Hands Off! was the biggest day of civic protest in years.

We want No Kings Day on June 14 to be even bigger โ€” with more people in more places driving even more defiance of Trumpโ€™s fascist agenda. There are over 1,000 events planned in all 50 states. Please join us: https://www.nokings.org/?SQF_SOURCE=indivisible

It wasnโ€™t me.

I laughed out loud.

A poll, inspired by my wonderful sister-in-law, whose English-Canadian family #dessert traditions include apple pie served with cheese.

For the record, I think apple pie should always be served to love ones or complete strangers with ice cream (I pair it with French Vanilla, but do not judge).

Please share widely for the most reliable results.

Apple Pie & Ice Cream
64.1%
Apple Pie & Cheese
10.1%
Apple Pie (standalone)
20.7%
I don't believe in dessert

US Secretary of Education Linda McMahon at the ASU+GSV Summit, an event focusing on educational innovation largely on artificial intelligence in education, said, โ€œA1โ€ when apparently meaning AI multiple times.

Maybe my fave sign of the day. My sister in Asheville sent me this
Holy crap. This guy understood the assignment. Nicely done. #handsoff

I laughed out loud.
@augieray oh that's deeply tragic though :(

@yora you know, there's very little to say to something like that, that isn't a block. we went and read your timeline a bit and, while we've never met you, you don't meet our threshold of obnoxiousness for blocking, so ...

have a good day. may you find what you seek.

@augieray aw I miss Ruthie! We were mutual followers over there for years. I remember that tweet and the fall out!
@urbanfoxe @augieray So it was satire? I'm finding it increasingly difficult to tell these days what with *gestures around at everything*
@ApostateEnglishman @augieray oh yes, she is a comedian. I actually saw her do a stand up show once in Dublin.

@urbanfoxe @ApostateEnglishman @augieray She was brilliant - her other classic tweet was:

"Really worried about my parrot. He keeps saying โ€œI canโ€™t go on. I hate my life.โ€ My roommate is too selfish to notice. Always busy crying."

@ApostateEnglishman @augieray in those days, it was still obvious it was satire, but I see why that is not clear now that we live in the upside-down.

@urbanfoxe @ApostateEnglishman @augieray We live in a post-irony world.

The Onion is struggling to make headlines unbelievable enough to not be taken seriously.

@soviut @urbanfoxe @ApostateEnglishman @augieray Was it Poe's Law?

Any sufficiently advanced extremism is indistinguishable from parody of that extremism.

@soviut @urbanfoxe @ApostateEnglishman @augieray

Hereโ€™s a free headline for the Onion: โ€œGovernment and the 1% decides to help the peopleโ€.

:(

@augieray Here we go ... the REAL dumb blonde dies because of being ignorant ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜ฌ
@Lstn2urmama @augieray she was joking, but you had to be a pos about it anyway
@noodlemaz @augieray Have been a victim of CARBON MONOXIDE and its NOT ANYTHING to be funny about and MANY have DIED from it...THAT I am positive about ....๐Ÿค” ๐Ÿšจ
@Lstn2urmama @augieray that's the point of the joke. That it's extremely serious and turning off an annoying alarm is a very silly thing to do. She's a comedian, it was obvious in context that it was a joke.
She is not dumb and using a dumb blonde insult here is pure misogyny.

@noodlemaz @augieray she is nothing other than a dumb blonde as have No idea who she is or was ... just a person with a dumb tale ...a nobody any different than yourself or myself .. where THRUTH means more than STUPIDITY...

WHERE dumb blonde status comes from in the public eye...

@Lstn2urmama @augieray OK get off my timeline with this. Dumb blonde jokes have been offensive for decades, get with the programme.
@noodlemaz @augieray so suddenly you do not like jokes eh...you certainly cannot make up your mind and you are on my loop ...๐Ÿ˜ and would like to advise you to think before you reply and learn when to walk away ...๐Ÿ˜‰
@augieray Hopefully nature takes its corse.
@iveyline @augieray she's a comedian. You're still a trashy person
@augieray I laughed, but I cried...
@chasalin @augieray just laughing is fine because she's a comic

@noodlemaz

Yeah, but some people are really that dumb.
Like the antivaxxers.

@augieray

@augieray Maybe a few minutes laying flat down on the floor will cool her down and โ€žcureโ€œ her dizziness. #darwin
@augieray they sound loud and beeping?

@augieray
sounds very AMERICAN

@Eisbaer, you sound a little biased and uninformed. Ruthe is from Dublin. (Besides, she meant this as a humorous post.)

What the hell is it with people thinking Americans are somehow less informed than the rest of the world on topics of COVID and safety? I mean, are there nations in Europe with higher vax rates, more masking, and more actions on air quality in public spaces? (The answer is a few, but not many.)

@augieray Either joke or natural selection about to invoke.
