If we are pals or were friends on Twitter, but I haven't followed you back, feel free to reply here or DM me. I am easily overwhelmed and miss things and have a terrible working memory :)

I know this administration lies to us constantly, and about far more horrifying things, but man, ”China has more to lose than the U.S. in a trade war” is the kinda whopper that’s so untrue it’s almost funny. Ans the lie is gonna affect a lot of business-minded people!

i think trump could beat me with charisma and legal maneuvering, and stephen miller has the gift of unpredictable and creative cruelty that would be my downfall, but i would defeat vance, hegseth, and rfk jr in any format

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

I remember when some conservative dipshit on Twitter was like "we're taking back rainbows from the left" and obviously it didn't work, but also rainbows represent gays and God's promises*, things that are not at odds in the first place <3

*Genesis translation might be "war bow" in the sky anyway...

My husband Daniel teaches middle school and he is about at his limit of "SIIIIX-Seven!" As a math teacher, the problem is even worse. If you don't know about 6-7, you're lucky, but your time is probably running short. Gen Alpha slang doesn't have to even make sense at all!!!

If the online chatter is correct, Trump is on the verge of accomplishing something that may genuinely better the planet:

1. A real ceasefire for Palestine
2. Dying

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it
One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.

I'm excited for Limp Bizkit, but I'm a little worried about Antifa...
Question
I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city
