It is interesting to me that I get the most angry emails when I mention masks in an article than anything else I write about.

Trump on Venezuela attack he discussed in a recent radio interview:

Q: Can you say any more about the explosion in Venezuela that you mentioned in a radio interview. Did the military do that?

Also me: the little tree is heavy with snow. I got some of it off of her.

We lost a tree about a year ago to a lightening strike. I cried. I miss that tree.

People who don’t struggle don’t like to be inundated with seeing need online. Needy people aren’t really supposed to exist where they can see them. They complain about the sight of need.

Watched the CECOT segment.
Wouldn’t have seen it except for all the fascism.

I was taught to read banned books.

There's really interesting social science on how white people significantly overestimate the number of people of color in a room or in a picture. A room with, like, 20% POC will be perceived as majority POC.
White men are 30% of the US and if they look around the room and see it’s less than 90% white men they think it’s affirmative action.
85% of CEOs are white men.

All but one US President has been a white man.

65% of all elected offices are held by white men.

Roughly 30% of the population is white men.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS TOPIC EVEN???

I was behind a car with a shoot your local pedophile sticker on it, and I wondered for a second if they realize who everyone thinks that’s about now, or if they’re still out looking for that pizza parlor.
