It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.
I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

Meanwhile, Elon wears t-shirts all the time. This was such a disgustingly obvious staged event intended to bully Z.
GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.
ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

Wow. It’s like Colbert REALLY sees me. Always knew MapQuest would end up on late-night TV — just assumed it would be for absolutely ReFuSiNg to remove Toys “R” Us from our maps 🫡

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect
Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

Thanks so much. I’m a most of the time sculptor out of St. Louis. I use a lot of cardboard in my work.
Im currently working on this dinosaur piece. It’s a big one so it’s taking place in my living room.

150 years ago, more than half the U.S. population was prohibited from voting, owning property, holding political office, starting businesses, or even having high paying jobs.
Referring to this as “meritocracy” may be the single dumbest thing Elon has ever said 😂

It's striking how SCOTUS could decide the TikTok ban in a few days but delayed and sat on the question of presidential immunity for months.
The Court can move quickly when it wants to. When it came to ensuring Trump could be brought to trial for Jan. 6, it just didn't want to.
