One day soon we'll stop and ponder What on earth's this spell we're under? We "made the grade" and still we wonder Who the hell we are

A tweet from Joyce Carol Oates (@JoyceCarolOates) reads:
“So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates—scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the ‘most wealthy person in the world.’”
The tweet is written in white text on a black background, typical of X (Twitter).

This is the best takedown of Musk I’ve ever read. From a beloved author around my age no less, Joyce Carol Oates.

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

Any game that ends in a 0-0 draw results in both teams getting 0 pts and paying a fine that goes to charity.

Stop watching MSM. Your viewership funds them, and they've failed all of us at every step.

Stop watching MSM.

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more.

📌 A stunning mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face was unveiled in Roubaix, France, on July 3, 2025.

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

It's pretty obvious that a lot of US mainstream media either doesn't recognise authoritarianism or doesn't want to call it out. Either way, it's an excellent way to destroy trust in your institution.

The man on the left is defending his nation's capital. The man on the right plotted an attack on his.
