Shocking. If *only* there were some way to prevent this kind of suffering.

Yup.

It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born; now is the time of unimaginably stupid shit every fucking day

Politicians love to talk about the worst of the world — today’s a reminder that the light exists too 🌈

There’s friendship, fun, silliness, & hugs to be found amidst even the most rigorous of policy/budget/planning conversations! & there’s more to Parliament than suits, ties, & billionaire donors 🤗

soooo can you all stop posting screenshots of terrible posts from elsewhere and embedding terrible videos from elsewhere here kthxbai

Ooooof. “Roughly 2 USAIDs”

I’d say ‘Too soon’, except that it’s not (for anything except our feelings), and we’ve got a fight to win against these monsters.

Well-said, Sir <tips hat 🎩 >

Apropos of absolutely nothing, and a timeline cleanse is never bad given everything ‘out there’ <gesticulates expansively at the world>…greetings from the Isle of Skye (Scotland):

Interviewing prospective Psychology PhD students (for my group and others), a new development this year: They aren’t just talking about mapping causes > effects, but dynamic interactions where causes lead to effects that themselves become causes. So great to see the next gen embrace complexity!

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.

This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

I find this a thousand kinds of excellent. 12/10 no notes.

SO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!

Elsewhere on social media...

Still sort of light at 4:00 PM yesterday (here in Scotland)…I’m with ya’, Brother.

packing boxes in warehouse setting, one slightly higher than the other, the words "DO NOT BREAK DOWN" can be seen on it

I am trying Mr. Box.

In the U.S., 93% of extremist murders are from the far right Extremist murders in the U.S. since 2005

But but but I was told it’s the far left who’s violent

“Oh, Canada…”

This all seems pretty unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize winner

If Xi Jinping invaded Taiwan right now, and toppled the president there, on what grounds would the United States object? Or have any credibility to say anything?

If Nicolás Maduro stands trial in the United States and gets convicted of 34 felonies, does that mean he’s qualified to be our next president now?

Just checking what the standards are these days.

Many happy returns to his family, and all those who appreciate the greatest story ever told!

The #StrangerThings finale was delightful and a triumph.
