@crankbunny How dare you!

I'll never understand the idea that wind turbines are an eyesore. They look amazing, a magical expedient by which wind is rendered visible, and a manifestation of the human ingenuity we desperately need to encourage and incentivise if we stand any chance of saving ourselves.

This whole charade is so depressing. Not as depressing as the outcome, but a different and very specific kind of depressing.

[b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie]

this is the kind of shit you say when you know the arguments have almost no bearing on the outcome

[John Robertson @jbrtwo]

RIP to the best

@ecoopersmith @mikegolicjr You know what they say about kickers.

@MLfromdeep You could always burn some furniture if it gets bad.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Or maybe a billionaire-fueled propaganda channel that regularly generates high volumes of death threats to elected officials while pumping propaganda for an extreme right-wing that openly embraces fascism is what’s creating “the environment where it happened”

Chicago has officially dropped Kanye as a spokesperson

@ecoopersmith @dicknivers You’re just my own beautiful snowflake.

[Will Stancil @whstancil]

the reason you could feel momentum shifting against Dems before the polls really changed is that the negative media buzz you were sensing is actually the thing that drives the polls

RIP to a great one

My father, Peter Schjeldahl, passed away today peacefully of lung cancer. He will be buried privately. In March there will be a memorial service honoring his life and work. My mother and I are grateful for all the messages and will be in touch when we can.

@MongoIndustries I’m not entirely sure how you know I’m not mommy, but you’ve always been insightful.

[John Robertson @jbrtwo]

It me

[Kevin The Dad @kevinthedad]

Based on the feedback I’ve been given my biggest failing as a parent is that I’m “not mommy”

#OnThisDay in 1859 abolitionist John Brown and his followers launched a raid on the United States Arsenal at Harpers Ferry in an effort to arm Black men and wage a war on the institution of slavery. 🧵

Happy birthday Bobby you sainted fella

[Steve Silberman @stevesilberman]

Happy birthday @BobWeir! I basically grew up standing in front of this handsome guy on the right in @GratefulDead, listening hard to what the band was laying down. Thank you for a real good time, Bob, and good health and joy to you and yours. [Photo by me, Warfield SF 10/9/80.]

Beyond American Movie Mike Schank devoted his life to those struggling with addiction and helped a plethora of people with their recovery, recently celebrating his 27th year sober, Mike was much more than just a character. Rest in peace

The most exhausting and demoralizing consumer experience of my life has been trying to get a bed (and now, trying to get refunded for said bed) from @westelm. I still am not sure if maybe I’m on some kind of Punk’d-esque hidden camera show.

[John Robertson @jbrtwo]

@crankbunny @amalialevari Apparently Gen Z finds the thumbs up passive aggressive and triggering. To which I naturally wish to respond 👍
