Breasts have always been political – and right now they’re front and centre again. Is it yet another way in which Trump’s worldview is reshaping the culture?

X is broken. Latest tweet in my feed from an hour ago. The war won’t be live-streamed? Is that it? Or is it the multiple protests in the US?
Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

The Rule of Idiots
In the last days of all empires the idiots take over. They mirror the collective stupidity of a civilization that has detached itself from reality.

Ben oui, on voit plus clair dans l’hypocrisie.

Please do it! 😄

D’une connerie sans nom!

So, interestingly everyone was complaining about the X algorithm and how their feeds were infected. Mine was not except by ads and I rarely encountered trolls despite my « woke » politics. However I have noticed since the weekend that my IG is now polluted by MAGA and Musk stuff!

Oui parce qu’avec tous les problèmes dans le monde ça, ÇA c’est important! 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️

This is the death of expertise. It's mob rule by the dumbest idiots on Twitter over what spending should get cut in demagogic fashion devoid of logic, reason, or rational thinking. It's a spectacle to divert attention from the looting of the public by unelected oligarchs.

Les threads ici c’est pas évident. J’ai vu ça après.

People still dining in restaurants, especially during this newest and second-highest COVID surge confuses me. An airborne virus isn't going to give you thirty minutes to dip your roll in mashed potatoes. An airborne virus doesn't care.

We have the tools and yet… we won’t use them. No words. When this all started 4 years ago (4!!!) I never thought I could become so disappointed in humans and the systems that run us.
