Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

In my day, never was longer.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

This entire thread is epic. I wish I could embed the entire thing for you, but you’ll just have to click over to read the rest of the story (click on any tweet to get you there).

A few tweets later and now he knows he’s not alone….. (and of course, someone points out later that there is the shadow of a person in his window…INSIDE THE HOUSE).

This is ONLY the beginning. Click on the first tweet to read the entire story. Tom is a comic book author, so is funny and suspenseful:

#1 NYT Bestselling writer-INJUSTICE, FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD SPIDER-MAN, X-MEN: RED, DCEASED, BATMAN, WOLVERINE, STAR WARS comics. Creator/EP -THE DEEP on Netflix

And part of his story made it to TIME magazine – but they didn’t stick around for the end.

And I’m imagining all of this was a way for him to procrastinate on his latest project!

    Because of the teddy bear, I think you’re correct, but I’m still curious.

    Ah, imagination can terrify! I can never sleep after a scary movie. Every creak is a slasher inching toward my closed door.

    Twitter Narratives can be good when done well (like here). Done badly, its basically PowerPoint for the internet.

    How many dreary, soul-sucking 200-image PowerPoint lectures have I attended over the last 25 years… It’s worse when they give you a binder with all the images collected for you to look at WHILE the presenter reads them aloud as they click by on the big screen.

    Gack. Kill me now.

    @leeleeFL: Every house that I lived in I put in sliding glass doors for the shower and tub. Clear are the best. That was the end of shower curtains for me.

    @JPL: I think I still missed some tweets, but I got the main parts. Thanks! And I would have bailed on that cabin in the middle of the night.

    This so captures the essence of how I felt recently upon discovering mice live in our building. I’ll never forget waking up one morning at 4, one of the days with the extra large moon, ans seeing a silhouette of a mouse sitting on the window ledge inside my apartment and not 2 feet from me. Sneaking in and out of my kitchen; erecting barricades into the laundry room. Awaking yelling at every random noise. And seeing a mouse-sized hole in the window insect screen just this morning leading into my bedroom.

    We had a rule – presenter could NOT have a copy of the slides, nor could they read them from looking at the screen. We / they could glance at the slide to grasp the topic, then had to talk about what we knew about the point the slice was making. Vast improvement.

    No point to reading the PP to an audience capable of reading! Stupid!!!

    Have no idea what the twitter story was really about, think it was creative writing experiment. Got a little ways into it and said, not good enough a story!
