My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

They've spent weeks carefully building this Charlie Kirk hagiography and then Trump comes blundering in and knocks it down in seconds.

Isaiah 10 | NIV
'Woe to those who make unjust
laws,
to those who issue oppressive
decrees,
2 to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people,
making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless.
3 What will you do on the day of reckoning,
when disaster comes from afar?
To whom will you run for help?
Where will you leave your riches?
4 Nothing will remain but to cringe among the captives
or fall among the slain.

The Fourth of July is a great day to resist tyranny.

My protest sign today is going to draw on Isaiah 10:1: “Woe to those who make unjust laws.”

It’s too much for a sign, but the whole thing is an indictment of the current administration’s priorities.

Donald Trump has a history of using the term "low IQ" to insult various individuals, particularly women and political opponents. Here are some notable instances:
ABC News

Jasmine Crockett
In April 2025, Trump referred to Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) as a "low IQ person" during an interview on NBC's Meet the Press. This comment followed Crockett's criticism of Texas Governor Greg Abbott, whom she nicknamed "Governor Hot Wheels" . In response, Crockett appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and challenged Trump to take a public IQ test against her .

Kamala Harris
Trump has repeatedly targeted Vice President Kamala Harris with similar insults. During a rally in Milwaukee in November 2024, he called her a "low-IQ person" while criticizing her competence . He reiterated this insult at a campaign event in Raleigh, North Carolina, in October 2024 .
The Guardian
YouTube

Maxine Waters
In 2018, Trump labeled Representative Maxine Waters (D-California) as "an extraordinarily low IQ person" after she called for public confrontations with Trump administration officials .
ABC News

Mika Brzezinski
Trump also targeted MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski in 2017, referring to her as "low I.Q. Crazy Mika" in a tweet. He further insulted her by claiming she was "bleeding badly from a face-lift" during a visit to Mar-a-Lago .

These instances reflect a pattern in Trump's rhetoric, where he uses derogatory terms to belittle critics and opponents, often focusing on their intelligence or appearance.

I listened to President Trump call Rep. Jasmine Crockett a "low IQ individual" and I realized I had heard that before, so put the question to ChatGPT.

Q: “Everyone gets due process. Right?”

TRUMP: “They get a process where we have to get them out.”

This President yet again shows he has zero concern for the constitution. 🇺🇸

The EPA is firing employees focused on children’s health simply because their job descriptions include DEI. These 10 regional children’s health coordinators have worked closely with schools and local institutions to prevent and address environmental hazards that put kids at risk.

It's died down a bit at this point, but wow, early February on social media sure was full of folks saying that they don't think Black folks should get a month to celebrate and talk about their history. 🤔

Popular meme format, grandma labeled with "bluesky's public launch was one year ago today." Younger person helping her labeled with "sure grandma let's get you to bed."

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been!

with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.

Normalizing spelling out what people actually mean when they cite DEI rather than letting them hide behind the safe cover of a euphemism that's been sapped of meaning

Yost is doing nothing here but orange-nosing here.

Costco is a private company, breaking no laws, doing what they want. Yost is just trying to curry favor from 47 in order to get an endorsement for his gubernatorial campaign.

Tweet by Chris D. Jackson criticizing nepotism in politics, mentioning Buckley Carlson, son of Tucker Carlson, joining Vice President J.D. Vance's office as deputy press secretary. The tweet includes two images: the top image shows Buckley Carlson, a young man in a suit and tie, standing in a government building with columns. The bottom image shows Tucker Carlson, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, with slightly tousled hair, speaking in an indoor setting.

Preferential hiring for mine, not for thine.
