Mike Johnson reminds me of Smithers. Which means Trump is his Mr. Burns. And that’s pathetic .

I searched my photos for “flag” and found this. From Pulaski, TN, in March, 2018. Spring Break - I think I was headed to Chattanooga. Happy 250 America! #July4 #America250

Yay! Birthright upheld! Boo, it wasn’t 9-0. Meh, Baron is still a citizen.

It’s Juneteenth! Also known as National Republican Heads Explode Day.

Every time I say on any platform that someone is racist, I get some passive-aggressive note about “do you really want to post that?” And yet the racists get to let their freak flag fly.

There’s techno music in the courtyard. My neighbor is cleaning house. # Spain

I’m on a Spanish train. Guy across the aisle is listening to Trump’s idiot comments about Spain, on loop. Particularly the part about Spain having bad leadership. My stop can’t come quick enough.

Sorry, I missed when Congress authorized this war. When was that?

One thing about living in Spain they don’t tell you about - there is no skipping the Antonio Banderas Uber Eats ad on YouTube. You will watch it, and you will watch it again. And again. And again…

Over on the clock app, I suddenly find myself doing a lot of blocking. Lots of right-wing accounts showing up, generally defending ICE. It doesn’t feel the least bit organic.

My professional opinion as an historian of Latin America is oh my god what the hell? #Venezuela

The AI we are all being sold is not intelligent. It will never create anything new. No creativity means no intelligence. It’s just fancy indexing and word association programming. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I used to say Republicans don't care if we live or die. It is now clear that they want us to die.

So a lot is messed up because the Amazon cloud services are broken. A hundred-odd years ago we passed laws against monopolies for a reason.

It’s weird walking around and everything looks normal. Because it’s not. This country is coming apart. Trump is smashing it to bits, and the Republicans are cheering him on with glee. Our media is cowardly if not fully complicit, and most Democrats are sleepwalking. I’m losing faith.

If universities are hotbeds of radical leftist indoctrination, why was Charlie Kirk allowed to speak at them? Because truth is, almost anyone can speak at a college, particularly a state school. They just need a campus sponsor. You’re doing it outdoors? Usually even easier to get permission.

Turning Point USA made a literal watch list of professors, primarily women, queer folks and people of color, and made us targets of political violence. I’ve received hate mail and harassment and death threats off and on for nearly a decade in part due to that man’s organization so 🤷🏽‍♀️

Any word from the NRA? Shouldn’t they be fighting tyranny right about now? Probably packing their gear. That can take a while.

It's not artificial intelligence. It's a fancy word association program. Call things what they are.

Mom hands me a pepper from her garden. “Taste this to see how hot it is.” I cut off a tiny piece - and it’s very hot! I ask her what it is, and she says, “It’s called Ghost, or something like that.” Ok, thanks Mom.

There is no way you can police all the immigrants in America without policing all Americans. There is no way you increase ICE's budget ten times without ICE becoming an occupying army. An occupying army not restrained by any court, and only loyal to Trump. Yes, it's fascism.

What does the owl app and Democratic fundraisers have in common? Emails that sound like they come from stalkers.

When you get your fingerprints done at the post office, don’t press down on the screen. Pro tip.

Before the election I said Republicans don’t care if you live or die. Now it’s clear, they actually want you to die.

I know it's been said but it bears repeating a lot: By threatening Walmart, telling them to "eat" the tariffs and not raise prices, Trump is admitting American businesses pay the tariff on imported goods, not the exporting country.

Mercantilism - the belief that there is only so much wealth in the world (they ain’t making any new gold) and you must horde all you can. Thoroughly discredited by, well, centuries of capitalism. Revived by a guy who thinks you have too many dolls and too many pencils.

Taught my last college lecture today. I don’t officially retire till August, but yeah. It’s been real. (Early Modern empires - Aztecs and Ottomans and all that.)

The last couple of days of moving are something else. Where does all of this stuff keep coming from? How am I still filling trash bags? And my steps; T -4 12k; T -3 13k; T -2 18k. I’m going to sleep for a couple of days after closing.

I just notice my Dad joined Telegram back in October. Interesting, since he died in 2011.👻

I am right now in a Teams meeting learning how to remove DEI words from our webpages. I have been in a lot of depressing meetings. This may be the most depressing.

Don’t know if I’ve ever been to the grocery store on Valentines Day. It’s insane. You’d think a big snow storm was coming!

You know who I blame? Ronald Reagan. It was more important to him to break the unions than to support the safety of American fliers. The current shortage of controllers and the overwork of the current ones goes right back to that strike. #DCplanecrash

Cleaning up my home office, I found an external hard drive. No idea what it is. Found a power pack for it, but had to order a data cable. Probably an old back up, nothing special ñ, but I’m hoping for something fun, like a bunch of Bitcoin codes or some really good risotto recipes.
