This goes along with my last post perfectly. I’m in snob mode.

When I’ve read and heard the word that you’ve only read and are now trying to say out loud

I can’t believe what an absolute insufferable book snob I’ve become. I’m glad people are out there reading but I’m so judgmental about the bestseller lists on some certain book-focused social websites.

Every year, a team of Nobel-endowed Norwegians selects the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Many Norwegians have called to pause the award until 2029, arguing that giving it out with a vengeful U.S. president in office might hurt peace efforts.

washingtonpost.comTrump’s Nobel ambitions fade, but Norway still fears his wrathTrump seldom talks about the Nobel Peace Prize these days, but in Norway, some fear that any award could provoke him.

No one should get excited about the midterms. Never ever forget that feeling of “knowing” Hillary was going to win and we got this jackass in our lives for 10 years. Don’t forget that America is filled with IDIOTS who vote against their own interests over and over. Don’t hold your breath.

Honestly don’t know how we continue functioning as a society with such a small number of people vacuuming up this much wealth. Basically the equivalent of the US defense budget was rerouted to 500 people in just the last nine months.

Trump campaigns for Ken Paxton in Texas: "He can be a pain in the ass sometimes, I'll be honest. Is he here, by the way? Oh, there he is. I didn't even know if he was here! I don't care."

Did we ever figure out these guys’ motivation for being assholes? Or why they were just hanging out in armor there on Asshole Island? (I’m sure we did, Professor Graduate S. Chool, but you don’t actually have to tell me.)

The president is just such a stupid asshole. I know we try to ascribe motives to this guy but he’s at the end of the day, when the story is written, just a dumdum idiot with a tiny brain that don’t work so good.

Stop even doing news on Trump. There’s only 2 news stories I want to see about him and neither of those things have happened yet. Everything else is redundant.

Great time at @cbbworld.bsky.social last night! Met some freaks from the discord and my wish came true when I finally got to see Lisa Gilroy and Vic Michaelis in person. My partner and I laughed and laughed. and I clapped at all the inside jokes. 😃 Third time live!!!

Anybody out there that wants Gavin Newsome to run for president tell me specifically the policies he promotes that you like and tell me how he's not just a "pick me" flip-flopping politician who looks the right way in the most disingenuous way possible. I call em like I see em

Donald Trump is a widdle tiny weak man who hides and cowers in the face of danger. Hides in bunkers. Hides in food trucks. Just such an absolute wimp

El-Sayed, Lawrence and McKinney all won progressive campaigns in Michigan last night by talking about climate and clean energy like it was a kitchen-table issue — because skyrocketing energy bills and endless wildfire smoke matter to people.
