Sigh

Reddit is huge. But when I signed up, it was just a small Digg clone. Bluesky is huge. But when I signed up, it was just a small Twitter clone. Slack is huge. But when I first signed up, it was just another IRC clone. So what if your idea already exists. If you think you can do it better, do so.

The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.

I interviewed @gavinnewsom.bsky.social from my closet www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOm1...

Just a reminder that while it may feel good to cheer James Dobson’s death, he had a family who loved him and they are grieving, and that’s also a good reason to cheer.

Down to the last few days of this account being active (not deleting but pruning and rarely posting) if you are interested in a slightly more muted version of me, please follow @rob-wolfe.com - my schoolboard friendly(er) account that will become more active over the next couple weeks.

If you are gay and transphobic, get help.

I heard, somewhere that I can't now find, someone say " whoever in the Trump administration that came up with this idea deserves a raise" , about the European leaders "being invited ". Or words to that effect. And no, they weren't maga, they were a journalist. I legitimately LOL at it.

now, my wife is a quilter but nope.

I will pimp myself a little that I helped write and edit a bit of this script but it's the best synopsis of the meds from discovery to medication Ain't just gila monsters but also anglerfish! @proptermalone.bsky.social

ding ding ding

Just disgusting. ICE needs to go.

Ok, you know why I don’t like Gavin Newsom? You know how in While You Were Sleeping, Peter Gallagher’s family all talks about how he rescued a nest of baby birds as a kid, and later he admits he knocked their nest out of the tree with a rock, then made sure everyone saw him rescue it? That’s Gavin.

This from @tressiemcphd.bsky.social hit me over the head like a mallet of truth. This is the thing. This is what I’ve been trying to warn people about perfectly crystallized. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/12/o...

Not sure how many times I have to say this but president of the United States is not an entry level job.

lol, nope!

It is possible that some of y'all know this character. Feel free to follow him. He is a lot like me, but probably less sweary and a little less overt in his opinions of certain things.

Over the next couple weeks I will be winding this account down. My new and school board friendlier account @rob-wolfe.com will become active at that time. If y'all are interested, follow me there.

Oh my God This is just a horrifying idea

Small bit of context is that he currently works for the Heritage Foundation

We stopped expanding the House in the 1920s, decided the Supreme Court should freeze in the 1930s, added the last states in the 1950s, amended the Constitution only once in the last fifty years. The USA and its government continued to grow, but almost all that growth came in the executive branch.

Nope. Wrong. When your friend is fucking up you owe it to them to not assist them.

First day of school!!!

JFC. Read the room Mark

Without a doubt Walmart has the worst driver experience for rideshare drivers doing parcel pickups I've been waiting 45 minutes for an order at this point with no end in sight pitiful

As an immigrant & naturalized US Citizen, I am pained to see fellow immigrants buy MAGA talking points to demonize new immigrants. Know this: Proximity to white supremacy is not protection from white supremacy. Please have compassion over condemnation, because I promise—they'll come for you next.

I think that I just had someone tell me that reposting is content theft. I will delete this post if I am incorrect.

I was very moved by my conversation with @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social...

The problem with being old is I don’t post as much because I don’t have the energy to argue all night with strangers on the internet about the fact they’re wrong

Just a terrific tale.

I think this is an excellent response.

I just learned something today. I have always thought that FDR had polio. yet another good reason to follow @cdnhistoryehx.bsky.social

For all those still on #Substack who poo poo me when I call it a Nazi Bar. This is from just last month. C'mon, there are alternatives, and if you are a small creator, there are lots of technical folks willing to give you a hand for small or no cost to you. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Read this. it is important to understand

List? What list? /s

Adopt! My wife ran a cat rescue for years and it was such a satisfying experience for her.

August 9th should be a national holiday.

Not a bad question to ask

holy shit. This looked horrible. Fortunately, Zilisch only suffered a broken collarbone, and his CT scans were clear.

IT is not a cute place and does not deserve a cute name. call it what it is, a concentration camp.

97. now there is long life well lived. RIP to Jim Lovell

I was a teenager and thank god for that. I had enough shitty wardrobe choices but never this bad

Finally!

like it matters.

In other words, Ukraine is about to get dismantled. Aggression succeeds again. This doesn't sound like a great example to set, yes I am looking towards Taiwan.

I just tripped across this old thread this morning. It is a LONG, but really worth looking at if you want to understand how so often Indigenous People are marginalized. This is a specific result from Canada, but it is absolutely applicable to many other countries as well.

I would very much like for Zelensky to be there and for Putin to refuse to sit down as a result. it would force the last remaining Americans who think Zelensky is the problem to defend that position in front of everyone because that would certainly get the media's attention.
