Pardon me while my ego imposes itself on your reality.

Leave the government shutdown. Trump wants to burn it all down just so he can be king of the ashes. Fine. Let the calamity begin. “Sounding the alarm” has become a pointless exercise. Until real, non-news consuming Americans feel the pain of his presidency, nothing will change.

It’s clear now that Kirk was killed as a Reichstag fire event. The administration is using this to eliminate all of their enemies in the media and to inflame people on both sides. They WANT violence in the streets so they can complete their totalitarian takeover of the US.

@ABC @Disney I am canceling Hulu and taking note of every show you have so I can be sure to never watch them again. That you would cave so quickly to pressure of the fascists is inexcusable. You think you made the right decision for shareholders, but you made a mistake. #Kimmel

All identities come with prejudice.

[Christopher James @MrUnderstanding]

Having an identity fulfills a human need — but living to be that identity alienates others and tends to cause people to dehumanize people with different labels. #identity #identitypolitics #schism

@NateLoewentheil @nytimes I actually had this idea 7 years ago. I wanted to call it The Monument to Stupidity. I have a sculptor, a design, and a plan to tour it around the country for under $200k, but I couldn’t raise the money. If you’re interested, feel free to contact me.

We learn things from life experience — but that doesn’t always mean Life will teach us things worth knowing, or even the truth.

@RealTimers @billmaher @KeeganMKey @TheElleKey @MattWelch @whignewtons @HBO @StreamOnMax @CNN I’m not sure if I’ve ever disliked a person so intensely so quickly as @whignewtons after seeing her on your show tonight. Maybe one day maybe she’ll get cancer and her doctor will have taken her advice and tell her to “just live with the pain.”

@FlyFrontier When you set up the rules to play a game of “gotcha” with your customers, how long do you expect to have customers? I not only lost my birthday vacation to Covid, but $400 to your absurd policies. So, you get my money. Enjoy it. It’s the last you’ll ever see. #scams

I think Giuliani is going to flip.

Since the 1840s, the economy has chosen to venerate “the peddler.” The people who create the very things we want are counted as less important financially than those selling the thing. The seller shouldn’t be the only one profiting. #wga #UnionStrong #SAGAFTRA #gigwork

@jbouie Well done! Your piece today was a cogent, well-executed defense of American values. Thomas Paine could not have said it better.

What is it about people who critique power structures — they find it impossible not to fetishize their identities.

I suspect we’re going to see a major reckoning with China in the next 10 years.

@Grindr and @scruffapp literally dox gay men to hate groups. They are actively betraying the gay community. #doxing #betrayal #grindr #gaymen #Apps #DataPrivacy #ConsumerRights #consumerprotection #BigTech #privacymatters #privacy #exploitation

@peterhartlaub Great article today about the 1862 flood — but please go back and edit the 1961 and 1962 references. It was a little confusing.

[Christopher James @MrUnderstanding]

I applaud @GavinNewsom decision to withhold #Homeless funding from cities today. Whatever we’re doing is not working, and it’s appropriate to question our methods and assumptions. It’s also time to remove inflexible ideologues from the equation.
