I'm a Michigan writer, parent, and history professional. You can tell by my distinct shape that I used to be a chain restaurant, but I’m not anymore. She/her.

I don’t care how many giant flat walls of screens are at Costco, this is what I want to watch:

this was the tv

@JoshLipnik It looks like a sink! Or the face of a character in Pee-Wee’s playhouse!

Happy Father’s Day to everyone except Henry Ford! Edsel Ford was so good in spite of his father, not because of him, and probably died from the stress of him. And who knows how much worse Henry would have gotten without his wife, Clara.

No word yet on Mitch McConnell? I get patient privacy but I worry MAGA will try to sneak out a replacement McConnell robot like the one that kicked that poor kid in China

Today is #Juneteenth, a day to honor history and reflect on the meaning of freedom.

@JeanetteKStone1 @BeschlossDC The bird is cracking me up, this looks like it would be on the educational paper placemat for a restaurant’s children’s menu.

Have they asked Austin the pool boy from Love Island for his professional opinion about the paint job in the DC Reflecting Pool? It almost seems like Trump would hire him.

[Covie @covie_93]

He lost the wars with Iran and algae in the same week

[Meredith Counts @MeredithCounts]

- and shameless showboating to cover up even bigger grifts and failures

[gino.eth 💽 @GinoTheGhost]

The Reflecting Pool is a perfect metaphor for the Trump administration:

- Ignore experts and science
- Overspend
- Declare early, historic victory
- "THE LEFT HATE THIS"
- Ends in total failure
- Unfounded conspiracies about sabotage
- MAGA pretends it doesn't actually matter

@jenelaina For sure, I’d love it! My kids pretend to hate dino pee now that they’re older, but it used to make them laugh!

@anwit07 @claydon_calder It wasn’t his focus, it was two of the first three words??

[rust belt roadtrip @gmoult]

@BillyBeanbox I think we need to start reframing this costs as a society, it might not be profitable, but it’s worth it

[Hoodlum 🇺🇸 @NotHoodlum]

“The reflecting pool is open and everyone is having a wonderful time.”

@jenelaina I had to look it up, the poem is called “Classic Water” but it really has just one line about water… seems the dinosaur was all me

@bugsandfishes @claydon_calder Imagine, to be a hedgehog and never have heard of twitter but suddenly your crate is very well-stocked with treats and toys

@anwit07 @claydon_calder A heartwarming story! Let’s focus on the negative.

@factpostnews If they’re doing this bad out in the open, what are they doing behind closed doors?
