Trump: "Portland is burning to the ground. You have agitators, insurrectionists... The governor, the mayor, the politicians are petrified for their lives."*

*Not a single word of this is true.

I saw Blazing Saddles when it first came out in the UK. The one and only time I've literally seen a cinema full of people - not one or two, everyone - literally fall out of their seats laughing.

Whatever’s in the Epstein files about Trump is so bad that he called them a hoax, accused Obama of treason, shut down the Epstein investigation, recessed Congress to prevent a vote on releasing the files, and rushed his criminal attorney to prison to offer Epstein’s accomplice an immunity deal

I'll go old-skool with 2f books that really flipped some switches in my head back in the day.

1) A bit academically dry but hey, I got through it aged 21: R.H. Tawney - Religion and the Rise of Capitalism

2) A very readable novel - Robert Tressell's Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists.

Dreadful tragedy.

So sad. Family must be in bits 😥

hey remember when a rich ceo died then when they caught the suspect they made a circus of it like they found osama bin laden and charged him with terrorism but less than weeks ago two democrat lawmakers and their spouses were shot as literal assassination to shift control and everyone already forgot

I came home and opened the news.

russia launched a missile attack on the city of Dnipro and the surrounding region, striking civilian infrastructure and a passenger train.

At least eleven people were killed, and more than 100 were wounded.

I want the world to know.

I am 27 and a Republican president of questionable legitimacy has begun an illegal war in the Middle East.

I am 50 and a Republican president of questionable legitimacy has begun an illegal war in the Middle East.

🧵Not getting nearly enough attention. If confirmed true it should be front page news ⬇️

Musk is a cheapskate

The storage fuel tanks are *next to the launchpad*, along with a future engine

I can't begin to describe how incompetent this is

Remember this when one of his ex staff waxes lyrical about Musk's genius

Me too. Just been seeing all the ones in the little towns. Something kind of warm and nice about that. Good Vibrations indeed.

“Deporting” someone is sending them back to their country where they are free to live as citizens.

What that asshole is doing is NOT deportation.

It’s kidnapping and human trafficking. It’s illegally sending people to USA-funded off shore concentration camps.

No filters. No trending sound.

The reality 👇

I'm at the point where I know that truth and kindness are my values and also know that it would be breaking news if republicans or conservatives anywhere exhibited either.

I'm thinking fund managers might be alarmed that the market manipulation is just too blatant on this occasion. Far better to have the gen pop think it's an aberration based on madness of some stripe rather than having people clue on to how much of it goes on.

Unbearable grief. Such wickedness.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

For Americans who didn’t get the joy of living through the Truss/Kwarteng budget, this is the point where the government starts to call the stock market left-wing and/or woke.

not to be too confucian about things but how people think about things is shaped by perceptions of elite behavior and if the Great and the Good all act like nothing matters beyond immediate gratification of base resentments and the voters are never wrong people are going to start acting like it

the trans backlash has gotten so bad that now they're even replacing the Trans-Pacific Partnership with a Cis-Pacific Partnership
