The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

Second attempt at DIY fly screens was a success… on three sides. Should be better than a full open window.
Also the smell of the fresh fly screen kinda made me crave a cigarette. Is that the formaldehyde? 😬

Not to mention also that even if we are assuming that these are troll farms being financed by people in other countries, they could just as easily be being paid for by Americans themselves. Like, for example, the richest man in the world, who is a far right lunatic.

If I wanted to speed run a dystopian dark age, I would:
- close public libraries
- enshittify the internet to the point of unusability
- end childhood vaccinations
- reserve healthcare for the rich
- cut humanities programs at universities
- pour the nation's wealth into AI companies

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

In a world in which people with too much power and influence desperately need to be told and to understand when they are wrong, we are suddenly all inescapably drowning in sycophancy machines.

Pretty great to see Wikipedia have today's entire "Did You Know?" section dedicated to trans historical figures, or articles combating trans misinformation.

This is an accidentally honest answer. What she's saying in code is:
"The President is a misogynist, petulant bully. You've all seen him be a misogynist, petulant bully. And lots of voters out there are also misogynist or petulant or bullies and that's why they like him."
"The President is a misogynist, petulant bully. You've all seen him be a misogynist, petulant bully. And lots of voters out there are also misogynist or petulant or bullies and that's why they like him."
Q: What did the president mean when he called a reporter "piggy"?
LEAVITT: Look, the president is very frank & honest with everyone in this room. You'll all seen it yourself. You've all experienced it yourselves. And I think it's one of the many reasons the American people reelected this president

There are a million children in Aotearoa, about 700 of them have been prescribed puberty blockers (that's 0.07%)
Medication decisions should be decided by the child, their caregivers, and the relevant health professionals, not a party relying on imported culture wars to stay in power

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend
