Just posting this again because I can: a new humanity, forged in the crucible of intergalactic war has spread throughout the galaxy; among them are millions of Muslims who must return to Earth for Hajj. Meet the crew: 🧵
I think we need to start a GoFundMe so that every journalist who says "Fuck you, Mr. President, answer the question," gets a $5000 bounty. Largely because I think that man needs to be told "fuck you" on a much more regular basis.

I HATE NYC; But this man reminds why it's great: People. You'll hear seven languages in two blocks. You can pet a bodega cat, Ghostbusters HQ is there and some guy might ask you and 3 others to help him gently push his mother-in-laws car away from the curb 'cause it's too tight for her to drive away
GM: Charisma check.

Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

I know art is how we process negative emotions, but I do yearn for the era of excessive pouches.

Remember Crazy White Guy is a *character class* and not an alingment. “So apparently white Americans in Minneapolis are putting Mexican flags on their cars so ICE agents waste time pulling them over. They call it ICE fishing. 🤣😂”

ALLLLL OF THIS
Something we lose by using machine translators over human translators is context. I have a Filipino character and I was writing a scene of him talking to his mom. I ran it through Google translate, but I also decided to talk to my boss, who is from the Philippines. WAY better results!

Anyone got any pointers on how to make my feed a little... less... world on firey? Don't get me wrong, it's good to be informed, but I think I fucked it up somehow because I don't see ANYTHING about the Muppets, Chappell Roan, Spider-Man (Parker, Morales or even O'Hara, FFS), Star Trek or Star Wars

I’d say “fight me” but the kind of piss baby man that says he would fight me will just type a lot and call it fighting.

I admit that Shame (2011) is in my top 5, and that doesn't make me a bad person. I saw it on a first date in the theater because McQueen is lowkey one of the greatest to ever do it, and we were both fans. We mutually ghosted" after that, but it changes meaning every time I see it.

As a Navy lawyer, DeSantis found a loophole to ‘legally’ force feed ‘Gitmo’ prisoners. Spun as hunger strikes were a form of terror perpetrated upon the US guards.

Dumas' FATHER was born to a French count and an enslaved African women in Haiti. The Père was then brought to France, was educated, served in the military, etc.

"The Black Count" is a fantastic book about him.

His son is the author Alexander Dumas, and he based Count of Monte Cristo on his Dad.🇭🇹

Should we just check to see which team has the most white players and give them the win this Super Bowl to ensure a lack of DEI and then have kid rock sing about how much he likes statutory rape, dealing drugs and being a fake cowboy for two hours?

One of the most inane, vapid and facile phrases I’ve ever heard is “power doesn’t travel,” which tells me someone doesn’t believe in electricity and/or never heard of Mansa Musa.

I know the "big lie" is a method; repeat a lie often enough, and it becomes common sense. Have we tried "big truth," yet?

This is a common misconception, but legalizing apartments everywhere does not force apartments to be built.

They will only get built if there’s unmet demand to live in them.
Not everyone wants to live in apts.

I know the YIMBYs have a hard time understanding this.

Whenever Trump is asked about the Epstein Files, he runs scared, lies, & lashes out at reporters, especially the female members of the media.

I share my thoughts on why Trump’s terror over the Epstein Files is a tell & why mainstream media needs to get its shit together.
