You should buy my book! It's about philosophy of mind. The critics are raving: "not nearly the slog I thought it would be."

Somewhere in a Roman brickyard, around 1800 years ago, a fresh tile was drying ahead of firing - until a dog trotted straight across it.
Centuries later, the tile has made it into a museum: not because of an emperor, but thanks to one dog who accidentally walked his way into history.🧵1/2

It really isn’t said enough how much these people straight up hate America. People should say this a lot more frequently. They simply don’t like the good parts of modern American life.
"Sources in the Trump administration have previously told Zeteo that officials will at times intentionally use popular music from vocally anti-Trump performing artists, in order to trigger a negative response from a famous liberal and provide further amplification of their pervasive culture war,"
NEWS: The Trump-Vance White House is attacking Sabrina Carpenter.
In a new statement, the White House — led by Trump, a liable sexual abuser mired in scandal for ties to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — suggests Carpenter is "stupid" and is defending pedophiles and rapists.

I don’t understand why Hemingway got to drink himself to death while writing a manifesto in a house full of cats but when I do it it’s “a maladaptive coping mechanism” and I “need to talk to someone”

Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

Why do they always shame the raccoons for normal relatable behavior
A raccoon was found passed out in the bathroom of the Virginia ABC Store in Ashland after breaking in and ransacking shelves, according to Hanover County Animal Protection and Shelter.

Anyway China is absolutely kicking our ass. It has made a clear-eyed strategic decision to pursue a clean economy & is investing accordingly. We're flailing around like drunken dipshits, suppressing our domestic renewables, shoveling subsidies at coal, & killing random Venezuelan fishermen.

Republicans fear their base, Democrats despise theirs. Jeffries et. al. are all like, "You silly excitable children have no idea how politics works. Now sit down, shut up, and let the grown-ups get back to cowering under their desks in the fetal position."
“Republicans will never allow…”
That’s true of all of the Democratic agenda. You just talked your way out of pushing for anything.

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.
