He may have been talking about himself and Elon.

I didn’t know this was happening. I have fond memories of riding the 21 from uptown to Mac-Groveland and back. It covered all of humanity.

We're not done yet | 18F

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

"If the GOP could pull Trump’s dick out of their mouths long enough for the oxygen to return to their brains, they might see how batshit crazy it is to run a govt like this... But that would require a spine and these Republicans have the collective courage of a baby deer caught in a 6-lane highway."

Of course β€œjustice” must be removed as a topic! It’s not needed. This is why he pardoned the treasonous rioters.

Minister: Have mercy.

Man baby: She’s terrible!

Man baby’s minion: She should be deported!

Welcome to America.

That’s ok. When you have something of value to say, share or ask, you can and will. Too many people on social media have a lot to say, especially as if they’re an authority on something and we’re all waiting to hear it.

Funny how being called an insurrectionist doesn’t raise his ire.

Meta’s move effectively puts an end to its longstanding fact-checking program. The social networking giant will stop using third-party fact checkers and instead rely on users to add notes to posts. It is likely to please President-elect Trump and his conservative allies.

It’s the return of Alternative Facts. The world of misinformation is going grow exponentially. Why are these companies bending so quickly to Trump?

The cable references Lee Henry Oswald. Pseudonym?

I’m liking StoryGraph. Just switched from GR and appreciate te recommendation function too, although that just adds to the TBR list!

As usual, little Donny plans to "win" by hurting everyone else. What a petty, little man he is.

But he’s so good at kissing Trump’s ass. What will he do now?

This is one of my childhood faves. I checked it out of the library sooooo many times. Later I bought a used copy. Included a reading from it at my wedding. Brilliantly fun stuff.

I had to zoom in to figure out what I was seeing. I thought pigs finally flew.

Vigilante justice doesn’t make a hero. A hero would be the one who solves the social injustice that motivated the vigilante.

And was always pronounced with a D. When, oh when, will the term come back?! 2025 might be the year!

I’m not a fan of the glorification of murder. I get the outrage and anger at the healthcare industry (I’ve had my own issues) but murder is murder. I’m dumbfounded by the free Luigi b.s. Where has our society gone? We’ve elected a felon, let’s lower all the bars?

Ha! Oh, a slightly obscure art reference from decades ago…makes me feel both smart for knowing the source and old at the same time. Merry Xmas, Mr. Serrano, wherever you are.
