(3/3) our initial response might be: that’s ridiculously illegal they’d never get away with it. Then it goes to court & it’s ruled to be ridiculously illegal. The problem, they’ve already destroyed irreplaceable artifacts. No matter what the eventual outcome is the damage is permanent.

(2/3) but they aren’t there over an issue of efficiency. Instead, it’s a group of young earth creationists from one of the Evangelical groups that support him. And they start going through fossils & other physical evidence. Then they start destroying it on the spot.

Right? Musk too, always going on about how we need to have more kids but then immediately goes after life saving programs. Can’t help but speculate if he means only a very particular demographic should have more kids…

This is the sort of thing that makes me say: Hank’s right, humans are pretty amazing (sometimes)

Comment 3/3: so there are 2 main options. Either the people who told you to vote for him under the pretense that he would help the situation are woefully ignorant or they are liars. Either way, don’t listen to them anymore. Either way, they are not the leaders you deserve.

Comment 2/3: for anyone who feels cheated or betrayed by his recent statements, keep in mind that you should have been given the information in that video. Whoever advised you to vote for him, community or political or religious figure, should have known what his advisors for the last decade believe

Comment 1/3: for those that grew up and/or run in religious circles similar to me, none of this is shocking. I’d seen who POTUS surrounds himself with as advisors & knew precisely what they believed. He lies frequently which is well established. You can’t trust his words so look at those advisors.

I think we also need to do an honest accounting for how many of us may meet the criteria for clinical depression. I gotta say, I’m fighting the rotmaxxing urge on the daily.

I think we all know they’d be unincorporated territories to make sure they wouldn’t have any sway in national elections

At this point I don’t buy a mental illness or neurodevelopment diagnosis for him. I think he pretty clearly falls under the dark triad model. I find that reality much more terrifying. It’s like we invited Louis van Schoor into our government to run amok.

If it was Flat Worms For All I’d be all about it those things are cool

There are so many arguments to be had here but one issue I feel should be used as a point of comparison is aid. It didn’t succeed but there was an effort under Biden to try to maintain some balance through Gaza aid. I don’t think we’ll see even an attempt under Trump.

Reading “Skin: A Natural History” by Nina Jablonski & rereading “Rise & Fall of the Bible” by Timothy Beal, and “The Long Goodbye” by Raymond Chandler. Gonna see “Presence” tomorrow

He tries to deny being any form of journalist by claiming that’s a profession/occupation & that’s not his job. I would argue that it’s also a role you can play in society whether you mean to or not. He plays the role of journalistic interviewer but refuses to take responsibility for it.

I was absolutely 100% positive they would go as far down this rabbit hole as possible & it’s f-ing egregious to watch (the fact that this kind of bs was on its way had my mom crying all day Monday)

This is so amazing I’ve been watching it over and over!!! So many details, like using their mouth to open the door, resulting in everything in the scene being elevated 🐦‍⬛.

Edgar Allen Poe raptors = 🔥🔥🔥

I’m very curious on everyone’s take here. Do you all think it’s likely that a massive amount of fundraising will take off in the next few days for his defense? And I don’t mean because people think he’s innocent.

Coincidentally last night was a Veil of Maya kind of evening
