So I owe taxes, can't pay my rent, can't even pay for the tax software, and I couldn't use the IRS filing because I had to file for two states. Things are going so great right now.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.
I am going to make risotto, and while I'm doing that, Cory Booker is going to crush the record of a white supremacist and that is going to be glorious.
It’s well known that I was on The Apprentice. We were all covered by NDAs at the time, but mine has now expired. And do I ever have some tea to spill. I’ll post it later today after consulting once again with my attorneys.
I did not actually consider moving to New Jersey as a viable option but Cory Booker is absolutely selling me on it by being a source of pride.
If Sen. Cory Booker makes it to 7:19 p.m. EST, he will break segregationist Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond's record for his 24 hour 18 minute Senate floor speech against the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
My graphic novel pitch was rejected (not the genre they're looking for) but the story got killer feedback, so I'm taking that as a W. If anyone knows a comic/graphic novel publisher looking for political suspense, HIT ME UP.
I'm not Irish, but I do like Rob Lowe! Happy Rob Lowe Birthday Day to all of those who celebrate!

Thank you, Michael Fanone, for your service but mostly for saying this and cracking my shit up before 10 am. (Also: If you're not following Jim Acosta, start now. He probably won't make you watch dictators. Just Fanone.)
Jim Acosta@jimacosta.bsky.social · 2y agoBest line of the night from Fanone: “Jim, I love you… but f*ck you for making me watch that.” From the post-speech edition of “The Jim Acosta Show.” open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...
Do not -- DO NOT -- watch The West Wing right now, it will only depress you. It doesn't matter that writing is great and everyone on it is eminently fuckable. You will watch it, and you will just feel sadness.
Roger McNamee@moonalice.com · 2y agoTo appreciate how the US has changed, watch these classic movies. - The Post - All the President’s Men - Hidden Figures - American President - Dave - Apollo 13 - Good Night & Good Luck - Imitation Game - Spotlight - Wag the Dog - Die Hard With A Vengeance The world they depict is unimaginable now.
The joint session of Congress is going to be a repulsive man-baby slurring through lies and "WATCH WHAT I CAN DO" bullshit that he thinks will impress his stupidest followers and a dictator. Why would anyone watch this. Literally nothing he says is worth hearing.
I know this is the official doom-and-gloom app (trust me, I am with you there), but, um, is anyone else watching PARADISE right now?????? I'm still catching up but WOWZA.

I was privileged to know Gene Hackman because he played tennis with another Gene—Gene Wilder. And that Gene told him about a little role called The Blind Hermit in our movie YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN…
True story: I was supposed to see this movie with my friends when we were 15 but my mom wouldn't let me because it was rated R, and she told me I would "go to jail" if I went with my friends and one of their moms. I told her that was not true, and 30 years later, she does not care.
Benjy Sarlin@benjysarlin.bsky.social · 2y agoGene Hackman dying seems a good time to tell you that Sam Raimi made a western called The Quick and the Dead, absolutely every cool actor is in it, Hackman destroys in every scene as the Big Bad, and for weird reasons 1995 America decided it was bad and erased it from memory
I've had an idea floating around in my head about a hostage negotiator who becomes a hostage himself -- so I reached out to a retired FBI negotiator who was at Waco and he generously gave me an hour and a half to pick his brain. I have even more of a story now. I just want my gratitude out there.
This is Darla. She heard that eggs were becoming a big problem in this country. Was simply keeping her family safe from this one. 12/10

Anonymous@youranoncentral.bsky.social · 2y agoA sitting US president posted this, yes it was Trump. He wants trans belly dancers and to frolic shirtless on a beach with Netanyahu. The whole thing is odd, even for MAGA
Good morning — white nationalists are still domestic terrorists, even if they’re running the country.

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…
This was predictable. Also: THESE ARE STILL THE BAD GUYS.
Liz (or Lizzie) Kim 김혜성 💫@lizzielizliz.bsky.social · 2y agoNeo-Nazi group plots to rebuild as Trump’s FBI chief takes helm an audio reveals.

Surely there is an underground cadre of white hat hackers preparing a massive cyber attack on the Musk/Trump administration, right?

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths
