Gen X trying to find relevance. I have a husband, 3 sons, and a best friend who lives too far away from me. Introvert who needs distance. No touching.

Good thing no one fact checks anymore. Otherwise someone would have to die to make this one stick.

Trump on DC: "One of my top people got killed waiting for his wife to come out of an office building, bring her home. And this guy comes up and wants the car and shoots him right through the head. Dead."

I'm concerned my husband's company is going to make him move to MS or force him out. They are already laying the groundwork. I kind of hope they do because I would love to see the ensuing implosion. But, he still has a significant amount of un-vested RSUs they gave in lieu of equitable compensation

Hey Alaska! Trump thinks you are all as dumb as him. Are you going to take that???

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump says Alaska’s ballot is illegal because people don’t know what “incumbent” means

I thought Vance shaved his beard before I realized that was DeSantis standing next to him. The GOP failsons are all so interchangable.

Q: Your ambassador to Turkey just said that 'absolutely, there could a strike on Iran this weekend.' Have you gone back on holding off until after the midterms? TRUMP: If that's the case, I don't know anything about it

Yes, Oligarchs have replaced any semblance of a Democracy (or Republic) government in this country

Toby Buckle@polphilpod.bsky.social

does the media ever—ever—ask republicans to disavow this open white supremacist?

He hasn't given his life yet. He's still pretty far back in line of "has given up more for this country than anybody in history"

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Kristi Noem: "That man has given up more for this country than anybody in history, has taken more persecution, his family has suffered, yet they keep stepping up and serving and doing the right thing"

Sure. Ok. He should probably stay away from open windows. And stairs. He'll never release the "explosive recordings." No one ever release the evidence. This nightmare will never see justice.

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

🚨 WOW: In a new video, Trump donor Eric Deters announces a lawsuit against Kimberly Guilfoyle, threatens to depose her and Don Jr., and teases an explosive recording. “This might just bring down the ENTIRE Trump administration,” he warns.

We have ballots at my house! No exciting races to vote on, but a Constitutional Amendment to vote down. Happy voting Utah. Know where your drop boxes are.

Went to the Dr yesterday. 1 of the screening questions was "have you been exposed to measles in the last 21 days?" That's the 1st time in my 50+ years of life I've been asked. Farking MAHA is going to kill us. Also, idk, probably, since it's clearly in the community right now

This AI Race is going to have us doing to our country what the Soviet Union did to their country during the Arms Race. It did not turn out well for the people. ...although the oligarchs did pretty well.

Miaganga@miaganga.bsky.social

My son is reading a biography of Woodrow Wilson because, and I quote, "If I'm going to hate WW with every fiber of my being, I'm going to know why." and he shares little tidbits with me. Folks, he was not a good man. I knew he screened Birth Of A Nation in the WH, but that's low on his racist scale

I had a dream I accompanied my husband on a business trip to Finland. The weather was very pleasant and the people were so warm and welcoming. I feel like I now need to book a trip to see if that's true. I can't take anyone's word for it, I have to know for myself.

I like how the AI used to make this gave us 3 style options. Plain white, baseball stripes, and rugby stripes. I'll take the plain in a large, please.

It's not a circus until the clowns hold a public execution. Also, If you're in line for the circus bread please stay in line.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Pentagon says the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan will be livestreamed in December.

Oooo, I do think I have "Trump brings back the trans-Atlantic slave trade" on my Bingo card.

Whoa. @haleaziz.bsky.social has the scoop on a truly insane plan to use some military training ships for deportations, with people presumably shackled or locked in cells for days at a time as they transit to Central and South America. Each journey would be staggeringly expensive — and dangerous.

I made a pot of ham chowder today in an attempt to try and will fall weather into existence. How is it October 8th and it's 80 degrees in Northern Ut?

I'm aboard an airplane about to embark on a 23 hour travel extravaganza, arriving at my destination in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. Pray for me to whichever God's you think are listening.

