Remember when Elon said he’d end world hunger if anyone could explain how, then they did, then he never talked about it again and in fact killed tens of thousands of people instead

I understand that there’s danger in dehumanizing your political opponents but I don’t know what else you’d call this worldview other than “inhuman.” he has no empathy, no charity, no positive feelings towards his fellow human beings. he is an anti-humanist. a being incompatible with humanity

Miller: "It's not a coincidence that when you look at these violent Antifa demonstrations not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person. Not one looks normal. They're all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism." #cdnpoli

"I think [Trump's] a kook. I think he's crazy. I think he's unfit for office." -- Lindsey Graham, February 2016 "What concerns me about the American press is this endless, endless attempt to label [Trump] as some kind of kook, not fit to be president." -- Lindsey Graham, November 2017

In a sane world (an alt reality) today's dissents would sufficient to warrant Thomas, Gorsuch and Alito's impeachment and removal from office. If you defy the plain words, meaning, intent, history, precedent of a black letter constitutional injunction u are abusing your power and should be removed.

It is the year 2026. Why does the iPhone STILL not have a two-finger gesture to rotate a photo 90 degrees?

Live your life in such a way that people don't gather in person and online in masses to watch your name be taken off of a monument.

So sad to hear that Marcia Lucas has died. Her editing career was short but absolutely incredible. Her work on Star Wars, Taxi Driver, and American Graffiti alone make her a legend. And despite George Lucas's efforts to do so, nothing can erase her from the history of Star Wars and Lucasfilm.

Awakenings (1990). Beautiful and devastating. Fantastic lead performances from Robert De Niro and a refreshingly subdued Robin Williams. Gorgeous score by Randy Newman. Wonderful direction by Penny Marshall. Seems to be mostly forgotten these days but it’s an all-time great tearjerker.

okay folks, I’m in need of a good cortisol release — please share which movies make you shake violently from sobbing. I’m talking Titanic, Fault In Our Stars, P.S. I Love You, the first dozen times you watch The Notebook level don’t let me down

Happy 76th birthday to one of my favorite musicians and humans, Stevie Wonder! I’ve had this sticker on my laptop for years as a small but heartfelt tribute. His music and activism and impact make him truly one of one. Here’s to many more!

The flu killed around 45,000 US soliders in World War I, almost as many as were killed in combat. US servicemembers have been required to get the flu shot for 80+ years. But thanks to Hegseth and RFK Jr. and Trump we can finally MAKE INFLUENZA GREAT AGAIN.

Breaking news: The military will no longer require U.S. troops to receive the annual flu vaccine, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said, rolling back what he described as “overreaching mandates that only weaken our war-fighting capabilities.” https://wapo.st/4eAG2sx

The CNN and NY Times headlines covering this genocidal madness both say Trump "issues grave threat." Congress is obviously the most culpable for propping up this evil and increasingly unhinged man, but the press is running a close second with their (mostly) gutless coverage.
