Just lying in bed remembering when I used to teach English in Japan right after college.

I started thinking about who I was back then vs. now, and it occurred to me: I'm old enough to be that guy's dad.

TEN MONTHS IN:

The national debt is higher.

The trade deficit is wider.

The inflation rate has worsened.

The unemployment rate is up.

Yeah, the unhinged Piggy-in-Chief is literally calling for Democrats to be executed, but also, let's not breeze past the fact that he's reposting an account with an Iron Cross for its profile pic. A clear symbol of white nationalist hate. In broad daylight. βŒπŸ‘‘

Look at AOC hearing some news for the first time, taking the information in, and making a coherent, meaningful comment that sounds like it could be part of a damn fine speech.

This is what actual intelligence looks like. And some of the dumbest sacks of crap alive have the gall to call her stupid.

When Trump was asked about the release of the Epstein files, he called one reporter "piggy" and said another was "being insubordinate."

When Trump saw a video calling on the military to follow the constitution, he called for the death of the Democrats who made the video.

He's a tyrant.

Let's just pause a moment at that first blatantly false claim that rent is too high because of immigrants. 🀨

We know very well why rent is too high. It's the landlords, obviously. Everything's been getting bought up by corporations, and they'll charge exactly what they can get away with.

This is the way. Referring to Trump as "Piggy" from here on out. I love how it fits him so well that you don't even need to explain the nickname.

The only way to for the public to see complete Epstein files is to leak it. Do it. Now. Anything else is complicit.

Trump is such a low-IQ narcissist that he's incapable of taking anyone else's perspective.

He thinks we're all stumbling around in a dementia-ridden fog just like him so we won't remember that he's spent all year BLOCKING the Epstein files.

He's seriously trying to pretend that never happened. πŸ–•πŸŠ

The question is not β€œWas Trump mentioned in the Epstein files?”

The question is β€œWas Trump mentioned in the Epstein files a thousand times?”

And the answer to both questions was an emphatic β€œyes.”

True. And for all the modern insistence that the Bible forbids homosexuality, there's no mention of that either. There's nothing against slavery, though it is mentioned matter-of-factly, so slavery's apparently fine with God.

Almost as if this ancient set of rules has little to no societal value. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I saw this little guy outside my window molting and eating its skin. You can't really tell how small it is here, but it's a baby anole lizard.

She's stating an indisputable fact here. She's not saying that Mohammed bin Salman orchestrated the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, just that this was the conclusion of US intelligence (under Trump, mind you!).

Thus is what journalism looks like.

And Trump is what narcissistic abuse looks like. βŒπŸ‘‘

What a day to be a web developer! This morning, I was blocked by a global Cloudflare outage, and now I'm blocked by a GitHub outage.

It kind of feels like everything is falling apart, like society has been hijacked by a gang of amoral billionaires bent on world domination at any cost.

There's a reason nobody laughed here, and it's that this "joke" makes no sense. It follows the form of a really cliche joke, but the punchline falls flat because there's no tension to resolve from the first statement.

Folks like Mamdani ARE the future of the Democratic Party, if there is to be one.

You really have to include that "/s" here on the internet. MAGA chuds are saying this kind of thing unironically.

And I guess so are douchebags like Bill Maher?

Ah, cool, just checked that out. I came up with the name "Dizzydance" on the pattern of Mirrormaze and Somniscope, my other collaborative dreampunk books.

I ask because that's an unusual turn of phrase and I happen to be involved with a few other authors at the moment to collaborate on a book called "Dizzydance." 😯

Some men would rather take down Cloudflare than release the Epstein files. πŸ™„

Among other things, all major AI servcies are not working due to the Cloudflare outage

If that new coworker who's weirdly cheerful and uses a lot of emojis, isn't responding to you, maybe that's why

The one thing Donald Trump knows about farmers is that they love dirt. It's the most beautiful thing they've ever seen, dirt. They don't know how to do anything else but dirt, but that's how they like it! Dirt is their favorite thing.
