Former Air Force broadcast journalist. Got a piece of paper that says I know how communications work. That was something. We won’t agree on everything but that’s ok.

This is not an app for people who want to be informed on what is happening in the world. It is a carefully curated garden of old and out of touch people. Clinging to nice ideas that fundamentally fail in implementation. Later✌🏻

There are a lot of truly insane people in this world. This is one of them. This thread is a cess pool of the most mentally ill people echoing violent rhetoric. They wonder why their causes get put to the side. It’s because of these people.

#theboys Ending felt so much worse than I was hoping for out of the show. I get what they were going for but the way they got there was so ham fisted it was almost unwatchable. Sidelining disabilities for easier writing thus once again marginalizing disabled communities for convenience. Hypocrites.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Could you be any more ineffective? Maybe grow your own personality in a jar or something? How on earth do you expect to lead the Democratic Party when you have been unable to do anything? Desantis just made you look like a punk. Do better.

Multiple FBI raids happening in Minneapolis and yet crickets in the BlueSky. This is why this app is so unpopular outside very select circles.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social If you had any integrity you wouldn’t have worked against banning insider trading for members of congress and the house. You’re a charlatan. You and any member on either side are now on watch by the public. You don’t fix the problem we will get rid of you come elections.

Joe Rogan just helped to get approval for research into psychedelics that helps people off opioids. Another Democrat win given to the Republicans because Democrats would rather say they want to fix the problem instead of addressing the problems of actual Americans.This will help so many of our vets.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social I don’t think you or any other politician should be able to falsely inflate their book sales through back alley dealings. You’re a blight upon our system and a drag on the tax payer. Can’t wait to watch you flounder under pressure.

The way Japanese and American relations are going make me so happy. As a teen in Texas I really enjoyed learning about Japanese culture. Then I learned they’re doing US western bars in Japan. We’re both looking at each other going “neat”.

Thinking about the family of the KC-135 crash. I can only imagine the pain and pride they’re feeling. A tragic accident that took bravery lives. May they rest easy.

What is crazy to me about people not supporting the Iran conflict is we literally know they killed thousands of their own people protesting. The entire free world has a moral obligation to act to protect those people.

Keep seeing “concentration camps” come up describing the ICE detention facilities. This messaging makes you look uneducated. This false equivalence is ludicrous and should be a red flag indicator to not take that person seriously.

I’d prefer we didn’t attack Iran but seeing the people celebrating in the streets does help. I hope the Iranian people are able to rebuild quickly once this is over. Women free for the first time in years to live outside a theocratic tyranny that suppresses their freedoms.

Team USA brought out Johnny Gaudreau's kids for their gold medal photo 🥹

US hockey players honored the late Johnny Gaudreau after their gold medal win ❤️ His family was in the stands to see the moment.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social Encapsulates the biggest problems with the Democratic Party. He has no problem lying to your face. He is completely reactionary. Will do whatever he feels benefits himself regardless of his stated positions. The guy posts about climate change from private jets. Aka a grifter

Just because you pretend a law doesn’t exist doesn’t mean they won’t arrest you for it. These protesters could give sovereign citizens a run for their money in a saying stupid shit contest.

Another vertical format small watercolour. This one shows All Saints' Passage in Cambridge (1999). On the right you can see the sign for Ray's Barber Shop. Cambridge has always had wonky old lamps (some of them used then to still be gas lit) #art #watercolour #Cambridge

People are tired of voting for candidates promising vague value based promises. Those positions look nice but do nothing to address systemic problems. Cool, you like everybody. Now how are you going to build the trains? How are you going to fix education. Come forward with a plan or you lose.

The main issue I don’t understand in the Trans locker argument. Why does one persons comfort come above multiple peps discomfort? I get feeling like you’re in the wrong body. Body dysmorphia has been documented for over 100 years. I just don’t get the entitlement. Changing at home is not that hard.
