“The decision was made to exclude me from the filmed production of Swan Lake because I was told my brown skin would disrupt the aesthetic.” ~ Misty Copeland

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

South Park just nailed this w the Hegsmeth episode

As a society we still can’t get past “but I had to work for what I have” - everything is a measuring contest about what is or isn’t “deserved” relative to each persons’ personal experience

Ultimately we are selfish as fuck 🤷🏼‍♂️

All corporate CEOs should understand: If you agree to attend an event at the White House, you are very likely to be filmed nodding appreciatively at a delusional racist rant. If you're ok with that, go. If not, you probably should stay away.

They officially think everyone is a moron

Working on a parable called The Emperors of Dunning-Kruger Mountain in which a bunch of people rise to positions of power but don’t know and won’t tell each other that they are all in way over their heads so instead they just invite more people up.

I have been canceled and de-platformed for my political beliefs. Learn the full story in my feature-length essay in The Free Press, my interview on 60 Minutes, my chat/cooking demo on CBS Mornings, and my lecture series at the University of Austin.

Is TN-7 really in play? Just saw Behn up with 42% reporting - wow

I’d say “that dog won’t hunt” - but afraid Noem would shoot the dog

Pete Hegseth @PeteHegseth X.com Let's make one thing crystal clear: Admiral Mitch Bradley is an American hero, a true professional, and has my 100% support. I stand by him and the combat decisions he has made — on the September 2 mission and all others since. America is fortunate to have such men protecting us.

Laura Rozen @lrozen X.com Leavitt's "remarks...elicited a furious backlash within the Defense Depapt, where officials described feeling angry at the uncertainty over whether Hegseth would take responsibility for his alleged role in the operation — or leave the military & civilian staff under him to face the consequences.

Under normal circumstances, I’d agree - but this fucking guy 🤷🏼‍♂️

Half the time it’s not even intentionally being used as a weapon - just a bang/bang play that ends up really hurting a guy

These guys are all so quick it’s crazy

It’s wrong to lump all top Trump people in one category. There are differences among them. But they do seem to fall into three (sometimes overlapping) categories:

• Ordinary criminals (grift and corruption).

• Sex criminals.

• War criminals.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

China Has a Network of Ports Encircling the Globe With shipping outposts on six continents, Beijing has cemented its trade dominance. That some could be used by its navy has other nations worried.

Beijing has built or invested in commercial shipping ports on every continent sav Antarctica. Some can be used for military purposes, which has the US increasingly worried.

That sounds like a crime against humanity 😂

The White House has a Flickr account? That’s still a company?

NEWS: A federal appeals court pane upholds the $1 million sanction against Trump and Habba for a "frivolous" lawsuit against Hillary Clinton, Comey, et al.

"Many of Trump’s and Habba’s legal arguments were indeed frivolous," Judge Pryor wrote.

I assumed this had to be some church thing

Crockett on MTG resigning: "Honestly, I was like, you got to be kidding. You're on the other side of the president for one week and you can't take the heat? Imagine what it is to sit in my shoes."

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Because fuck health am I right?

It was a joke 🤦🏼‍♂️

Imagine being Cheryl Hines - I feel like she’s stuck in some sort of RFK Jr offshoot of Scientology but without the science

Honestly, it’s never been the same for me since Fowler left the desk and Corso had his stroke

Rece loves himself too much, Desmond knows nothing about anything, and Herbie has lost his fastball

Only Saban stands out as worth listening to

I mostly watch the SEC Network now - it’s better
