The BEST
Visited the one at Catskill Art Space a few years ago, and a woman sitting next to us in the complete darkness as her eyes adjusted said (loudly), “is this it?”
Nice
There are more of us than there are of them.
And you’re a coward who helped him.
“Tell your children who the cowards were.”
“They’ve got money for ICE and golden ballrooms but not for hungry families” is so easy it’s almost funny

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.
I do not think it is wise, kind, or appropriate for a social media CEO to troll members of her own userbase over their concerns about moderation and safety in a time of rising fascism.

-send energy costs soaring
-add $3.3 trillion to national debt
-raise health care premiums for seniors
