Why I like Bluesky: You can get into an hours long back and forth that is filled with humor, sarcasm and snark and at the end of it think, "wow he/she seems really nice." Then, 24 hours later, you've completely forgotten that they even exist. That's about all the socializing I'm good for.

No need to ask. And while I will be voting blue, the Democrats are unlikely to fix this. Unions, both labor and consumer, are the only answer. It will be a tough fight to reclaim our economy, just like happened at the turn of the 20th Century. Americans aren't ready yet I'm afraid.

I stand with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Slava Ukraini!

I've gotten on a mailing list for the New York Sun, a new paper to compete with the Times I assume? Got an email this morning from Alan Dershowitz telling me how great this new paper is. As if I would participate in anything he does!🙄

Like I said...

I'm pretty sure nobody that follows me is a big sports fan but the Western Michigan game was a great reminder why I'm not much of a sports fan any more. They got cheated.

I was going to ask how the Target boycott was going yesterday but didn't get to it. Then I read the Target news today and I quickly realized it's still on!

When that day comes, is there any way we can fly the flags higher instead of lower?

Is it possible to fly your flag at one and one half staffs? Asking for a friend.

I can smell 300 followers. Currently at 292. 50 weirdos, 41 crackpots, 200 bots and @sundaedivine.lol. Not bad.

Hey @oldduffy.bsky.social your account is sending out that spam chat about badges. Thought you should know.

I believe it was aliens. The new crop circles.

Hey @cali-candace.bsky.social, I checked today and my definition of texty made the urban dictionary! I'm somebody now.

Exactly the vibe I was looking for!

Hey @cali-candace.bsky.social, it's about time for a new pic. My timeline is looking pretty texty. Is that a word?

If people who are different feel threatening, not fascinating, the problem is you.

If everyone would just read the Dr. Seuss story The Sneetches, they would understand everything that is wrong with our country. Too many people are worried about what somebody else has and too many people are overly concerned about everyone being the same. "They have stars upon thars!"

I've never had the opportunity to try Slaps BBQ in Kansas City. As of today, I can quit worrying about that because I wouldn't eat there now if you paid me. (visited the White House today for those who didn't know)

Watch as tRump blames and fires all or most of the women in his administration and replaces them with men. More consolidation of power around knuckle-dragging, ignorant, hateful white men.

When is Pete Hegseth going to comment on the precision lethality of our planes going down in Iraq?

Becoming a fully realized adult requires the ability to understand that you should not be afraid of people that are different than you, things that are new to you, concepts that are foreign to you and situations that make you uncomfortable. We are a nation run by children.

Secretly rooting for Denmark to beat the US in hockey today. Oops, I guess not so secretly any more.

Tonight’s sunset. One of the best I’ve ever seen. Ocean Beach, San Diego, California #SanDiego #sunset #OceanBeach #landscapelovers #surfing

Hey @cali-candace.bsky.social my timeline is getting a little bleak. Time for another picture of Cali that I can retweet to provide a touch of sanity.

And once again, the Dems look like they are blowing an opportunity. When they get these weak concessions and then vote for DHS funding, the administration will simply ignore the constraints and leadership will lose even more credibility, if that is even possible.

I'm sure I'm not the first to post this but it is quite sick that we are threatening to attack Iran because they are killing protesters when ICE is killing and maiming citizens right here in the US, for protesting. Bizarro World.

MAGA will use whatever means necessary, including duct tape to keep tRump together until he completes over half his term. Then they will find a way to discard him so that Vance can take over and still be eligible to run for two terms. Watch this space.

If the next Democratic President doesn't immediately get to work, with Congress, to dismantle all of the oligopolies that have developed in this country, nothing else matters. The corporations have more power than our government at this point. Break them up now. Every day we don't, we will suffer.

I did it, 200 followers! It's 125 insane people and 75 bots. Not bad.

Exciting news, I'm only seven followers away from 200! Yep, I've got 193 followers and only 25 percent of them want to show me naked pics in my DMs. Clearly, I'm a Bluesky superstar.

I need some time in Temecula.

Don't take it from me. @balter54.bsky.social

Just when I began to have hope about Democrats after last weeks wins, our Senators cave on the shutdown. I have come to the realization that I have less faith in our ability to win this battle against oligarchy than ever. I left X when Musk bought it and now I'm out on politics completely.

This is correct @realtexaspaul.com

This is correct. @realtexaspaul.com

This. I'm not saying it's easy for the country, but Congresswoman Jayapal is 100 percent correct @realtexaspaul.com.

Today I woke up excited for my move to Virginia or New Jersey where I will find transgender for everyone!

Drove right by one yesterday to shop at my least favorite place in the world, Walmart. They're really no better but I'll get to them next. Also, don't buy Goya.

The wallet is the only vote we have left.

Killing presumably innocent fishermen without evidence will not get you into heaven.

I hate that Americans are losing their right to free speech. Oh, wait, is that hate speech? Am I going to jail? Call my wife and tell her I always loved her.

Hey @mcuban.bsky.social, the time is right to start your own streaming service/cable network. There is plenty of talent available and to say the demand is pent up would be underselling it. I know it will make some people mad that you actually have the financial ability to do it, but they will watch.

I'm pretty sure that there will be a couple of people that are happy when I'm dead. Maybe up to five. I'm relieved to know that number won't be hundreds of millions.
