They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

PRO TIP: If you're going to lash out at reporters for questioning your stamina, don't fall asleep mid-rant.

For those following everything about the UNC coach please do not call it a β€œFOIA” request. FOIA is a federal law that you invoke when you want federal documents. When you seek docs from a state or local agency in NC, it is called a β€œpublic records” request.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

This is a massive, history making abuse of your power. It will define your legacy and one day you will come to regret punishing free speech and trying to destroy democracy.

I actually don’t know who’s running this country’s national security apparatus at the moment: the hapless and incompetent Tulsi Gabbard and Pete Hegseth or the right-wing conspiracy theorist and 9/11 truther Laura Loomer.

Little RFK is the most under qualified person to run a government agency. What an utter embarrassment.

The Tragically Hip: No Dress Rehearsal Director Mike Downie assembles The Tragically Hip for an emotional look at the origin, impact, and legacy of the band that defined Canada, to the world and to itself.

I highly recommend this documentary on Canada’s greatest rock-n-roll band, The Tragically Hip. Joy, sorrow, deep friendships and pride of country all wrapped up into a solid book of music.

Unbelievable. While his party does all-night votes to rip away health insurance from millions, Trump hawks his perfume. Bet it smells like this whole bill β€” garbage.

Today’s resignation by UVA president due to DOJ pressure should be understood amid yesterday’s creation by Southern states of their own higher education accreditation agency. Both seek to wield power against the independence of universities.
