Hassan Abdel Salam, a former professor at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities and co-founder of the Abandon Harris campaign, which endorsed Green Party candidate Jill Stein, said Trump's staffing plans were not surprising, but had proven even more extreme that he had feared. "It's like he's going on Zionist overdrive," he said. "We were always extremely skeptical...Obviously we're still waiting to see where the administration will go, but it does look like our community has been played."

Screenshot of a tweet by user @Merman_Melville from January 2019 that says the following. Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

I went through my full Twitter history. Goddamit there were a lot of posts about Covid and vaccines in 2020 and 2021. Must have been a big deal. The only one worth saving was a retweet.
Screenshot of a tweet from Finn Straley in June 2020, with the following text. For the historical record, the stages of quarantine have been: 1. Horniness 1b. Tiger King 2. Animal Crossing: New Horizons 3. Mass insurrection

banger of a tweet, this one, 10/10, nailed it
Screenshot of a tweet by me in Novermber 2019, that says the following. All these earnest discussions of the Tesla Cybertruck (I love it! I hate it!) assume the design won't change. I see it as a concept vehicle. I predict that the truck that eventually sells will be much more conventional, and probably will have a different name.

Forgive me, I posted this on Twitter before Musk took over and renamed the site.

"X is bad" and "X is now worse" are now both always true.
Screenshot of a tweet I wrote in February, 2022, which says the following. Some things I try to remember. "X is new" doesn't always mean "X is bad". "X has changed" doesn't always mean "X is now worse". "I don't like X" doesn't always mean "X is bad".

Compare and contrast the two articles on this page of my local newspaper, particularly the headlines, photo sizes, and article lengths.
