I’m not sure relitigating Covid is a great midterm election strategy, but I guess we will see!

Remember: Trump was president during Covid

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

It’s very clear, sadly, that if there was another Covid-style pandemic today, the level of total disinformation, misinformation, lies, cherry-picked quotes and documents, and conspiracies on this hellsite would mean tens of millions, not just millions, of dead Americans.

Fauci November 2020 Diary Entry

[Sarrah Bellus @sarrah_bellus]

Dr. Fauci sitting there and listening to the insane ramblings of Ron Johnson on Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine use for Covid without busting out laughing. Dr. Fauci is made of steel. We’d all be dead if the GOP had stayed in charge of the pandemic response.

WHY WOULD YOU SUE TO BLOCK THIS???

Jesus @MeghanMcCain you’ve lost your damn mind.

[Eric Idle @EricIdle]

He’s a dickhead.

[Political Punk @actingliketommy]

Elon Musk is suing a state for banning AI deepfakes of kids and women... in case you're wondering what kind of Epstein island motherfucker he is.

[Joe Thomas @joe97559604]

If only Dr. Fauci had talked about heroin helping him get through school and boasted about snorting cocaine off toilet seats, then MAGA could have accepted him to look after the health of their children.

You belong in a mental health facility.

Fun Fact: RFK Jr. and Donald Trump are in the Epstein files.

Anthony Fauci is not.

[Amy Aiello Lofgren @azsweetheart013]

You are an idiot. @megynkelly

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

As Measles cases hit a 35 year high, as a senseless war rages on with no exit plan, as gas climbs to record highs, and the Epstein files remain secret, the U.S. Senate is holding a hearing today to yell at Dr. Fauci and again push horse dewormer on the American public.

Sometimes I would wonder if Glen Hansard really existed….

Seriously, he was such an angelic presence… not otherworldly…in fact, very present this presence…
A smiling rascal if you needed him to be… this most musical and mischievous archangel of Ballymun… no airs, plenty of graces...

Of course, Glen was the shining star of the Christmas Eve busk… sometimes the only one reminding the rest of us that Christmas began with a refugee born in a manger, which is hardly a step from living on the street.

To be utterly yourself by being more interested in others - a clue for any of us trying out different personas. He really was who you thought he was. He could never walk by a person living rough without checking they were OK… and more than that, he worked very hard so that less people had to live on the streets in the first place.

When the crowds got bigger and for safety’s sake Glen had to agree to move the busk to a stage kindly provided outside The Gaiety Theatre, he would say 'we’ll give it our best but it’s not a busk if we’re not on the street!’ …because that’s who he was - a performer at eye level in any situation. The stage was a separation he wouldn’t recognize. Of all the grand and gigantic venues he and The Frames played, you sensed the street was his most favoured place to perform. And street people, his favourite audience.

Voice of the streets. A choir of angels in one man. The rest of us blessed to stand there beside our very own and very earthed Angel Gabriel… All of us welcome in his choir, whatever shape or form.

….and I’m telling myself this morning that if he never existed, then he can never cease to exist. For me, he will always be everywhere I see a coin spinning into an open guitar case.

May you rest in the peace you gave to so many.

RIP Glen Hansard

A tragic loss

Here he is singing Fairytale of New York at Shane McGowans funeral which is one of the greatest videos over

George Lopez: “I don’t follow the Lakers anymore. Mark Walter owns detention centers, runs them for profit. Also owns the Dodgers. As soon as I found that out, I disassociated myself from the Dodgers and the Lakers. I lost two teams in one week”

[Soma - Patron Saint of Christmas @SombraMapache]

Call me woke or whatever, but I don't think it's even vaguely reasonable to expect the literal mayor of NYC to be prohibited from attending a 9/11 memorial just because a handful of folks affected by it grew up to be malignant racists.

[John Bourscheid 🇺🇸 🚀 @bourscheid]

To confirm:

Tim Walz passed a bill in MN banning services that use AI to generate nude images of minors.

Elon Musk, through xAI, is suing to block this bill.

When we call MAGA pedophile protectors, this is what we are talking about.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Hi Senator are you wittingly or unwittingly throwing shade at @realDonaldTrump?
