What the hell: The US accidentally invaded Mexico on Monday, storming a beach and planting DoD “restricted area” signs claiming the land for “the commander,” and triggered a standoff with armed Mexican security forces, all because Trump’s government can’t even identify a border on a map. 🧵 1/

Really should start taking bets on how long it takes for one of my coworkers to explain Mayan bloodletting ceremonies in gory detail to each new coworker we get. She used to study Mayan archaeology, though it has no relevance to our job...😏🤷‍♀️

Yep totally a coding error 🤨

This really is the darkest timeline, I say to myself for the 34,373 time, ☹️
Article I Sections 9 & 10 of the U.S. Constitution—which limit presidential power over tariffs and protect habeas corpus—have disappeared from Congress’s website. They claim a coding error is to blame.
Sections of the U.S. Constitution Missing from Government Website
Articles I, Sections 9 and 10 are inaccessible on Congress-run portal, raising concerns over transparency and public access.

In 2008, a friend did special effects for an animated series set during apocalypse times.

The catalyst was the bombing of Iran nuclear facilities...🤯🫨

RIP to an absolute icon 😔 Listened to the Barenaked Ladies song "Brian Wilson" and currently listening to Pet Sounds. One of the best albums of all time, 20/10, zero notes.
Brian Wilson, the co-creator of The Beach Boys and one of the most accomplished songwriters of his time, has died at 82

Donated to a radio station I really like (Colorado Sound 105.5). I wrote a msg that I always think my Dad would've loved this station too-then I tuned in late morning to hear "Ripple" so I took that as a sign that I should donate! They read my msg on the air...NO, there's something in YOUR eye! 🥲

This movie was totally bonkers. I got the impression that it was supposed to be more of a horror movie with a few funny bits - however Hollywood was VERY anti-horror at this time & they got Dan Ackroyd to make it more of a comedy. A really fucking weird one!
I went almost 42 years of my life without seeing NOTHING BUT TROUBLE but that fairy tale ended last night. Now I've seen it & I can't ever unsee it & the knowledge of having seen it will cling to me like a malevolent ghost, until the sweet release of the heat death of the universe.

A 🧵 about some adventures while helping friends look for their dog! I drove very slow looking for clues, talked to 2 sheriff's deputies, a guy on the side of the road, drove up a sketchy road to a gold mine open for tours, stopped at a guy's house near where doggy was last seen...

Transcribed my great grandfather's journal. On Feb 2nd he made a note of Candlemas Day - did not call it Groundhog Day as many Americans would have.
"If Candlemas be fine
and clear,
There will be two winters
in one year,
But if Candlemas bring
clouds and rain,
Winter is gone and will
not come again."
