HOW DO GUYS KNOW WHAT GREETING TO DO?!

I always guess wrong. There are like 9590543 combinations of slapping hands, hand shakes, fist bumps and bro hugs and y’all just somehow know what to do while I’m over here fist bumping the cashier while he’s low fiving with my change in hand.

How many people are learning today that Not Like Us is not, in fact, the sequel to the hit NBC show “This Is Us”?

Trump: "One of the things we're looking at with President Zelenskyy is having the security of their assets. They have assets underground. Rare early and other things. But primarily rare earth. Really, we want security, because as you know, Europe is putting up much less money than us."

“Move fast and break things” is great in theory or in a VC presentation. It’s pretty catastrophic in practice, especially when the “thing” is government agencies and services.

The disrupters never turn around to see the carnage left in the wake of their “innovation”.

How did the entire galaxy seemingly forget about the Jedi and see them as a myth in just a generation?

This is how. Totalitarian control over everything. Push nonconformists out of public life. Control the media, the judges, the executive and hunt down those who oppose your control.

Elon Musk will be defeated. And we are on the cusp of a generation of stories with thinly-veiled Elon Musks as the villains who get the absolute 💩 beat out of them.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran.

Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

The right accuses the left of policing language, “forcing” pronouns and other woke terms on them. Making language more inclusive was too uncomfortable for them.

Now, they’re banning words in the federal gov’t to effectively ban those identities from participating in political life.

For those who don’t understand the gravity of what Elon is doing to the federal government, pretend the Lakers are Elon and Dallas is the treasury and all that data he stole is Luka.

The Lakers got one more imported good player in right before the tariffs made it too expensive.

Black speculative fiction is a well we must draw from to write a better future.

There’s a good reason that book bans played a central role in propelling the far right into power: a small-minded, myopic authoritarian needs his story to be the only story.

Black history is American history. The diversity of America is not debatable unless you believe a person’s humanity is debatable.

If you have to compel patriotism, it’s not patriotism. It’s fascism.

How long until every classroom will need a picture of dear leader hanging next to the flag?
