I like Camus, for pretty much the same reasons you stated, but mine would have to be Diogenes, for his complete and extreme embrace of Cynicism’s non-conformity to societal norms and expectations. He told Alexander the Great to move so he’d stop blocking the sun, the stones he had to do that.

The “fucking around” had occurred and the “finding out” is now afoot.

This is probably the most accurate take.

I’m not so sure we won’t, as Trump would and always has wanted to expand into the ME (just as Netanyahu is a land grabber), but we do need to understand that the tactic of an authoritarian regime is to flood us and hope we get distracted.

We have to learn to juggle it all.

Today in LA.
I ❤️ my town.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

To the bus driver that told ICE that they could not enter his bus and to “Gargle my balls” I think it’s our first rally cry. History had “don’t tread on me”
We get this.

There’s a simple solution to this dilemma. DeepSeek can be directly installed onto your personal device so all your data stays localized to your personal device. There’s free tutorial videos floating out on the internet for anyone who needs support installing it, just Google it.

Don’t be disoriented by the chaos. Pick what you care most about and focus there.

This is why I could never be a Chiefs fan, that AND the organization itself does nothing to change it. If any of my favorite teams started doing/allowing some racist sh*t, I’d stop supporting them immediately. My values are bigger than the bread and circuses that are meant to keep us pacified.

If Musk is a “prick AND a cunt”, then it should be really easy for him to go fuck himself.

There is a 0% chance that this wasn’t a consciously calculated gesture, and there are zero explanations that excuse it. None.

Because they’re Black, they must be looting? This isn’t an honest mistake.

Spread truth, not lies: These folks weren’t looters. This footage is from KTLA, where the homeowner explained that her brothers & friends were helping her move belongings out of her burned house.

Happy 2025 🥳🎉🥂🍾🎊🍻

Please tell your loved ones that if they are going to walk at night, to wear something reflective, or at least one visible article of clothing that isn’t a dark color. Especially if they are walking near traffic, and in a dimly lit area, and if the weather is impacting visibility.

My daughter gave birth a YEAR AGO and has insurance and is STILL paying off medical bills. She said it's because of her heart trauma involved during birth. Then both were in icu/nicu.

But STILL!!

They had health insurance. WTH?

They talking about withholding the “federal resources” that are majority funded by Democratic run states? Maybe Blue states should unilaterally stop subsidizing Red states then.

I really enjoyed reading this. I’m going to have to look up more of Aelred of Rievaulx’s works.

I don’t think there exists a better response to Mace’s performative act than this.

A tweet from Rep. Nancy Mace featuring a photo of her smiling in a soft pink dress captioned "Wore pink tonight, to celebrate my real womanhood"

"Womanhood is biological as emphasized by my performance of it"

I wonder how many people are going to thank Bluesky & @jay.bsky.team this Thursday. Cause getting a fresh, new, de-centralized, anti-Musk, anti-Zuck, do-over, chance again at social media connections has been forking AMAZING.

Shit like this is why I won’t follow any account and/or person associated with MSM Legacy media.

One thing we should all be conscious of here on Bluesky is that trans people were a key part of keeping this site alive when everyone else was afraid to lose clout. They are a big reason we have an alternative to Elon.

Yet another reason to leave Twitter and embrace Bluesky (and other decentralized social media). BTW, Zuckerberg runs his platforms the same way.

Are... tortillas too *spicy* for you, Canada?

Accurate af.
