And this was the *second-most* popular tweet in my 215-tweet live debate thread. Why? Because Trump told America that the pandemic was basically over by *January 2021*... ...even though *over a million Americans died* after that date. Did major media cover this vile lie? Nope!
Replying to @SethAbramson
95/ Trump says Biden forced people to take vaccines even though the pandemic was over by January 20, 2021. As big a lie as ever said on a presidential debate stage.

American officials are fine with it too
A startling admission is buried in the @nytimes today: Israeli officials admit they are fine with "mass civilian casualties" in Gaza. The Israeli officials also cite the dropping of atomic bombs on Japan to justify the scale of expected civilian death in Gaza. Unconscionable.⬇️

"3000 children in Gaza out of a population of 1 million children is equivalent of 216,000 American children being killed in a 3-week period, through bombings, airstrikes, and artillery attacks." @Stevesosebee puts into harrowing perspective the human toll of the Israel-Hamas war

10/9/73: Happy 50th birthday to both MAN-THING #1 and MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE #1, both coming from the unquiet mind of Steve Gerber. Together they are excellent evidence Gerber could tell virtually any story he wanted, drop the swamp creature into it, and create something fascinating.

Just sent this to my 13 and 15 year-old grandsons. Most people don’t think of Kurt Vonnegut as a philosopher, but this is some of the best advice I can imagine giving a young person.

Trump is not neck and neck with Biden. There’s an entire industry & professional ecosystem that relies on pretending presidential races are “close”

It’s wild to me that these Republicans really believe every former Trump judge, lawyer, employee, mistress, and campaign worker is lying, that all the evidence has been faked, and the media in a vast conspiracy, instead of simply saying, “Maybe the guy’s just a fucking crook.”

Dr. Jake Kleinmahon is one of the only pediatric heart transplant doctors in the state of Louisiana. And now, he’s leaving because of the state’s anti-LGBTQ laws. motherjones.com/politics/202…

In celebration of all things sleaze, Maggot House brings this exploitation film back to life with this #punk release. Inspired by the 1987 cult classic, #StreetTrash is explosive with lyrics to make any #eggpunk smile. Single drops 9/1. World premiere on @kexppunkshow

7/24/73: Happy 50th birthday, Daimon Hellstrom! Premiering in MARVEL SPOTLIGHT #12, he was birthed in the same meeting (Stan wanted an action book about Satan) that produced Brother Voodoo & Satana. Predated THE EXORCIST movie by five months, inspired instead by Blatty's book.

I took 1 star reviews of #Barbie from furious men on letterboxd and put them on the posters because it makes the film seem ever cooler.
