This whole video is jaw-dropping.
I need everyone, esp anyone working in education or tech (but really everyone) to WATCH THIS CLIP of @drtanksley.bsky.social discussing the technologies infiltrating our schools & psyches and how she is addressing it with our young people. youtu.be/5mtcSL4S3HQ

We each, in our mortal spans, have only so little time to move and flit about enjoying and sharing through kindness the joys and comforts of this world so I truly believe there are better things all of us can do than sharing the Lizza article and continuing to feed these ghouls attention.

Just a friendly PSA if you want to commission artists for Christmas presents, which is a great idea btw, you have to get on the ball about it BEFORE Thanksgiving. Like do it today. I'm not doing commissions personally I just want to save you panic or disappointment. Get on that dream artist ASAP 💛

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?

We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

The funny thing about this meeting is that Mamdani didn't back down on a single policy point or anything he's said about Trump.
yeah here it comes

Mamdani probably got home, turned to his wife, and let out the longest, loudest “this fucking guy” of all time

elise stefanik’s whole campaign for governor was relying on trump amplifying accusations that mamdani is a jihadist and not only did he have a great time meeting the guy, he directly rejected agreeing with stefanik, specifically.

incredible stuff

The Zohran press conference is your regular reminder that the entire administration folds like tissue paper at the slightest hint of confidence and conviction, and thus the fact that national democrats are playing a game of capitulation and weakness is exactly why they're all getting away with it

I literally think Mamdani went “you know, there was actually a President so popular that people kept electing him more than two terms” and Trump was like no way tell me how he did it
Trump posts:

“It was a Great Honor meeting Zohran Mamdani, the new Mayor of New York City!”

He included multiple photos of Mamdani in front of the portrait of FDR that Mamdani spoke with Trump about during his visit.
