Hee!

the fecklessness of establishment Dems comes from the fact that they agree with much of what Trump is doing.

they want aggressive immigration enforcement. they want to blow shit up in Iran.

for them, Trump is a sin eater who's brashly doing what they've been trying to do politely for a generation

If you were at work today and you got a phone call from your wife that France just blew up your kid's school, your lifelong opinion of France is probably not going to be anything other than "Death to France"

I keep reading this and keep laughing. It’s so good I want it to be true. Do Ben & Jerry factor in at all?

#NirvanaInFire In other news: Deputy Commander Chi kicking Xia Jiang in the head TWICE in this scene will never not be funny to me.

#NirvanaInFire And boy did he learn it. Prince Jing is working through abt 50-11 different emotions & thoughts in this scene — and he still keeps his shit together enough to effectively team up w/MCS to dismantle Xia Jiang’s arguments. As I’ve said before: put some respect on Xiao Jingyan’s name.

#NirvanaInFire This scene is also why it’s so interesting that at the beginning of the series everyone (probably rightly at the time) insists he’s ill-suited to politics — because none of them (except for MCS) quite get that governance is a skill and discipline that has to be learned.

#NirvanaInFire Xia Jiang is actively trying to get him & MCS killed in this scene and he fully understands the dangers of his father’s suspicious nature. He doesn’t have the luxury of nearly blowing up MCS’ spot the way Nihuang, Meng-dage, and his own mother all did once they knew.

#NirvanaInFire Some of it is shock and some of it is disbelief (b/c again — baby boy is more of a realistic than anyone ever wants to admit) but he plays out all the clues in his head and he knows it’s true. But.

#NirvanaInFire This scene is on right now (shut up, i am sick) and I will go to my grave on the argument that for the person everyone thought it was SO important to gaslight about this, Prince Jing is the only one who acts with any sense after learning MCS = LS and UNDER THE WORST CIRCUMSTANCES.

At the time, one of my friends said it was because the writers knew that if Sharon was alive, there was no way they could believably have any of the team extrajudicially kill Phillip Stroh.

Oooh, very cool. ❤️

Y’all, I still can’t believe Major Crimes KILLED OFF SHARON. Like, that episode is on right now as I’m sick at home and I’m STILL pissed about!

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

Serious question: do the Trust and Safety teams of any company ever meaningfully think about safety or is that word just there because the rhythm is catchy?

I loved how IRRITATED he was!!!

are you an ally? then give TCP the money to help!

there’s so many “what if’s” in his story, but the one that is so horrific and so common is that none of this would have happened if someone hadn’t called the cops on him for being lost

The sheer incompetency of the NYPD over this is embarrassing. Do you have any idea what a PR GOLDMINE cops having fun at a snowball fight would’ve been?!

Just so we're all on the same page

There's no real fraud issues like the GOP is talking about.

This is their typical...WHY WOULD WE GIVE A HUNGRY CHILD FOOD WHEN ONE SINGLE CHILD MIGHT NOT ACTUALLY NEED IT AND INSTEAD HAS LAZY PARENTS

I mean, it's nonsense.

And feeding all the kids is a solution

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

This is so unbelievably cruel. They knew who his family was! They could have taken him to them or called them to come get him.

Great 🧵 that explains a lot about many in the contemporary media class and their reflexive tendency to carry water for some of the most awful people we know.

The BBC & BAFTAs failed Davidson, Lindo, Jordan and the Tourette’s community, and it’s looking increasingly like they did so *on purpose.*

Editing on a tight deadline can involve things getting missed, so extra care had to be taken that if any of Davidson’s verbal tics *were* missed, they were not decontextualized for the audience watching at home and abroad.
