Rev. Dr. Howard-John Wesley: “Charlie Kirk did not deserve to be assassinated. But I’m overwhelmed seeing the flags of the United States of America at half-staff calling this nation to honor and venerate a man who was an unapologetic racist and spent all of his life sowing seeds of division and hate into this land. And hearing people with selective rage who are mad about Charlie Kirk, but didn’t give a damn about Melissa Hortman and her husband when they were shot down in their home, tell me I ought to have compassion for the death of a man who had no respect for my own life. I am sorry, but there’s nowhere in bible where we are taught to honor evil. How you die does not redeem how you lived. You do not become a hero in your death when you are a weapon of the enemy in your life”

Why are they coming after every and any little goddamn thing that might spark joy for people? Snuffling out every good thing like fucking evil truffle pigs.

"That's here. That's home. That's us." One of the last photos I ever took, this image of Earth – our Pale Blue Dot – was captured on Feb. 14, 1990, as I was speeding out of the solar system. Be good to one another, Earthlings. -V1

🤯 French Senator : "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine. (...) We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor" - Claude Malhuret. WOW ! 👊

You can't understand the damage done to Europe/US relations without watching the German Foreign Minister's speech today, essentially saying that the US has fallen to Russia.

By all that is holy, DO NOT LET THE HORSE BACK IN THE HOSPITAL.
The 2018 John Mulaney “Horse In A Hospital” bit is still so great 😂 Best part is he doesn’t mention the name Trump at all. Oh America, you finally removed the horse from the hospital. DO NOT let it back in 😬

I remember this SO well. I turned off the water while brushing and etc all the time. Still do!
New York City is under a drought watch. Here’s former Mayor Ed Koch in 1980 for the “Keep New York City Wet” campaign — maybe @NYCMayor should replicate it (via @LaGuardiaWagner youtu.be/WG9Bg9VFYE0?si=6kPm…)

There’s a stake in your fat black heart And the villagers never liked you. They are dancing and stamping on you. They always knew it was you. Daddy, daddy, you bastard, I’m through.

What did founders and CEOs find the most valuable tech upgrades this year? I asked some of them to find out for the @Inc Power Partners List in the November 2024 issue.

On why the emergency alert came 40 minutes after the earthquake. I believe it.
Replying to @NateSilver538
I imagine they had to convene a panel of experts, take a vote, wake up the only person who knows how to create a bitly link, make a few revisions, run an A/B test, sign a contract with a third party vendor who has financial ties to someone in city hall, and then send it.

Say this sentence aloud: I was merry when I saw Mary marry. If you pronounced each M-word differently, then congratulations, you might be an old-school New Yorker like I apparently am. romper.com/parenting/why-kid…

A rousing performance of 'Fairytale of New York' was given by Glen Hansard and Lisa O'Neill at the funeral of Shane MacGowan in Nenagh, Co Tipperary. The performance was greeted by cheers inside and outside the church | rte.ie/b/1420857

Henry Kissinger has died at 100. No need for me to say more. You all no doubt gave an opinion about him. Here’s the @nytimes obituary: nytimes.com/2023/11/29/us/he…
