Joy to the world

I heard there was a Cohen song,

And all the Christians got it wrong,

But you don’t really get the meaning do ya?

‘Cause you see its about getting laid,

It’s sex, and love, and Jewish faith,

But all the gentiles heard was “hallelujah!”

Sucks that this is even a thing -- shithole country, indeed -- but also a good reminder to donate to WCK if possible. Alongside any of your local food banks.

I really wish I was not getting this very instructive education on Germany in the 1930s. I wrote a literal book American Hitler, but it was not this much on the nose.

"If something evil is popular, is it still evil?" is basically the defining social question of our time.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

On this Remembrance Day, please also remember the tens of thousands of children and families who survived the Mormon Indian Student Placement Program which only ended a quarter century ago. Nearly 1/12 of the entire Navajo Nation was impacted by this boarding-school-like program. #HistEd

Do not put your name on a website to register for a rally in this political climate. What the fuck's wrong with y'all. Are there any people of color that work at this org who might knock some sense into your peach colored heads.

Just gonna pretend the flags at half mast are for Robert Redford

More of this.

I’m so impressed by the survivors and I’m behind their efforts to get validation, conviction for those involved ! Enough is enough! #jeffreyEpstein

with 100% absolute sincerity, there may come a time when this is the thought that keeps you going until tomorrow, and also if we started wearing this on t-shirts I wouldn't say no

I was dismayed to hear the story of Rumpelstiltskin. I had no idea he was like that outside of work

"The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality."

BREAKING: Faith-led Moral Monday protesters — including Rev. William Barber — have once again been arrested while praying in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda, this time including several wheelchair users.

The group is decrying cuts to healthcare programs in the GOP budget bill.

Well done SLC!! 👏 👏👏

I’m crying, this is so funny

WEAPONIZED MANSPLAINING FOR ESPIONAGE ☠️☠️

if you know a place where somebody undocumented can be found, no you don't

I cannot express enough how dangerously fucked up this is for women. When a woman who speaks out at a town hall is then assaulted by security guards, the police claim to know nothing about the security team that did it, then it turns out it was them in plain clothes.

All she did was speak. /

I’m genuinely shocked at my capacity to still feel shock

Was telling my son how my salary this year FINALLY caught up with what the US government offered me in 1998 to design nuclear submarines & he was like, “ah, yes, the life of a teacher” & that led to me telling him the story about my Worst Job Interview Ever

WHO WANTS AN EMBARRASSING STORY BLUESKY

A Hospital Helped a Beloved Doctor’s Practice Flourish Even as It Suspected He Was Hurting Patients Hailed as a savior upon his arrival in Helena, Dr. Thomas C. Weiner became a favorite of patients and his hospital’s highest earner. As the myth surrounding the high-profile oncologist grew, so did th...

This story begins with a patient learning he'd endured a decade of dangerous treatments for stage 4 lung cancer that his oncologist never confirmed was actually present.

It only gets more outrageous (and enraging) from there.

To quote Terry Pratchett:

"Evil begins when you begin to treat people as things."

Policing cannot do what copaganda claims it does when the incentives are for treating people as things.

Too much focus on what Hogwarts house people would be sorted into and not enough focus on which Discworld witch you'd like to grow up to be imho

‘I have done nothing wrong’: Remembering the LDS teen who stood up to Hitler, and lost his life for doing so Helmut Hubener opposed Hitler, based on his Mormonism, and was the youngest political dissident executed in Nazi Germany.

Helmuth Hübener became a political dissident in Hitler’s Germany by reading banned books and listening to censored broadcasts.
Hübener was executed for his efforts to expose the dishonesty and dangers of the Nazis — and was excommunicated by the LDS Church.

New music!! I recorded a track with The Roots for Jimmy Fallon’s “Holiday Seasoning” album which just dropped TODAY. The song’s called “New Year’s Eve Polka (5-4-3-2-1)” and it’s available right now everywhere that music is streamed or sold!
