I remember where I was when I watched the final episode of Blackadder Goes Forth and how I sat stunned at the end. One of the best pieces of tragicomic writing ever, in any form; worth another look today of all days.

Sylvester wants to remind Doctor Who fans in America that Donald Trump is the absolute opposite to everything the Doctor stands for. The opposite to everything you love about the series. Please remember that when making your vote.

Speaking as someone currently enjoying a weekend in Antwerp I can confirm it's very relaxed, enjoyable and safe. And very much recognisable. Trump is an idiot.

I canceled our subscription to the LA Times because I want to make it clear that I am not okay with them being silent. In dangerous times, honest people need to stand up. This is the only way to show I’m standing up.- mh #ThankYouMarielGarza 🙏

Never underestimate the vast appeal of being a dick. And how that has been lurking under the surface of GOP politics for generations. Their breakout stars always begin being xenophobic & bigoted: Reagan, Buchanan, Limbaugh, then turn outright racist/fascist: Duke, Trump, Vance.

If North Carolinians don't reject Donald Trump at the polls after the way he's used our horrific tragedy to lie about his opponent, it will be our collective moral failure.

As we continue our unprecedented response to Hurricane Helene, the nation is beginning to understand that impacted areas have been the target of a relentless vortex of disinformation, dialed up by bad actors and platforms like X. 🧵

Boy STFU. Nobody is SHUNNING progressives. @KamalaHarris changed NOT ONE policy stance to court republicans who are tired of 🍊👹& DOESN’T HAVE TO. Emotional ass anarchists don’t understand coalition. They just wanna burn it all down & any type of compromise is water to them.🙄

I never understood why people voted for Brexit, I never understood why people voted for Trump but last night at dinner a Doctor explained it to me, he said, "They're stupid Robert, simply very stupid"

Asheville resident here to say that all the government agencies are here and hard at work. FEMA, state, counties, cities, all very visible and vigorous. Don’t listen to right wing bullshit.

The lies that Trump, @elonmusk, the Murdoch outlets, and dipshit Blue check marks are spreading about disaster relief are disgusting. Thousands of people desperately need help. FEMA’s trying to help them. D and R officials on the ground are working to help them. Everyone’s
.@CNN on-air fact check: "Congress appropriates funds with intent for specific purposes. The money allocated to DHS for helping states to house migrants is separate - completely separate - from the money for disasters. No money is being 'stolen' from disaster relief."

Sigh. Just to be very clear: no, it isn't symmetrical. The overwhelming bulk of the lies came from the right. And the lies came from the very top, the leaders of the party. There is no equivalent on the left. The right is the main problem here. Clear enough?

This man is the nominee of the GOP for President of the United States. And millions of people love him. America has a problem. First step is to admit the problem. Second step is to overwhelmingly defeat this insane person so thoroughly that he leaves us and takes his hats and
Trump: Oh, there's a fly. Oh, I wonder where the fly came from. See, two years ago, I wouldn't have had a fly up here. You’re changing rapidly. We can’t take it any longer

(PS5) This is such a stupid, humiliating, dark time in U.S. history. Like you read about the good Roman leaders and then read about the *really bad* obscure ones, and you wonder, whoa—what if you lived under *that* guy? That’s the Age of Trump. America’s lowest point since 1864.
