My motto is “be kind, or fuck off.” At work on my first novel that isn't about badger magic (I was 8). @[email protected]

If you're looking to help Ukraine and Ukrainians, I've made a list of organizations that I've seen recommended by multiple people, along with the requisite social proof that may help you feel more comfortable in giving. davidedwardbarrett.com/blog/2022/help…

@WKuzushi @TheRickWilson Benjamin Franklin literally pretended to be a woman for an advice column, and may have dressed up in women’s clothes to help conceal his affairs with married women. Lipstick was invented in the 1870s (lip colouring being available but far from commonly so). But you do you.

@TheRickWilson Nah, that's not entirely true. I have ancestors that lived to 80 and 90 years old in the 17 and 1800s. One things for certain, they knew what a woman is and the men weren't fkn wearing lipstick and dresses in public. That wasn't very cosmopolitan of them, now was it.

Well, we also died at 40, owned slaves, suffered from a host of maladies, used animals for transport, and lived one bad harvest away from death. But you knew that.

@TheRickWilson Americans did not pay taxes because of tariffs for the first 150 years of the existence of the USA. I’m sure you know that though.

Anders Breivik, Norwegian terrorist and mass murderer, showed up in court today with the letter Z shaved on his head and a poster with a message of support for Russia. Just a reminder about what kind of people tend to support Russia.

Or maybe it's her shilling for Syria's Bashar Al-Assad, her repetition of Kremlin talking points, and her defense of Putin... In other words, maybe it's because she mistakes our friends for enemies and our enemies for friends...
Batya Ungar-Sargon@bungarsargon

The foreign policy of @TulsiGabbard: "When it comes to terrorists, I’m a hawk. When it comes to regime change, I’m a dove.” It's the most intelligent, patriotic, anti-war, peace-delivering foreign policy imaginable—which is why warmongers on both sides are so threatened by her.

Private prison company Geo Group's stock is up nearly 60% since Trump won. On today's earnings call, founder George Zoley said the company is prepared to handle MILLIONS of people. "In GEO's ISAP [monitoring] program, we can scale up from the present 182,500 participants to several hundreds of thousands or even millions of participants. In GEO's nationwide ground and air transportation services, we can scale up materially for domestic as well as int'l travel. The GEO Group was built for this unique moment in our country's history and the opportunities that will bring," Zoley said.

Would actually say that the takeaway is that money matters a tremendous amount. House Democrats are going to outrun Harris in a TON of places, thanks in large part to big financial edges. We're going to have a lot of Trump district House Democrats in 2025.
Russell Drew@RussOnPolitics

So, basically Democrats raised a record amount of money to pick up ONE seat? The lesson is that money can only go so far, right? Environment and top of the ticket matter most.

Calgary stopped adding fluoride to its water in 2011. What happened? "The need for intravenous antibiotic therapy by children to avoid death by infection rose 700% at the Alberta Children’s Hospital." - Dr. James Dickinson @ University of Calgary calgary.ctvnews.ca/calgary-s-plan…
Steve Inskeep@NPRinskeep

Just interviewed RFK Jr., who said he spent two days last week with Trump and, now that the election is won, RFK repeats that the new administration will recommend getting flouride out of drinking water on Jan. 20. Adds the administration will give "information" on vaccines.

Why yes, actually. This is what the Nazis ran into and why they turned to mass murder in gas chambers instead. I spent the last four years studying the Nazis. I am ready for this moment at least.

Many people will continue struggling to come to terms with the election results, but there’s still a lot you can do: 1) Be irritable at work 2) Withdraw from people who love you/need you 3) Make an impulsive and self destructive major life decision

Since the 2012 election cycle we've gone from "Republicans won't be able to win another national election in a demographically changing America " to "Guy who called for mass deportations just won Hispanic males by 10 points."
David Weigel@daveweigel

This is the correct take for Dems. In 2016 they lost a fluke they probably narrowly would have won but for Comey. Huge coalition shift but clear majority to win in 2020, and the Latino red shift hadn’t happened. Dems weaker now, lots of their issue groups discredited.

I remember Republicans made a bunch of very confident predictions about what would happen if Biden were elected in 2020 -- no more elections, a stock market crash, gun confiscation, etc. None of them came true. Anybody followed up on that? Asked them about it?

The results you’re looking for are found in the work that you’ve been avoiding. Stop avoiding it, start doing it, and you’ll get the results you want.
