"...we’re living in a period of time right now where we’re going to have to figure out how to live together... we’ve all got very different opinions."

The "didn't know, don't care, and trans people are tantamount to pizza toppings to me" excuse we've come to expect.

working on my essay about how Ozymandias is actually the hero of Watchmen because he defeats destiny itself and secures his place in history permanently. Apparently there’s some poem I need to read but I’ll do that later

Calling valid criticism of Bari Weiss “hysteria”? She’s not even been in her new role a week. Jenkins and everyone else should let Weiss fail on her own merits before throwing their whole bodies to defend her.

Sally Jenkins @sallyjenx.bsky.social · 6h

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Hard taco shells only!

Unseasoned ground beef, chopped tomatoes, a slice of American cheese, and shredded iceberg.

We were trying to come up with the "whitest possible taco that someone would actually eat"

My proposal is: Plain grilled chicken, French fries, ranch dressing, shredded Colby jack.

I think tater tots are whiter than French fries.

Back in the 90s when neo-nazi skinheads were everywhere, people wore colored laces in their Doc Martens to signify which side they were on. Red meant nazi, one black one white meant anti-racist, blue meant neutral, and green meant you like frogs and were anti-fascist. Been thinking about that a lot.

Bari Weiss appears to be the only person on Wikipedia described as a “US media mogul.” Who gets to declare mogul status?

Chris Murphy: "Republicans are boycotting negotiations to reopen the govt bc they're desperate to raise premiums on people by 75% in order to finance their tax cut for the wealthy. The other reason House isn't in town? They're about to have enough votes to mandate the release of the Epstein files."

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."
