Bad marriages were so much more exhilarating in the 17th century:

I feel sorry for these people. Reading was never about grinding through self-help books, it's about being lifted out of yourself by a story, living through the eyes of another and finding we're not alone in our struggles. What a shameful thing to deny yourself that joy.

The unforced surrender of the United States of America: the most astonishing betrayal in all of its history.

Zelensky visiting #WhiteHouse. Churchill visiting #WhiteHouse. Both war leaders. Not one suit between us at war time.

derek guy Churchill visiting Whitehouse in boiler suit during WW2 - when the POTUS knew the difference between allies and evil dictators

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Gleichschaltung in Nazi Germany, intimidation & fear. Trump’s opponents are not being threatened with concentration camps. But there’s the threat of retaliation, falling out of favor with Trump, has turned the spines of congressional Republicans to Jello forward.com/opinion/700261…

It is worth noting that Winston Churchill wore a military zip suit when he came to the White House seeking support. FDR didn't yell at him, didn't ask him to grovel & show more gratitude & respect, didn't support the fascists pummeling Churchill's embattled nation.

“Miss Lindsey can go to Hell, where even the demons will decline to fuck her. Europe has spent as much defending Ukraine as the USA has.”

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does

BREAKING: They just kicked African American Congressman Al Green out of Trump's Speech. Weird that Marjorie Taylor Greene was never removed when she went off at Biden's SOTU a few years ago.

In the wake of CDC’s announcement to study the non-existent link between vaccines and autism I am announcing my plan to spend 50 million dollars to study the link between rolling your eyes and your face getting stuck like that.

The genuine hot take is that there are hundreds of Holocaust movies but basically none about centuries of non-Holocaust antisemitism not because Jews want it, but rather b/c the heroes of the Holocaust movies tend to be non-Jews saving Jews, which is what audiences like to see.

We all get stuff wrong, including consequential stuff. People shouldn't be ostracized for getting things wrong, they should be ostracized only if they fail to learn from it. We need a public culture that incentivizes that self-reflection rather than deters it.

Our shared land is burning and self appointed pro-Palestine people are celebrating. Shame on you. Shame on you.

Calling Gal Gadot a “baby killer” isn’t about her army service. It’s about her being Jewish and Israeli. The antisemitism isn’t subtle — it’s blatant. Also, mocking her for “changing her name”? Learn some history: Her family’s original name, Greenstein, ends in “-stein” — a
