🧵How Putin Pulled Off The Greatest Intelligence Operation in History:

Putin's Small Investments Have Yielded Large Returns

This is a story about the best investment anyone’s ever made—anytime, anywhere.

Not a company.

Not a weapon.

Not a technology.

If Democrats in leadership had any juice (or any kind of clue at all), there would a bill outlawing guns at any protest on the floor TODAY. Watching Republicans choke on their Pretti talking points would give me a month-long erection.
Trump: "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that. But it's just a very unfortunate incident."

I search myself once a week to keep tabs on how/where my acting career is presented online (and also because of crippling vanity). Delighted to find that I am an entry on the website "Dead or Kicking?" Even more delighted to learn I'm still alive.

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis.

Say bad things are bad.

Now that I have made my way to the end of Stranger Things, I feel it's important to note that I never really did understand what the fuck was happening.

The new CDC #2 has a history of supporting medical gibberish.

Pro Ivermectin as a “treatment” for COVID, yet against mass vaccine campaigns.

It will fall to leaders at the state level and coalitions like the West Coast Health Alliance to fill the massive gap.

"Collecting that experience" is an incredible euphemism for "Asking a guy about the fact that more than a dozen women accused him of sexual misconduct"
_He's_ gone through an experience?

Trump, after 5 minutes in a room with Zohran: "The gears of capitalism are oiled with the blood of the workers."
Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?

MAMDANI: I've spoken about--

TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.

I wrote about Ta-Nehisi Coates and Ezra Klein, why swallowing live frogs is a bad idea, and how context and history can release you from bright-kid syndrome, the illusion that you yourself are going to have every answer or fix the world.
You don't have to swallow frogs
Klein and Coates show that if you don't know what your core beliefs are, you're going to get played.

9% of Americans have a favorable view of The Plague. They're just...out and about, walking around in grocery stores and parks. You have a decent chance of interacting with one of them everyday.
As a Jew, I don't love that 32% of Americans have a favorable view of the Crusades, but it does explain a lot!

Excited to bring "Trunk" to this summer's Hollywood Fringe Festival. A very dark comedy about the disorienting terror of grief. Here's hoping this year's Fringe participants will leave the Nazi bird site and use @bsky.app for promotion and connection this year! #hff25 @luciebeeby.bsky.social

My high school friend @huskersundevil.bsky.social invited me on his true crime podcast, "Going to Killing City," which focuses on infamous murders in KC. My web series "Shot...or Shot?" is related as it deals with infamous LA murders. Jamie created a great KC version! youtu.be/Dj9rQJDRdCU?...
