No better quote from Merrick Garland summarizes why he was the wrong man for the job than this from his farewell speech.
From start to finish, he brought norms to a Trump fight and democracy suffered.

Just wondering if there’s one hand towel in the bathroom, am I the only one that goes for the middle least accessible part to use?
If everyone does the same, it’s kinda moot.

At some point, in the future, if humankind still exists, they will look back at the species enthrallment with religious delusions, and laugh, like one does after coming through a ludicrous spate of bad luck.
"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

Any doubt Tulsi Gabbard is fearing if Assad falls?
Bolton: It's going to be very interesting to see what the files that may be uncovered in the Syrian government, if the rebels succeed in capturing Damascus, what they show about a number of Americans.

The world’s richest 1% have more wealth than the bottom 95% put together, according to Oxfam.
There is no moral justification for this extraordinary level of inequality.
It's distorting politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.

This is why a “populist” demagogue was elected president. But for all the wrong reasons.
Wow.
This video is truly eye-opening.
Take a couple minutes to watch this.
A mind-boggling visual representation of wealth inequality in America.
This sh*t ain’t workin’, folks. #TaxBillionaires #UnionsForAll

Most distressing about this incoming administration is the outright immorality of its constituents. Fornicators, rapists, thieves, liars, thugs, scammers, depraved, spiteful hypocrites and hedonists all; all compromised and corrupt.
What age is this?
I can’t even let my kids watch the news.

The big news is not that Gaetz isn’t going to be AG, but rather that he’s a free man at all.

The trait all Trump’s picks have in common is loyalty.
He’s not picking people to fill positions, he’s picking positions to fill with his people.

Does Elonia truly think his ideas are better for humankind, are does he just love being close to the power?

I used to think, sure, America can survive 4 years of Trump, no problem. But 4 more, I’m not so sure.

Nightsky visualizes posts as stars in the sky: the longer the post, the bigger the star.
I made a thing!
I was playing around with the AT protocol and as a little experiment I made a website that visualises activity around Bluesky: nightsky.hctr.dev
It listens to all new posts and shows them as little stars across a night sky 🌃
Every star is someone, somewhere, posting something

I’ve waited 8 years for accountability amidst the constant deluge of narcissistic abuse. Disappointment, hopelessness, and now anger, surprisingly more at those that failed so completely to hold him accountable. It really was a simple thing, if anyone actually wanted to do it.

I really wish there was a smaller word for ‘ultracrepidarian’, so people would use it more.
