Well, it was fun while it lasted, but Twitter has become a platform, no, a stinking cesspool of racism, ignorance, lies, and general anti-evolutionary speech. While I'm not doing the whole "cancel my account" thing, I won't be checking or responding here.

@OurShallowState He misspelled "ruin."

Here's an example of a pathologically driven post by Trump, who had gone a day and a half without posting. This is the best he can come up with: calling Epstein a Dem hoax, saying Dems are losing, 1 week after they kicked electoral ass. He can't stop. He's owned by his disorders.

Those who have followed me have probably heard me use the phrase: "Trump is now owned by his disorders." We're now seeing this in play. What this means, is that he increasingly reacts to pressures and negativities in a pathological way. This is part of the natural decompensation experienced by people in power with Cluster B disorders who begin to decline. Trump is a Poster Boy for Cluster B disorders, including narcissism and sociopathy. And he's old and ill. Pathological behavior here is another way of saying that he finds it extremely difficult to pivot. His instinct is to double down. And he also finds it extremely difficult to use reason to explain anything. His instinct is to ram home a false reality, or call that which hurts him a hoax. As more and more eyebrows are raised at Trump's defensive behavior, as it seeps into the Republican electorate (his approval there is already down to the low 70's), it could snowball. Calling Epstein a hoax - still - won't go over. It's a bridge too far. The House-wide vote on releasing files will prove this. Finally, this also underscores something else I've recently said: You do not need to be a behaviorist, attorney, psychic or lumberjack to feel Trump's total unbridled panic and terror over what is in these files.

With the AWS outage, now’s as good a time as any to post this old strip. #AWS

While @amazon is a monopoly, it’s clear that this is a MAJOR concern when so many companies use @awscloud to function… #AWS #Amazon #outage

@DionysussDick @BarkosBite @LongTimeHistory Cuz JB want's one of those sweet car wash or vegetable picking jobs they're stealing.

@BarkosBite @LongTimeHistory Why do we need them out?

ICE detain 4 car wash employees—all legal residents of U.S. "It's not legal to take him because he's a resident," manager told agent. "We're going to take him and check—if he's good we'll bring him back," agent said. Handcuffed and taken away in white vans to unknown location. "In other words, you're guilty of 'looking' illegal until you prove yourself innocent." The raid occurred at Bixby Knolls Car Wash in Long Beach, California. #DemsUnited

This brand-new installment from The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures will feature Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, and the gang as they return to the Muppet Theatre to put on a variety show filled with music, comedy, and plenty of chaos.

@joelansdale It doesn't look like I can direct message you. Is it OK if I discuss this with you in an open post? I don't want to offend or disturb your privacy.

@ricbret Blue Sky.

@joelansdale Thanks for the reply. What's the best way to contact you off Xitter? Email or Bsky? I think I'm following you on Bsky.

@joelansdale @joelansdale Embarassed that I missed this reply. Do you still have a copy of Fishing for Dinosaurs available for sale?

In 2017,I paid Cards Against Humanity to protect a pristine plot of border land from Trump’s racist wall.But then an even richer, more racist billionaire—Elon Musk—stole my land and dumped his shit all over it. @ElonMusk owes me $100. #ElonOwesMe100Bucks ElonOwesYou100Dollars.com

@Dove_and_Snake @anshelsag @stickermule And that's an obvious bit of hate speech. And that's why nobody believes in Maga folk saying they're trying to bring peace and understanding to the world.

@anshelsag @stickermule You literally have pronouns in bio. Anything you say after that is moot.

Donald Trump was shot. I don’t care what your political views are but the hate for Trump and his supporters has gone too far. People are terrified to admit they support Trump. I’ve been scared myself. Americans shouldn’t live in fear. I support Trump. Many at Sticker Mule do. Many at Sticker Mule also support Biden. The political hate needs to stop. Today a bullet almost killed Donald Trump. He’s got 5 kids. One’s still a teenager. No one should have to die and sacrifice the happiness of their family to run for office. If Donald Trump can risk that, the least the rest of us can do is vocalize our support and help end the hate. The more people realize that kind-hearted, compassionate people support Trump, the sooner the hate will end. I’m speaking up today and will do more in the future to stop this insane political hate. Awesome people, all over the world, love Trump. Don’t limit your friendships, and diminish your happiness by indulging in political hate. Vocalize your support. Stop the hate.
