- Reposted by GeraldineAfter Max goes back to HBO Max, it goes back to being HBO, then Home Box Office, then Sterling Cable Network, then Manhattan Cable, as the grass grows back into the ground and we all marvel at Video Jukebox, George Carlin Specials and G-String Divas
- Reposted by GeraldineAn electorate who thinks it’s OK to vote for a man who has zero interest in public service but just exploiting public office to enrich himself is a broken electorate.
- Reposted by GeraldineEveryone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns
- Reposted by GeraldineBefore we hate on the Met Gala again, it is a CHARITY fund raiser to keep the Costume Institute open. In case you don't know, textiles take a lot of work, care, and money to preserve and study for future generations. That is where the money goes-- to textile study and conservation, not celebs.

- Diana Ross having this look just sitting in her closet is the flex I didn't know I needed.

- I cannot actually think of something more unimaginatively, stupidly villainous than a very wealthy man telling children they need fewer toys
- That's no moon.
- I mean, I kind of get it: he wants to pretend his sexless existence is his choice
- Sometimes I start to forget everything that's upsetting me but then I open my phone and I have a handy up to the minute list. (The list is the news.)
- Reposted by GeraldineMy friend @everywhereist.bsky.social is a James Beard-award winning writer, and I highly recommend following her. An essay I still think about is her very funny review of 21 Mountain Dew flavors: www.everywhereist.com/2022/07/i-tr...

- Reposted by Geraldine🔥 @ninajankowicz.com to the European Parliament: "Before I describe the details of Russia's recent online influence campaigns, I would like to call upon you to stand firm against another autocracy: The United States of America."
- Reposted by GeraldineDonald Trump *personally* caused the crisis in confidence in US bonds, the approx 10% slide in the S&P 500 in the last month, and the unfolding collapse of international tourism to the United States. Leaving aside everything he did before, he should be the biggest pariah ever to hold the office.
- "I highly recommend this book. She’s a hot mess and a total delight; great combo." Y'all, @sarahknightauthor.bsky.social just did a lovely write up of my book, and if you need a break from the *waves hands, screams* you should read it. sarahknightauthor.substack.com/p/you-should...

- Honestly, in addition to this being just deeply stupid and racist and hateful, even if it were true (it's not) you don't get to just fucking throw due process out the window
- Reposted by Geraldineso they're mycoblogging
- Imagine being fired by Donald Trump for mishandling top secret information, how will his gin-soaked sex pest ego ever recover
- Reposted by GeraldineThis epic article by @everywhereist.bsky.social is a no-holds-barred descent into eating your feelings. It is political in the most delightfully acerbic sense. And thanks to Geraldine's self-sacrifice, I might never eat candy again. www.everywhereist.com/2025/03/its-... #humor #writing

- @everywhereist.bsky.social I just finished “If You Can’t Take the Heat”. I’ve been reading it off and on, a chapter at a time for a few months now. The last chapter brought a tear to my eye. It’s simply perfect. My mom passed in January of 2001. For Christmas that year … 1)

- You spelled rape wrong.
- OR GOP chair Jerry Cummings’ ex-wife said the couple met in the Portland area when she was 16 and he was 26, and serving as an associate pastor. “On occasion, he would visit [her] when her parents were out of town and take her to hotels." www.wweek.com/news/2025/04...
- Reposted by GeraldineAbusers have patterns: they will, at times, stop kicking you in the stomach, or choking you, or beating the crap out of you for spells of time, and then expect you to be very grateful (excessively, flamboyantly) that they stopped beating, choking or kicking. And if you don't, they get outraged.
- This current water pressure stupidity is designed by the administration to change the subject and focus away from the fact that they committed insider trading. Focus on the fact that they tanked the market to line their own pockets. They belong in prison.
- They tanked the global economy to line their own pockets. Numerous members of his cabinet just became billionaires as a result. These people belong in the Hague.
- Reposted by GeraldineKidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

- This is the literal destruction of knowledge. Mississippi libraries are being ordered to remove academic research on race and gender from library databases. mississippitoday.org/2025/04/08/m...
- Reposted by GeraldineRaskin: The basis for this most destructive trade war in the history of the world is the profound economic research and policy writings of one Ron Vera, a completely fictional economist conjured up by Peter Navarro, a real person who Elon Musk just called a moron
- Look, I get it. Fancy ass penguins wearing tuxes everywhere, even when I said it's super casual and we're just hanging out eating fish. Maybe those snobby jerks deserve the tariffs is what I'm saying.
- Reposted by GeraldineA reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.
- What an absolute asshat. This is something a super villain says. "Your protests mean nothing."

- Reposted by GeraldineI'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.
- Honestly just checking the internet periodically to see if he's dead yet.
- Reposted by GeraldineAlso I hope we're all on this same page EVERYONE needs to be brought out of that El Salvadorian hell hole they were ALL wrongfully deported. I mean it's good to focus on 'And this guy was here legally and not ever a gang member AND they're Venezuelan' but NO ONE should've been sent there

- New Italian super villain just dropped.
- Oh my heavens, thank you so much!
- Good things come to those who wait, and my 218-deep @thestorygraph.com to-read pile is the measure of my patience with library holds. But if it's books by @everywhereist.bsky.social (absolute delight to follow) and @seejanemarie.bsky.social (longtime favourite podcaster), I'm buying now. #Booksky

- Reposted by Geraldinejust think if Jeffrey Goldberg didn't voluntarily leave that group chat. they never would've figured out he was in there.
- They're so fucking stupid. Never forget that. Whenever you truly start to get upset by how evil these dipshits are, remember that they probably Google "where is Netflix in Gmail"
- I've been thinking about this a lot. One of the most powerful things the world could do is refuse to come to the World Cup. This would be devastating to the US (and to my city, in particular, which is hosting several of the games).
- So far, FIFA is bending the knee and Trump is acting like he's really excited to show off America 2.0 to the world next year. But things could get really ugly if players start declaring they won't come to the US and take the risk of being detained. apnews.com/article/trum...
- Reposted by GeraldineI’m not reposting that stupid thing from Elon, but his daughter is alive and pretty fucking awesome and he could have taken her as she was and been super proud of her and bragged about how his daughter was way more cool than he could ever be but noooooooooo, he’s just a fucking right wing asshole.
- Reposted by GeraldineJust found out NIH has officially canceled our grant, a longitudinal study of Alzheimer's disease in Black Americans. I cannot even put into words how angry I am. The truth is they are canceling it because it has Black in the title. That's it, there is no other reason to do this.
