The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents.

What the fuck are we doing here?

"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?" "Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

I get that tariffs will likely increase the cost, but there are people that will look at the screenshot and share it as fact/currently happening. Transparency and accuracy is important. If something is a meme depicting a possibility it should be labeled as such.

Yeah. There is a possibility that the tariffs will cause that increase in the cost, but it isn’t confirmed or currently happening as far as I can tell.

Not to be that person but

You just know the name of the restaurant is something like:

When people break the law, and their actions are righteous and appropriate, we should applaud them. When people abide by or enforce the law, and their actions are repugnant, we should condemn them. We should never pretend the law is a moral dividing line.

Holy internalized misogyny 🫠

Today my daughter’s 5th grade teacher asked what two colors make blue and when my daughter said “none because blue is a primary color” the teacher told her she was wrong and that yellow and green make blue.

I started a new play through of The Outer Worlds and man, I’ve been comparing a lot of it to today’s political climate and society.

Some of y’all really voted for the Board thinking you’ll be living on Byzantium but you’re just going to end up as company property canning Saltuna in Edgewater.

They also recognized Shigeru Miyamoto (creator of Mario) and correctly identified his job.

Finally, all of the girls also recognized and correctly named Elon Musk, but none of them could figure out what his job was.

I found that really interesting.

These girls all know who Kamala is and admire her. This makes me both happy and sad. Happy because they look up to a strong female role model, sad because they have to endure the current administration instead.

I know some of these girls come from MAGA families too.

At yesterday’s Girl Scout meeting the troop learned about stereotypes through an activity that involved placing photos of people (both famous & local) with the jobs the girls thought they had. One girl spotted Kamala Harris, knew who she was, & excitedly asked if she could keep the photo.

I love living in a state where children learn accurate history.

My daughter’s friend wants to perform “Pink Pony Club” at her school talent show, but her mother wont let her because “that song is about gay strippers.”

Just saying.

I think it’s wild that my kid who is learning about Hitler & WW2 in school right now can see the parallels to what’s happening today, but grown ass adults cannot.

Way to go!! My daughter had a blast playing Undertale and she is definitely way better at video games than me now 😂😭

A new kitten has joined our house!

Meet Trevor “Treffy” Belmont ❤️

He looks like the human version of Scar from the Lion King to me and he walks like he has a stick up his ass 😂🫠

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Screenshot of a high school history question with multiple choice answers. The question reads: “What was the cause of the Civil War? (1 point)”. The answer options are: A) Argument about Fortnight between Lincoln and Davis; B) canal funding in the deep South; C) taxes on cotton; D) Slavery. The last option, Slavery, is highlighted as the chosen answer.

Computer screenshot of a Zoom call school lesson with closed caption on. The screen says “Exit Ticket Question 4” and is the same question and answers from the other screenshot on this post. The closed caption of what the teacher is saying reads “Everyone knows Lincoln and Davis didn’t play Fortnite. They were Roblox fans.”

My daughter’s history teacher is fucking hilarious.
