New word for our times created by @swilua.bsky.social:

Donkwaggle
däŋk waɡ(ə)l
noun, pejorative

a callow, self centered fool unaware of his own idiocy

"The donkwaggle spent 20 minutes explaining crypto currency erroneously."

Especially useful in social media settings. CC: @merriam-webster.com

Your plants are soooo good that they created their own little habitat. Those bugs don't just show up to any old leaves.

The power of positive engagement for $0. It’s more positive engagement using #aew so more folks search for #aew, the more they see the positive engagement with the incentive to have your tweet on tv for a few seconds. It costs little to no money and is a great marketing ROI.

Most of these social media posts they show on Dynamite and Collision are basically just

"I am enjoying this wrestling! 🔥🔥🔥💯💯 - @prowrestlingfan25"

I don't really get the point.

Gardener's dilemma

I just went outside to check on my milkweed & found a ton of aphids, which I sprayed off with the hose.

Then I found that caterpillars absolutely DESTROYED my basil plant!

This is the journey of #leavesisplants. Having delightful greenery, and feeding the wildlife with it. 😅

Jack Posobiec explicitly says that "Antifa" dates back to the Weimar Republic, explicitly acknowledging that this administration is opposed to those who resisted the arrival of Adolf Hitler in Power.

that donald trump was allowed to become president again after J6 is something we may never recover from as a nation

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

One of the (many) legal gaps that needs to be filled after this nightmare is over is to prohibit federal law enforcement agencies from using federal funds to create propaganda videos with anyone in custody. This is all about spectacle and content creation, remove the incentive and the means
