Overrated: Gone With The Wind Underrated: Grosse Pointe Blank

@olbermann.bsky.social, it's good to have you back, live and nationwide. Your post 9/11 reportage for the late, lamented KFWB here in L.A. was the perfect/poignant return to the mic.

Whoever has mine can feel free to take a break anytime now. Really. Put the doll down and take a break. You've done plenty.

This was entertaining. Detect a trend? whereidlive.com?f=ASS7ZIUiYy...

The onky karaoke song me and my cant-carry-a-tune-in-a-bucket voice dares to sing.

@puck.news political correspondent John Heilemann had Tapper on his podcast, which marked the last time I listened to John Heilemann.

Brilliant.

Gutfeld is as funny as a tumor. Because punching down isn't funny.

All the worst people are in many of the most important jobs. The worst people.

Down the rabbit hole we go.

One of the many freelance gigs I do as I pursue getting back into the full-time game. Breaking down college football opportunities for @igamingplayer. So you don't have to. igamingplayer.com/the-shuffle/...

@olbermann.bsky.social @olbermann.bsky.social, I presume you noticed @mlb.com leaving out the last sentence of Vin Scully's iconic call of Hank Aaron's 715th during its tribute: "A Black man. Is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking the record of a. All-time baseball idol. ..."

When people learn how the Republican budget bill would take from the poor to give to the rich—a reverse Robin Hood—they’re overwhelmingly against it. But too many people haven’t heard about what a disaster this bill would be for most Americans. Start a conversation with your friends and neighbors

The Cardinals picked a pope quicker than it took Shedeur Sanders to get drafted.

Came to this conclusion during Felon47's first term, simply based on the fanaticism I saw from people I grew up with. It's gotten worse over the ensuing years. Far worse. I've had a few once-dear friends choose Cheeto Mussolini over four- and five-decade friendships.

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

They called him Sleepy Joe because we could sleep at night.

Come to think about it, they do bear a resemblance to Scut Farkas and Grover Dill.

Movies you've watched more than 6X. GIF's only

Making the rounds-and I don't know who came up with it--but it's genius: "I hope the world is as lucky as the Delta jet--everyone survives and the right wing vanishes."

Not only was @arsenalfc.bsky.social 's 5-1 beat-down exquisite, but seeing Pep Guardiola's I-just-swallowed-owl-shit look repeatedly was a drug i can't get enough of.

A sane country. If they want to annex the West Coast, we're ready. I've memorized "Oh Canada" eons ago. It's a better anthem than ours anyway.

I've had one in me about my adventures substitute teaching at the school district I grew up in 40+ years ago. My Facebook followers know this as The Sub Chronicles. And I actually have a few chapters written. But the Crevasse of Celebrity Obsession and Perils of Publisher Apathy stop me.

This Maladministration is like Wile E. Coyote... without the creativity or the charm.

The Super Bowl everyone in Missouri and Eastern Pennsylvania were clamoring for. As for the rest of us...

Can’t wait t’git my hands on nem cheap eggs!

Today, honor a King, not a Felon. #mlkday2025

As someone who has books dating back 50 years, this hits me in the feels. See @veronicabane.bsky.social. See her now.

The Ghost of William Henry Harrison is holding on Line One.

Here’s a (very long) fact sheet on the Biden Administration’s record of accomplishments. Please feel free to share this ahead of his Farewell Address to the Nation from the Oval Office tonight at 8 pm EST. 🇺🇸

I apologize to the car I almost swerved into yesterday morning on the 405, thanks to @olbermann.bsky.social calling JD Vance, "A urine specimen with a beard." Laughter made me do it.

According to flag protocols, the American flag shall fly at half-staff for 30 days following the death of a president. That means President Carter left one beautiful Eff-You to Trump... and one more selfless act of service to the country that owes him more than it can repay.

Without downloading any new pics, what's your energy going into 2025?

Two days late for this MOT to have Chinese food, but better late than never. Now, can I have USC lose the Las Vegas Bowl. Because when those corrupt, entitled tools lose, America wins.

@nhloutofcontext.bsky.social, this @lakings.bsky.social fan thanks you for the follow.

As someone was was in a dark, fucking place five years ago, I'm duty-bound to post this. Could two followers please copy and re-post this tweet to show that someone is always there? National Suicide Prevention Hotline Call: 0800 689 5652 (UK) 1-800-273-8255 (USA) 1.833.456.4566 (Canada)

I'm old enough to not only remember a media that spoke truth to power and didn't abrogate its responsibilities by bothsidesing everything into oblivion but to have worked in it.

Blocked my first account here. And believe it or not, it wasn't political. Someone calling me out for not knowing what I'm doing in the PR game because I snarkily questioned Beyonce needing a PR staff when she doesn't grant interviews. She has "Bitchy" in her name. That tracks.

People hate health insurance companies with a passion. They’re not laughing because someone died—they’re laughing because the system that crushed them finally took a hit.

According to AAA, more than 71 million people are traveling this weekend. A remarkable stat, considering three weeks ago, nobody could afford eggs.

Ah, THAT'S my manic-depressive team that I've expended untold amounts of psychic energy rooting for since I was 8-years old. Beat the best team in the NHL ... two nights after losing to one of the worst. @lakings.bsky.social

If you want to have a successful Bluesky post just ask yourself “is this something an old person would complain about?” If yes, then press post as fast as you fuckin can

Post a GIF of your favorite comfort teevee show.

Cal manages to eke out a three-point, come-from-behind victory over Herbert Hoover Polytechnic School of Eugenics--as 14 1/2-point favorites. Always good to keep The Axe. But more of the same in terms of penalties & wasted drives Regardless, Cal is going bowling. Furd Srs, meanwhile... bupkis.

Meet Kopi Akili Robin, aka Snarf-butt. Got him from a friend when he was 6 weeks ago. Her daughter found him dumped on her porch. She already had two kitties, so she gave him to my friend, who gave him to me. Missed my cats when I moved out 13 years ago. Kopi arrived at the right time.

I was blocked & defriended by a childhood friend who took offense at the old name of my fantasy football team: Rand Paul's Neighbor. I told her I changed it 2 years ago because of the attack on Paul Pelosi. Three guesses who she supported for POTUS. The first two don't count.
