Tried to enjoy my time away from X but while I was gone you people tarred and feathered a woman over the crime of needing sleep while being a mom and the next day told a man it was perfectly normal that his blood boils if he has to spend more than 10 minutes a day with his kids

Nobody understands "sometimes you've gotta do it scared" like CPTSD survivors. Trauma survivors are so used to doing things scared that we sometimes don't even remember or realize there's another way to do them. Lecturing survivors about "fear' is enormously condescending.

Trump says invading Venezuela will net us $17 trillion. He says tariffs will generate $18 trillion. Add in $3 more trillion from DOGE savings. That is enough to wipe out our nation’s debt. Except it’s all a lie. A lie MAGA will eat up. And that, is why it’s a cult.

I wish to express once again my closeness to those suffering as a result of the tragedy in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, and to assure them of my prayers for the young people who died, for the injured, and for their families.

I wonder what Donald Trump has planned for Monday or Tuesday to distract from the anniversary of Jan 6.

men are masterful at taking women-driven practices and hardening the language to (successfully) market them to a totally different audience: wellness -> longevity self-care -> looksmaxxing therapy -> executive coaching brand activation -> popup dieting -> biohacking what else??

NYT Editorial Board: Trump Is the Jan. 6 President. "Again and again, Mr. Trump dares the system to stop him. He does so knowing that the same system that failed to hold him to account for Jan. 6 is unlikely to do so now." cc: Merrick Garland

Just FYI - Nicholas Maduro does not have an ICC warrant out for him. Netanyahu does.

Because Denmark is trusted, democratic ally, we can deploy all the soldiers we need in Greenland without annexing the territory. The 5th fleet is based in Bahrain without us annexing that country! In fact, we have basses all over the world without annexing the land.

One 2025 goal was to purge my closet of synthetic fibers & replace everything w natural fibers I almost exclusively used eBay/Poshmark to do it & learned if I wanted quality I had to buy pre-2000s pieces Found Burberry, Ferragamo, Talbots — more affordable than fast fashion slop
What annoys me a lot about “buying clothes” is that every option is slop. It doesn’t matter if you spend 50 or 800 on a ‘winter coat’, it might just be cold af. With omnipresent sloppification you need to become an expert yourself before buying anything. Huge cognitive costs.

No Janna, people don't want to use new tech that objectively has more cons than pros and doesn't give any added value. This "burnout" comes from the exhaustion of having it forced upon users everywhere, especially in places where it's not needed or wanted.

I can't believe I am saying this but even the fucking Russians would pretend to have an election after stealing land. Trump is a lunatic

Well let’s be honest here, Netanyahu has gotten away with invading and land grabbing in GAZA, Putin is still trying to take Ukraine if not for Zelensky and his brave warriors. China is planning on grabbing up Taiwan! Trump fancies himself as part of that club of dictators!
