@Cobratate In my head I read this in Chris Hemsworth's Timid-Thor-Trying-To-Give-A-Rousing-Speech voice.

Your whole vibe is literally the first thirty minutes of his performance in Love and Thunder.

Like, you got rid of the dad bod but like, your heart still need mending brah.

The fate of the #Babylon5 pilot may be decided end of this month. Though much of @TheCW was bought by @NXSTMediaGroup the decision also rests heavily with @WarnerbrosTV. If fans want to show their support for B5 & let them know you want this to happen, now is the time #B5onCWin23

My internal dialogue consists of appreciating Jen Psaki on her merits and excellent intellect...
...there is no other aspect of her that causes me pause...
...nope, nothing but totally respectful and honorable appreciation over here...

Some folks are criticizing this video—suggesting that @JMaseIII is reading something into Genesis that isn't there.

But it's actually brilliant exegesis of the story, so we're going to break down his analysis a little. [Thread 👇]

Not a great look for a freshmen Congresswoman to be caught on tape at a rally in the Nation’s Capitol saying “Hitler was right.” @Miller_Congress

And for those who want to nitpick what she said, let me just stop you right there—Hitler was right on literally nothing.

@jcallina @Toblerone This got sandwiched between all the drama on my feed... I witness you. My sympathies are with you.

[Benjamin J. Bays @BenjaminJBays]

Hey @MSNBC, @CNN, @NBC quick question.

Have. There. Been. Arrests. At. The. Capital?

Dr. Anthony Fauci said that "it would be better" if government health officials could start working with President-elect Joe Biden's transition team, underscoring the importance of a smooth transition process https://t.co/vR8L1kL6qG

Benjamin Dixon has made the observation that we are only finding ourselves deconstructing all of the presidents lies and b.s. because he's a white conservative man... I needed to be reminded of that. If all y'all WCM's needed a mentor you def scraped the bottom to get Trump.

GOP in 2016: We can't sacrifice America's economy for a healthier environment.

The Trump GOP in 2020: We can't sacrifice the American economy for a few hundred thousand people.

[Benjamin J. Bays @BenjaminJBays]

Omg. Watching the debate on a delay and reading my twitter feed along the way. So bonkers.

[Benjamin J. Bays @BenjaminJBays]

It's interesting that the case for Trumpism is that it solidifies and energizes the base... no one on the right who benefits asks if that's actually wise though.

Wouldn't it be better to appeal to, and mold, the more angelic nature of the base instead?

We are supposed to be all shocked and shaken by the latest October surprise based on extremely questionable sources...

But we have also been desensitized by the fact that there have been like 12 or 14 October surprises from the other side since August.

#TrumpTaxes among others.

[Benjamin J. Bays @BenjaminJBays]

Interesting interpretations surrounding this when you search "New York Post" on Twitter...

I think it's valid that Twitter and Facebook would intercede given that the NYP isn't fact checking it's sources and that other outlets do so consistently.

Needed my weekly fix of @Susan_Hennessey stating something was "clearly bullshit" on #rationalsecurity.

Truly. Thank you. :)

When he was enabling the president he all but silent on masks.

Gets sick, is faced with his mortality as a person who's at high risk?

"We totally need to be wearing masks."

Millions sick, hundreds of thousands dead, but when you personally experience trauma then it's an issue.

[Jake Sherman @JakeSherman]

Actually most people are saying this and have been for like 7 months.

[Benjamin J. Bays @BenjaminJBays]

Not that I disagree with Mayor Pete but we have to gird ourselves for after Biden wins and we have to deal with 40% of the American populace being nurtured on, and wholly believing, multiple conspiracy and victim-hood narratives simultaneously and its affects.
