Who hasn’t been innocently hanging out at the inauguration of a man dubbed by people in his own party as the next Hitler and accidentally performed a Nazi salute that could only be more blatant if it was accompanied by a tiny finger moustache?

I cannot cope with the hypocrisy, muddled reasoning, delusion and histrionics coming from this waste of oxygens mouth. As long as you’re a rich, straight, cis, white, male, who has tech available to migrate to mars when earth goes up in flames, the next four years should be fine… #inauguration2025

I coincidentally just rewatched Cabaret last night, and it’s honestly a bit too on the nose in 2024…

Opinion | Joel Grey: ‘Cabaret’ Was a Warning. It’s Time to Heed It. (Gift Article)
Much has changed since the show debuted on Broadway in 1966, but it’s what hasn’t changed that should worry us.

Bedtime audiobook listening #DerrenBrown great soothing, #stoic lessons for life. But I’m still convinced, as @stephenfry.bsky.social was in #TrickoftheMind that he’s a #witch (of the very best kind ☺️). I was very lucky to participate in two tricks with him when I saw him live many years ago!

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Soon, and very soon, MAGAs are going to feel the crushing weight of objective reality come smashing down upon their red hats, as the truth that cannot be covered over by Fox News fictions or GOP spin doctors becomes terrifyingly clear: they have lost, too.

Why is Elon Musk becoming Donald Trump's efficiency adviser?

I think I joined #Twitter in maybe 2008? A lot has changed since then - I’m now a late-diagnosed #autistic #perimenopausal woman, not a 20-something PhD student. @bsky.app is first place I feel I can be open about who I am at this point in my life (tired 44 year old woman with #ExistentialDread 😬!)
