How could I forget this doc. I watched this in the peak of lockdown It feels like a fever dream now.

Whoever thought to have a bar in the grocery store is a certified genius.

It may be trash but it's my trash damn it.

Exactly

In other news, water is wet

What's worse these are precedented times, we saw this 22 years ago.

We would like less predictable and stupid precedented times please.

I'm happy to hear your experience from the newsroom and certainly hope you're right.

'60 Minutes' executive producer resigns, saying show's indepependence was compromised Bill Owens, executive producer of the CBS news magazine "60 Minutes," announced his resignation, saying he can no longer make independent journalism decisions for the program.

Or would hope this was the case, however recent history makes me doubt this.

I fully remember the amount of pushback kids got in school for not standing for the pledge during the war.

Let's not have that happen again.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

me: don't worry about it, the last time this course of events played out in almost the exact same way nothing bad happened

guy who has never heard of ISIS: 👍

BBC News feed with peak irony.

We live in the dumbest timeline

The country of Iran with spirit Halloween

So how did y'all find out about WWIII?

I wish this wasn't my first clue.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

Once more with feeling

Hey remember that thing we did that went badly 20 years ago? What if we did it again but worse?

illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president

I am so done.

Thanks I hate it.

Every time I read one of these a new line makes me audibly snort. This rounds winner:

"Psychiatry hadn't been invented on the Disc. No one had ever shoved an inkblot under Rincewind's nose to see if he had any loose toys in the attic"

Just delightful. 💿🌐

to recap:
— Trump was *for* the TikTok ban
— which the GOP Congress passed
— and the GOP Supreme Court upheld
— and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway
— so that Trump could "save" it
— and the media fell for it
we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

Hello to all my new followers! Let’s just make this super clear:

-reading is political
-problematics authors suck: SJM, TJ Klune, Yarros, JKR, and more
-audiobooks are reading
-diverse reading should be the goal (BIPOC, queer, disabled, indie)
-AI is stupid and gross
-free Palestine
