I have been thinking about this every single day since the day a military vet friend told me about it. How is it possible that no one shut this down - not Obama, Biden or Dem-controlled Congresses? This is the type of fatal unforced user error that makes ppl insane about the establishment Dem party

Say what you will about the final episodes of #PursuitOfJade but that last swordfight is extremely hot. 🔥 And also very Star Wars-coded.

quick everyone, do your laundry before Victor Glover sees what a mess your bedroom is

I LIKE LISTENING TO NICKELBACK. That should take care of all my new followers... 😜

I think the guys, girls, theys and gays of Bluesky deserve to see it too x

This death camp never closed down despite a concerted effort by many forces to convince you it did.

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

I know everything is on fire right now but we have to call about this, we’re already calling about everything else, just add it to the pile. The grief I feel rn is indescribable but to them it’s just any given weekday.

I love that soldiers were present to witness this moment because they will gossip nonstop the tale of the Marquis Wu’an and General Fan’s affection for each other. It will spread wide and large through the nation and become lore. #PursuitOfJade #cdrama #TianXiwei #ZhangLinghe

Just finished ep 16 of #PursuitOfJade Still enjoying this #cdrama a lot

A little sequential painting with peaches. I should do another one of these.

In retrospect, seems bad that we played Fox News 24/7 on USAmerican military bases worldwide for the last 25 years.

Don't give up—the show goes on.

*guy from a country the size of Texas with the population 1/5th the size of the US* Why don't you Americans simply have a vote of no confidence and remove Trump? Just protest like No Kings every day, he'll be pressured to leave

"sorry I can't come to your once-in-250-years party. I'll be busy doing something it would actually make much more logical sense to do four days later. I bumped it up on purpose so I could throw it in your face. eat shit forever, amen" there is no hater on earth like a hater from Chicago

never been religious but i gotta say if the Chicago Pope excommunicates jd vance im showing up to RCIA the minute the doors open

ME (IN CATHOLIC SCHOOL): I’ll fight the fucking Pope. ME (NOW): The fuck did you say about Papa? Adult convert tradcaths are a blight upon the Imperium and must be exterminated. They are pure heresy.

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

I have encountered and engaged with many Trump supporters, hearing them patiently out each time: and every single one of them, whether beneath a veneer of politeness or not, exhibited a fundamental spite and meanness about their fellow human beings that I found horrifying.

This was a really great analysis of the new Maul, Shadow Lord series! Had fallen outta the habit of listening to podcasts, and especially Star Wars podcasts, the last year or more, but this is fantastic:

I know there will be a long line to punch Vance in the face some day but I would humbly submit that Zelenskyy get a spot at the front.

been completely glued to the Artemis II coverage all week, I love space

this goes hard as fuck

Well, fortunately for them there aren't many Catholics in the U.S. and the Pope is really more of a figurehea...I'm being handed an update...

LOL LMFAO IDK man my money is on the woke pope who knows his way around a baseball bat. 🤷🏼‍♀️

"You rarely see things like this in immigration data, but it could not be more predictable right now: one immigrant dies in custody every six days."

"I think there's a small but real chance he's eventually remembered as a Bernie Madoff- or Sam Bankman-Fried-level scammer."

also i am just a little sicko, thinking about a world where aisha gomez is the tax chair again and amy klobuchar has to sign the most progressive tax bill in the nation and all of what we are going to win if we win back the majority hehehehe

look at 2023. every policy we passed that was popular was to the left of tim walz—but he signed them all and then ran on them as VP, and they made him look like a much more progressive candidate tim walz did not run on 100% clean energy and trans-refuge and DL for all and free lunch we did that.

'The dark is generous, and it is patient, and it always wins—but in the heart of its strength lies weakness: one lone candle is enough to hold it back. Love is more than a candle. Love can ignite the stars.'

Happy Birthday to the incomparable @mariecgould.bsky.social! I don't know how I got so lucky as to call her a friend! 🥹 Happiest of celebrations, MC! 🎂

America should be labeled a pariah state for what it pulled yesterday and I'm not joking. Like I'm talking trade sanctions. Tourist Entry denials. This is a rogue nation with no regard for international stability or human life.

I cannot keep track with how many notifications I'm getting from all over Beirut and south Lebanon right now of the places that Israel is obliterating. There are multiple reports of multiple massacres in the past hour alone.

Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic

OH. MY. GOD. THIS IS THE MILKY WAY SHOT BY THE ARTEMIS II CREW. LOOK AT ALL THOSE STARS!!!!

LISTEN TO THE PODCAST #PursuitofJade

There is no available mechanism for removing the Mad King because our political system is failing. Our system is wildly outdated. Few countries have: - two-party system - presidency elected separately from the legislature - strong, extremely unrepresentative upper chamber - politicized high court

I was explaining that I feel angry, all the time, to worrying levels, about everything, and for some reason learning 10 minutes before my session that today's doomsday clock had paused left a vacuum where suddenly the anger fractured and all I felt was this horrific grief for everything we're losing

It’s called the Cycle of Abuse or the Walker Wheel: calm followed by rising tension, the explosion of violence, the reconciliation, the incremental intensification of violence over time.

I am *furious.* I am so goddamn furious and so sad and so tired. I know there were problems before Trump. I know this. I *know.* But it wasn't a daily spectacle from a carnival barker determined to aggrandize himself at the entire world's expense. This is insane. This never stops being insane.

Call Congress and tell them to do their job: 202-224-3121

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants. Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare. (🎥 Al Jazeera)

You know what this decade in our species’ history will be remembered for? Dead children. Thousands of dead children in Ukraine, Palestine, Iran, Sudan, Syria, Lebanon and more. Children, bombed, blown up & shot on the orders of political leaders for their own revolting ends. A disgusting decade.

Remember how you felt about people defending their neighbors in Chicago, Minneapolis, and other cities around the US? Extend that empathy a bit further, to people Trump is calling animals. It may hurt to stop and think about how much you have in common with those people. That's okay. Let it.
