My hot take is that Trump is just really this shallow.
If you give him a good looking, charming young person who is a "winner"- he likes them.
He DOES NOT CARE about ideology, ideas, policies or anything else.
He cares about looking good and standing next to people who look good.

As if continuing to proclaim that prices are lower will make people suddenly not see that prices are higher.
Poor Donny is being forced to take a break from White House golden renovations to schlep across the country and lie about how his brilliant plan drove costs up for Americans and how he “doesn’t want to hear about affordability.”

People used to throw rocks at you until you died for this kind of stuff
The app Text With Jesus uses artificial intelligence and chatbots to offer spiritual guidance to users who are looking to connect with a higher power: on.nbc10.com/7XM8xrf
People can text with Jesus on a controversial new app. How does it work?
Artificial intelligence app Text With Jesus lets users chat with biblical figures and it is raising debate over faith and technology.

Dude I don't "sometimes feel" I have "long known"
I sometimes feel like they don’t want to end poverty or reduce inequality because they believe they’re entitled to a class of people they can prey upon

Pocket friends, if I were searching for a #documentary or film about the positive contributions of #Hispanic/Latino immigrants to the USA- something that was not too pablum but would also not make deep red undergrads shut off automatically- would you have a recommendation? #film #movies #academic

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Husband NEVER allows us to skip the intro song!!
What I like about the Mick Jagger Slow Horses song is that it's basically one of those Will Smith raps where he just describes the premise and events of the movie.

Christianity Today is an influential magazine in Evangelical circles, and it's a noteworthy signpost that they're doing stories like this because it's the kind of story that pops bubbles.

This is absolutely correct and I personally know some of these people. I was standing by to start delivering groceries and helping with rent for some of these people.
I fucking HOPE it's a point of radicalization. I couldn't be more disappointed in the cave.

I do think this is a point of radicalization because a lot of angry, angry normal people were ready to dig in and suffer a lot in order to make fascists suffer a little, and their resolution was sold out and made into a mockery
