Content warning? Maybe?

A big shoutout to all the internet scammers out there, whose existence necessitates my wasting a third of my life with second- and third- and please-unalive-me-already- verifications to access the most mundane of websites. Pinnacle of goddamn human experience.

“Angertainment” is exactly it.
BREAKING: Trump and Republican leadership in Congress admit they are incapable of passing their own budget for NINE FREAKING MONTHS because they take a fuck-ton number of days off so they can perform angertainment spectacles, Trump can play golf, and because they hate each other.

French Senator Claude Malhuret:

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

My Roman Empire: the Romans historically killed people who attempted to become king, as they had a strong aversion to monarchy and considered anyone trying to establish a kingship as a threat to their republic.

all of this. it’s frustrating as fuck as everything unravels to see deals made so everyone in DC can go home for a long weekend. god as my witness I will back primaries on everyone mewling about civility right now. stop acting like amoebas and show a little goddamned spine.
it doesn't actually matter whether the Democrats can *actually* do much in Congress to stop Trump tbh. they need to behave like an absolutely rabid opposition party either way, because the party has to restructure itself around the single mission of destroying these fuckers

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

the best thing about having dealt with addiction in the past is i have no illusions about social media: it is a drug. we are all addicted. the people who deny this are rationalizing the way people with addictions do that. no shame, but that's what all this is.

I think it’s really important we identify the companies that are doing the right thing and reward them with our business.
NOW: More than 98% of #Costco shareholders have just rejected an anti-DEI measure

The attempt to force Costco to audit their #DEI work was by an anti-inclusion lobby group:

"The proponent's broader agenda is not reducing risk for the Company but abolition of diversity initiatives." - Costco Board

Looking for a *rescue* for two ADORABLE 12 week old puppies (1 boy/1 girl) that were dumped in a parking lot in the freezing rain. The finder reached out to rescues- some said they could make room only if the finder could foster - they can't.

In Charlotte but I can help arrange transport.
