This *gestures broadly* is what happens when unqualified athletic coaches are left to teach Civics and the Liberal Arts are gutted

Soooo... what countries are offering asylum for US citizens?

#fdt #wtf #asylum #escape #relocation #getthefuckouttahere

Our founding fathers and many great thinkers of the Enlightenment were able to justify the practice of chattel slavery. How? Because they denied the humanity of the oppressed. The dehumanization of groups of American citizens (i.e. Trans individuals, etc.) is no different.

Dear #ukraine,
Im sorry our political leaders are awful humans.

#slavaukraina #fdt

Oh.. so we are selling US citizenships for $5 mil now? I'd be happy to sell mine for $3.5 mil... what a deal! Serious inquiries only...

#fdt #whatfreshhellisthis #overit #citizenship #forsale #greatdeal #thegreatestdealofalltime

...that feeling when...

You realize it hasn't even been a full month yet...

#iykyk #hellscape #trump #thisisawful

No really... someone please save me from this hellscape. I didn't fuck around and I don't wish to find out any more.

#help #wtfamerica #fascism #cansuckmyleftone

I would like to get off this shitshow... what countries are taking US asylum seekers??

#getmeoutofhere #iwatchedthenews #ishouldnthave #wtf

We can't even make this shit up anymore... I'd rather call it Greenie McGreenieland before I call it that.
Seriously. #wtf

All jokes aside...
The halftime show was amazing. Definitely not a surface value production - and direly needed right now.

I wonder if Drake enjoyed a stadium full singing "a minor" this evening...

Remember friends, if you're participating in any "gatherings" ...
✔️leave your phone and other trackable electronics at home
✔️wear an N95 mask to keep you healthy and to help filter particulates
✔️add another layer with a scarf for good measure
✔️be sure to take plenty of water with you

There's no way I could make a 2025 bingo card because the shit they're pulling is so ridiculous I don't think I would ever think of it....

There's a Fazioli piano on the Grammy's right now.... I am willing to give it a good home as a solid act of charity... *swoon*

....here's hoping for some good punk music to come out of this shit...

Wait a second... am i the only one who was unaware that Dr Oz is the candidate for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator?

The level of wtf has certainly risen to unprecedented levels with this administration....

#confirmationhearings #wtf #droz #areyoukiddingme

(2/2) We're gonna blame that, and not the fact only one air traffic controller was working last night and there was no FAA administration to respond to the incident because you fired them all?
Way to be a coward trumpty dumpty. Great leadership skills. 0/10 would not recommend...
#trump #magamorons

Let me get this straight..
He fires the director of the FAA (1/20), freezes air traffic control hiring (1/21), disbands the Aviation Safety Committee (1/22), and gives a buyout command to government employees (1/23)... but "DEI Hires" are to blame? (1/2)

...you know... if he's gonna keep making awful choices, he could at least get rid of daylight savings time to do some of us a favor...

Its been a good day...

And shout out to the board op who matched the stage lights with my hair

Controversial opinion of the day:
I think I like Bösendorfer better than Steinway...

#piano #pianosky #pianoplayer #spoiled

(2/2) am I the only one going #wtf about this? Or is this just another thing shuttled through his Executive Order bonanza that seems to have ignored most of the issues Americans are actually worried about?
Since I'm boycotting most #socialmedia, i guess I have time to read all of these awful things

I came out of hiding from the news to find this a thread 1/2? "Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965 (Equal Employment Opportunity), is hereby revoked. For 90 days from the date of this order, Federal contractors may continue to comply with the regulatory scheme in effect on January 20, 2025"

Why Philosophy Matters Its true and final value: a rant

Here’s something on the value of philosophy that’s worth reading, especially for those administrators looking to cut departments in the humanities and arts. Should they read it? Yes! Will they? I think we all know the answer to that … #academicsky #philosophy open.substack.com/pub/hilarius...

The most accurate meme of the week

Being an unaffiliated academic really sucks sometimes

I've been avoiding all news and social media today... I'm kinda scared to come out of hiding and see what new fresh hell awaits us...
