"I admire Trump because he's a successful businessman"
...
"Trump is asking for money, let me give him some"
🤦
The essential nature of the grift and the con and the scam that is Donald #Trump, hatched during his deranged lies about Barack #Obama, extending into his #racist tirades against Mexican immigrants, and continuing through his Muslim ban shortly after the #fascist#bigot took office:
John Oliver called Mike Johnson "an anti-LGBT bigot who believes in more accountability for his son's search engine history than for the people who tried to overthrow the government."
Arguably luck and the films without which she would have been an adequate and entertaining children's author (at least with the first book) and nothing more.
One addendum. My kids got an early (unsigned) copy of her first book, and a first edition (I was visiting Edinburgh from an overseas posting for the week). It was in remarkably good condition. They (now 26-30) decided to sell it and it went to auction and raised a very substantial sum of money. They donated it in full (auction commissions are eye watering) and donated the money to a number of charities, including Mermaids and the Albert Kennedy Trust)
I'm in my first NG+ run. I've skipped the story, thinking it makes sense to grind out the temples first until you've maxed your powers and equipment but after finding 14 temples Vlad does not give me any new locations anymore and there's still 10 of the powers at level 1. I found a planet that has anomalies, but no temple quest...
CARLOS SANTANA PAUSES OWN CONCERT TO GO ON TRANSPHOBIC RANT
Holy crap... This is a guy who’s been in showbiz, in the entertainment industry for decades. He's probably been around gay people, trans people and every other kind of person you can imagine throughout all of that and he starts this shit. It’s just unbelievable to me.
In #Trump's America, the new normal is a #racist, white father storming the stage and assaulting the black District Superintendent because he doesn't want his graduating daughter to shake his hand. Look at this poor girl's face as she realizes what her father has done. This #bigot's terrible actions ruined what should have been a moment of pride and celebration for his child. His #hatred was more important.
Moms For Liberty school board member arrested for shoplifting SEVEN times from Target since late November.
Collierville, TN School Board Member Keri Blair resigned Tuesday, citing “personal, family reasons,” according to the school board.
According to Collierville police, Blair stole $728.61 in merchandise from Target by “skip scanning” items at the self-checkout.
Elected in 2022, "Blair self-financed her campaign but also received contributions from community members including Patricia Woodard, treasurer for the Shelby County chapter of Moms for Liberty. The national conservative political group has grown in recent years and successfully supported school board candidates in recent elections."
I don’t really use Twitter anymore, I have a burner that I just use for sports and weather and news and never post from. But every time I open it, I have to question my sanity.
I just read an article about how there is an ice cream that is designed to, and I am not making this up, “taste like your grandma”
I subsequently read another article about how the New York Knicks won an NBA playoff game because someone let out “an epic fart”
These are real things. You can look them up.
Are people just getting more insane? Should I double up on my meds?
