This is an excellent video essay:

Me, smirking at the bear devouring my flesh: So you actually can’t do that it’s illegal. Focus on economics

One of the tiniest little girls in our program walked up to me to say hi, and as I do everyday, I said “howdy” to her. She looked SCANDALIZED and said “THAT’s something only a boy says to another boy!!!! And I’m not a boy!! 😡”

Ah yes, the 2 genders: howdyable and nonhowdyable

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Seems he knows the difference, after all.

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past." - Jean-Paul Sartre

The question of whether Elon REALLY meant to throw up a Nazi salute is meaningless because Elon's entire persona is oriented around destroying the public's capacity for sense-making. He's always "just joking" or "triggering the libs." That's just how democracy-hating illiberals communicate.

Best thing our allies can remember: if you stand up to Trump you intimidate him and he will back down. If you crawl to him (like his sycophantic politicians) he will not respect you and will eventually throw you under the bus.

As this is "Day Two," I'm going to check to see if there are no longer taxes on tips, the border has been sealed, and the war in Ukraine is over. 👀

I used to like Greenday. Now I love them!

CNN reports that the January 6 criminals have been told they are invited to attend inaugural balls tonight. They are going to be released from the D.C. jail momentarily.

All are insurrectionists.

We are not a democracy anymore, folks. We do not have rule of law.

Elon did two Seig Heil Nazi salutes at the celebration of Trump’s inauguration today

SCARED me away.

Is it really worth getting the $475.91 in fake late and cleaning fees and getting a bad review, if tenants like me who pay THOUSANDS in rent over the course of a tenancy choose not to do business with you because of the review?

I wonder if landlords know, that their “money-saving practices” are a wager against their futures.

I toured a bunch of apartments today, and on each one, I checked the reviews afterwards. There were several places I was ready to sign on the dotted line about, but their reviews (1/?)

Bluesky’s short form post character limits are not Shminmictus’ friend

We have a right, nay, a responsibility, I’d say, to encounter new ideas and engage our brains and process those. If you’re too tired after a day of surviving capitalism and don’t have energy, say that. But for the love of all that’s holy, fxking stop conflating educational trauma with learning.

“You can’t make me think or process new ideas or you’re a fascist”

A thing I think about sometimes is the valorization of ignorance and the upholding of a “right to intellectual laziness”

Things I am not talking about: white supremacy’s impact on educational racism and professionalism cultural norms

Things I am talking about: (1/2)

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

Trump says he’ll save TT, and since thats absurd it might happen. TikTok video by Pat Loller

IDK i feel like Pat Loller might get me through this
