Thank heavens there are brave young people willing to call out the rot in the system we are all in.

Paul Eric Scannell @pauleric70.bsky.social · 4d

Damn... This was really brave and perfectly executed. The way you guys planted multiple people all around the room and spoke up one at a time overwhelmed their security. This was brilliant. I respect it.💙👏😎

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Operation Gray Rock delivered with military precision. Control your communication when dealing with narcissists.

Narcissists thrive on emotional reactions and attention. Deny them their 'narcissistic supply'.

The 'Gray Rock' method involves making yourself as uninteresting as possible.

They don’t just obviously lie. They so ridiculously and moronically exaggerate their lies, based in the theory that the bigger the lie, the more likely the gullible will believe it.

Stephen Miller: "What James Comey did is truly one of the most severe assaults on our freedoms and liberties that has occurred in the whole history of this nation."

Brought to you by the man whose genius can kill all known germs dead during a pandemic when injected, and who has the ability to slash drug prices by 1,500%. He's a medical miracle.

I wrote a Limerick for him as someone in the UK:

A POTUS once came to our shores
There were boos and jeers, not applause
From his office of bling
He thought he was king
We've our own problems, keep yours

It was an inspirational evening - as my son would say, not so much preaching to the choir as rallying the choir - and it certainly did that 💚🩵🤘

It's not so bad after all. All lies are untruths. But not all untruths are lies. He may just be mistaken a lot of the time.

If you kept being mistaken though, maybe invest in education. Or not.

Sorry, please ignore me. I'm just trying, and failing again, to make sense of the world before bedtime.

Williams was a photographer for Jet magazine. He took the photo himself. The OG selfie. Iconic.

Orangeburg, South Carolina, 1956

Young Black man in a patterned shirt leans over a metal water fountain labeled “WHITE ONLY,” drinking directly from it. His gaze meets the camera, capturing a bold act of defiance against segregation during the Jim Crow era.

I'm reminded of that guy in the Matrix trilogy who having taken the red pill eventually couldn't cope with the reality he saw, and wanted to go back.

I am thankful I took the red pill years ago, and will never go back, no matter how bat shit crazy it all gets....

- you clean up that banksy?
- sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains.

Side-by-side images of Banksy’s mural on the Royal Courts of Justice in London. On the left, the artwork appears faded and scrubbed, leaving only a ghostly outline of a judge raising a gavel over a protester holding a placard. On the right, the mural is fully visible in sharp black and white stencil, showing a judge in a traditional white wig and robes striking down at a protester who defends himself with a bloodied sign.
