"Trump does hilarious Sleepy Joe impression for 20 minutes - showing stamina of much younger man" - NYT, probably.
What say you, @nytpitchbot.bsky.social ?
DEMENTIA ALERT- Trump gave his worst speech ever tonight. He was yelling, mispronouncing words and slurring. He was struggling to stay standing during the 18 minute rant. His tone was like a broken robot. He looked like shit. He spewed delusional lies. He won’t finish his term.

I worked in a UK school. After Brexit we cancelled all trips to the EU because there was so much red tape and so much risk involved (waiting months for visas to dribble in and some didn't arrive), and the Turing programme didn't help at all. This is fantastic news and a bargain. Mail can suck it.
It’s exactly this kind of dismal, prejudiced bollox from the Daily Mail that’s got us into the ruinous Brexit mess we’re in. What a moronic response to us rejoining Erasmus and all the benefits that brings. If they’re really worried about cost, they should push to cancel Brexit altogether.

I don't like a woman who's too complex.
But not too simple, either.

Does... does he think that South America was once part of... (The United States of) America?
1. A blockade is an act of war

2. The idea that Venezuela has stolen land from the United States is so laughably stupid on its face that even some of his base is like 🤨

3. It’s always about oil.

The real reason for Brexit was to safeguard vast hidden, fortunes from EU tax laws.

Nah, if you put "Designated Terrorist Organisations" in Title Case this makes the executions legal.

Someone remind her the 9/11 attacks were perpetrated by Saudis, mostly. Y'know, Dump's best bud MBS's country.
A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker.

This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

Rob Reiner was the best of us. RIP.
An unapologetic ally through and through. Thank you, Rob Reiner. May you and Michele rest in power.

Wanted to make a longer post about the mass shooting at Brown and found this post about Sandy Hook from 2012 and how sad is it that I can literally copy paste the exact same post because gun violence has only gotten worse without federal legislation to stop the ~40K annual preventable gun deaths.😓

My god, the world has been truly fucked over, massively, in myriad ways, by a handful of mediocre white men. It's insane.

"Why, sometimes the president does six impeachable things before breakfast!"
(with apologies to Lewis Carroll)
This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

Finally watched Die Hard for the first time, I'm late 50s. Decent film, I can see why it was highly acclaimed. Always loved Bruce so not sure why I didn't bother before: the violence I guess, but it wasn't awful.