I also look at Chemtrails. When I'm laying in my hammock on a sunny day. I like when there are a lot of them and they cross over each other. Sometimes I take a deep breath in. Just in case.

RFK Jr: "We are also looking at chemtrails"

Things must be REALLY bad if he's willing to talk about whatever did or did not happen in Butler.

A bipartisan task force was set up by a unanimous House vote in July ‘24, 2 weeks after this incident. It had 7 R’s and 5 D’s. The task force had full house investigatory powers, including subpoena powers & 4 R’s were no shows for the initial site visit. This man lies to no end.

Jesus. Just feed people to lions in the coliseum already. What are we even doing anymore?

DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net

Netflix has announced a new reality series titled ‘THE NEW STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT’. The series follows 30 participants who enter a real prison and are randomly assigned as guards or prisoners. They must see if they conform to the roles or if morality wins.

Wait, is that what the B stands for???

Kash Patel: "Applicants who have engaged in beastiliaty means they were victims of beastility because they were forced to do so. At this FBI we are not going to criminalize and prevent victims from serving."

My youngest is in his 4th year of an Engineering degree. He has 2 older brothers with degrees. I had no idea there was a parent's forum for colleges. University is their business, not mine.

Why not? It's not like little Marco is doing his titled job. At least when Vance does it it doesn't pull him away from any responsibilities

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump says Marco Rubio will help serve as press secretary (he's somehow not joking!)

Oh, so the DEA can be bothered to inspect our food, but not the FDA?

CNN@cnn.com

More than 2,000 pounds of methamphetamine were found hidden in a shipment of cabbage in Texas, according to the DEA. The seizure was part of a multi-agency investigation in the Rio Grande Valley.

My son's drs office uses ai for record keeping. And it's trying to kill him. My son is on anti-rejection meds. He's been running out well before the next refill recently. He thought his pharmacy had been shorting him. We've been paying cash price for a weeks worth of meds so he doesn't go without ⬇️

He mentioned the discrepancy to his Dr and he said, "yeah, moving everything had had some hiccups." Hiccups? These are life sustaining meds that insurance will not refill early if the wrong script is sent to the pharmacy. ⬇️

ai is not ready for medical practice if it's making these kinds of mistakes in patient record keeping. People's lives are on the line when it hallucinates something as basic as prescription scripts.

He happened to have an appt w/ his dr this week. As they were going over his meds he discovered the dosage they had on record for ALL of his meds was incorrect. And that was what had been sent to the pharmacy. The pharmacy didn't short him. The ai did. ⬇️

I was living on an Air Force base, so, news traveled pretty fast. It was my husband's second day back to work after paternity leave and he called me to tell me with enough time that I was able to turn on the TV in time to see the 2nd plane hit.

That's a pie crust promise. How many suckers are willing to sell their country for $5K?

Trump: "If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate...I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000."

Give it a couple of days and he will have been inside the Woeld Trade Center when it was hit and carried people to safety.

Trump on 9/11: "I just thank my people. I was building a big building in New York & I took the whole crew down there right after this happened & they had no hesitation. Everybody went down with me... we thought it was coming down on top of us... two fireman lifted me up and started running with me"

My son got a summer job this year, decent pay, full-time and even some over-time. For 4 weeks. Then they were hit with supply chain issues. I think he worked 5 or 6 days more before school started. And it wasn't like there were jobs aplenty and he could just find something else in July.

A Labor Day reminder: having a job is no longer enough to protect millions of Americans from homelessness. For many workers, the greatest threat isn't losing their job. It's that their job will never pay enough, never provide enough hours, never offer enough stability to keep them housed.

This is dumb. Journalists could go to Defense Contractors and get the same info. They know what is being requested by the pentagon and the urgency behind the orders. Whiskey Pete is in full panic mode and the info is out of his control now.

I stopped by my dentist's office this afternoon and the pediatrician next door had a measles outbreak sign on their door warning everyone they needed to be vax'ed to go inside. I kind of feel like they should have put the sign on the main door of the building since we all walk through the lobby.
