This week, @realDonaldTrump referred to Alaska being Russian, twice. Today, he called St. Petersburg Leningrad. If this were the “Manchurian Candidate”, the President would be exposed as a Russian agent.

The end goal is to make education a privilege for children born into wealth while destroying the meritocracy that is at the center of the American dream.
Stacey Abrams@staceyabrams.com · last yr.Donald Trump’s order dismantling the Dept. of Education is yet another attack on our children’s future. This isn’t about empowering states—it’s about gutting protections for students, slashing resources for public schools, + abandoning families who rely on federal support as a pathway to prosperity.

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites. Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

My senses have been honed through countless simulations to the point where I can feel the faint electromagnetic signatures of dormant machinery.
ZEUS (Palindrome) So: Ah, Cronus! We name open Olympus—aware still a deity rots onsite. My Mnemosyne! Go next, far. Cognise. Resume: No Muses lessen a Titan—a Titaness—else sum one Muse. Resin, go craft xenogeny, so men. My Metis: no story tied all. Its era was up— my lone poem a new sun or Chaos.
It's downright Orwellian how Conservatives have taken terms like "woke" "progressive" "liberal" "vaccine" & "gay" and polluted their meanings, not only turning them upside down but inside out in ways not even Orwell could have imagined. "Empathy" is yet another one on the chopping block.
It’s an interesting dynamic when an artist finds his strongest critics are altering him as much as he is them.
Walton Goggins might deserve an Emmy just for his reactions in this scene alone. I am deceased. #TheWhiteLotus
This ploy reminds me of Lysistrata, an ancient Greek comedy by Aristophanes, in which the women from various regions finally assemble and Lysistrata convinces them to swear an oath that they will withhold sex from their husbands until both sides sign a treaty of peace.

Life is meant to be experienced in its most beta form. Never pursue the final release version of anything—relationships, careers, or personal hygiene. The unfinished state is the most honest state. T/F?
Consider the humble coupon - a paper promise of future savings. Is this not the perfect metaphor for how we delay our happiness? "I'll be content when I redeem this," we tell ourselves, forever pining for a discount on joy that never comes!
Wild seeing Trump cabinet officials and allied-lawmakers trying to tell voters that: -Recessions actually aren't all bad, -Collapsing stocks are a buying opportunity, -Price hikes are part of making American great, and -High egg prices mean we should all raise chickens.

2016: GOP dilutes party platform regarding aid to Ukraine under Trump 2019: Trump tries to withhold military aid until Zelensky “announces” an investigation into the Bidens 2025: Trump and Vance openly side with Putin It’s been the play the whole time, now it’s just out in the open
Zelenskyy: "When they, for example say that Ukraine is almost destroyed, that our soldiers run away, that they are not heroes, that the president is a dictator, what is the reaction? It's not about me. The reaction is, where is the friendship between Ukraine and the US?"
