It was the easiest, one question, open book test in American history. And we are all suffering due to their failure. I will never forget, and never forgive the people who did this to us.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Watching #WalkingWithDinosaurs only to pause every 10 minutes to groan. Like... did not a one of the PBS people think to consult an animal behaviorist? Zoologist? Anybody with a passing interest in animals??? One episode in & this dino has done half a dozen things NO animal would. Terrible writing.

It sucks that I know I would absolutely go to the hospital right now if I lived in Canada or the UK. But I live in America, so instead, I've been in bed for two days straight just hoping this debilitating pain goes away 🤞

I hope you love something beautiful and meaningless. For me, it's football. I don't care what it is for you, but I wish you a deep love for something that means nothing until you give it meaning through your attention.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Finished the audiobook of #EverythingIsTuberculosis on Monday & saw @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social on Tuesday & recorded many bits & anecdotes that I'll probably never have the energy to clip together for public consumption (ha), but I managed to pull out my phone in time for a sing-along of hope.

The #ProjectForAwesome raised over $3.6 million this weekend for a variety of reasons. I summarized one of those reasons in a meme.

Got to pull out #Krampus once again for the #LightsInTheHeights #Christmas light viewing! Amazing how many people didn't know who I was, but plenty others knew exactly. Some even screamed and ran at the sight of me. Highlight of the night. #Houston #HoustonTX #Grinch #SantaClaus #HappyHolidays
