@usedgov Hang on, I thought homeschooling was ideal? Now a year of it set back our kids?

@twinscrewplant @cspan 1.1 million died. Some people, like you, don’t understand science.

@omegaman_v1 @AndyBeshearKY Thought you lot want children’s education to primarily be up to the parents, and in most cases, would prefer homeschooling? Are you saying homeschooling = dumbing down?

@koreyerb @AndyBeshearKY Saving millions of lives and avoiding the collapse of hospitals** fixed it for you.

@dougascher @cspan What part of 1.1 million dying do you idiots not understand?

[MB @MeganBiller]

@twinscrewplant @cspan God, you’re hopeless. Hope the next pandemic gets ya.

Breaking news: reports suggest that Beshear is now at "2 and a half" as he gives McConnell the count to 3 to respond.

I watched Trump’s speech at the Correspondents’ Dinner last night.
It’s hard to articulate how sad it made me.

Sad and embarrassed and exhausted.

Here is the thing about a man who is a joke. He can’t tell one.

People think humor is a talent. It isn’t. It’s a capacity. To make someone laugh you have to be able to laugh at yourself, and to laugh at yourself you have to step outside of yourself and see what everyone else sees. For one second you have to be just another person in the room.

Most people can do this by the time they are nine years old.

He has never once managed it. Not in fifty years of cameras. Not for a second.

That is not a quirk. It is a symptom. The muscle that lets you tell a joke is the same one that lets you feel what another person feels. A man who cannot survive being laughed at cannot imagine being anyone but himself. He will only ever be generous when it is photographed. He will only ever be kind when it is filmed.

There is a name for it.

So he stood up there and did what he always does. He hit down. He made jokes about people’s weight. He made jokes about their intelligence. He made jokes about how women look. He read out the names of people he doesn’t like, and mocked them. Always mocking. And when no one laughed he blamed his speech writers.

The cruelty dressed as humor has worn so thin.

And for the 30% of you still in the cult who will inevitably call me a crackhead and blame it all on my Dad, all I can say is please, for the love of God, open your eyes. Wake the fuck up. Have some dignity. Have some pride.

Joe Biden wasn’t standing at that podium last night. Donald Trump was.

And at the end of it he put on a red hat that said Trump 2028 and told the room he was running again. No one laughed because everyone knows he has no intention of leaving.

Just another joke at our expense.

@facetedcarapace Exact opposite opinion/experience. Early date, my only-child husband split the 5th piece of app exactly in half. As 1/4, I was used to sharing and not getting exactly my fair share. Offering the 5th piece to the other person was my default, whereas he feels precisely 50% is best.

I, a person with ADHD, managed to cancel a free trial before being charged for a subscription. Please clap.

The absolute funniest part of capitalist ideology is that they somehow managed to convince everyone that “freedom” meant like.…. the freedom to choose between 47 kinds of shampoo, and not like.….. the freedom to quit a job you hatė without losing your health insurance.

@melinskers I had a guy friend training to be an EMT and someone came into the hospital with 3 tampons stuck inside. He exclaimed, “she had them in there for 3 months!!”…. He thought you used 1 per period. Ack.

@serlaflare @tashrellarosa Raffles? No. Buffets at wealthy weddings, or even upper middle class? Absolutely hell no.

Say what you will about Joe Biden, but I have absolutely no fucking idea when his birthday is.

[Maria Shriver @mariashriver]

I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”

Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.
