"Some unfortunate lady."

[E. T. Young @emverse]

Today is my #birthday. What do I think about that?

The long version: https://t.co/RgqgJ0aFJx

The short version: 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

@briprice661 @kaitlancollins Really? Seems like Trump bent pretty far over for Putin and Elon.

[E. T. Young @emverse]

@orangeblaze @kineticgardens @Scaramucci One thing right: it is my extended family members fighting out there to defend their homes from aggression. But the propaganda machine is in Russia, paying right-wing media to echo their talking points, sow dissent, and erode US power by feeding it to oligarchs.

[E. T. Young @emverse]

@KDmama24 @Mar50cC5O @Liz_Cheney If we're America first, why are our leaders regurgitating Russian talking points!??

Ukraine was our allied foothold on Russia's doorstep. We essentially walked away from it because Putin said "I want that."

Putin has been sowing pro-Russia sentiment since his shirtless pics.

[E. T. Young @emverse]

@orangeblaze @kineticgardens @Scaramucci You act like there's only one way to resolve this war, and it's giving Russia what they want. So, how's the weather in St. Petersburg?

[E. T. Young @emverse]

@orangeblaze @kineticgardens @Scaramucci Sorry, remind me how all the countries had to surrender their territory to Germany to end WWII?

If we reward aggressive warmongers with new territory for their aggression, they will only do it again. Putin is in the wrong. Might does not make right.

@miamicool @Scaramucci Trump's version contains fabrications, and isn't really Trump's version. It's Russia's.

The Cold War never ended for Putin. He realized Russia couldn't grow strong enough on its own so he decided to kneecap the US by sowing dissent and injecting propaganda into our discourse.

[E. T. Young @emverse]

@leoknyc777 @Scaramucci Can confirm, as a Ukrainian-American, watching Trump spit Russian propaganda into Zelenskyy's face felt like being stabbed, each facet of his blathering nonsense a dagger. Had to turn it off.

@Dregus_311 @LilSouthrnGrl @RepThomasMassie A commitment to being both bold and wrong is quite a stance! I prefer to correct myself when wrong and not make faulty assumptions.

Yes, I know you probably typo'd "comment." But as the ancient adage goes: check yourself before you wreck yourself.

[E. T. Young @emverse]

@Dregus_311 @LilSouthrnGrl @RepThomasMassie You think people before 1988 were serfs? Bold (and wrong) assumptions there on what eras of history I was referring to.

[E. T. Young @emverse]

@LeRougeSamurai1 @RepThomasMassie Let's start by confiscating Trump's assets, then. God damn it, we played right into Russia's hands. They couldn't match our power, so they funded right-wing media to weaken our country with racism and sexism, erode our government, and bring us down to their level...

[E. T. Young @emverse]

@LilSouthrnGrl @Dregus_311 @RepThomasMassie Ffs, tax the rich! The most prosperous eras in American history had HIGHER TAXES FOR THE TOP INCOME BRACKETS. Government spending INCREASES prosperity by job creation. TAX THE RICH or they will hoard all the money! Don't support billionaires, they're robbing YOU.

I finally get through to a human, start explaining the situation, and then this.

He disconnected me before I could explain that I CAN'T START A CHAT REQUEST ON THAT ACCOUNT BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW THE ID.

I can't open a new chat because it recognizes I was just in chat support

[E. T. Young @emverse]

@AskPlayStation I can't get through to a human on the chat because, again, I don't know the player ID associated with the email because I didn't create the account.

So I created a new account and spent 40 minutes waiting in a chat queue.

I know tweets don't make much difference, so if you see this, call, email, fax your local representatives and tell them you want them to represent your support of Ukraine.

[E. T. Young @emverse]

@talkingoa Ahhh Colinfirthfanfiction!! I will totally check this out and you can have my ramblings any day of the week. ❤️

Yay!

And since I missed a day that was apparently a big deal, a friend was kind enough to run it for me... (Spoilers for #Wordle213 below)

@jeffvandermeer There's this long-standing propaganda that "development is good" - been pushed by developers and politicians for decades. Hard to undo the PR.

Infrastructure maintenance and investment into existing communities is good. Development is a money funnel into select, moneyed pockets.
