THE RULES - simplified version
(useful for staying calm when DOTUS & Co speak)

1) They lie.
2) They use the Shiny/Horrifying Object Tactic to distract.
3) They employ the I'm Rubber You're Glue Principle.

Promote awareness. Pic ⤵ provided for easy sharing.

Multiple accounts that Smith is preparing a report and that Garland will release it publicly, all before the inauguration.

[Steve Pfouts@ SteveP-Funk @StevePFUNK1]

@MakeyWate Weather Report Suite, Here Comes The Sunshine, That's It For The Other One, Eyes, Morning Dew, Viola Lee Blues, there's even multi year PITB and Dark Star as far as live. Most Pigpen Love Lights are over 20 minutes, 40 minute NFA's, hell I think the Truckin' at Englishtown is ~20

But one of them is really three books or maybe four books if you count the Hobbit.

And one of them I read in French

How many have you read?

Hi, ER Doc here.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but going outside in the cold with your hair wet does NOT cause pneumonia. Please tell your friends and grandmothers about this.

Debates? Primaries?

All DOTUS did was bully people
This is Leo and McConnel's fault

[HollyGolightly @hollygolytlee]

@JStein_WaPo The mere fact that we are discussing this is batshit crazy. It was never debated or brought up during the primaries, and only now are we learning how the reins have been turned over to the unvetted, unelected manic Elon and his DOGE so he can break the US gov't and go to Mars.

Join all of us on Team Hornsby in wishing Bruce a very happy 70th birthday! Here's to more music, memories, and joyful noisemaking for years to come. Thanks for everything, Bruce! 🎂

How was I this blind to what this was really about for so long?

Why can so few people who aren't Jews see it?

Why did I dismiss everyone who tried to tell me as a racist?

[Brianna Wu @BriannaWu]

Look, my top issue I vote on is national security. The American people need these allegations looked at seriously.

Someone compromised as DNI would be disastrous for the country.

People are breaking down on TikTok because they just realized Obamacare *is* the Affordable Care Act.

The heartbreaking part? So many have pre-existing conditions.

One man admitted he voted for Trump without knowing it was Obamacare that allowed his mother with stage 4

To me, the above looks much better than wearing a rough hunting tweed (casual, sport) decorated with leather elbow patches (fake, affected) with a shiny satin tie (evening, formal), a white dress shirt (formal, business), and a pair of light-washed jeans (casual).

[SparkleTea @SparkleTea]

Bonus points for bringing up Bowie 🥰

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

Look at the more creative dressers of the past: David Bowie in a white linen double suit with spectator shoes. Or Jimi Hendrix in a blue velvet suit with black side zip boots. These outfits are totally coherent in terms of formality, use, style, and cultural meaning.

[SparkleTea @SparkleTea]

Thinking this over, it's an interesting move.
This may prevent SCOTUS from getting their grubby little hands on the case while having it ready to go as a hammer, in the future.

And it's certainly not what he wants 😂😎

[Not a Good Jewish Girl✡️ @estherzelda0514]

I'm not a lawyer but I think it's NOT FUCKING NORMAL for a prosecutor to convict you of 34 felonies and just be "jk it doesn't count, we'll just not sentence you, tee hee." Like what the fuck is this bootlicking bullshit?

[Alex גדעון בן װעלװל @JewishWonk]

Biden has his flaws but I am pretty mad at a lot of people who tried to paint this man as anti-Israel.

I doubt we will see another president who in his kishkes loves Israel.

This was written by a German woman a year ago. She was trying to warn democracies about fascist tactics. On the left is her concern (translated) and on the right is an infographic she created to teach people how "flooding the zone with shit" works. Which is where we are now.

We’ve now reached the historical moment when Denmark is unquestionably tougher and more realistic in international affairs than any leader of the Republican Party.
