Donald Trump selected J.D. Vance as his running mate. Abortion bans, cuts to social security, election denial and Project 2025. Here is all you need to know about his extreme views. #BreakingNews #Abortion #Election2024 #RoeYourVote #Vote4Healthcare #AbortionIsHealthcare #Project2025IsTrumpVance #StopProject2025

The whole political world will be looking at fundraising numbers right now as a measure of enthusiasm for Vice President Harris. This is a way for us to set a narrative about unity and massive energy. We want to be able to say we had our largest fundraising day in years. Based on the grassroots enthusiasm we've already seen today, we think that’s achievable if enough folks step up and donate: secure.actblue.com/donate/2024

In 2004 I took a holiday to London. I came back with about Β£50 and some change. I'm pretty sure I decided to keep it safe by slipping it into a book in my home office.
So if anyone find Β£50 in a used book they picked up, you can keep it guilt free. It's yours now.

wandering my house looking for hiding places where i might have said "ah this is a good place for my stuff, i'll remember this"

I'm with Her πŸ’™ but with that being said, I think Joe Biden is the most decent human being who has ever been a politician as well.
I will always thank Joe Biden for loving this country.

I'm still taking my minute...

When Trump struck a TV-ready pose after a bullet whizzed past his ear, Mark Zuckerberg called it "one of the most badass things I’ve ever seen in my life." Imagine if Trump's billionaire masters had the emotional maturity to recognize what real badassery is: Biden sacrificing his own ego and ambition to preserve our democracy. Go Kamala.

Fuck off, Washington Post. This is not your party, not your election, not your country, you are not in charge. Stop your open-convention wet-dreams. Zip it up. You helped The Times hound Biden from office. Now @KamalHarris needs every minute to defeat the fascist you still do not fully cover. So fuck off.
With Biden stepping aside, Democrats must now embrace an open process washingtonpost.com/opinions/20

Be blocking anyone who says Kamala Harris needs to β€œearn their vote” still or she’s not qualified or any such nonsense fucking garbage or suggests some white dude has to be the nominee.

I know my admins will back me up.

Let me be clear. I'm on "Team Whoever The Fuck Isn't The Orange Rapist-Fascist-With-A-God-Complex".

If you aren't, then you didn't understand the assignment and you can unfollow/unfriend me right the fuck now.

Holy cow, this is really happening! I wrote a book about the science of real-world zombiesβ€”ants, roaches, caterpillars & moreβ€”and it's heading your way in Spring 2025 from @HopkinsPress.

There are so many weird, cool mechanisms for behavior manipulation, and they lend insights into neurochemistry, evolution and human behavior. If you're curious about the origins of the zombifying fungus in The Last of Us, this may align with your interests!

I’ll be honest, most of what I felt on hearing Biden was withdrawing was shockβ€”another β€œwe live in unprecedented times” momentβ€”but what I’m seeing in all my socials is a huge, excited, energized groundswell supporting Kamala Harris.

Wanna come at me saying you saw a UFO? Or that we're being visited by aliens?

You better have the evidence, baby. Because it's never aliens.

"You can rationalize it however you like; I understand it’s important for one’s self-image to do that. I’m not inclined to buy into the rationalizations any more."

Every bit of this, many times. Many, many times.

with the supreme court’s blessing biden should fire judge aileen cannon first thing tomorrow and restart the documents trial. he should then arrest jarod kushner for treason. and that’s just the beginning

WTF is Guinness Records?
We're breaking several records here.

I've written a longish take on the last couple of days, including about how what looked like (and initially was) Democratic panic over Biden morphed somewhere along the way into a rope-a-dope strategy against the GOP, and whether Harris can win (spoiler: yup):

I'm drinking a shot every time someone calls her shrill, lecturing, school-marm-ish, or suggests she should smile more.

Anyone have the number to the alcohol poisoning center?
