Good morning from New York.

Trump is expected to call a Florida-based real estate broker to back up claims about Mar-a-Lago's value. The judge slammed this witness's pre-trial deposition — but found his testimony permissible.

@AlliFlowers So libraries should be promoters of propaganda. And the only reading allowed would be govt-approved literature. Ron de Santis wants his people educated his way. And he’s such a brilliant scholar, who could argue with him?

When does the whitewashing transition into aiding & abetting traitorous domestic terrorists? "Johnson said Republicans are blurring out the faces of people on the #J6 tapes "because we don't want them to be retaliated against and be charged the DOJ." -Jake Sherman

@AlliFlowers I can't tell if this means that Ronnie is trying to be socialist or fascist or both. Althusser would agree that, naturally, libraries are ALREADY a state apparatus. but turning them into something like state media (message) is wild.

obviously, the reactionary right is not bound by values. they are bound by their bigotry.

@AlliFlowers
But if true doesn't that put school libraries squarely in the remit of the 1st amendment, prohibiting them from censorship?

@AlliFlowers
Libraries are there to educate, not to support state propaganda.

Lesson number 172 why NOT to infuse religion into parenting.

Mom: "any time you feel like doing that (masturbating), just remember that picture of your Great Aunt Esther. She'll be looking down on you from Heaven."

Kid: ("hope she likes watching me masturbate.")

We would have parents bring kids into the ER for psych admission for beating off. (No we never admitted them)

Holy shit get a grip, Americans.

Three words: tax the rich.

Certain types of sea urchins will pick up a shell with their tube feet and ‘wear’ it, with a behavior known as “covering reaction”, mainly because they shy away from light.

So aquarium enthusiasts 3D-printed tiny hats and they actually wear them.
This isn't photoshop... it's real sea urchins wearing hats.
