Mine would be just be any IP. Disney Christmas, MCU Christmas...

What Christmas decoration theme could you announce that would let all your friends and family know you were being held hostage?

@okelay She was genuinely a generational talent in terms of leadership. Miss her sensible face!

“For decades, the shadowy Roman Catholic organization Opus Dei has recruited poor, rural girls in Argentina on the promise of education and a better life. Instead, they have ended up working for years with no pay.”

@janecoaston I mean, what if the people you're signaling to is Democratic leadership. Because the sucking it up has yielded nothing, so signaling frankly feels like a step up?

@JenInOveralls @NathanJRobinson What on earth makes you imagine Harris wants to help the people of Gaza? Be an unprincipled pragmatist if you must, but don't just invent things.

@ThiefPenitent @kevdog @ElieNYC Now. Either accept an amazing educational opportunity or prove yourself to be engaged in bad faith discourse. As you like.

It is with deep sadness that HEAL Palestine announces the killing of our Gaza Program Manager, Islam Hijazy, in Gaza today. She was the mother of two small children, and a humanitarian with the highest ethics and professionalism. Islam intentionally stayed in Gaza to help others. “My place is in Gaza serving my people,” she said when she started her leadership role with HEAL. HEAL Palestine is more dedicated than ever to serving Gaza, in her honor. Ceasefire now.

@sstarkm Honestly I have zero expectations left. They only oppose what is LITERALLY impossible to support.

@janecoaston People who watch awkwardly intimate movies on planes are truly free tho.

guy in this cafe has been trying to chat to two young girls and when he asked where they were from and what they were doing in liverpool they dramatically revealed that they’re doing mormon missionary work and are now trying to convert him. never seen a power move like it

@jdmarr96 @DanielGalef Somehow LBJ comes to mind just pragmatically murdering you first day because it's 'such a hassle.'

As this week draws to a close, I just want to take a few moments to reflect on the extraordinary impact prompted by @propublica journalism, as reported this week alone! 🎉

@guybranum Mint Mobile can't consistently deliver my calls in town, I seriously doubt they have that reach. Why do you think it's childish to exercise civic responsibility to express deeply held values? This is literally what voting is for.

[intellectual junk drawer @torncashmere]

@fakehistoryhunt Do kinda respect them sticking to their curatorial guns, though. It's good to know your values.

@3642hz @thctaurus It's weird because to me the word 'bitch' very clearly flagged it as a joke. I use bitch when storytelling in exactly this way, and am female.
