Americans: should the worst happen, it won't be on Trump—it'll be on you—for letting it happen.
Iranians are massed around civilian targets to prevent them from being destroyed by a madman.
Why aren't you?
"Oh, we did #NoKings" Holidays don't count.
Stop talking.
Start walking.
SHUT. IT. DOWN.
🧵 Democracy feels like it's in a rough state at the moment across the globe, and we hear various explanations, like polarisation, extremism, disinformation, and loss of trust. But what if those explanations are mainly symptoms and we've been trying to treat them rather than the underlying causes?

starting now i am going to start sharing the books i read. finished this volume this morning. it is terrific.
“The single best predictor of what people believe is how many times they’ve heard it.” – FrameWorks Institute Message from the Urban Truth Collective
You can expect that we’re going to repeat our messages. For the same reason they repeat their lies.

Too many on the Left see this as a funny burn.
There's nothing funny about it.
If you have any notion of modern political history, it's a matter of great concern.
1) The competent get removed.
2) The pliable and complicit take their place.
3) The wrong people die. Here, there, everywhere.
Of course this got me blocked.
The American "resistance" is weekend cosplay.
PEOPLE ARE DYING. All over the world.
YOUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE IS ON FIRE.
"But my health insurance!"
"But my job!"
"But the mean fat (incompetent) ICE agents!"
FIGHT.
BACK.
Grow a spine.
Grow a fucking conscience FFS
Epic would be squatting your elected reps’ offices until they impeach; blocking major economic arteries until the unredacted Epstein files are released.
#NoKings is not epic. It’s collective hand-washing; performative opposition. It’s all talk. It’s weak.
As barbarity marches on, UNBOTHERED.
Excuses. (See below. Posted NINE MONTHS AGO)
Of course my latest post got me blocked: Too many "resistance" cosplayers can't handle the fact that we are WAY past symbolic gestures.
It DIDN'T WORK EVERY OTHER TIME. Why would it now?!!!
War is upon you, whether you like it or not.
No, Robert, this is what virtue signalling looks like
Solidarity would be coordinating stoppages WITH EMPLOYERS, until fascism is overturned
It would be PUTTING ONE’S MONEY WHERE ONE’S MOUTH IS. And not going back to business as usual on Monday
Y’all went for a walk. Again.
As the world burns

A picture of a packed airport terminal, taken on March 27th 2026 and shared on r/mildlyinfuriating. Title reads: "The security line at JFK this afternoon"
Two charts. Top one shows the falling cost of renewables (source: Our World in Data) The bottom one shows the spiking price of crude oil. Overlaid is the image creator's logo: "The Bully Pulpit: Watch. Dogs. Keep. Score"
I swear to God, between the price of gas and the rising burden of air travel, the Transition Retarding Unequivocally Moronic Pedophile might actually solve climate change.
MAGA is a case study of what happens when you don't follow expert advice.
TLDR: Nothing good.
I’m peer reviewing a draft transportation plan for a city I’m advising, which is always interesting. One of the most common problems I find is in phasing/timing relative to the urgency of the #ClimateEmergency.
I’m reminded of Mississauga’s urban biking plan that would take 27 YEARS TO BUILD OUT.

AOC: Companies like Palantir are mining endlessly the data and privacy of the American people—keeping track of everything that they say and do. And sending it to a militarized government.
Still wondering if inequality is out of control?
This article (h/t @beansproutsmom.bsky.social ) nails the manipulation and bad-faith obstructionism that have characterized the public health and infection control response throughout the COVID pandemic.
Bad systems controlled by bad people produce bad outcomes.

What's a "Homo stultus avarum"?
Not a greedy fool: "A foolish man of the greedy".
DeepL translator knows what's up.

Also: employers are suffering too. This ain't "us v them"; the only "them" are the nihilistic sociopaths driving civilization off a cliff. But where coordination is needed, excuses are found.
"We the people of the richest country on earth can't afford to". Not powerless; unwilling.

Agreed. Meanwhile, an entire hospital wing died in Cuba because the generators ran out of fuel. The entire world is on the brink, Ukrainians are dying, a genocide continues, but yeah. Take the win.
WHERE IS THE GENERAL STRIKE? ACTUAL ECONOMIC PRESSURE?
Is this a ‘game’ to you all?
I'm just going to leave this here.
For later.
For those of you in the back
who are well aware
but are still not reacting accordingly
#NoKings on a weekend will not do
They'll ignore you
like they did every other time
Protests must
DISRUPT THE SYSTEM
that is being rigged
to oppress you
You are being disenfranchised
in real time #ElbowsUp
Not this again.
Unless it's on a weekday. Unless it incurs a cost, it will do NOTHING.
Just like last time. And the time before that.
What's missing in the response is self-sacrifice. Those who dared are dead. The rest are just watching from the sidelines. Not good enough.
Losers gonna lose.
And until y'all voted him in, all Trump ever was is a loser. A failure—a joke.
I'm with Obama. And I'm still glad he gave Trump that epic roast. Nah, this is on you, America. You could stop this any time.
ANY TIME. You just can't be bothered. And for that, we all pay. Dearly.
Merriam-Webster The Words of the Week - Mar. 13 Word Worth Knowing: 'Dauncy' Our Unabridged dictionary defines the adjective donsie as a word used chiefly in northern Midland (see sense 2b) dialects to mean "slightly ill." It sometimes appears with the variant spelling dauncy (both forms are rarely encountered these days). Donsie/dauncy can be traced to the Scottish Gaelic word donas, meaning "evil."

Day 1282—POTS was indirectly referenced by @merriam-webster.com. Since Long COVID [un]awareness day is tomorrow, I'm calling this a win:
'Dauncy', from the Gaelic 'donas', meaning "evil". [💯]
"You feeling dauncy? Did you maybe stand up too fast?"
[If only it were just that]
And by "we" I mean all of us.
I am not Jewish. Or Black. Or native American.
If you want to talk in terms of 'race', I am Aryan. Blonde hair, blue eyes, German parentage. How does that sound? Gross?
Because it is. 'Race' does. Not. Exist. Only racists think it does.
Time to grow the fuck up.
That was always Bibi's plan. Make it an "us and them" and see "our" people circle the wagons.
Oldest trick in the book.
And it worked.
As always, the enemy is within. All of us. Lack of introspection, insight, humility and compassion is what led us (all) here. We need to be better. Aggressively
