The publishing costs will be crowdfunded, so if you're interested in political misguidance, misinformation, disinformation, indoctrination, influence & re-education, or just want to support me, stay tuned for a chance to pre-order a copy. #ThisIsHappening #FirstTimeAuthor #Insupportable #IguanaBooks

For a second there, I misread no. 1 as "Obama's Cheesecake Factory job".

Former presidents are just roasting the hell out of the White House redo today and it’s going to drive Trump absolutely insane

Anyone on WikiTree? I absolutely love their aim to map out the entirety of human genealogy via collaborative effort, with just one page for each person. On Ancestry, everyone has to build their own family tree and most information is paywalled. #cooperationisbetterthancapitalism

Uh oh, did someone’s website and personal account experience a big drop in activity after Ukraine hit a Russian data center?

If you really want to solve problems with human behavior, you have to let go of winning arguments or "educating people". You just have to create the conditions that lead to behavior change, which sometimes means just getting enough power to compell it, other times, taking action that feels indirect.

Barack Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize. Donald Trump got... this. Also, this statue was in *Denmark's parliamentary building* and is now temporarily in the *EU parliamentary building*. This is how much contempt all decent, responsible people have for TFG, even at the highest levels of power.

I wouldn't be surprised if "schmitting yourself" soon became a well-known slang expression. #JackSmith #EricSchmitt #likeshittingyourselfonlyfarworse

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

I think my brain broke into two pieces when I saw this photo. #cansuchthingsbe

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

Donald Trump's portrait should not hang in the White House. No publicly owned property of any kind should bear his name. He should not be invited to any events involving the other living ex-presidents. He should not receive a state funeral. #detrumpification

I think I might actually die laughing over this. #cacklingnonstophere

It's probably a toss up between "Saved By the Bell" and "Touched By An Angel". I have never seen either voluntarily, and they were simply torture.

Natalie Harp announces a deal with HarperCollins to publish her memoir "It's Not Stalking If He Hires You" this fall.

Today as I passed a young boy of perhaps seven in No-Frills, I heard him say incredulously to his mother, "ALL girls?!" and his mother say, impatiently, "Yes, all girls. All girls have boobs." #importantifelessonlearned

Bluesky has switched to an AI-generated Trending topics list, and I hate it. Is there a way to opt out of the AI version without disabling my Trending list entirely? #AIrefusenik #Trending

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

My revulsion at the mainstream media for participating in the WHCD tonight can’t be overstated. They’re laughing at his jokes and shaking his hand? Fuck off. The corporate press is an enemy addicted to access. And this was true before the Ellison’s started their takeover.

Please enjoy this timely summer rerun cartoon 🇨🇦

"Pat King, a key figure in the 2022 convoy protests, will be re-sentenced after the Ontario Court of Appeal sided with Crown prosecutors who argued his original punishment was too lenient." That's some justice you don't see everyday. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Got upset and made this so hopefully people will actually listen. What the fuck are we doing here folks?

I so hope E. Jean Carroll enjoys the hell out of that money. She deserves every penny of it. I also look forward to seeing TFG, and his estate, paying out on more of his debts and lawsuits, until there's nothing left of his former net worth. #makehimpay

i will say lindsey graham being asked by a reporter how mitch mcconnell is doing, answering “i don’t know, i’m going to check right now” and then dying is hilarious

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

So, Lindsay Graham is gone. Any word on Mitch McConnell's life support unplugging? #onedown #soontobetwodown #hopingforatrifecta

instead of forming a coherent and principled political ideology a lot of people prefer to fall in love with some guy
