My refusal to participate in the reboot of Mark #Zuckerberg as the internet's Cool Friend should not be taken as support of Elon #Musk in any way, but can we not fall for another smirking fascist with his shirt off?
I’M GONNA YELL A LOT.

I’m gonna say this here because it comes off like I’m defending Musk if I say it on Twitter & saying it on Threads is what they want.
STOP TRYING TO REHABILITATE MARK ZUCKERBERG INTO SOME KIND OF COOL FUN MAN OF THE PEOPLE.
Facebook joined up with Cambridge Analytica to play a huge part in spiking the 2016 election & turn all our parents’ brains to cracked bowls of screamgravy.
I fucking hate Musk but that shit is worse than anything he’s done.
Yet, anyway.

You know, it really says something how apoplectic the Emerald Emperor is over #Threads.
It says #Musk didn’t actually buy #Twitter as part of some grand conspiracy to deliberately destroy it. He’s not that good an actor.
It says he really just knows that little about how to run a business vs how to run his personal PR.
It says all the smug free speech & pro-free market twaddle was nothing but mouth-farts, but we knew that.
I can’t believe this guy was so worshipped.

OH MY GOD LOOK WHAT I JUST FOUND IN THE #BAYCON DEALERS’ ROOM!
I’m so completely delighted! I, big dumb #Trekkie, wrote that thing back when Twitter was fun! Ahh!
(Actually my brother found it and played it all smooth and casual like he didn’t know because he is the best)

All these GOP no-hope candidates have the same problem, the same one they had in 2016.
They need to attack Trump, but they won’t because they want his base. They’re afraid of going hard against him.
So they mewl around aimlessly like weak gormless dorks, with nothing to talk about but policy, which they’re bad at & GOP voters don’t care about anyway.
Trump doesn’t have to give a fuck so he calls them names & the media giggles adoringly. They’ve got nothing but hate, & he does that better.

It has come to my attention that my four year old son has secretly created and is performing his own original dance routine to Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash for his preschool show and tell today.

If teachers could actually indoctrinate & brainwash students on any level, there’d never be a missed homework assignment, behavior problem, dropout, or grade lower than an A
History happened & please don’t be awful to other humans isn’t “woke” but also, they barely listen to liberal mind-control like “put your name on your paper” so…

It’s cool how Republicans couldn’t come together over who should be Speaker but they’re all-in arms linked one big happy family when it comes to deliberately and maliciously driving the world economy off a cliff.

I think I need for realsies glasses, not just reading glasses.
Goddammit. Growing up is trash.

If the GOP has decided drag & trans folk existing is the wheel they want to break this country on

I don’t know why everyone suddenly has amnesia about the fact that #CNN was bought by a conservative asshole & is just hoping you won’t notice long enough to radicalize you based on the network’s former reputation, inertia, & brand loyalty.
Nothing like #Twitter, of course.

My 4yr old saw Bolivia on a map & is now obsessed with it. He wants to go there “at the end of May please we can go then because it’s AFTER your birthday” & learn everything about it & talks Bolivia every day. He says “I think it is the country of all my dreams!”
Well…not actually going to fly to La Paz in three weeks, so…does anyone in/from Bolivia follow me who might want to make a little video message for him?

I just wandered around for 20 minutes looking for the drink I brought in from the porch, finally gave up and poured a new one, then immediately found the first one.
Such is life.

Britney Spears was put into a 20 year conservatorship for far less unhinged behavior than Elon Musk is showing on a daily basis.
Get that guy an umbrella and a shaved head.

I swear to god every American household must have been issued these bowls by the government in the 70s and 80s.
I never bought this. Truly. It just APPEARED when I bought a house.

I wanted cumin lamb like I get in NYC.
But I didn’t have lamb.
So I did the exact same recipe with chicken thighs and shiitake mushrooms and no regrets may approach the premises.
God DAMN this was good.

This one’s strictly for my non-American friends:
What would you say is the classic popular sitcom produced by/ your country? The equivalent of Friends or Cheers or even I Love Lucy?
And what’s your/your parents’ favorite episode?
PS not looking for too much in the way of UK shows, I’m pretty up to speed on those
