I had to put this amaryllis outside as ants suddenly appeared on it. It has stayed this beautiful despite temps in the 20’s for a week. I’m going to be like this amaryllis—hold strong and thrive despite the harsh conditions I find myself in. I—we will survive and thrive.

She’s dangerous because she doesn’t know what she doesn’t know. Her ego is verging on narcissistic personality disorder.

These women are proving, unfortunately, they are unqualified to be taken seriously. It’s a shame because women are still fighting for equal opportunity and their arrogance is playing into the bias that women aren’t capable.

Was waiting to see how Olivia Reingold (who Oliver's piece destroyed almost as much as Bari Weiss) would respond, and you can see the tweet below which also shows she either did not watch his piece, or just didn't understand it, since he actually addresses this point directly.
Olivia Reingold quote tweeting Variety.

The Variety tweet is about John Oliver's piece on Bari Weiss leading CBS News, saying:

John Oliver slams Bari Weiss' takeover of CBS News: 

"I wouldn’t want anyone who led a pure opinion outlet, not even one that I happened to agree with, to suddenly be running CBS News. But it is especially alarming to have someone doing it who has spent years putting out work that, in my opinion, is at best irresponsible and at worst deeply misleading."

Reingold then quotes it saying:

Why does this sound like John Oliver commenting on……John Oliver

It’s a start. Keep making phone calls to keep partisan politics out of airport safety PSAs.

🚨KARMA STRIKES ICE!!

Turns out the only thing ICE can catch is public humiliation.

Watch the agents who thought they were untouchable get wrecked. 😂

Presenting the plague of frogs on Portland. And yes, I choose to believe God has a sense of humor & is laughing at this too.

There’s no better way to show how absurd a bully is than to ridicule their absurdity. Kudos to Portlanders! Stand United & keep exercising your 1A right to protest tyranny!❤️✊🏽

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

It’s not a big surprise Bibi didn’t show up for the signing in Egypt. He can claim an impending religious holiday but seriously. No reason he couldn’t fly in for a few hours and then leave. He is distancing himself from the agreement. Just wait.

It takes immigrants like John Oliver to see how insane American shit is. I’m a daughter of immigrants. When I was a kid my dad talked to us as we drove thru Native American reservations, how wrong they were & that the lake we enjoy so much belongs to them-never forgot that

This week’s main story is about Paramount’s decision to name Bari Weiss Editor-in-Chief of CBS News, the future of U.S. journalism, and why we think she shouldn’t describe her endeavors as “punk.” Bari, look at us: You are not punk. Joe Strummer would’ve hated your fancy Substack, Bari!

There is nothing Trumps do that doesn’t enrich them at the expense of others. It’s that simple .

* Over 20,000 Palestinians killed since January
* 100s starved to death, including kids
* Congress bypassed to send more & more bombs to Israel
* US citizens murdered in the West Bank

I hope this ceasefire holds & I am glad the hostages are free, but this is Trump’s *actual record* so far.

I saw horrifying GOP ads on national NFL games attacking trans people-those ads should have been answered w ads using the GOP language but flipping the script- saying trans people aren’t making lives hard-and so on—so many missed opportunities & I hope u ask Harris about that
menenkim.bsky.social
I hope you asked her those hard questions like you asked hard questions to Buttigieg. Btw-I sent a letter to my Dem reps and senators, the DNC, DCCC, DSCC, & my state DNC asking why Harris was so unprepared for The View & why there was no push back in the bro sphere podcasts, no ads on national tv-
