These people are dangerous zealots (sort of as Susie Wiles has put it), and every decent person must stand up to stop them.

As congressional hearings go on in public today and can be watched live online by everyone, Jack Smith is testifying behind closed doors despite his written request to appear in public because Republicans don’t want the American people (again) to hear him destroy their lies.

There should be a constitutional mechanism for removing a president. Not impeachment, something that actually works, maybe like a catapult

The people that adopted Nettle yesterday decided they couldn’t split her and Pyewacket up after seeing them together at the adoption center, and decided to come back and adopt him, too! I’m so happy two of my little found-family foster kids will get to keep growing up together! 😭

Who is it on this app that sets the #BirdOfTheDay themes? I want to follow that person so I can, occasionally, get involved.

I can see that todays alternative is #WinterBirds, so here's a robin on a snowy branch in the Scottish Highlands

As the most overpaid podcaster in human history, I'm guessing he felt a little chill run down his spine
the “you should love ai” line is best outlined by a recent joe rogan episode. he LOVES ai music and always tells guests this. a guest pushed back on him saying “i’ve heard ai podcasts are amazing too” and joe rogan immediately pushes back. losers love it until it comes for them

An important point #authors need to talk about: there are NO PAPERBACKS anymore. I’m at WW Norton and Harper Collins. They release hardbacks and ebooks and audio. Frequently they do NOT do a paperback at all. If they do, #books get remaindered. Unless you are a bestseller, you may never get one.
