Decorum and professionalism as concepts are dumb on many levels but there is something particularly jarring about seeing someone at the top of our government partying like a frat boy while on the job. He’s 45 (????) - the hangover alone is a fireable offense.

Hi I have no middle name and people find that quite shocking

NOT THE ONE I WAS WORRIED DIED TODAY WINNING WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY EMOOOOOTIIIONS OLYMPICS?!?

I’ve been doing evening watches of Olympics recaps which means that it’s been two nights in a row of being stressed out by women’s halfpipe. STOP FALLING DOWN YOU MAKE ME NERVOUS.

Something something protesting too much

Thank you to @importantmeagan.bsky.social for reminding me about the Time Warp, turns out it changes you from grumpy to thrilled in mere moments

Things I will never forget:
- Bad Bunny's halftime performance
- The whiplash from Bad Bunny's halftime performance ending to the world's dumbest, most boring sport

Let’s all take a minute and remember when Lemonade came out

It’s a Christmas miracle!

This man, so help me…

People need to learn how to take a win and then go look for another win! The difference between having zero leverage and having some leverage is big.

every music-based video going up in the last couple days have fully leveled me

Medical staff in scrubs stand silently in two lines along a hospital hallway, heads bowed in respect. One person covers their face in grief. The corridor sign reads "Intensive Care Unit." Yellow lights line the floor.

If you work for ICE, most people actually do despise you.

Abortion + ICE — Abortion Mobilization Project ICE is an existential threat to all of us. We have to fight back.

Made a resource page today. Abolish ICE; defund the police; abortion forever. www.abortionmob.org/learn-more/a...

I’m also resisting saying “I told you so” even though this summer he sat in my kitchen and I told him so

Relatedly this thread is where I finally articulated something I’ve been feeling:
I’m overwhelmed by the simultaneous goodness and badness of people

You know it’s bad when the bros from rural VA text thread starts going off about brown shirts

Oh hell yeah I love this for him

maybe controversial but I’m on team “there are actually enough Competents in the room now to pull off large-scale strategy in part because they don’t care about blowback because they think they can steamroll through it [and to some extent have to date]”

I have read some non-statements in my time but this is top notch vaguery.

They say everyone should have guns. And that it’s our right to have them. And scream and fight for the right to carry them. Then the moment they shoot you as you lie unarmed on the ground with five men in your back, they say it’s because you carried a gun.

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

In these dark times pls remember

Would love to know what non-rando links he clicks

My personal favorite moment in the piece is the pearl-clutching that people would suggest they’re connected!!!!

There’s a DC one coming up too. We might get downright GOTV in here.

All I keep thinking about is the snowstorm in Texas that stranded abortion seekers in hotels for days on end, unable to get home. I’m sure there were dozens, if not hundreds more I didn’t know about. It’s about to happen again but more. Climate justice is reproductive justice.

of all the things, how some random european thinks about me being from the US is not on the list of things keeping me up at night
