Prior to Nixon, the US had 1/5th the prison population of the USSR post-Stalin, after Reagan we had double the population as the Soviet union even though its population hadn't gone down by much because we had much longer sentences. Since then we have doubled our prison population. China now has 1/3rd the prison population we do. If the Soviet union and China are rightfully called a police state what the hell does that make the US?

The UK will never have (and shouldn't have) the sweetheart deal it had before. All in, or all out, no half measures.

On this day, in 2016, the UK voted in the #EUReferendum to leave the European Union.

Things have never been the same since. As a committed #European, the result broke my heart. I will never β€œget over it”, nor will I β€œmove on.” The compelling case to rejoin is clear. We need politicians to be honest and admit this. NOW.

If she's going out on one of her yachts, I hope she gets to see the orcas. Up close.

Given the threat that President Zelensky is referring to in the previous toot, these 2 Senators are alarmed enough to introduce a resolution: Lindsey Graham and Sen Blumenthal introduced a bipartisan resolution declaring russia's use of nuclear weapons or destruction of the occupied Zaporizhia Nuclear Powerplant in Ukraine to be an attack on NATO requiring the invocation of NATO Article 5

Paramount has cancelled Star Trek: Prodigy and will shop the second season to another network.

Prodigy was a fantastic show with fun characters that could have brought Star Trek to a new audience. Cancelling the show was a dumb move designed to cut short-term costs at the expense of long-term growth.

Excited to watch #ThePerfectFind this weekend! Trying to get my girls together for some wine, popcorn, and a show!

I love moss and I love frogs and I just discovered the cutest thing in existence: the Vietnamese moss frog πŸ€—

First was Titanic. Next was Titan. So I guess if the pattern follows, don’t get on any vessels named Tit.

"Kavanaugh can be bought for a six-pack and two Nationals tickets"

I dated someone like that.

We’re about three days away from finding out that Kavanaugh can be bought for a six-pack and two Nationals tickets.

This is what gutting the Voting Rights Act looks like.

I wash my hands with green apple soap before taking a sip of my sour apple energy drink. Matt Damon shoves a piece of paper against the window. Yells "HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES?" I tell him I like them fine. He seems content. Once again Matt Damon has been placated. Our children will see another sunrise.
