All of Trump’s fear-mongering about immigrants reminded me of this old tweet. Still true.

Sitting around the table in France, everyone telling their story of how they found out about 9/11 and suddenly it feels like Thanksgiving in America and everyone is saying what they are thankful for

David Muir debunks Trump's lies about crime. Trump responses by accusing the FBI of fraud. Harris then brings up Trump's criminal charges and the fact he has been found liable of sexual assault.

Newly elected members of the French parliament refusing to shake hands with the far right is extremely satisfying. A particular shout out to the rock paper scissors gag.

Politics is a lot like bartending. You have to humble yourself, please all groups, service everyone equally, foster a safe environment, build a following, and smile if you're yelled at. The gridlock in DC is because of the Ivy League assholes. I want more bartenders in Congress.

Pikas can adjust their body temperature by changing their posture.

These two common postures are referred to as “puff” and “lounge”.

American pikas can their moderate body temperature through posture, squeezing into a fluffy ball, a body posture with minimum surface area, to hold in heat in winter (left), or stretching out the surface area of their bodies to cool down in summer (right).

Maybe replace:

- “oh no young people are so gullible to outrageous viral stuff on Tiktok” with

- “oh no the chattering classes on Twitter are so gullible to unsubstantiated, weird claims about young people and TikTok, often by folks trying to go viral” and get a better story?

It's wild that some conspiracy theorists think there's a secret group of billionaires controlling everything, when the truth is that they're not secret at all and we can clearly see what they are doing.
