I suspect he will be awarded the Nobel for exactly that reason. The international community fears him but our own country- a collection of ignorant racist peckerwoods- is to blame for returning him to power. I will be shocked if I awake tomorrow and Norway hasn’t named him. It’s fucking over.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Lol the Nobels can't even acknowledge women's contribution to discovery. But sure let's acknowledge The Machines.

Headline from an article in Nature this week that states "Prizes must recognize machine contributions to discovery. The future of science will be written by humans and machines together. Awards should reflect that reality."

Keep your corrupt, grubby, abusive hands off Tish James, Donald Trump.

Your cowardice is showing — weak men seek revenge on powerful women who hold them to account.

But NY’rs don’t play. Our AG has been a fierce warrior for our rights, time & again. You better believe we’ll be there for hers.

I honestly do not get this trend. Some indie artists we quite like - mostly in the ambient genre - have taken to using AI for album art and it's both deeply disappointing and altogether baffling. License some actual artist's work. Use something in the public domain. Take a damn picture w/your phone.

Is there a better indication of how superficial and unhelpful mainstream media has become than that they are cutely musing about whether the domestic terrorist who changed "The Department of Defense" to "The Department of War" will get a Nobel Peace Prize—instead of reporting the fascism/terrorism.

If you're a California voter, please vote YES ON 50 and send that ballot back ASAP so the volunteers don't waste any time on you. And maybe volunteer if you have the time.

Sweet Californians, send those ballots back ASAP, so the volunteers don't need to bother with you.

What an epically typical douchebag sketch from the more often than not punch down tone deaf SNL. They get way more credit than they deserve, while their most outrageous sins are largely forgotten. This clip is an excellent reminder of the show’s general character.
