When I talk about the negative consequences of the internet, I don’t mean the internet is fundamentally bad or that it should be destroyed or that people shouldn’t be able to connect at scale. What I mean is that the most popular internet platforms have been weaponized to incentivize bad behavior
Hey Elon,
We will take your money, but you can’t buy our votes.
Love,
Wisconsin 😘
He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.
Wisconsin gave Elon Musk and Donald Trump the finger tonight.
Time for every state to follow suit.
Tonight, between Booker and the Florida results, is a night to remember that the unraveling of American democracy is not inevitable. Trumpism’s vision for the future is not inevitable. We have a voice—and a vote too.
Walz: "It's so obscene that he would put a mock classroom -- we all know he's never been in one. He wouldn't last for a minute. He's surrounded by people who know nothing about education. They want to make this about bureaucracy and cutting. This is about children."
Hello Dells!
Feels hopeless this time with no “resistance” vibe. Personally, I’m focusing on family, hobbies, and work that I enjoy. I don’t have a sense of “one day this will pass”. Hope is a beautiful thing. I’m not sure I have any left.
In the first term, I found solace, for lack of a better word, in laughing at the state of this country. This time, I don’t see the humor.
Enjoy your VD!
Closing the Department of Education would send power back to the states, but not in the way they want you to think.
States have always set their own curriculum.
The power they want is the power to discriminate based on special needs, income level, and LGBTQ status with no government oversight.
Listen friends - gather your hope where you can. People showed up in all 50 states on a moments notice. Voicemail boxes of senators are filling up. Lawsuits are being filed.
Look at all the good people.
And do not forget to take care of yourselves. Seriously. This is a long haul.
Repeat after me.
Eliminating the Department of Education will hurt public schools and the kids who need help the most, AND THAT IS THE POINT.
Normalize being nice.
Jessica: He had a campaign rally in the middle of what should have been a somber occasion. And these DEI policies were put in place in 2013. He had every opportunity through his first administration to revoke them if he thought they were terrible, but he didn't.
I don’t think he could stay focused long enough to hear the question, much less verbalize a response that would have any meaning.
Fuck. I keep hearing people say moderate your outrage. Good advice. I can’t fucking moderate my outrage at THIS.
Go Stef!
“See you in two weeks” didn’t exactly hold true did it? 🤪
You’re too kind. I’m just a normal dude/fan. 🤪
*eyeroll. Same for Boise St coach and anyone else that spouts that kinda delusion.
Maybe. But no shame in back to back titles. (Not my team but my team-in-law.)
Your weekly reminder that they have been saying we’re broke for decades. Both parties. Yet somehow there’s always money for war, and they found $31 TRILLION.
Why? BECAUSE WE ARE NOT BROKE.
Let’s talk about how to invest in ourselves, not fearmonger about the debt as rich people get richer.
A Times Square billboard showing squid game footage over the woman singing Imagine is probably the perfect way to ring in 2025.
But but but they were so good against GA Southern, Portland St, and Hawaii
OH MY GOD BOISE COACH YOU DO NOT NEED TO THANK JESUS FOR BEING DOWN TEN TO PENN STATE
UNLESS YOU’RE THANKING HIM FOR NOT BEING DOWN MORE
