All I can say about the reflecting pool debacle is that I thought it would be impossible to top the Four Seasons Landscaping plot line, but having the guy who said he was gonna drain the swamp accidentally MAKE A GIANT SWAMP is giving it a run for its money.

The World Cup fans falling in love with America aren’t in the places MAGA controls ... they’re in New York, LA, Seattle. Chicago, San Francisco, and Boston, the cities Republicans have spent a decade calling dangerous, godless hellholes that apparently the entire world wants to visit.

[CRG @Cantrushit]

Let me get this straight: it was too expensive to cancel up to $400 billion in student loan debt (which would have freed up the spending power of millions of Americans so money going back into the economy). So instead, [checks notes] we're going to give $300 billion to Iran.

Pride Night is not a “night to feature your sexual orientation” whatever the hell that means lmao. Pride Night is about the team saying LGBTQ community members are welcome and accepted here and baseball is for everyone. That’s all it’s about.

[Jonathan Smith @DegenerateTBone]

Coward baseball players weaponizing Bible verses is such selective behavior.

I wonder if those same millionaires would like their GM to remind them of Jesus telling the rich man to sell all his possessions (Matthew 19 :16-24) the next time they have contract negotiations?

Commercial advertising, product placements, and corporate-sponsored promotions are explicitly prohibited on national parklands. The White House lawn is a unit of the National Park System. It also violates standard Anti-Vending and Solicitation Laws as well as misuse of public funds and government endorsement ethics. Everything this administration does spits in the face of our laws. Everything is a grift.

i understand preventing theft but we gotta unlock the deodorant aisle we gotta let people steal that shit during summer as a public good

So they’ll get Mexican stem cell treatments to not age but wouldn’t take a vaccine to save their neighbors lives?

Met a guy recently named Jonathan who goes by Nathan. I didn’t even know you could do that

[Clarence Thomas the Tank Engine @TheRealJChubby]

Lawmakers posting AI generated images to oppose data centers is pretty brain dead.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

When did flying become the worst experience ever? Like why am I in premium seats with an inch of leg room and the seat feels like damn concrete for an 8 hour flight. Every time I get on a plane (which is about once a month or so) it gets worse and worse. No matter the airline

[evan loves worf @esjesjesj]

Honestly pure dictator shit. A real democracy would immediately imprison him for even trying this

[Chris Towler @blkprofcct]

The fact that almost EVERY former confederate state is moving to completely eliminate Black representatives almost immediately after the SCOTUS decision should be more than enough proof that voting rights still need protection and racism is far from gone in this country.

[Nikolaj🇺🇦🇵🇸 @nikicaga]

Feel like the Bible is quite explicit on this one

[Andrew—#IAmTheResistance @AmoneyResists]

This is him confessing that this was the entire point of the shooting.

[fooler initiative @metroadlib]

AM I TO UNDERSTAND....THAT *FEDERAL* AGENTS ....HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATING AN *INSTAGRAM* *PICTURE* OF *SEASHELLS* FOR *NINE* TO *ELEVEN* GODDAMNED MONTHS?!?

[emily north @north0fnorth]

i know it’s a played-out talking point by now but seriously can you imagine any other administration posting like this. even if you believe “it’s trolling” do you really think the official white house account should be spending its time trolling everyone by calling trump a king

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

Stop. Staging. Fake. Assassination. Attempts.

[Kyle Kushblasta @SkinnyTuna]

people’s memories are so bad they can’t even remember the time before the trans culture war. literally no one cared. republicans didnt care. it wasn’t a concern until they had to make something up to make you angry and stupid. we have hard proof that it’s a hoax but no one cares
