people who have been using the em dash long before ai know that it’s the jazz riff of punctuation, the tightrope between intuition and impulse, the trapdoor for digressions—it’s the writing fidget spinner for centrifugal thinkers

It’s odd that it’s always framed that other countries “stole” American jobs, and not that the ultra wealthy shipped our jobs away for a quick buck.

thinking "we have to protect our mother" about the earth after going on a vanity space flight funded by a billionaire whose company is destroying said planet is just so funny, she's got jokes

The federal government doesn’t ‘give’ money to Harvard. The $2.2 billion in frozen payments isn’t for Harvard sophomores’ tuition or library books. The US government is buying services from Harvard: scientific & medical research & development. These aren’t ‘woke donations.’

A sitting member of the United States Senate says she and many of her colleagues are afraid of speaking out against the actions of the President and his administration because of retaliation. Does this sound like a functioning democracy to you?

Wow. The NYT did an analysis of the press room and exposes how Karoline Leavitt relies on planted stooges in the room to throw propaganda soft balls she uses to lie to the public. This is how authoritarian states are run.
