Father, Navy Vet and I swear like it; so-so guitar player. No tolerance for MAGA. Think I’m 20, look 60, ache like I’m 90. No DMs- instant block.

In 1969 WMAR-TV reporter Susan White interviewed DON RICKLES on location in Yugoslavia whilst he was shooting “Kelly’s Heroes” (working title at the time “The Warriors”). RICKLES had a reputation for not letting reporters get a word in edgeways, so Susan decided to hilariously turn the tables…

Once again, Nichols being the myopic neocon that he is. Maybe $ doesn’t fix everything, but you can’t fix shit without it. And frankly my local PD doesnt need armored vehicles and helicopters. ICE doesn’t need a budget that rivals nations. Put that money whee it can benefit people, not kill them.

Some inner city schools do well. Some don't. Some rural schools do well. Others don't. Money - and this we learned the hard way - cannot really influence outcomes. Culture, environment, parents - they matter more. I feel like I'm talking to people who missed the last 60 years of US history :) /4x

The ending of this verse, little discussed, is that an old woman walked up, grabbed a heavy boulder, and made the final blow. Jesus turned to her and said, “Ma, you really piss me off sometimes.”

Jesus, of course, famously stopped a public execution (stoning) by declaring "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." Suspect people like the one quoted below would have no compunction about casting that first stone.

Tom Nichols - no taste in music, food, and now Star Trek. Didn’t think he could be a bigger asshat but he surprised me.

Data is a robot and one of the worst things about TNG, after Wesley and Troi and the Holodeck

I can only imagine what it’s like to be on the receiving end of a look like this.

Bullshit dismissals from “experts” like Tom here are half the reason we are where we are. To ascribe rational explanations to batshit crazy behavior is so myopic and so harmful.

I think the Los Angeles thing was just a garbled stupid thing that came out differently than he intended, but Jill is right in general that his jokes are not really jokes

There’s not as many as there used to be, sadly. The best were weekends on the UWS when trains are spaced out and you got serenaded by a classical violinist. It was literally a movie scene.

If you’re in the New York subway and a street musician is playing your song and your wife is there, you have to dance with her. I did.

The AI slop of Sen. Klobuchar in a Hawkeyes costume is stupid, not funny. It brings a serious issue down to the clown admin’s level. There was a full day of testimony with damning evidence yet all media is saturated with the same 3 minute clip and photoshopped/AI slop memes. /rant over.

Bluesky stroking out for anyone else? Can only see Following feed. Notifications were out dor a few minutes to with ‘upstream feed failed to respond.”

When that orange asshole finally leaves the WH, and he WILL be leaving, the American people need to sue him and the rest of his criminal syndicate of a so-called family, for every fucking dime they stole from us. Every. Fucking. Dime.

If you saw this trending item and thought, “WTF?”, click into it because the pope has that exact “WTF is this thing?” face on, and the comments do not disappoint.

So, when Blake Treinen and Alex Call refuse to wear the #Dodgers pride hats, that's okay because "personal religious beliefs." But if your religious belief is we shouldn't murder innocent children, that's an $11,492 fine? WTF

Talarico up by 6 in Texas! And all this fine Christian had to do was kick the least of us, the most persecuted of us, trans kids, to the curb. Good to see he’s just a politician. Not that there’s a third choice, since Paxton is 1000 times worse.
