"We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost..."

HMMMMmmmm....🤔

When I'm not reposting stuff, I've been leaning towards melancholy posts lately, for which I apologize. It could be worse -- I could succumb to the urge to post sad stuff to Facebook. On the other hand, I've been revisiting my music collection for the first time in a while...

Trump pushed Kimmel into going full resistance lib for the biggest audience he will ever have. Another masterclass from the president.

Charlie Kirk never cared about debates.

Does this mean I can claim a religious exemption to being forced to have AI in everything? Also: the idea of an AI Pope, created so that you can log into the Vatican website and have a virtual audience with it...yuck.

Disney/ABC should put Jimmy Kimmel Live! on a free streaming platform tonight and going forward for the benefit of those stuck in places where the ABC affiliate is owned by Sinclair or Nexstar. Heck, I wouldn't even skip the ads if they put it up on YouTube.

What. The actual. Fuck?

People looking for bargains on WWII memorabilia know to search for “world war 11” on eBay. For vintage British timepieces, it’s King George the hundred and eleventh. I would bid on this but for the fact that it would be coming from the UK so tariffs and arbitrary fees would make it not a bargain.

We've done it before...

My college pastor’s theory of the Rapture: Everyone goes to heaven. If you led a righteous life, where is the best place for to go? To be in the presence of God. If you led a sinful life, where is the worst place for you to go? To be in the presence of God. EVERYBODY goes to heaven.

A reminder of what Sinclair is: a propaganda network vying to control what we see, hear, and think

Today I learned: The first few times Diana Prince transformed into Wonder Woman in the 1970s TV show, she literally spun out of her outfit (via fades and match cuts) revealing her costume. After checking her belt and tiara were in place, she had to find a place to stash her civvies. #WonderWoman

Finished mowing the lawn, and now I’m sitting in the backyard listening to the several neighbors who heard me and realize “hey, good idea”starting to mow theirs. I beat the rain…

“With a single post or video, we can influence thousands of guests to try a food, drink, or experience in the parks,” she says. “I couldn’t, in good conscience, keep giving them free publicity knowing they don’t support free speech and are willing to bow to fascism."

Bringing my annual tradition over here to Bluesky... IT'S SEPTEMBER 21st y’all know what time it is 🔊🎶

This British woman had more military experience than three entire generations of the Trump family combined

That’s good and all, but in my mind nothing beats “Buy My Volvo”

Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam!

Exactly this

This was the first quality antique watch I picked up -- a Hampden Grade 440 Model 4 from around 1908. I got it back from being serviced last month, and it's running very smoothly now. Mad props to Caliber Works Watch Repair in Minneapolis for the excellent work. #pocketwatch

Hey, want to see what Jimmy Kimmel actually said?

Fuck yes to this

This was the first vintage pocket watch I ever bought -- and paid too much for. 😅 Although it's got art deco styling, this watch was made in the 1950s by the Ingraham Watch Co., and it was a "dollar watch" -- low quality, not worth fixing if it broke. (And break it did...) #pocketwatch

It occurs to me that I don't know when I last got a good night's sleep. It probably won't happen tonight since I am tired enough to grab a good afternoon's sleep right now.

You know how Minneapolis residents felt when Jacob Frey made a splash with his speeches at Annunciation and non MN residents were all lauding him as a potential future leader of the Democratic Party? That’s kind of how Minnesota state employees feel about Tim Walz getting plaudits everywhere

A thread

Every time one of these pops up in my feed, I am tempted to do it (either the one like = one answer method or just answering all of them) but my introvert nature is all NOOOO and anyway right now my answers would probably be...not fun anyway. Maybe another time.

As a reminder, Trump refused to speak Gov. Walz after Rep. Melissa Hortman was assassinated. The fact that he can’t even remember who she was tells you all you need to know. If you voted for someone other than Trump, he believes you are worthless. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

For some reason an episode of "All in the Family" has come to mind...Edith Bunker has been tapped to do a detergent commercial, and Archie Bunker takes over salary negotiations. He insists on the lowest wage possible under the belief that the best wage is one that the boss can't cut smaller. 1/2

Sometimes a little non-sequitur makes the day go better.

Words of wisdom from Lucy Darling

Was there ever a time when people thought tear gas did THIS?

Winston Smith was puzzled by the cell phone that arrived at his desk via pneumatic tube. “What is an ‘artificial intelligence’ and how do I put it down the memory hole?” he pondered.

"the white nationalists are back at it and this time there are more of them" might as well be the motto of the 21st century

At a hangar dance now. First time in a year and a half or so. This may have been a mistake

Lot of bigots showing up. Remember, don't interact. Just report and block block block.

The left overwhelmingly has condemned the killing of Kirk and offered condolences to his family in this terrible time. The right has declared “war” and demanded revenge before we even have a suspect in custody.

Let's tone down the political rhetoric while simultaneously releasing the #EpsteinFiles.
