Listen. If you didn't want to be seen as the Twitter escape pod, you shouldn't have deliberately fostered a community of people so united by their contempt for arbitrary authority and love of absolute free speech that they were willing to abandon a platform they'd been using for 15 years

1. BREAKING

Judge Immergut, who was nominated by President Trump, has just granted a request by Oregon and California to block the deployment of National Guard troops from Texas and California to Portland.

“Become a courts reporter,” they said.

“You’ll get weekends off,” they said.

“Because there won’t be any hearings on the weekend,” they said.

Was staring out the window during my workout, the moon was casting light on the lake… and then there were hovering helicopters

Like it’s so funny that this week the main takeaway from Bad Bunny’s politics has been that he is anti-ICE and “woke” while commentators pointedly ignore his anti-colonial and pro-independence views. He has been quite explicit about that, my friends!

“Bad Bunny is more American than the first lady!” “Here’s what Chuck Schumer can learn from Bad Bunny!” “Puerto Rico is the U.S!”

My kingdom for liberals to stop using Puerto Ricans as a rhetorical device and actually engage with the uncomfortable fact that we are colonized subjects.

Mamdani was 9 years old on 9/11. This is just gutter racism from Debra Messing.

really should get around to writing my take that "AI uprising/robot uprising" fiction is just barely sublimated fear of domestic slave revolt

So just straight-up lying.

we lost a queen 👑

Ah!

Sen Wyden of OREGON is investigating Epstein's financials and is petitioning for release of relevant material aka "the files."

😊🙌🏾

Yes, I’m aware of that. Most Black intellectuals are. 😊🙏🏾

A few years back my grandmother passed away. She was 93. She was buried next to her younger sister who died about 60 years ago, from a back alley abortion. I just stood there in the windswept cold in this barren and isolated graveyard, contemplating her very young death and short life.

I avoid ChatGPT like the plague.

Anybody have a feeling that Portland plus Chicago plus a few more weeks of this shutdown *might* turn the tide?*

*I don’t dare to hope.

Well, see, I’m 58. So I know next to nothing about ChatGPT. I can barely save documents & whatnot. I just be typing away on my keyboards of my phone or laptop w/o consulting anybody but my muse.

Now, come to find out, I could be a Creative Writer Villain because of my love of em dashes.

I’m still confused as to how so many people in this country vote for POTUS based on vibes instead of using their actual critical thinking skills to deduce that we could be here if they didn’t vote or voted based on said vibes.

Even the *chance* that we would be here decided my vote.

I had no idea this this week that Bad Bunny was controversial. Or “controversial”.

There’s not a minute of our lives should stretch
Without some pleasure now. What sport tonight?

I had in AirPods and a kindle in front of me. And the guy at the bar simply refused to take that as a sign to leave me alone. He actually resorted to waving his hands in front of my face. More than once. This is not a well-adjusted personality.

Look nobody ever had autism before we were aware of and capable of diagnosing autism, you merely had a second son who was “touched” and he joined the monastery where he was known for communing with the birds.

Still trying to figure out how Portland, Oregon became this supposed hotbed of violence that warranted military occupation.

Like, PORTLAND.

Shades of slave coffles. #historyrhymes

It only took 256 days to reach the “zip tying little kids at 2am on the street” stage of this administration.

I was accused on Instagram of using ChatGPT because of my addiction to em dashes & now I’m very, very sad.

i think i am immune to chatgpt psychosis because on top of having some basic reasoning skills and not being lonely enough that i would look to a magic 8 ball for friendship, i can't be suckered into reading a bunch of text about how i'm a god genius because i only skim most text

if i said "my neighbor saw me making books on my front porch and told me i'm wasting time because fox news says no one reads books anymore" you'd think i was making it up right. like that just sounds too strawman-y to be real right
