Nothing says “America: Fuck Yeah!” like giving #ClusterMunitions to our allies ensuring that plenty of human being will die brutal deaths, including innocent Ukrainian civilians when said munitions fail to go off until they are discovered by said civilians. The fuck are we doing?
Interesting article from @ZDNET about how #Elon is wrong about “record user engagement.” Basically, it’s saying he’s wrong and provide specific numbers describing how wrong. zdnet.com/article/twitter-se…
#Elon is all about #FreeSpeech, huh? Stopping people from reading makes #FreedomOfSpeech a little redundant. Limits are how this sort of thing starts.
I am Tired of the Whining Anti-Woke Folks
Taking a pot-shot or two at the not-so-good gentleman from the Florida governor's mansion along with anyone who thinks "woke" is a bad word. Go read it! Thanks! open.substack.com/pub/thepet…
“If memory serves, we all knew Clarence Thomas really wasn’t a good guy from the beginning. Why was no one paying attention to him since he got confirmed? Didn’t somebody once say “the cost of freedom is eternal vigilance”? Didn’t someone…”

Wow—the entire segment with #JonStewart going on #Crossfire (co-hosted by #TuckerCarlson) is depressingly topical and absolutely worth watching right now. Stewart predicted the damage news/political theater would inflict & just look where America is today youtu.be/aFQFB5YpDZE
I love it when rich people whine about things.
Like, what’s all that money for if you’re reduced to bitching on Twitter like the rest of us?
Definitely getting frustrated with Twitter. Seeing some folks I respect paying Elon to be able to go beyond the character limit means Twitter is no longer Twitter & people are putting more money in Elon’s pocket. Morally, this bothers me.
Before you scroll…
Know that Elon Musk is a jackass who may be smarter than Trump but he’s somehow dummer that Trump, as well.
I hate that he is in charge of the social network that has been my fave since I joined probably before most of y’all.
So, I wrote a thing last month on my #Substack about how we're in big trouble but I don't remember hyping it on Twitter. WHAT BETTER A TIME TO HYPE MY RECENT SUBSTACK PIECE THAN NOW, RITE?!?🤪
Is this thing on? 😑

In Opinion
There are few people alive today who saw the impact of the 1945 atomic bombing of Hiroshima with their own eyes. In this Op-Doc, Akiko Takakura, who was about 300 yards from the hypocenter, tells her story. nyti.ms/40Slsdq

This is beyond party or partisanship. This degree of corruption is shocking - almost cartoonish. Thomas must be impeached.
Barring some dramatic change, this is what the Roberts court will be known for: rank corruption, erosion of democracy, and the stripping of human rights.
NEW BLOCKBUSTER: Private jet travel. Superyacht Island-hopping. Stays at a private resort.
For decades, Justice Clarence Thomas accepted luxury gifts from a billionaire.
Appears he broke the law.
