@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

Why aren’t you political like this on Threads? No shots fired. Just curious.

I’m not political (or not very) on Instagram. Is it that? Different spaces, different faces?

I literally physically ran away and jumped a fence to get away from the person who recommended Atlas Shrugged to me in college.

Screenshot of text of poem Island by Langston Hughesβ€”

Wave of sorrow,
Do not drown me now:
 
I see the island
Still ahead somehow.
 
I see the island
And its sands are fair:
 
Wave of sorrow,
Take me there.

In a Fox News interview, Trump picked the Kansas City Chiefs to beat the Philadelphia Eagles. Before the start of the third quarter, Trump had already left the Super Bowl stadium, with the Chiefs trailing by 24 points. The Eagles went on to demolish the Chiefs by 40-22.

Trump was wrong yet again.

TO THE YOUNG WHO WANT TO DIE
Sit down. Inhale. Exhale.
The gun will wait. The lake will wait.
The tall gall in the small seductive vial will wait will wait:
will wait a week: will wait through April.
You do not have to die this certain day.
Death will abide, will pamper your postponement.
I assure you death will wait. Death has a lot of time. Death can
attend to you tomorrow. Or next week. Death is just down the street; is most obliging neighbor; can meet you any moment.
You need not die today.
Stay here - through pout or pain or peskyness.
Stay here. See what the news is going to be tomorrow.
Graves grow no green that you can use.
Remember, green's your color. You are Spring.

This one stayed with me as well. I was also a wild idiot who went on crazy adventures from 18 until I was about 26. I backpacked around the Middle East by myself. Then I met a boy who loved extreme sports. We did some really stupid things in the Rockies. Grateful I survived. πŸ₯Ί

European Federation of Journalists to stop posting content on X The EFJ represents over 295,000 journalists in 44 countries.

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"

β€œDon’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Anyone else paying attention to how Marine Le Pen is currently trying to Donald Trump France? Also, are we using Donald Trump as a verb yet for effing government up ostensibly for ze people but really for ze billionaires?

Republicans want to tell you what books you can read, what bathroom you can use, what words you can say, what history you can learn, what you can or can’t do with your own body and what gender you are… but tell me more about how the Dems are β€œcoming for your freedoms”.

Idiots.

My son played your Star Wars gazing at the moons of Tatooine song the day after the election and it really helped me that day. It was his recital song this weekend. So many people came up to us and said something similar. 🫢

Just absorbing the fact that the first order of business in the new QAnon-inflected MAGA Republican era is to demand that Congress bury its report on sex trafficking and drug allegations against a Republican member of Congress who they're trying to promote to higher office.
