It's not just that the Brazil unrest echoed Jan. 6 or even that some of the same actors were involved.

It's that it highlights how the American right has successfully made Jan. 6 more palatable to the GOP and cast those involved as real victims.

USA did have the disadvantage that the anti-Americans of the Incel Insurrection were still in-charge of the DOJ on January 7, 2021

Having flown for about 50 hours in the last couple of weeks, hopping on a short domestic fight this morning has left me with absolutely zero patience for people standing, mystified, before an overhead compartment, in sheer denial that their bags are too big to fit. Squinting and furrowing one’s brow will not, in fact, suddenly make the bag fit, and enable everyone to keep boarding.

No one should be getting their information from joke memes.

You also don't need to correct them.

Because they are jokes.

Class dismissed.

If a trans person comes out to you and is gracious enough to offer to answer questions, ask them an unexpected source of joy they’ve found in transition and watch their eyes light up.

I'm concerned about the increasing pro Putin sentiment among members of the German public. Looks like the propaganda war has gained momentum in parts of the West.

For tonight's snack:

Amish popcorn.

Things might not work out but it’s still possible to be spectacular. Jupiter really is just a failed star, it cooled down below the threshold for fusion.

Doctor: It's a girl!

Baby: gaga

Doctor, to Lady Gaga: 7 seconds old and she can already say her mother's name. My heavens, your daughter is a super genius.

@ScottSoCal @PaulSchleifer I like the idea of a semi-detached slice 😄 available in every Waitrose

The vote turned 15 and Matt Gaetz lost interest.

Around the time I joined Mastodon, I’d adopted a new dog.

Two weeks earlier, we’d said goodbye to my last dog.

It was the end of an era, and the longest stretch of time I’d gone without a canine companion in 30 years.

My house had never been cleaner; I’d never felt so alone.

I’ve seen lots of posts today of senior dogs. Makes me think of him.

In tribute:

Can we just stop ranking everything? It's really fucking dull. Thanks.

Hello world! #introductions

I'm Andrew. First time here. I'm a father of twin teenagers, academic administrator, English professor (creative writing/composition/American literature), & lots of other things. I'm interested in the future of higher education, which I believe is intertwined with the fate of democracy & the next generation of leaders. Lifelong learner--trying to be a little better each day. I believe in empathy & that we are all connected. Thanks for having me here.

Dear news media,
Stop using the phrase “moderate Republicans.” That’s like saying “vegan cannibals.” There are none.
Thank you,
Mark

Twitter is being sued for not paying their rent

Be honest, is this the first time you have ever rooted for a landlord?

Well, it definitely works.
