.@elonmusk is not stupid, but this faux “Twitter files” stuff is stupid.
In 2020, the whole world knew what Trump was tweeting. Media outlets breathlessly covered his tweets. Millions and millions of people followed him.
Claiming Trump was silenced in 2020 is pure gaslighting.

Today is the first day of winter and I want you to watch this video of Christmas #Mariupol as it was a year ago, when the city and its residents didn’t yet know what awaited them in 2 months.

Just finished teaching and learned that the Queen passed away peacefully this afternoon at Balmoral.

Here's something lovely:
We'll all be able to play OG Wordle *together* for years to come. And it will be easy to do.

I realize of all the things the Trump administration did, their Covid response has been largely forgotten while we (understandably) focus on things like fomenting a coup. But their Covid response was criminal -- absolutely unforgivable, should have made them all pariahs.
The Trump admin. engaged in “deliberate efforts” to undermine the US response to the coronavirus pandemic for political purposes, congressional report concludes. nbcnews.to/3qdOzXQ

FMC = "Fuel moisture content"
California is ready to burn.
Fuel moisture content of wood in our forests is at a record low.

Fire season 2021 is looking grim. Our region's FMCs are tracking lower than the minimum-- a new record low. This is caused by the lack/delay of new growth. Average is 137%, low is 115%, 2021= 97% #wildfire #CAwx @wildfirecenter

I spoke with the wonderful @publicroad about how Beth Moore ruled a theological kingdom all her own.
There is a strange grief when people are unable to serve the institutions they love. There is no victory when churches fail us.

If your response to women talking about their fears of men as a result of the Sarah Everhard case is “I’m a good guy, this isn’t fair,” you’re not acting like as good of a guy as you think you are. What can you do to make women in your life feel safer? Go do that!

For my non-Texans, it’s hard to convey how f’d our state is. It’s barely broken freezing since Sunday. Half of Austin has been almost entirely w/out heat or power for 2.5 days. Water pressure is dropping and there’s a boil notice but half the city has no power to boil. Thread🧵⤵️

I love the argument that the failure of texas's power grid is bc texas is somehow very secretly a bastion of green energy

I go offline a few days and return to a GOP Gov blaming policies he hasn’t even implemented for his own failures.
Gov. Abbott doesn’t seem to have a grasp on his state, so here’s a reminder: Texas runs 80-90% on fossil fuels.
The real “deadly deal” is his failed leadership.

We're all bemoaning the celebrity Christian culture that led to the Ravi Zacharias & Carl Lentz (& so many more) sex & sexual abuse scandals.
But what if the problem is not just--or even mostly--celebrity culture?
What if it's the evangelical view of sex?
A thread.

McDonald’s worker in the US: $9/hr
McDonald’s worker in Denmark: $22/hr, 6 weeks of annual vacation, a union, 1 year of paid family leave, life insurance and pension.
America must join the rest of the industrialized world and ensure that our working class can live with dignity.

Heard of SARS-CoV2 variant from Japan?
No?
How about one from South Korea?
No?
Surely variants from New Zealand & Vietnam?
Of course not
Because these places haven't given rise to scary variants
But what places have.....has big implications for ending the pandemic

The central story of American politics right now is that one of the two parties is *radicalizing against democracy* in front of our eyes. There are tons of other stories as well, but they all come after that, I think.

SITTING U.S. SENATOR WHO FABRICATED CORE ELEMENTS OF HIS BACKGROUND WHICH HE USED TO GET ELECTED???
"Arkansas senator has repeatedly said he served as "a U.S. Army Ranger in Iraq and Afghanistan." That's not true."
Sen. Tom Cotton campaigned on his "experience as an Army Ranger" — but he didn't have any salon.com/2021/01/22/sen-tom…

Democrats need to treat this relief package (and their legislative agenda) the way McConnell treats Supreme Court nominations: you do what needs to be done to get it done.

Y’all can’t just be having Meghan trending ...
Those of us who follow politics, the Royals and pop culture don’t know if we’re talking about McCain, Markle or thee Stallion
