I was thinking about that 1980s James Bond movie where everybody's trying to get their hands on a Fabergé egg for some reason
And then I realized:
It's an Egg McGuffin.

Looking forward to this great event! What should I put on the fidget spinners? 🤔
Believe it or not, the first Mo*Con was in 2006 making this year its 20th Anniversary! We can’t let that achievement go uncelebrated, so we’re bringing back some old friends and welcoming some new ones! Mo*Con 2026 runs April 30th (coincidentally my birthday) through May 2nd.

If you let them, the horrors will devour you whole. Making space to live and smile is an act of resistance. So is helping others to do the same. If you’re an artist in this time, remember that what you’re doing is part of the emotional support infrastructure. They want you silent. 1/2

So an officer has his phone out recording obviously distracted, shoots a woman and calls her a “f’ing Bitch” and they think that HELPS the case?!?

Unrelated ag fact: there are stingless Melipona bees that make honey!
Sometimes people think "I should raise those! Why do we even bother with honeybees, if we can just raise bees that don't sting?"
Then they try raising the stingless bees, & find out why almost nobody does that

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time.
Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief.
Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time.
Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

Having voted R does not mean people realized what this regime had planned. Lots of folks pushed to the margins weren't paying attention. Lots more believed what were always lies but were sane washed by most media before the election.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

I am begging you, folks. When someone posts something hopeful, restrain your desire to tell them why their hope is untenable, doomed to fail, or make some unreasonable political analogy out of it.

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

The folks looking for the cheat code are the same dudes who are willing to believe someone with decades of experience is a DEI hire while the male, white television hosts are "merit-based" hires in various positions in military, government, and business roles...
Yep. So many people struggle to believe there's no cheat code or secret handshake, just lots and lots of work (and the occasional stroke of luck.)

The problem here isn't that it doesn't make sense, I think.
It's only “DEI” if it comes from liberal coastal cities. Otherwise it's just sparkling white supremacy.

May I suggest it's possible to feel bad for someone on a human level without indulging his plans to kill millions of people? We don't have to hate him to stop allowing him to treat our country like he treated the east wing of the white house
You almost have to feel bad for an ugly old man with no family or friends to keep him company on Christmas Day that he makes 200 crazy posts ranting about everything under the sun.
Almost.
