Word to the wise: If you spend a decade in a quaint tropical mountain village beside a stunning caldera lake, you'll grow in amazing ways, but no one you know is going to be on Twitter. #lifechoices

@TheRealThelmaJ1 See also, that Chick-fil-a sandwich was never any good, but if it were I'd boycott it.

Smotrich isn’t “islamophobic”. He’s wanted for war crimes. And the New York State Attorney General was marching with him in a parade that celebrated his political project.

@getty_a96716 @HeerJeet Miriam was made white as snow with leper's scales, is how I read it. Right on the nose!

@BlueCheckBeth It's so frustrating that the spiritual successors of the people who had to flee to Canada after the Revolution somehow ended up with the "Patriot" mantle.

The fact that Sam Adams is remembered as "Who, the beer guy?" really says it all.

@Someperson1991 @_Doodster I have an Estonian friend who occasionally reminds me even their far right who want migrants sent to camps believe in universal healthcare for the people they consider Estonians.

@JustiFaizLili You don't need to know much background. The Mechanicus are their own thing.

@VinSkvlly @ryangrim @EmmanuelMacron With French help, America can quickly come to the same overwhelming dominant military position we had in Vietnam in the Winter of 1974! 🇺🇸🇫🇷

@JackLe0n @richimedhurst Would you say US complete military dominance in the Iran theater is more like Vietnam in April 1975, or Afghanistan in August of 2021?

Full statement:

“The massacre of 167 girls, aged 7 to 12, in their classrooms at an elementary school in Iran is the greatest atrocity committed by the United States since the Vietnam War. Near the Strait of Hormuz, in a remote and almost unknown area of Iran, and for no reason that anyone can comprehend. Sixty others are hospitalized with injuries.

Later, on that very first day of the war, 40 volleyball players three full women’s teams were killed in a single airstrike. You may not even have heard about the slaughter of the schoolgirls. It is the largest mass killing of schoolgirls ever recorded in world history.

Yet no one is talking about it.

I do not wish to overstate the point, but pause for a moment and consider: if Russia had killed 167 Ukrainian schoolgirls, if Palestinians had killed 167 Israeli schoolgirls, if Iran had killed 167 schoolgirls, it would have been the biggest news story in the world for years.”

@t_a_brosz @keithdorejel Many cities and states regularly exempt wealthy corporations from taxes. The idea is that they'll create jobs in the community but historically this works out as well as sports stadiums; everyone gets a taste except the taxpayer.

The NBA oddly chose a map of France that corresponds to the old Capetian realm. Why does the NBA reject French annexation of Burgundy? Are they disputing the outcome of the Battle of Nancy? Will the NBA pledge loyalty to the Valois dukes?

This from BS is spot on. The salient feature that defines why @NYCMayor is awesome is because he is high agency, when nearly the entire coterie of elected Democrats are low agency losers capable only of saying “I’m worried” and texting fundraising appeals that begin with “My decision”.

The police are an occupying army. Their function is to prevent people from taking control of their own lives and communities. It has nothing to do with keeping people safe.

BREAKING: ICE officials are reportedly mad that tow companies in Minneapolis keep towing ICE vehicles, but the tow truck drivers keep shrugging and saying, "If you all refuse to identify yourselves, it's impossible for us to tell which vehicles are yours, isn't it?"

@CBSNews Mark Smith is a traitor to the Constitution. He is a lawyer and fully aware that he is diminishing the rights of all Americans for a temporary political point. His connection to the Trump administration is worth more to him than your rights.
