My dear Wormwood,
It is imperative that you keep the patient away from doing anything to improving the material conditions of his neighbors, by any means necessary. Call it socialism, call it woke, call it politics, whatever is needful. (1/6)

If the daily show is correct, it's footage of a very obscure transgender athlete who plays a very obscure sport in a foreign country.
My... unfortunate first and immediate grim thought was: "... What's exactly on Fox News rn for him saying this at 6:30PM"
solely b/c of how often this has happened before

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Hi @libbiesp.bsky.social! I heard about your work through @dianabutlerbass.bsky.social and I wondered if you had heard the theory that Mary Magdalene was the beloved disciple in the book of "John", and possibly its author, and whether you had any thoughts about that.

The GOP fought tooth & nail for decades against classifying acts of racial terrorism as federal hate crimes because they saw it as "federal over reach." Now they're all "ooh, let's make it a federal crime to vandalize cars built by the world's richest man who's also our biggest campaign donor."
