Happy #truckerstrike eve to those who celebrate. Stock up your pantry and fill up your gas tank while you still can!

I have a colleague, nearing retirement, with no partner or heirs. He posts #AI photos of himself and his dog nearly every day, making himself appear 30 years younger and 80 pounds lighter. There is no reason for this; he WAS a performer, but is not seeking work. Just burning it all down bc why not.

I'm officially hoarding ethanol-free #gasoline for the coming fuel crisis. Added 10 more gallons to the collection this morning. I've also been gradually stocking up on shelf-stable foods (which has been weird, because I'm normally an "outer aisles" person at the grocery store) #fucktrump

Introduce yourself with 10 acts or bands you've seen Live Bon Iver (5×) Metallica (2×) Tom Petty The Cult (2×) Metric Iron Maiden Sylvan Esso (3×) Wilco (2×) Robert Plant/Alison Krauss John Prine 10 acts is not nearly enough to capture the vastness and diversity of my concert-going life

Happy Father's Day to me, presumably, from these weirdos: my only living children. They're both teenagers now, and the black one has kidney disease, but I like to think that they're pretty happy here (and they're certainly well-loved).

I know it's still too early in northern zone 6, but I've had peppers, tomatoes, and tomatillos in the ground for a few weeks already. Yesteday, I finally got carrot, radish, spinach, and spring onion seeds planted. This is absolutely the wrong order in which to do these things. #midwest #gardening

You know, it's starting to seem a little bit fucked up that trump continues to appoint the absolute least qualified people in the country for these high-level jobs and then they get confirmed for those jobs. He's a #plumber ffs. #MarKwayne #idiocracy

This may not be relatable to many people, but there are few things more infuriating than a tech rehearsal for which you are the only technician who is prepared/competent. I just wait, and wait, and wait some more. #theater #music #dance

Happy #caturday from this dude, who is slowly dying of kidney disease but whose interest in yogurt remains unabated. For the record, he strongly opposes the unjustified US attacks on Iran.

Black folks, pay attention. You’re about to see the media attempting to isolate and spotlight us when talking about SNAP strategically. They will try to create the narrative that “only Black people are on government assistance.” Even though the data says otherwise. 👇🏾

Y'all I am extremely privileged and grateful to report that I have Covid. Not because I have it--it fucking sucks--but because IT'S MY FIRST TIME. Vaccines, a little education, and a general (but not phobic) aversion to germs seem to have protected me for all this time. Trust scientists!!!

Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified" This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again." She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post

A Chinese national, charged with fraud by the SEC, just sent Donald Trump $18 million
Chinese Crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun paid $6.2 million for a banana — sold by Sotheby's as conceptual art — and then ate it last Friday.

Biden should test the limits of Presidential immunity and force SCOTUS to issue rulings limiting Presidential powers. Get that precedent on the books now. Don't let Trump be the test case, BE the test case yourself. You know SCOTUS won't limit him, but they will limit you, & thus him. DO SOMETHING.

It only took Ron Desantis and Chris Rufo two years to wreck this once outstanding college. It was too woke. Had too many LBGT students. So they took it over and wrecked it while enriching their cronies along the way.
