Reading #TheGlassHotel by @EmilyMandel , and came across a passage that envisions a different timeline"... where the Georgia flu blossomed into an unstoppable pandemic and civilization collapsed." Now I'm trembling.

It's apparently a newly controversial position, but American Jews should have the right BOTH to support the state of Israel as the redeemed national homeland of the Jewish people AND ALSO not to have their children murdered by depraved gunmen.

@OlenaRohoza yes.

@hughlaurie @Husker_Ju @LoganLevkoff Not to mention, you're an actor. You act. I don't think people understand that actors are not portraying themselves. They're roles, not confessions, for heaven's sake.

@hughlaurie I didn't know her, but it's a terrible thing. May her name be a blessing.

As Bezos destroys the Washington Post book section, a reminder that the more people don't read books, the further the culture drifts toward the intellectual level of Andrew Tate or Destiny

@KeithOlbermann @PeteHegseth Thank you for speaking truth.

[Symone D. Sanders Townsend @SymoneDSanders]

Dems have apparently been walking out silently, but it is not being shown on television.

@SymoneDSanders @JoyceWhiteVance That’s a shame. I’d feel better if I saw it. As it is, I feel like hell. And, by the way, I have heard of Lesotho…

I have heard of Lesotho.

Unelected billionaire Elon Musk continues to expand his power grab, and this time he wants Americans’ most sensitive information, including their Social Security numbers and banking information.

We should all be asking why he wants it. https://t.co/9BqjS3TwrJ

@JoyceCarolOates Don’t forget that Trump is literally a madman. He has zero brainpower, only animal stamina. But I think we’ll see him age even faster than Biden. In a way, we can just sit back & watch prices go up & disasters happen and then bring in a Democratic wave in the midterms.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

FBI Director nominee Kash Patel promised no retribution. The next day, we have this grotesque purge at the FBI.

Bondi said she would examine pardons on a case by case basis.

Then Trump gave 1550 pardons overnight.

Their confirmation commitments mean nothing.

[Senator Alex Padilla @SenAlexPadilla]

Trump just ordered two dams open to levels that would have flooded Central Valley communities and farms – all to justify his lies about the LA fires.

These rivers don’t even flow to Los Angeles.

The incompetence isn’t just staggering, it’s dangerous. And I’m demanding answers.

@MichaelSteele And exactly how are his cult followers going to deal with that? Maybe they'll emulate him, like they emulated the bandage on his *ahem* bloody ear.
