Don't mind me, I'm just tweeting a timeline break so I can pin it.
Take care of yourself folks. Stop. Breathe. Then keep on keeping on.

"Is this millennial or Gen X?" is a silly debate. Just like the bands the baby boomers grew up on were mostly made up of dudes born between 1940-42, older millennials grew up listening to music made by Generation X.
Released in 1996 as the second single from Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, “1979” became the Smashing Pumpkins' biggest American hit, reaching No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on both the Modern Rock Tracks and Mainstream Rock Tracks charts. The album was eventually certified 10× Platinum in the United States. “1979” was almost left off the album: producer Flood gave Corgan a final deadline to complete the unfinished song or remove it from the record. Corgan went home, finished the lyrics that night, and returned the next day with a new demo that convinced Flood to keep it.
Billy Corgan wrote the track as a nostalgic reflection on adolescence and the transition into adulthood. Although the title refers specifically to the year Corgan was 12, the song is less a literal autobiography than an idealised reflection on what it felt like to be young.

❓ War needs ports. What happens when the workers who run them say no?

I do think more Dem candidates should do Trump impressions tbh. AES is cooking with that. Do a little standup. Do a little crowd work. Let’s get @GianmarcoSoresi doing some consulting
El-Sayed: In my Neurology unit, I would have to give that MOCA exam, that cognitive test he's so proud of… The only people you give that test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you’re taking one of those tests, something is wrong.
And you know the doctor who gave it to him was like, I just want to see how smart you are, sir. And he's like, me too.
He brags about having taken it. He's like I remembered the rhinoceros. You're like Habibi, everybody remember the rhinoceros.
And the funny thing about it is, you know, he's taken it multiple times. So he's not even bragging about the first time he took it. He's like, I took it the 1st time and then I took it the 2nd time. So with Donald Trump, you can't blame him for this, he's just dumb.
But for Mike Rogers, can you imagine how small of a human being you have to be to know that he has real deficits and to just nod your head approvingly at the most ridiculous shit that the man proposes?
Not. That. Difficult.
This is the lowest bar any Dem running for office should be able to step over. But since some still fall flat on their damn faces: thank you, Adam.

Adam Hamilton on transgender rights:
“I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself.”
“I’m gonna love the trans person as well as the straight person, male or female. We have to do better than picking on small groups. What’s happened is we’ve turned a group of people into a campaign issue because it polls well.”

i don’t know how to say this succinctly but petite has become co-opted by normal height skinny people when it originally meant anyone under like 5’3” regardless of size and it’s made shopping impossible

His birth certificate says he was born in Michigan. Listen to what he's actually saying.
Apropos of nothing feel like sharing a feel good story about Michigan, Christmas, and Muslims from last year.
No reason in particular, none at all. Just a cool story about how Christmas wasn't cancelled.

If you're pro breathing air and drinking water and not shitting in your home, the Earth, then tonight is a huge victory.

Love Brandi. Mike Rogers is the reason why Detroit public schools is suffering today. When I went there it was completely different and we had some of the top schools in the country. Now there's too many kids who can't read or drive.
