Thomas Massie just lost. Do you suppose there’s any chance he’ll caucus with Democrats on some issues in his remaining time?

🤣

Thank you for everything, #BillMoyers. I’m going to miss you.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Sound familiar?

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

I miss Anthony Bourdain today. He was a good person and he had a really positive influence on me. I miss him.

1800 points down right now. In 2 days, Donald Trump has stolen a year of my retirement fund. I'm not real thrilled with that.

My 401K lost $2083 today, and this is directly attributable to Donald Trump. Really looking forward to tomorrow.

Americans, please consider reducing spending if you can. This evil machine needs to be starved.

If your living situation permits, consider an e-bike. My goal is to spend as little as possible during the Trump administration. And cars, new and used, are about to get a lot more expensive. Also, e-bikes are a lot of fun. For your consideration.

“Yeah, but I'm saying that TruCoat. You don't get it, you get oxidation problems. It'll cost you a heck of a lot more than $500.”

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you. If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you. If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you. We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

Content creators, please consider doing more of this. It's a split screen with Trump lying and contradicting himself. I think it's very effective to show split screens of Trump exposing himself as a worthless liar, over and over and over again. packaged-media.redd.it/om0azjs8tooe...

Moskowitz was one of 10 House Dems who joined the GOP in voting for the censure of Al Green. That’s just a long way to say “I have no party, no representation”.

With a fully remote team of just 20 employees, Bluesky has surpassed 20 million users in its first year since opening to the public and is stealing thunder from rivals hundreds of times its size. At a time when conventional wisdom among bosses is that workers must be in-person to be productive.

Spooky Force Gazette and I are new friends here, but based on this post alone, I recommend a follow.

Today I took the training wheels off and deleted Twitter. Farewell, Leon. Goodbye, trolls who tell me I "can't handle the truth". I won't miss the jarring experience of seeing a reasonable tweet, only to open it and have to dig through a maggot infestation just to find reasonable replies.

I rock out to Barry Manilow—and I vote! I’m field testing some hip messaging to attract younger voters. What do you think—too edgy?

Listen to Wanda.

There's home skoolin', and then there is WTAF results in this fuck/shit stack:

I will always be there for the story of what happened when Don Was introduced Iggy Pop to Leonard Cohen. (From Bob Mehr’s fascinating interview of Don Was in a 2022 edition of Mojo.)

I'm reading a spy novel called Leaving Berlin, by Joseph Kanon. I've read about 10% of the book and I'm starting to get into it. We'll see. What fiction are you reading, and do you have recommendations?

Before I get too far into this thing, who owns Bluesky, and do they have a penchant for fascism, hurting little people, xenophobia, becoming galactic emperor, stuff like that?

I've just signed up and spent a few minutes following everyone I could who has migrated from Twitter. I'm so glad to be away from the weirdos who want to drink my tears and god knows what other bodily fluids.I'm really hoping this platform takes off and leaves Elmo Goebbels wondering what happened.
