I’m so damn old, I can do the crossword and five minutes later not remember a single thing about it and do it again. I do it a teeny bit faster the second time, maybe. But barely.

Not putting your fingers in your ears and sticking your tongue out when someone calls you “the dumbest” is one of your superpowers, @aoc.bsky.social
This is why you fight these cowards.
The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.
Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.
He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

A fun thing to do with this supposed Napoleon quote is to do a google search to see what forums it appeared on with this exact wording before 2022. I'm no computer whiz, so maybe I messed up, but the only hits I got were these two...for Stormfront, a neo-Nazi forum.

Is there a way to auto delete voicemails from “Morgan from loan eligibility” or is AI just the latest shiny object with no real utility as I’ve been saying all along?

Clarifying argument for not getting baited into arguments with maga trolls
Elon Musk's salute is a standard-issue far-right trolling tactic. I call it fascist peekaboo, and explain how it works here.
