You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.

Remember, it’s okay for
radio, cable, local news, newspapers, podcasts, youtube, facebook, and twitter to be right wing echo chambers.
But IT IS NOT OKAY for a new app that’s starting to gain traction to be a left wing echo chamber.
NO NO NO NOT FAIR!
😠 😭

People who say "I hate to say I told you so" are lying their asses off, because that shit feels so fucking good, and we're about to gorge ourselves on 4 years worth.

For me, the thing that knocked the wind out of me with this election is that I dared to believe America would get it right THIS time, that America was ready for a Woman President.
It hurt having that blind faith in neighbors, friends, and strangers smacked out of me.
Dammit, America. 😞

I love that when I say "the good place" and "the bad place" everyone knows exactly what I'm talking about.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.
Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Fun fact: there was a trans woman in the bathroom I was using today.
You’ll never believe what I did next:
I pissed. I washed my hands. I nodded to them on the way out, and I went on about my day because I’m not a fucking psychopath who cares what bathroom people use.

pundits keep telling me that trump’s wins aren’t related to racism and yet when he wins there sure seems to be people who see it as license to be extremely racist
Last week, Black community members at the University of Michigan shared their stories. A long thread, because there were a lot of them, and they can make you weep.

That's worrisome. People don't know the texture of things they have done.
no doubt in mind that the mass deportations are happening. the only question is how far they are going to go. and here’s the thing, i think a LOT of people — and especially the savvy journalists — will be shocked when he goes through with it, and when the round ups and deaths start.

Elon Musk plans to spend election night with Donald Trump, giving the former president direct access to the person controlling X, a key information platform, on what could be a chaotic evening.
Musk to Spend Election Night With Trump at Mar-a-Lago
Elon Musk has spent $119 million on a super PAC supporting Donald Trump and held events on his behalf. But his ownership of X is especially valuable.

"kamala harris will protect your right to disagree with her" is something i haven't really heard from another surrogate and i find it genuinely compelling?
NEW: Harrison Ford endorses Kamala Harris.
This is impactful, in part because it comes from someone without a long track record of endorsing candidates.
