As an alumna of UVA, I am sad and angry. Jefferson (whom I don’t revere, but like most Hoos, I admire his passion for higher education and independence) must be rolling in his grave.

How did the plebeians survive the fall of Rome without memes?

I’m positive you all saw the video from Coeur d’Alene, where a woman was pulled out of her seat and arrested by men who claimed to be sheriff deputies, but were not in uniform.

I need the men to do something: When you see a woman being abused, step in. Step up. Get in the way. Put your body to use.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:

-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.

-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

Costco is definitely the place to shop. Pass it on.

Did anyone else see the straight up Trump propaganda commercial before the Chiefs/Bills game? Like a campaign ad, but just, “Trump is awesome. Yay America.” I haven’t seen anything about it. Was I dreaming (nightmare-ing)?

And in the face of increasing bird flu outbreaks. The egg prices may be the least of our concerns.

She was preaching her (Christian!) faith. If that’s causing division, it’s not on her.

This would be fragile masculinity, which is different from regular masculinity, which is ALSO DIFFERENT from toxic masculinity.

Church is boring… tell me you never go to church without telling me you never go to church.

“She brought her church into the World of Politics [sic]”…

I can’t.

This woman is doing the Lord’s work.

Panel 1: Mark Zuckerberg stands on the stage at a Meta all-hands meeting, wearing a little chain and a shirt that says "Cool Dude." "I think our company could use more Masculine Energy," he says into a mic. In the crowd, an employee raises their hand. "Excuse me, Mr. Zuckerberg," the person asks. Panel 2: The person stands up, asking, "By "Masculine Energy," do you mean a mature definition where men in power use their relative strength to protect and uplift those less privileged?" Panel 3: The person continues, "…or a more childish definition where men in power are free to be aggressive and harm others without being held accountable?" Panel 4: Zuck stands silent for a beat. Panel 5: "You're all fired," he says.

"Masculine Energy"

Just making sure that everyone is aware of this crab that NOAA scientists found

I think it would be very interesting! I haven’t read the books, but in the TV version of Interview with the Vampire the main character is Black, as is the young female vampire. Some race issues explored as it’s in Louisiana. Juxtaposition of his supernatural power vs powerless in the Deep South.

Where was Elon to prevent this wasteful government spending?!

IMO, the core aspects of vampirism are being undead, drinking blood, and passing as human. Sun thing more minor. But I think it could be very interesting to explore skin color and vampirism, since vampires have historically been a symbol of the “other”, and POC also persecuted for their otherness.

I love vampires & vampire lore! In original Dracula he could walk in the sun. In True Blood they had UV filtering windows. In Twilight they sparkle. In A Discovery of Witches the sun is a non issue. Slavic folklore vampires were white/pale, but I don’t think skin color changes in modern variations.

He was their tough guy after the assassination attempt, but he’s too frail for freezing temps?

Love that for them

The most maga people I know live in Michigan. Please don’t abandon us in the DMV!

Threatening violence while wearing cross earrings - a true bastion of maga Christianity.

Does the left-leaning 51st state (with a population greater than California) get electoral votes, senators, and congressional representatives?

Does Elon… not know the shape of an A?

Wasn’t Bush Sr crucified because of the whole “read my lips, no new taxes” campaign promise he broke, but Trump isn’t even in office yet, already walking back his promises, and no one cares.
