When my daughter was 6yo, she figured out that thing where you sneakily stick a note on someone’s back.

But she didn’t know the notes should say things like “kick me.” Instead, she would put space facts on them. She was really into outer space at the time.

One time I felt something on my back, then heard her run off giggling. I reached around, peeled off the little post-it, and found this:

if you don’t have time to watch the Republican debate tonight you can get the gist of it by shouting “woke transgender abortions” as you repeatedly run face-first into a glass door

@AnneTheWriter1 The Putin plane crashes and falling out of windows is what US will get (for many many years) if Trump is elected in 2024.
#Trump

It was a perfect plane crash...

Boggles the mind.

A person too chickenshit to even pledge she wouldn't vote for a convicted felon? Pass.

The most important time to water your houseplants is when they’re still alive.

This mystery thing just arrived at the observatory today, any ideas on what it is??
Will be plugging it in later to see what happens, if I discover time travel you never read this message... #computinghistory #computers #observatory #science #Astrodon #history

A Trump appointee to the Sixth Circuit wrote Wednesday that he wanted to strike down OSHA and all the permanent workplace rules that have come from it. He was dissenting in the 2-1 vote, so he lost and OSHA goes on, but the opinion tells us a lot.

Former VP Pious McKissAss gets busted by Michael Beschloss:

Was nice of #Pence to use Jimmy Carter's 1976 slogan and book title ("A Government as Good as its People") in the debate (the young Pence actually voted for Carter over Reagan), but would have been nicer if Pence had bothered to mention the slogan came from Carter, not himself

I love a good cup of coffee in the morning. What I love even more is when you shut up while I drink it.

Still processing what a caller said during my guest appearance on Bentley "Chip" Washington’s radio show: “I am the gentleman” who sparked the disorder that ruined MLK’s march in Memphis.

If confirmed, this is HUGE, putting to rest questions that have lingered for over 55 years.

People have been asking how the massive storm Hilary would affect water levels in the Salton Sea.
The answer is, barely. As of today, the Sea has risen around 2.4 inches (and a bit more water may still flow in), BUT this will have no significant impact on the continuing long-term decline (over 5 feet in 8 years).
Two graphs attached showing the slight boost and the longer term decline.

Hi. If you see "Biden only gave {tiny amount} to help {issue X} while spending millions on Ukraine" in any of your social media, that is propaganda. It's from Putin's disinfo shops aimed at convincing the west to stop supporting Ukrainian defenses against the Russian invasion.

You can and should report and block those accounts.

@Mary625 Reagan was a union member before he came to power, and then once he got to the presidency, he broke the unions, let gay people die, had scandal after scandal, and was just overall a terrible person.

My guess is that he ordered the devs to set this up so it looks like the platform gets more engagement but instead it seems weirder than ever

Remeber he was angry because his tweets didn't got enough views

Steve Bannon is now issuing threats to people holding Trump accountable

"I keep saying the J6 thing with President Trump in Georgia. We're gonna ram the stealing of Georgia, down her throat. And we're going to ram it up the a** of the governor…

“That's the revolution of 1776 right there!”

Remember when threats like these were illegal?
