The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept voting for the axe. For the axe was clever, and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them. 🌲

Does anyone else collect transit cards when they go to a new city? It’s like the one souvenir I consistently get (and it’s functional, too - helps me get around while I’m there)

Mad props to this Alaska gate agent in San Diego who just basically told all the gate lice to take a seat and calm down as they’re blocking the way for wheelchair pax. “I promise, there is a seat for everyone on the plane” I love it

I could be totally wrong here, but the King speaking French and recognizing Quebecois culture in his throne speech seems like a huge deal. Though I do know it’s not without precedent as Queen Elizabeth II also gave her share of speeches in French

Senators from Wyoming-the least populated state-had an equal voice regarding a law that Senators from California-the most populated state-wanted for itself.
The existence of the Senate is just so astoundingly stupid it's almost not even worth pointing out anymore.

LOLing at the fact that I’m not allowed to accept a gift or meal over $25 from a vendor at work but the president can take a $400 million 747 from Qatar as a bribe

I just got an email from my university that I can't use the school logo in my email signature as a grad student and not faculty/staff - ok, fine. Glad to know that's where they draw the line, but employing a raging transphobic bigot is ok to them

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Surely the Trump administration will go after this with the fervor they’ve been going after universities and Tesla protestors because of their goals to eliminate antisemitism and domestic terrorism, right?

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.
Few Americans know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial
A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.
