One small bit of joy I get is that Trump is so annoyed that Obama got the Nobel Prize, and how much it bothers him, just gnaws at his guts that the Black President got one, and he hasn’t gotten one. It’s a small, mirthless pleasure, to be sure, but I’ll take what I can get.
Opposition leader Maria Corina Machado has worked to promote democracy in Venezuela.
“If she had turned [the Nobel Peace Prize] down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” a source close to the White House said. trib.al/oKX1dm5

I don’t know what I would do as Dictator, but one of my first decrees would be no words on sneakers describing their features, and no more than two logos. Like, thanks for letting everyone glancing at my feet I have Max Cushioning. This is helpful information for all involved.

So the man says, “I don’t want to work, I just want to bang on the drum all day.” And I’m like, big deal, I don’t want to fucking work either.
But then the man says, “I don’t want to play, I just want to bang on the drum all day.” And I’m like, shit, this guy is serious about the drums.

So, I’m on Verizon and Verizon keeps sending me texts trying to sell me a new phone, because they have my number, because they are my phone company, and this isn’t that big of a deal, but also, it would be nice if this country would tell big companies they aren’t allowed to do things like one time.

Just told my 10yo daughter about #ChuckSchumer. She had tears in her eyes. And then she did the Wakanda pose and said "#Chuckanda forever"—which is the sort of pop culture cross-over I can celebrate.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

I know comparing Trump and Biden (or literally anyone) is a sucker’s game, but imagine the field day the rightwing press would have if any Dem dared complain ONCE about a stopped escalator. But in this timeline we have to learn all about them, because it is now Lore.
President Trump called his escalator mishap at the United Nations "sabotage." The U.N. says the White House team triggered a safety mechanism. We asked two people who work on escalators to explain.
How escalator safety mechanisms work — and why they cause machines to stop

I’m always a little wary of brain science, but it is so ignored that rightwingers are literally scared of everything, and since fear is weak and feminine, they react by giving cops and the army all of our fucking money. And then spending the rest on guns.
