People fascinate me. They also... 🤦🏼‍♀️

Currently in Montana.

Never give up.

I love @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com and watch him most evenings. But the sheer number of times he says "Donald Trump" in one show is driving me away. I can't stand to hear his voice or his name anymore. What is the benefit to hearing it 162 times in an hour?

My uncle would be so disappointed in the decision by @upenn.edu @upenn.bsky.social today.

Testing, testing, testing...
Miami just canceled its November election & pushed it to 2026. No public vote, just canceled.

Mayor Suarez & Joe Carollo get to stick around an extra year.

This feels like a power grab. If one city can delay elections for “participation,” what’s to stop others from doing it to silence opposition?

I gave up trying to listen after 3 minutes. The aggrieved act is beyond gross. Middle schoolers aren't even this whiny and dramatic.

Thanks to all who have the stomach for it and report back to us.
Most of this “press conference” is this lunatic yelling at the media. This guy is so obsessed with his press coverage that he can’t even function.

Most of the time I can't decide whether to be flaming mad or to laugh at these idiots. But Pam Bondi generally elicits a laugh from me. She always sounds like a terrified first-time teen pageant girl talking about World Peace. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I know that the LA situation is infuriating & I have so many things to say about that.

But right now I need to tell you all that I just saw (for the 1st time!) the Meghan Markle video of her dancing in her labor room with Harry and honestly, that is all I needed to feel a little better. Who knew?

What happens if California decides to just keep the money they usually send the Feds? I know they probably won't but what if they did?

Very common in my job.
There are times when I read a work email, and in my mind, clown music starts playing in the background.

This resilience is what makes me think about you all every day. You inspire me. ❤️‍🩹
One of the Russian strikes on #Kyiv last night.

Ukrainians live through that - and the very next morning, we go to work, kids go to schools, life goes on (we have to, we cannot let Russia win). Our resilience never ceases to amaze me, honestly.

This is pretty hilarious but it also highlights the entire problem I have with AI.

This is not an important item. But if it can't do this easily and correctly, there is no way AI isn't going to fuck up important things.

I know, I know...it takes time to perfect new things.

But it's here now.
a friend of mine shared this ai-generated "emotion wheel" and unfortunately i have been laughing my ass off at it for like 15 minutes now. today i am feeling Fnliinneon

Spent a little time over in 'the bad place' just to get an idea of what MAGA is up to and instead found this gem. So true.

There are a lot of days that I think social media is just a toxic wasteland and we should not have invented it.

And then there are days like today. 😂

This is escalating into hilarious heights. I thought it was women who were supposed to be "too emotional"? 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

In other words, I thought we were supposed to treat each other the same way we would have had we met in person. As it stands, there's a significant number of people who would be getting punched in the mouth these days.
I feel like I missed a memo somewhere about the human interaction part of social media.

I wanna see you, your interests, your pets. I want to discuss liberation, and things we love.

I don't want to barge unto your living room and smear shit on the walls.

That is apparently not a universal truth.

Information on who owns a home is not that difficult to acquire. I do it all the time for work. It takes me about 5 minutes.

Brazen is the word that comes to mind. Does all government now feel so emboldened? Maybe @maddow.msnbc.com is interested in this story?

On top of being egregious, there's this: "...and would charge the public a fee to comment during environmental review processes."

Reminder that it's been 112 days out of over 4000 that we are stuck with this kind of destruction.

With these opening of Alcatraz and tariffing films announcements, he's preparing to do something really stupid, isn't he?

This is Linda Martin. A few years ago, the FBI seized her life savings: $40,200.

The kicker: She was never charged with a crime—and the government couldn’t tell her why it took her money.

Martin is far from the first. But she is trying to make sure she is the last. A thread.
