Political strategist @RachelBitecofer over on #birdsite — haven’t seen her on Mastodon yet — believes the #MAGA #GOP should be mercilessly mocked for all their fascist-wannabe BS agitprop. Combining the mocking with stating truth. Sort of sounds like the direct opposite of GOP’s lies and incitement to division. Hakeem Jeffries just might be very adept at this.
It's the train wreck you are forced to watch. The is war crime adjacent. If we can't put these egomaniacs in prison, can we at least tax them the fuck out of existence?
Maria Ressa is a feisty gem. She has a lot to say and is unflinching about social media.
.@glenn_a_fine@twitter.com, former IG at BOTH DOJ and DOD, weighs in @TheAtlantic@twitter.com with a strong case for making the Justices' ethical requirements formalized and no longer up to the Justices themselves.

I've been thinking a lot about Twitter and failure lately. And the absurdist Gladiator spectacle that we're all watching. I decided to turn it into a blog post: https://zephoria.medium.com/what-if-failure-is-the-plan-2f219ea1cd62
For #AcademicToots #AcademicMastodon I’m wondering if universities established dot edu masto instances that we adopted, this could supplant paid #BlueCheck #BlueTick verifications as a de facto employer verification in the #Fediverse, at least for our sector.

#WhoGoesNazi read this piece, written by the first female journalist to be expelled from Nazi Germany, #DorothyThompson she sets the reader up at a gala. Each person we meet is a letter of the alphabet. Which letter would you be most similar to? Your neighbor? Brother? Auntie? (Ps. I don’t know who shared it first, but thank you. It is so helpful to understand the human nature, & background that helps create the #Nazi).

Legit question: When is it finally time to walk away, no matter what it says about "ceding ground." Because if the Daily Stormer aint it what is? If you're still there (I am) whats the line? Asking for real. https://www.mediaite.com/online/elon-musk-allows-editor-of-neo-nazi-site-the-daily-stormer-back-on-twitter/?fbclid=IwAR1wsfbaEzn5Ls_2erko8bzee0sGJlRG4pHAJt8XgslCjrSZm0hWYhzoGH4
I love it in here. There's currently a hashtag named #thicktrunktuesday that is basically pics of massive, beautiful trees.
I humbly submit El Tule, an incredible ahuehuete from the state I was born, Oaxaca. It's over 2000 years old. "Tule" means "Tree of Enlightment" #Oaxaca #Mexico #ElTule It has the thickest trunk in the world.

Every December eve I post this piece of Housman, and every year it moves me all the more. The unexpectedness of ‘Prompt hand and headpiece clever’; the ‘winterfalls of old’. And maybe, just maybe, the ordering of the poem (‘XX’) also stands for two kisses?

It's terrifying that a comedy show has to be the vehicle to shine a light on the very undemocratic forces that are threatening the country right now.

Saw the movie "Tar" and this was in it briefly. Always have liked this one.
Jiu-jitsu liberal. Couldn't drink well enough to be a writer or a lawyer. Became a stoned philosopher instead. Sometimes pay the bills.
