I love paying TurboTax a few hundred bucks every year to figure out how much money I owe the government, which the government already knows, but won't tell me because TurboTax pays legislators to keep the government from telling me. 😻

Finished Percival Everett’s novel James last night. Truly an incredible work of literature and a fast read. It’s a spin off of Huck Finn from the slave Jim’s perspective. I can’t stop thinking about it at my desk this morning at work. Highly recommend! #fiction #americanliterature #PercivalEverett

PROP - PR Over Policy.

Don't confuse them.

He is flooding the zone. He knows that media will cover everything he does. Getting people upset. Which helps give him more coverage of the upset people. All just talking about him.

Dems need to be strategic.

Hero.

I put a little harness leash on my cat and she literally froze and wouldn’t move 😭 this is the dream !!!

She is shook 👀

Baby’s first snow day!!! I didn’t get one of these when I lived in Chicago and that weather was from the devil himself year round

Heads up: Wintry conditions may get started a little bit sooner than first thought. Expect things to get started between 2-5PM; the original thinking was that it would be closer to 5PM and beyond before a changeover to sleet/snow.

The richest man on Earth is an unabashed Nazi.

Not good, Bob!

How cool that I was captivated by a huge PR stunt - another 2025 classic!!!!!!!

Avoided all content regarding the inauguration yesterday to give myself a break from this circus and as soon as I opened the phone it’s Elon doing the Nazi salute. This is already a nightmare, dude. Gonna be a long 4 years.

Such a drag

Western North Carolina to receive $1.65B in federal disaster grants • NC Newsline Gov. Josh Stein and HUD Secretary Adrianne Todman announced western NC will receive two CDBG-DR awards totaling $1.65 billion

ncnewsline.com/2025/01/08/w...

These same people posting fake clickbait AI generated images and claiming that North Carolina was “forgotten” about….?! Like what the actual fuck is the matter with you?

Seeing people who claim to be Christians talk shit about CA politics and insinuating that this disaster is somehow deserved is sending me into a rage.

A street is orange from flames and you can see the high winds in the palm trees. Sparks fly down the street

A fire truck is engulfed in parks and flames are seen on the hill. The entire photo is red and orange from the fire

A fireman with a hose runs across the front of a house in flames in the background

The inside of a house is a ball of flames. The only visible thing inside is a burning Christmas tree

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.

These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

Seeing the footage of #LAfire is so much harder after moving away. And not only that, but the fact that these fire(s) are significantly worse than any other in recent memory or maybe ever. We are used to the mountains being on fire etc. but never dense communities like this wiped out 💔

L.A. Mayor Karen Bass Should Have Canceled Africa Trip Amid Fires, Residents Say Some residents said Mayor Karen Bass should have canceled her trip to Ghana when weather warnings in Los Angeles grew increasingly dire.

When a series of dangerous fires broke out on Tuesday in the Los Angeles area, Mayor Karen Bass was on the other side of the globe, part of a delegation sent by President Biden to Ghana for the inauguration of its new president. Her absence has drawn criticism from some Los Angeles residents.

When a liberal area suffers a climate change disaster, Republicans say “God is punishing them.”

When a conservative area suffers a climate change disaster, Republicans say “Democrats control weather machines.”

Must be hard going through life as a full-blown idiot.

Class.

Scariest thing I’ve read on this app so far 🙃

2015 turns 10.

First thing I saw when I woke up today. First day of the new year and already a domestic tragedy

Absolutely crawling to the end of this work day 🥱 ready to go home and get in my PJs and eat a charcuterie dinner for NYE like an ADULT.

Silently observing the drama and comment threads of my local neighborhood Facebook page is becoming the majority of my screen time 🍿
