Donald Trump skipped the dignified transfer of four of our soldiers because he had to go golfing with the Saudis in the midst of a catastrophic stock market collapse he intentionally caused and you Yankee Doodle dipshits still think he gives a single flying fuck about this country?

🧵 People are giddy over the fact that Musk lost $20M in the WI election. Here’s the thing: that literally means nothing to him.
Musk could spend $20M/day for the next 47 years at his current net worth. BUT…

Am I the only one wondering why our country’s “leaders” are using a tool (Signal) created outside of our government to discuss highly classified strategic attack plans against a sovereign nation in explicit detail, including the mention of intelligence assets by name? Just me?

So at this point… given even more recent events (Trump saying that he who saves the country breaks no law, an over call for violence and facism), what’s next? How do we organize a ~45M person revolution?

Musk totally humiliated Trump during their joint Oval Office press conference. Musk brought along his 4-year-old son — making Trump look like the kid’s babysitter — disrespectfully wore a T-shirt and baseball cap, and even interrupted Trump.
It’s clear who’s really in control, and it ain’t Trump.

A Christian org using Johnny Cash’s cover of Depeche Mode’s “Personal Jesus” is akin to thinking Madonna’s “Like A Prayer” is a praise song. Or thinking CCR’s “Fortunate Son” extolls the virtues of young people fighting in wars. Or thinking Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” is a patriotic song.

The Venn diagram of the people that thought the “Personal Jesus” commercial was amazing and that Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show was terrible is a perfect circle.

An #AI tool that I would actually find useful would be one that replaces every image of Trump that my browser tries to render with something else, like a black box. Or puppies.

“Hurr durr, Trump doesn’t know anything about Project 2025 and said he isn’t going to do any of it [eats a crayon]…”
Memos posted publicly to government websites claiming to be from the acting directors of OPM and OMB have metadata showing that the original authors are affiliated with Project 2025.

I really enjoy when someone puts a meeting on the calendar for freaking 8am.
I love it even more when I get a notification that this person has started their meeting at (checks watch) 7:53.

We don't appreciate Nick Offerman nearly as much as we should.
You're synonymous with being a man's man. What was the last thing that made you cry?
I went to theatre school. I took two semesters of ballet. I'm the sissy in my family. I cry with pretty great regularity. It's not entirely accurate to equate me with manliness. I stand for my principals and I work hard and I have good manners but machismo is a double-sided coin. A lot of people think it requires behavior that can quickly veer into misogyny and things I consider indecent. We've been sold this weird John Wayne mentality that fistfights and violence are vital to being a man. I'd rather hug than punch. Crying at something that moves you to joy or sadness is just as manly as chopping down a tree or punching out a bad guy. To answer your question, I recently saw Alicia Keys perform live. I'd never seen her before and the sheer golden, heavenly talent issuing from her and her singing instrument had both my wife and me in tears. What a gorgeous gift she has. Her voice is so great. And I had no shame [about crying.] If you live your life openly with your emotions, that's a more manly stance than burying them.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:iipz2fdfgw3yyo37zwarr3n2/bafkreiftfeqcjvstbqhexxuksrtvsrkf6nb4c54kfjba5zzke3sqxzz4qu@jpeg)
