A mouse on a table

Last night, the President made a mockery of the affordability crisis, and failed to acknowledge how his tariffs are making it worse.

These tariffs are a tax on Maine people, they're unconstitutional, and they have to stop.

THREAD 🧵The Epstein Files exposed hundreds of mentions of rich, powerful people who were close with Epstein. These include President Trump, his closest allies, and appointees. Here's what we know:

Hey why did the costco ceo actually reply to my email

anyone who reads a post about antisemitism and immediately treats it as an implicit defense of Israel needs to try shutting the fuck up

For someone who claims to “loathe” Nazis, it’s interesting that your first reaction to anyone mentioning antisemitism is to dismiss it out of hand and insist it must be something Jews have brought upon themselves.

Famously, no antisemitism occurred before 1948.

Maybe you should think about how your first response to anyone bring up antisemitism is to immediately change the subject and assume bad faith.

And antisemitism doesn’t?

Why is that the first thing you think to bring up whenever anyone mentions antisemitism?

Famously, there was never any antisemitism in the world before Israel started committing genocide. None whatsoever.

Famously, there was never any antisemitism before Netenyahu took power.

Guess we’re gonna have to put him down, folks.

Of course many drivers think about it a very clannish way, and wouldn’t be receptive to that argument anyways, but that sorta attitude isn’t exactly helping either.

Knee-jerk anti-car sentiment is frustrating because it can be counterproductive to the anti-car dependency movement too. Giving people more options for transit improves things for everyone, including those who still decide to drive, because now there’s less traffic to compete against!

Bernie Sanders never got a totenkopf tattooed on his chest.

A split screen: on the left is a crested Roman helmet in the foreground with a tunic of scale armour (lorica squamata) in the background. On the right is a close up of the tunic and the scales are practically indistinguishable from the scales of a pangolin (but there again we're on our third coffee).

We're marking World Pangolin Day by remembering that Roman soldiers would routinely dress as pangolins before going into battle.

Take action to tell your state senators you want them to pass HB2095 to strengthen accountability for drivers who hit people walking or biking:

Sometimes I think of what life would be like if humans had evolved to (regularly) have 6 fingers on each hand. Perhaps that would make math easier.

I think the ultimate conclusion is that we need to convert the entirety of society to base 12 (or 6). A very easy and accomplishable task, I’m sure. And then we can create a new metric.

Interesting how Rochester doesn’t directly connect to NYC. I feel like there would be demand for that.

People keep saying ‘US Postal Service’ and I get the instinct, but it doesn’t work. I have to restrain myself. But someday…

(And by ‘strike’ I mean make a not that funny joke by pretending to assume they’re referring to the band)

Someday someone will refer to some postal service (not necessarily the US) as ‘The Postal Service’ and then I will strike. Until then I shall lay in wait, like a snake underfoot.

People need to stop using "Zionist" as a generic mark of evil, part infinity

When I hear “most”, I might first picture a portion more like 60-70%, but that doesn’t mean you’re lying if it’s 51% (or less in the case of a plurality, depending).
Same way that if you talk about a “bird” I might first picture a sparrow. Doesn’t mean you’re lying if it was an eagle!

I mean, he didn’t say it though
