I don't know who needs to hear this but NOTHING WILL MAGICALLY CHANGE IF YOUR LEAST FAVORITE DEMOCRAT LEAVES CONGRESS.

Republicans will still be the majority: The White House, Congress, and the Supreme Court. Because that's what white voters chose. We gave them full control.

Only we can undo it.

I really enjoyed this excerpt when I stumbled across it. Then I enjoyed @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social's photo threads with their astonishing alt text even more. So now I'm buying his book.

A reminder that sharing things we enjoy on social media is actually a good use of it.
This is the Villager extract which keeps bring new readers to the book.

It's not for everyone, and that's ok. I didn't write it for everyone. I wrote it for me. I don't expect (nor want) the book to ever be huge. But it's nice to have a few new readers.

Its authenticity was discredited because of his reputation, but also because he was quick with gin at the time and wearing an item of knitwear back to front.

To a similar question the other day, I answered Francis's giant bathtub from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.

Still that, but for the sake of variety, I'll add: I *love* aquamarines. Partly for the color, partly because they come in delightfully tacky giant sizes. There are a couple things I would buy.

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread

This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated.

According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

This video falsely claims to show US strikes on the Fort Tiuna military site in Venezuela this morning.

In fact, it shows Iranian missile strikes on Israel during the 12-day war in June.

This video falsely claims to show US strikes on a port in the Venezuelan capital Caracas tonight.

But the clip dates back to October 2024, and shows Iranian missile strikes on the Nevatim air base in Israel.

Every clip in this 2:38-minute video montage shows Iranian missile strikes on Israel in 2024 and 2025, none of clips are linked to US strikes on Venezuela this morning.

This is an AI-manipulated version of a real video of the US military operation in Venezuela.

While the real clip does appear to be genuine, this specific version has been manipulated using Grok to add dramatic explosions and strikes.

This video, viewed millions of times, falsely claims to show the US military operation in Venezuela this morning.

In fact, the video is old, and was posted to TikTok back in November 2025.

More AI-generated images of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro being detained by US military and drug enforcement agents have been shared online.

They are all fake and created by an Instagram user who makes and posts generative AI content.

This widely shared post, which claims to show Venezuelans celebrating the fall of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela, is false.

The video was actually filmed in Miami, Florida, and not in Venezuela.

Since day one, the Trump Administration has remained laser focused on attacking independent agencies like the CFPB because they work for the American people – not the President.

I will keep fighting against this unlawful federal overreach and keep winning.

You may remember there's an anniversary hearing scheduled at 10 AM this Tuesday.

I do not know whether or not that will be affected by the multiple illegal actions attacking Venezuela.

House Judiciary Committee released a 255-page transcript of former special counsel Jack Smith’s recent closed-door testimony before the committee. The fact they chose to release it at a time when most Americans are not paying attention to the news tells you all you need to know about what Smith said
