I was going to stop watching #thetraitorsus once Boston Rob left but after this ridiculous episode challenge I’m glad I stayed. “Bwha wah waah mwah. NIPS!”

Countries are not businesses and should not be run like one.

Countries don’t maximize profit - they maximize growth and happiness of their citizens. They’re obligated to care about citizens even at a loss. Your stakeholders are your citizens not donors.

I’m enjoying the old white confusion post Kendrick Lamar halftime show. Am I the only old white lady that uses Kendrick to hype up?

One thing I remember is thinking that there was no way OJ was guilty because it was inconceivable to my young self that someone could murder their kids mother while those kids were home.
I have since learned how naive that is. #manhuntOJSimpson

Oof I’m watching this new OJ murder doc on Netflix
I can’t believe how much of this I still remember. Vividly.

My neighbor (in Berlin) asked me today if Americans knew or cared about what’s happening in Germany right now. Unfortunately Americans are under attack by their own gov’t this week. And that’s about all they can take.

Homan went on CNN to complain that ICE’s attempts to arrest Chicagoans has been hampered by the people’s knowledge of policy—largely because of the city’s “Know Your Rights” campaign. Fascists rely on your compliance. On your ignorance. They depend upon your fear.

Disappoint them.

This is why I was so pissed last night when a “coach” told me there were positives to be learned from Trump’s tenacity.

Kids are worried their parents will disappear while they are at school and they are right to be.

They’re just pillaging in public and there’s nothing left to do but laugh.

Now I have to go on Reality TV so I can eventually get on The Traitors.

I’m too old for most of them.

I want to start watching the Traitors but I only know Bob the Drag Queen, Alan Cumming, Dorinda and Boston Rob.

I follow a coaching coach on Skool. He just posted “President Trump's secret message for coaches” and why he’s a great example of “not giving up”
What? I don’t have the money to sway an election with oligarchs. How does this help me?

For all Trump's talk of manufacturing jobs, you didn't see the CEOs of GE and Caterpillar sitting in the prime seats today. You saw the CEOs of Amazon and X and Meta and Google and TikTok.

It's the attentional oligarchs whose power he cares about.

These people don’t care about law or you.
Full & unconditional pardons.

More than 100 officers were injured.
Rioters beat and shocked officer Fanone with a stun gun at the base of his skull. Fanone lost consciousness, which his body camera captured on video.

Others yelled "kill him with his own gun."
