Trying to maintain a thread of realistic optimism. The anti-intellectualism, anti-science, ignorance, antipathy, sexism, racism, & corporate/authoritarian-bootlicking in my country terrifies me. And it's getting so much worse.

I love that the party that initiated mockery of ”participation trophies” has to give one to Piggy because his solid slab of overt pathology results in a whole fucking so-called “political party” treating him like an 80-year-old TODDLER. The 25th amendment is RIGHT FUCKING THERE, but they’re cowards.

I’m 100% vegetarian, but I’ve been kind of a lazy vegan this year. When people try vegan substitutes for dairy products, they often say “ew, that tastes weird”. I feel ya, because I’ve been dairy-free for so long that REAL DAIRY TASTES WEIRD to me now 😅

I just watched my fucking phone delete the letter o in the word “to” because I backspaced to AFTER the o and ADDED an ellipsis. After I hit the third period, it replaced the three periods with an ellipsis character as it’s supposed to… AND ALSO DELETED THE O, giving me the completely useless “t…”

My reaction to this is tears & outrage at the irresponsible fascistic regime that put our people in a fucked-up position they should never have been in. If we don’t acknowledge our shared humanity, what the fuck is the point of resisting tyranny??
Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent.
She didn't want to deploy to D.C.
"She hated it. She cried about it."
But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.
May she rest in peace.

Don’t know who needs to hear it, or if it’ll matter, but fighting enemies of freedom, of the constitution, of due process… DEMANDS we NOT BECOME the enemy via righteousness. Yes, “they” deserve due process. NO, murder isn’t “justified if it’s against THEM”. This shouldn’t be an unpopular opinion.

Conspiracy theorists are toxic to civilization. This thread might not be surprising, but it’s fucking maddening for anyone who sincerely cares about the work a government is meant to do.
Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2

Coughing is fucking EXHAUSTING

Not one iMessage I sent my friend this morning ever went through. I finally closed & reopened the app on my phone and they all magically vanished. Six messages, just wiped from existence because ALL SOFTWARE SUCKS SHIT.

Apple Watch Tip #1: If you need to quickly pause & unpause your workout, you can press both the crown & button at the same time.
Apple Watch Tip #2: No matter how firmly you press these buttons, nor how simultaneous the press is, the fucking thing will ignore it ⅓ of the time because tech sucks.

The sheer nakedness of the Trump regime’s corruption truly lays bare the foundational lawlessness of the USA, so long as you commit crime while Republican (or rich, white, and connected, on average).

A merit-based system would have no stock market. If you want to hollow-out a business, take it public; merit will be strangled pursuing a perpetual-growth fantasy.
In a culture glorifying the privileged and forcing average people to suffer, one default is *scheming to join the privileged*.

I have zero sympathy for Congressional republicans, regardless of whether they feel threatened by Trump’s cult. They CREATED this environment; they’ve BENEFITTED from it w/connections & wealth. These melting snowflakes would rather act in selfish cowardice than responsibility to their own country.

But it WILL further the toxic culture loop that makes fucked-up & broken children, and it WILL put a life-breaking burden on the mothers who will be essentially single parents in these arrangements. Making children doesn’t fix broken people; it just perpetuates the cycle.
I promise you, the gaping maw of loneliness & a lack of purpose borne of the mismatch between the self you truly are & the one-size-fits-all mold of patriarchal masculinity will NOT be filled by subjecting a woman to pregnancy, childbirth, and unequal divisions of labor just so you can be a father.

Does anyone know when & why Newman’s Own fucked up their Newman Os sandwich cookies? They used to rock, now they suck.
