To @elonmusk : when I go to report an ad full of propaganda, and your website asks me why I want to report, propaganda or false claims or similar reasons are not there, and neither is “ad is abusive or threatening.” Can you add those categories? (*Knows he won’t*)

@tbailey1976 @TheBeatWithAri Yes, and Baby Goebbels is the best nickname I’ve heard for him since Pee-Wee German (which I wish I knew the source of!)

@ButNotTheCity This! This statement consolidates the connection between white supremacy and rigid gender norms in a way that I have seen quite so succinctly. Thanks for this whole thread! So astute

@Amy_Siskind Amazing that that’s all they’ve got! As he said in a video I just saw, “Their ceiling and their floor are the same!”

@JamesLucasIT I love this thread! Can you attribute each one to its source? I’d like to use them in classes, but not if the sources aren’t cited. Gotta be a role model for giving credit to authors, after all! 😁

@EsotericCD Ones that I quote often:
“Car!”
“Bummer of a birthmark, Hal,”
“Rusty’s in the club!”
“Mr. Farnsworth, I’m afraid you have cows,”
and this.

Careful, Democrats. Cast Kamala Harris aside at your peril, @Michele_Norris writes. https://t.co/rNjsahebq4

@DougJBalloon @WajahatAli Wow, too on the nose!

Short read of this morning's opinion on presidential immunity: It's up to American voters. We held Trump accountable at the polls in 2020 & must do it again in 2024. Because the Supreme Court won't.

Oh @Delta , a 3-hr delay in one direction and 4-hr delay in another. Sad bookends to this vacation 💀

@iusedtobepoor I love his account, and also, FWIW, the students in my linguistics class LOVED your essay, How COVID-19 Gave Me Back My Southern Accent! They even cited it at semester’s end as one of the ways they learned about an unfair language hierarchy 😊
