Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.
We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.
USAID is a criminal organization,” Mr. Musk wrote on Sunday in a social media post that many aid workers saw as confirmation the agency would soon be absorbed into the State Department and that some viewed as a potential threat to their personal safety. “Time for it to die.” THIS HAS TO STOP.
It is astonishing that mainstream media is covering this like it is a shruggie vibe 🤷‍♂️
I, for one, am pretty fond of Canada.
Trudeau starts by speaking directly to Americans. This will raise costs for *you*.
“Screaming. A million mouths screaming but also laughing the sky will bleed and there shall be a great flensing a burning away of the flesh it is coming there is no way to stop what is coming.”
Here are some nice mushrooms

Professor of evilology here. Evil people often lie to obscure their true motives. 🧵
I am announcing retaliatory tariffs against the United States. If you are in the United States and you are reading this post you owe me 30 cents.
Also, one of Trump’s great advantages is that he has very few things he actually believes in, which gives him a lot of latitude. But he has a genuine personal ideological zeal for tariffs. You can find him praising them in interviews 30 years ago.
I think this is the right sentiment about a lot of things but not about inflation. The levels that followed the pandemic were enough to crush incumbents, and did all over the world.
For fucks sake. We didn’t lose because of the price of eggs. We lost because Republicans SAID it was the price of eggs. Now they’re dismantling government, stripping rights, starting trade wars and Dems are saying “look at the eggs!” Leaders lead! Stop chasing their bullshit! Focus and fight back!
As a passive beneficiary of US hegemony my life will be more difficult if it ends, but we seem determined to go in that direction, so
I guess the danger for USA is the same as what happened to UK after the idiocy of Brexit; the rest of Europe adapted and moved on. UK economy still struggling and politicians of major parties afraid to admit it.

This feeling as a Mavs fan... it's like you went on Twitter and that election dude tweeted "I've seen enough: a golden retriever named Michael Jackson is the 48th President of the United States." You're not awaiting new information, you're wondering when you died and why the afterlife has Twitter.
So are Vancouver bartenders whipping up a maple syrup and tequila cocktail?

About to join my favorite Mavericks podcast and friend and host Josh just led off with "motherfuck this organization to the Earth's core."
Big thanks to everyone who stayed even though the show started two hours. About 85% of people stayed, which amazing. Thank you. (I don’t know what that insignia is btw. Everyone in event staff had that logo.)
Houston. The venue had an issue that has now been resolved. Sorry for the inconvenience but doors are now open. Show will start as soon as we can.
Some thoughts on marketing.
"You always need that iconic specimen that is going to catch your imagination so you can think broadly and ask the question, where do we come from?" said Dr. Zeray Alemseged on the importance of Lucy's fossil—the very first specimen of Australopithecus afarensis found.
Scariest thing I’ve done as a parent: The recent CSS WG meeting had no childcare so Chris and I took our 5 year old with us and she sat quietly at her tablet during the meetings. I was very apprehensive but she asked us to trust her, so we did. And she did great. So proud of her. 🥰
on threads I had the option to use a filter to read fewer political posts but here I’d prefer a filter that helped me not write them
