a second tier brand from early last century. This pen is made from celluloid (which they termed "Stonite") in jade green. It's a nice big pen, the same length as Sheaffer flattop pens...

Win.

Done. Following and reposting.

8 Million protesters yesterday at #NoKings. No police beaten with flag poles. No fire extinguishers thrown at other humans. No vandalism or theft. No racist flags. No zip ties. No death threats. No pipe bombs. No poop smeared on walls. That's what happens when mature, civilized people protest.

This is why YOU want to be there on Saturday. This is why YOU NEED to be there on Saturday!

Two Dems need to drop out.

In case you don't think it is critical to keep showing up, to make each occurrence larger, louder, and striving for impact. In case you thought you might just let it all play out.

Fuck ICE

Endless gratitude for this selfless person, made for the moment. Thank you, @hcrichardson.bsky.social

So will I. I hope millions more will, too.

Totally on point.

Ferris wheel press and esterbrook are both overpriced trash and together they can create the world's most cynical moneygrab scam. 550? get out of here. you can probably find or commission a better looking better made pen from an indie pen turner for a fraction of that price

I'm going to be re-upping posts like this. It has to be a MASSIVE turnout.

Governed by children, who are led by a brat.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment. Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off. The 25th is never happening.

Everyone. Everywhere. You simply MUST turn out for this!

Best Twitter riposte of the day.

Just watch this. Watch the mindlessness that was given carte blanche by the regime. Vapid airheads making deeply important decisions, clueless to the max about any of it. There are SO many reasons to be infuriated... daily.

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

In 72 years on the planet, I've never before had a President who made me want to puke. He can't be gone a second too soon.

@atrupar.com totally nails it in one, succinct paragraph.

The evils done in our names.

Beyond the thrust of the jabs, the incredible linguistic artistry.

Remember when MAGA told us we weren't the world's police force? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Raise your hand if you think we deserve a president that has a better response to American troops dying than “that’s the way it is.” 🙋‍♀️

Dear Mr. Amodei, This is to inform you that your product, Claude, has been used to kill innocent civilians, including many children. You must be so proud. Regretfully, Decent People

Every single fucking day, it gets worse.

As so many have said, it is the cruelty that is the point. This poor woman, I hope she heals AND gets justice.

There it is. Head of the Federal Bureau of Inebriation, calling himself out in the future. An administration that is the worst of the worst.

This, too, is murder. Everyone involved in his case should be held accountable.
