All my best posts are on Bluesky - I just use Twitter for the same reason people visit Florida: morbid curiosity.

This is horrifying.
Unbelievable.
Very few things piss me off more than anti-vax morons killing their children.

I just discovered that Minnesota's donut game is years ahead of everyone else's. Square donuts give more donut bites without sacrificing donut functionality. They're making fools of us all. We should worship these people, or burn them like witches.

Attention all charities: you are wonderful organizations that do much good. May I ask you to:
1. Stop issuing membership cards, especially plastic ones. They are of no use to me or to you.
2. Stop sending calendars. I get some 20 calendars in the mail every year, which is 20 more than I need.

This is what should be in the headlines.
The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.
