It’s crazy – I have a really nice oversized jumper, and people who’ve known I knit have asked if I made it. Lol no, it would have cost like 10 times more. I bought it on sale (it’s machine made).

The same goes for many handcrafts. Have you seen the cost of one teeny skein of embroidery ribbon? And I always feel a bit sad when I see hand crocheted tablecloths or large cross stitch pieces at thrift shops for almost nothing. Someone spent hundreds of hours on that, and it’s being sold for the price of like 3 tiny skeins of floss.

It’s definitely an admission, but also, I’m pretty sure he’s panicking because he knows it’s either going leak soon and/or there will be congressional hearings in which Bondi, Bonjino, and even Maxwell will have to testify under oath (Maxwell has already said she’s willing to testify – the late-night GOP scramble yesterday was related to this).

He’s trying to poison the well with his usual ‘lügenpresse’ schtick.

He’s a sore loser whose pettiness and insecurity know no bounds. He’ll never emotionally recover from that loss, and the only way he can cope is to get everyone else to agree that he didn’t, in fact, lose.

Remember, this is the guy who, after a journalist called him a ‘short-fingered vulgarian’, mailed him photographs of himself with his hands circled and notes like ‘See, not so short!’ for 25 years.

It’s because Ivana is in the general section at the top, but there are specific sections after that, like ‘65th Street’, ‘Entertainment’, ‘Finance’, ‘Hotels’, ‘Island’, etc. Donald is listed under ‘Island’.

There’s also a section for ‘Massage - Florida’ that mostly includes girls’ first names (with separate entries for their moms in some cases), and several are redacted (IIRC because they were to be witnesses in his case).

Thank you. I’ve been wondering whether I had hallucinated this, since it sounds like many people have forgotten this exists.

We saw this a full decade ago. It’s the contents of his ‘black book’, and trump is listed specifically under the ‘Island’ heading.

You actually can – just long-press the dash.

You can also do proper ellipses by long-pressing the full stop…

And long-press most letters for more options: ă é ï ø û æ œ ç ñ $ £ €

Pretty much everything is in there.

It would be cathartic for many of us, though.

That’s what happens when you put people in leadership positions who earnestly believe that empathy is a ‘fundamental weakness’. Ya know, ignoring that empathy is precisely what’s made us successful as a species in the first place.

A few years feels optimistic. I’d wager on by the end of this year, at the rate everything is getting defunded.

I think people vastly underestimate the effectiveness of annual mitigation efforts by multiple agencies that have either already been cut or on the chopping block.

Many of these agencies go unnoticed because they work well, but will be immediately obvious once they’re gone.

We’re not homo naledi. We’ve been living in increasingly modern societies forever, and definitely long enough for it to be more natural to us as a species than shitting in bushes and dying of dysentery.

Anything from the Discovery Institute or the stuff aimed at kids by PragerU is usually a good start. Materials by Creation Ministries or any of the christian textbook companies is good, too.

I don’t have specific video links, but like I said, it doesn’t matter much. If you search for ‘christian curriculum’ or ‘christian textbook’ you’ll see many various examples.

e: they can speak for themselves just fine.

Looks like a robot.

They might also get around like sea lions, hard to say.

Some people seem to only not assault others because they might get called out on it, so they assume everyone else is the same way. It’s pretty weird, and they’re really just telling on themselves.

Maybe even supplement with pedialyte if it’s been excessive.

It’s serious. They’ve been threatening this for years, but were blocked in various ways. They’ve spent years breaking all those guardrails.

e: this will show whether all the guardrails are gone (it kinda looks like they are)

This took longer than I thought it would. It seemed like a priority during trump’s 1st term, then it stalled.

Given some of Putin’s comments lately, he seems increasingly restless. I wonder if this is related to that?

I have an older phone and I’m not up to date. It’s probably a ‘me’ problem. Thanks, though!

A very large faction has been weaponising that indoctrination against others, and it’s been increasingly effective.

I am heartened that it didn’t work on you.
