President McDonald's calling his Iran strategy “economic warfare” is a reminder that language carries weight. President Big Mac uses language very indelicately. #principle

The cholera spike in Congo. This is crisis has become a dull, humming noise. Suffering shouldn’t be normalized. #Congo

A father turns his truck into a birthday party for his daughter Original post

Gets grilled. Stands firm. Goes to concert. Has a beer. #hero

The Pike execution failure. If this does not prompt the United States to do some soul searching, we are no better than irate chimps hurling feces out of their cages.

I love social media.🤣

The migrant deaths off Djibouti. Personally, I feel people deserve dignity without respect to geography.

Merging of crime families...as the world watches.

Laurel Hill Show UPDATE: This event has been rescheduled to Saturday, October 17, due to inclement weather.

Kenya confirming a second Ebola case is a hard truth. Will this reality even register for RFK?

@mlipsitt.bsky.social Thank you, Ms. Lipsitt. go.bsky.app/7pNqAh9

Meloni: "Capitulation is not peace. I don’t miss the Russian tanks that crushed the uprisings in Prague and Budapest. And I don’t miss the Berlin Wall.”

Level of greed and disregard of life and environment is a progressive, ever-worsening addiction.

I think all of MAGA needs to start going back to meetings, get a sponsor, do an inventory, make some fucking amends.

We could not excise the Trump Malignancy after his felonies, rapes, bankruptcies, crypto scams. Comparatively, she is a tear-that-sticker-off-hotel-mattress level offender.

Hard data on winter energy shortages highlights: -Stewardship isn’t seasonal -Responsibility doesn’t pause for weather #climate #energy

The Putin-Trump diesel deal is disastrous and illegal — but it is also a sign of the desperation of both men, one fearing to lose a war, the other to lose an election.

@karaswisher.bsky.social Not the best time to disappear, please return.

@dorothyhostetter.bsky.social Wish you would post more Ms. Hostetter. Uriel

I know this is related to liberties, pursuit of happiness....but we have hungry, homeless, unhoused. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

Lower the price of ground beef. From the Hamburgler himself. "Plebes, go have a Big Mac."

The White House pushing ahead with that ballroom construction after the Supreme Court’s temporary order says a lot about priorities. Screams of disregard of citizenry and law. #clarity

Strong communities are built by people who understand restraint. Not silence — restraint. Restraint of tongue and pen and keyboard. Knowing when to act is as important as knowing how. #strength

This was a thought all summer: The shift in the way people talk about ambition now is interesting. It’s less about climbing and more about choosing what’s worth carrying or sacrificing. My elders credit the down to Earth Gen X folks....and the adoption of casual Fridays..... #perspective

Trump ,Steve Miller and ICE are deporting people to countries they have never been and incarcerating them there for slave labor or whatever… why are we letting this happen ?

The rise in community‑college enrollment this fall says something simple. People still believe in building a future, even when the world feels unstable. Grateful for my 4 years at UK....but I see the unreasonableness of the expense and support the community college movement. #hope

Popeyes biscuits are an EVENT. Cane’s toast is grandma in a bad mood and she been drinkin'. #priorities

Rant: KFC has been feeding working families since long before these newcomers showed up with one sauce and a slogan and ad budget. Legacy matters when you talk about feeding a community. #truth

Popeyes has the kind of spice profile that reminds you somebody cares. Some of these newcomers cook like they’re afraid of their own seasoning and they hate you and you owe them money. #respect

I was young the first time the news disturbed me and how fortunate for me my great-grandmother was alive. "Oh Allie, I am so sorry. None of this is new. Your parents think they discovered injustice. [she cackled] Hardship and cruelty are constants best combated, not by outrage, but love."

This is finished. May or may not do another. I included one or two "honorary women." go.bsky.app/DNgPNfj

The five biggest defense contractors spent more than $100B on buybacks and dividends since 2020. I have a simple question for defense contractors: If taxpayers are giving you billions to build military equipment, why are you buying back your own stock? This needs to stop.

Congress spent the week arguing about “efficiency” while producing absolutely nothing. If they ever streamline the process, I’ll send flowers. Kidding. I'll send a box of fresh shit. #DemocracyWatch

What I do for fun is: reorganize the pile of half‑finished ideas on my desk and pretend it counts as progress. #CreativeProcess

Urban people (such as this humble narrator) know that at night you get the real version of cities: tired people, honest conversations, and a kind of resilience that doesn’t need branding. #strongertogether

WaPo: The number of U.S. service members reported wounded or killed in the Iran war has jumped to 774, after the Pentagon added scores of new troops to the wounded list in the last few days.

White House is planning to announce “a large new tax on international students who stay to work in the US after graduation”.

The USA started a war with Iran. The US has suffered a de facto defeat, though they will never admit it.

Southern Lebanon’s evacuations highlight this truth: Fragile states don’t fail all at once; they fail in layers — governance first, then infrastructure, then public trust, and finally the ability to protect civilians. "A wise man learns from the mistakes of others."

It is a classic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bsky.app/profile/fina...

Celebrating Starmer's move on speech and media? Loving that Bluesky is untouched? Feeling triumphant? When the state begins with control of expression the state ends with murder of citizens. #History #Data #Science #Facts #Evidence

How we call it an agreement and then add “as negotiations continue”.. What did they agree to? Agreed to negotiate? If there’s some urgent need to congratulate Trump, so he shows up at G7 — he literally had his 80th birthday. Why are all pretending there is a deal when there isn’t? Confusing.

Artificial, manipulated economy. Low pay. High prices. Suffocating the masses.

We have to get rid of all the loopholes.
