Some of these symptoms for sleep deprivation sure seem familiar…

• reduced attention span
• worsened memory
• poor or risky decision-making
• feeling stress, anxiety, or irritability

Random unrelated note:
~75% of people with ADHD have Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome. 🫠

Just expel the members of congress with direct involvement in Jan 6… you’ll be closer to picking a Speaker one way or the other.

this has been said but one big reason some marginalized folks turn to horror is bc it feels honest. it literalizes the experience of “finally, someone is telling the truth.” this is what it feels like to be seen as a monster. to be forced to fight to survive. to be haunted.

No one in Congress should receive a paycheck until a Speaker is chosen.

last month i spent almost an entire session explaining stardew valley to my therapist and she said, "so you take care of responsibilities and help others in a video game as a way to feel fulfilled and productive when low" and there was really no need to be so loud about it

The “let’s government” party and the “ew no let’s fliff about” party.

The House speaker saga is what happens when there are only two political parties in a nation of over 330 million people.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

RIP GOP. The Party’s over.

[Paul Krugman @paulkrugman]

I've seen jokes about Liz Cheney as speaker, but seriously: why can't this end with 7 sane Republicans joining Democrats to elect someone who isn't totally despicable?

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

Why the hell anyone would vote for Republicans at this point is a goddamn mystery to me.

[Anthony Ford @anthford]

Republicans are in disarray because they *are* disarray. They exist to preserve the petty tyrants of the rich.

They run on “government just doesn’t work” and then sabotage it so they can say they are right.

Remember that every time Dems get things done.

If these are the lies he told to get into congress, imagine the lies he’ll tell to stay out of jail.

Top Gun Maverick is a film that dares to ask the question: “is this a parody, or is it possible to have a profound loss of self awareness at an organizational scale?” Cinema!

If capitalism could "solve" poverty, it would have already. Rather it creates, sustains, and criminalizes poverty.
