I thought it was a good idea to major in US History, Political Science, and Religious Studies. Don’t take advice from me. Into board games & baseball.

@AndrewSolender @ray_osa Oh, so we’re doing McCarthyism again now? Cool,cool.

[Viola Maroon @aimilee]

@hotdamhistorian Same. I double majored in History and PoliSci with a minor in Religious studies. It was not unusual for me to be assigned 350+ pages of reading a week between the 3-5 classes I took at a time.

Y’all very young, but there was a time when we used to spend money buying ringtones, and now I’ve had my phone on silent for like seven years.

So I subscribed.
Opened the first post.
Immediately made eye contact with their entire asshole.
Anyway that’s how I learned OnlyFans and Patreon are two very different things.

Grew up super religious, which meant I was…let’s say, aggressively naive about the world.
I like to think I’ve evolved, matured, gained wisdom, etc.

But then I remember that in 2020 at 30+ years old I saw someone I follow post a subscription link to their “work.” I’d read their stuff before, loved the feminist, anti-capitalist vibes, thought “yes, support artists!!”

@falsemirror Not to mention if this continues to play out this way a lot of us aren’t going to have jobs in 12-24 months 💀

@rushicrypto @BreeNewsome I particularly love the part where you pay for all this, the doctors say you need a specific medication and then insurance just hmmm 🤔 nah

@alisoncook @jen_rice_ I went from Sylvia Garcias district, to likely Briscoe Cains. I hate everything.

@tedlieu Don’t give them any ideas

After the publication of the US NSS, we all now know Europe is seen as America's primary enemy. No other part of the world is treated with such overt hostility and bellicose "regime change" threats

Next time leaders of EU countries take another Haj to convince Washington that potus is still the Big Daddy, will they do so knowing *they* are the centrists the US administration abhors and explicitly wants to replace with right wing extremists?

That the US goal is a continent of Hungaries? Intolerant, a Russian vassal state, with state capture by a corrupt oligarchy? A prewar patchwork of individual countries too weak to stand up to any security or economic threats? Easy to bully, invade, take over?

As the common Enlightenment provenance of both Europe and US is explicitly ignored in the NSS , perhaps the EU needs a more biblical reference to understand what we are today.

"Like a sheep being led to the slaughter or a lamb that is silent before her shearers, he did not open his mouth" (Isaiah 53:7).

People are under-estimating the savvy of Senate Democrats. If they had lost the elections on Tuesday, they would have had to cave to Trump. But since they won, they had to cave to Trump.

@withchapter @HornsUpBob @GavinNewsom Because I was born and raised in Texas? So were my parents. Believe it or not it’s possible for individuals living in the same place to have conflicting views. Would I vote Newsom? I’m not sure yet, but I did care to hear what he had to say.

@MisterBoognish @nwabugo_uchendu @MeidasTouch To be fair these were just some of the individuals who didn’t get into the venue.

@bchecketts @ReallyAmerican1 @GavinNewsom @grok It was well more than 50. While at a small venue the venue was at capacity and people were turned away.
