I wonder if the name "Donald" will be phased out of existence like the name "Adolf" was. Imagine reading a "Today I learned" in 60 years that's like "before WW3, there was a famous cartoon character called Donald Duck". Insanity.

To my fellow pro two state solution demonstrators: play #SweetCaroline and chant #FreePalestine to the rhythm. It a banger. "Free Pa Les Tine: Oh Oh Oh"

Maybe #Trump was just sick of eating McD all the time and asked his staffers to bring him a mad gyros and they misunderstood. #venezuela #foodforthought

When actors aren't even typecast, but never get a role again after their one hit, maybe we should call that "Byers Regret". #strangerthings

Can we coin the term "provecy" for a "self-fulfilling prophecy"? If it proves itself, it's a provecy.

Look, this sounds silly, but I just realized a prime reason to vote for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social : he'll probably be the first mayor of New York City who'll be able to karaoke the Plain White T's #heytheredelilah. This is crazy, because a) the song mentions NYC and b) it was a hit 20(!) years ago

Prediction: as long as humans are reliant on language, music will stay the most important art form.

When labourers started disputing labor and labor rights, they were called saboteurs, from sabot, shoe. They walked noisily.
Now that we face a new era of labor reduction and wealth inequality, I wonder what will be the root word that coins this generations "sabotage".

The enemy is transparency, because transparency enforced truth. We're kept in line by shame and a false sense of privacy and propriety, but in the end, that's more harmful to all of us than just embracing full transparency, on every front.

Wanna know the real reason people aren't having kids anymore? The emancipation of the woman.
It sounds insane, but hear me out: In the olden days, women were expected to stay home and do all the household shit, which also meant looking after the kids.

The anti-fascism protests in the US should write a version of "No milk today" by Herman's Hermits that goes "No kings today" ("it wasn't always so")

Of late the knives are long in the United States.
In two separate events, two democratic senators have been shot in Minnesota, where the Democrats hold a majority of only one vote.
This is a clear coup being carried out, both slower and quicker than feared.

Ich habe einen Vorschlag:
Jetzt wo die #Bundestagswahl2025 vorbei ist, können wir doch alle Berichte über die AFD veröffentlichen und ein #Verbotsverfahren anstoßen.
Wenn dann in drei Wochen klar ist, dass #Merz es einfach verkackt mit der Regierungsbildung, machen wir #Neuwahlen mit #Pistorius. :)

When people say "the middle class" is what makes a society great, they aren't telling you the whole story.
Imagine wealth as a spectrum, poor people on one side, rich folks on the other.
We want a big ol' middle class in the middle. Many, many people who are neither rich nor poor.

The disdain for confident assertion of fact has led to a massive decline in the discussion of solutions.
We spend decades debating the "if" and "how", but we never reach the stage of "dealing with it".

Looking at the state of science in the US the #EuropeanUnion should start a fund for scientist who want to leave the #USA now. Call it Operation pilcrepaP if you want, but get on with it!

Ey was stimmt denn bei euch nicht @zdfheute Dieses #framing ist so abscheulich. In der Fragestellung die #Demokratie als "schwach" darzustellen, statt darauf hinzuweisen, dass #Trump Diktatorenallüren hat, ist doch Teil des Problems, das erst zu seiner Wahl geführt hat.

Ich sage es jetzt und einmalig:
Sollte sich 2013 wiederholen und #RGR durch ein Wunder möglich sein, und die #SPD geht trotzdem in eine Schwarz-Rote Koalition, dann kotze ich.
Und ich hoffe ihr kotzt alle mit. #Gruppenkotzen vor der SPD Zentrale (um Ostern rum dann).
