I wasn’t planning to do a Tweets Post at the moment. I’m working on a couple of other more substantial posts that are taking a lot of time. However, there are a few things I want to bring to your attention. They’re not Good Things. They’re WTF things.

As I’ve said before, I’m (very) slowly doing a post about John Bolton. I think Donald Trump is aware that bringing Bolton into the White House is increasing the impression that he’s a warmonger. Despite liking to be seen as the Ultimate Tough Guy, he’s not so keen on the moniker “warmonger”. It appears he’s doing something about it. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing when this came on my screen. This is what you get when you try and do the right thing and learn other points of view!

Trumpy Bear!

This, dear readers, is the ‘Trumpy Bear Official Commercial’. I thought this was going to turn out to be some sort of left-wing mockery of Trump. But no. It’s real!

Third Month Mania

A new video has come out from The Daily Show to encourage people to vote in the final of ‘Third Month Mania’. You can find my take on that here if you haven’t already read it. There are three days left to vote, so be quick. It only takes a few seconds, and you can vote here.

Some Americans are Ignorant and Proud: Flat Earth Edition

This is a YouTube channel I’ve just found: Some Americans are Ignorant and Proud. This is video #127, so they’ve been around a while. I watched a couple of their other videos and I think they’re pretty funny, but I may have a warped sense of humour.

This recent video is dedicated to flat-earthers. Take note of the guy from around 3.30 on, who uses a model plane and globe to demonstrate “… the simplest irrefutable flat earth truth.” He earlier declares that everything he learnt in school after the sixth grade was a waste of time.

There’s some good stuff from Neil deGrasse Tyson in there too, especially right at the end.

Some memes you’ve probably all seen before …

Education Tweets

In honour of the stupid theme, here’s a tweet of mine.

The real reason the GOP don’t want to raise teacher wages. (Did you ever notice that the worst education rates are in red states?!) pic.twitter.com/61sHujbIM7

Scott Pruitt

Scott Pruitt is the subject of a lot of discussion in the comments on the last post, so I thought I’d post these recent cartoons about him:

Political Tweets

And since we’re on the subject of politics, I have to include Political Tweets.

This article by Madeleine Albright is one I highly recommend.

A must read by Madeleine Albright:

Will We Stop Trump Before It’s Too Late? https://t.co/9d2QmKA0sz

This is good … (Via Ann German.)

Trump says he didn’t know about Cohen’s hush money to Stormy Daniels. And he didn’t know about his Don Jr.’s meeting with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. And he didn’t know about WikiLeaks. This is now devolved to, “What didn’t the president know, and when didn’t he know it.”

This could get interesting … (Via Ann German.)

I really want to see the Presidential Directive ordering Kushner to do this.

Like, a lot.

Mueller Time Tweets

An update … (Via Ann German.)

“Armed with subpoenas compelling electronic records and sworn testimony, Mueller’s team showed up unannounced at the home of the business associate, who was a party to multiple transactions connected to Trump’s effort to expand his brand abroad”https://t.co/yyxN7KcYOu

Sinclair Media Tweets

Due to Sinclair Media being in the news, they’ve been a favourite topic of the political cartoonists in the last few days.

Human Rights Tweets

A man got a rejection slip for his manuscript from a female publisher. He went berserk on Twitter, deciding there was #MisandryInPublishing. There’s a pic of one of his tweets in this tweet: (Via Ann German.)

Imagine being so threatened about acknowledging your own privilege you decided periods were a freakish, voluntary political statement 😂 #misandryinpublishing pic.twitter.com/URlOWdTITj

— ♠️ Amanda Foody ♠️ (@AmandaFoody) April 5, 2018

There were quite a few hilarious response to his outburst, but really, it boils down to this …

Misogyny: literally kills women.

Misandry: A woman hurt my feelings.#Misandryinpublishing

You may think this belongs in the Political Tweets section, but I want to separate it from politics in the way John Pavlovitz has. This is about something much deeper and more important. The Trump presidency is doing enormous damage to the fabric of US society. The divisions were already there before Trump became president, but now they’re laid bare. I urge you all to read the article in the link of this tweet. In fact, to make it easier, just click here. (Via Ann German.)

“It’s about my grief at the ugliness you feel emboldened to post on social media now, the nastiness you seem newly capable of, the disgusting words you now so easily toss out around the dinner table.”#SaturdayMorning https://t.co/jC5F0GcIdq

London’s had such an amazing history for centuries. It would be so interesting to visit during any of them. (Well maybe not during the Blitz or when plague was raging!)

The latest news on what’s going on at Slimbridge. It’s not just birds – there’s news on the frogs and toads too. Slimbridge is on my list of places I have to visit if I ever get to England.

A chilled out kookaburra.

It amazes me sometimes how relaxed some wildlife can be around people. This kookaburra just sat on my fence as I took a close up on my iPhone. Calm as anything it really is nice having such great wildlife in the burbs. pic.twitter.com/O1e1P09JBZ
