thinking about how Savannah Guthrie had to cancel her trip to work the Olympics because of her mom’s kidnapping but the guy who heads up the investigative body handling the case was posting pictures of himself in the US hockey locker room today lol

Kash Patel in 2023: “I’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”

Seems there is an appetite in America for one of the two major parties to be against genocide.

"ICE agents are the equivalent of cartel hitmen" is a wild take, but Mike Lee is here for it.

Uncanny.

Technically, it is a backronym: where you start with the acronym and work backward to make the words fit it. See also, my omnibus Declaring Our Nation A Lawful Democracy Just To Repudiate Unfit Malicious Presidents Act that would restrict pardons, bribes, tariffs, war-making, self-dealing, etc.

On this week's episode of My Favorite Fantasies of Democrats Behaving as Republicans Would in the Same Circumstances:

Today is the 53rd day of 2026.

I learned more about human nature by watching the drunks in the bars where I performed in cover bands for a couple decades than any college course I ever took. Just one of the reasons AOC is my number one choice for president in 2028.

It’s the first time the US men’s and women’s hockey teams have won gold in the same Olympics 🥇🥇

Democrats begging for the ethnic cleansing death squads recruited with Nazi propaganda to fill concentration camps on our soil to please obey the laws and Constitution that already exist and then they'll go ahead and give them even more money even after they've murdered people and lied to courts

I knew it! I just knew there would be no way I could enjoy the Men's and Women's U.S. Olympic Hockey teams winning overtime goals over Canada without Orange Cheeto Mussolini making me feel ashamed of it. #ETTD

imagine losing *two* gold medal games in overtime in the sport you created. pssshhhh couldn’t be my country

U.S. Men's and Women's Hockey both defeat Canada for gold medals? Sorry, not sorry.

No president in U.S. history has ever had a fatal heart attack while delivering the State of the Union address.

The US President, which does not offer free healthcare to his own people, wants his own people to offer free healthcare… to Greenland… which already has free healthcare. Maybe it is time for another brain scan for the US president.

If you're gonna come into my feed to lecture me, at least be woman enough to accept replies. The OP said nothing about being leftist, they said "anti-electoralism."

Well, that settles it. Teenagers should not smoke pot. Next!

If everyone in America were white, healthcare (and college) would be free. But since about half the white people here would rather suffer than see non-white people get something for free, we're stuck.

I've never seen a Trump bird before.

After #AT40 on SiriusXM, I turned on the AT40 Channel on iHeart. Just now, Casey gave a lengthy intro explaining the phenomenon of the song and dance known as "Da Butt." Nothing like Casey saying "Da Butt" multiple times.

It's almost like someone wants to flood the Epstein zone with fantastic claims so that the real claims can also be dismissed as fantastic.

Hate it when those guns just go off in the home.

"D'ya Think I'm Sexy?" is a right finger workout for the bass player. Ditty doop ditty doop ditty doop ditty doop ditty doop ditty doop ditty doop in octaves for four minutes? Then some slap and pop in the sax break? Hats off, dude. My hands won't do that... yet! #AT40

*sigh* It used to be such an enjoyable little ditty. #ETTD #AT40

"Devil Woman". Why is it I can hear this song on the soundtrack of a future movie about this regime's director of fatherland security? Like, in a montage that flashes between prison bars in El Salvador, raids in Minneapolis, and a luxurious 737 Max private cabin? #AT40

What? I'm sorry, I cannot hear you. Olivia is singing to me. Yes, me. Not any of you! No! Just me. Yes. Mmmmm. #AT40

IYKYK #AT40

One fun thing to note is how many songs follow this same chord progression: "I Will Survive", "Hotel California", "Still Got the Blues". Back in the day when jamming, we used to slip those songs into each other. #AT40

Mothership Pharmaceuticals supplies its syncopatimab directly from Nile Rodgers' plasma to make high-quality Onthewun. That man has hypergruvthangsis! #AT40

Idaho Falls and Pocatello in the house! #AT40 Fun Fact: Eastern Idaho is where the wind is made. Dad grew up thereabouts. When we last visited, he made sure to make clear his objection to the wind. Real Fact: I got clocked in the back of the head with a baseball bat in Idaho Falls.

I was gonna make a joke about a band covering Barry Manilow songs as heavy metal and calling it "Barry Metalnow." Then this neuron way back in my brain said "you're stealing that." And I'll be damned: "Barry Metalnow" is a character from the 1984 television show Rock-N-America. Huh. #AT40

Ok, so let's say it's a contest between two songs. Only one of them can be the only song you ever hear for the rest of your life. One choice is this Leif Garrett song. The other choice is whatever comes out when I says "teen heartthrob cotton candy disco schlock" to an AI music algorithm...? #AT40

I cannot overstate how pivotal The Blues Brothers are to my development as a bass player. Duck Dunne layed down simple grooves a beginner player can learn that were more interesting than rock eighth notes. We played "Soul Man" in high school jazz band, fell in love with bass. #AT40

Foreigner is a totally rated band. They are exactly as good as they have been promoted. #AT40

Have y'all seen Paul Anka lately? He was on Kimmel's show the other night and was an absolute hoot. His behavior just slightly out-of-PC Rat-Pack-frozen-in-amber. Bawdy, you might say. And still belting out "My Way" at the age of 84. Worth a watch on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5e9Q... #AT40

"Geez, my nephew murdered three guys who gang-raped his girl. Then I'm sittin' next to this chick at the bar and her old man shows up crying. Then this guy in my train car dies on me! What gives, Jim?" "Don't ask me, Kenny. Every time I go to a bar, a bloody brawl breaks out." #AT40

Always a good time to cue up the Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins "Dee Gees" cover of "Tragedy": youtu.be/DKle2p9W5To?... #AT40

Since I mentioned Yacht Country, there are other interesting extra channels on the SiriusXM app: Mom Jeans (Taylor Dayne-ish 80s/90s pop) Pizza Joint (mix of jukebox pop rock soul & Italian crooners) Music for Dogs (sparse piano background music) Roller Rink (70s 80s roller disco funk pop) #AT40

"DON'T CRY OUT LOUD!" Physician, heal thyself. #AT40

Fun Fact: My ex-wife thought this song was "Shake Your Two Things." Double amusing because she had two rather large things (since surgically reduced). #AT40

Nobody gets too much heaven no more because Erika Kirk and TPUSA went and made it too crowded. We even pleaded with the boss, like, you're omnipotent, couldn't you just make heaven infinite? How could heaven be crowded? But he was busy with some colliding quasars or something. #AT40

Pocatello in the house! #AT40

Props to Myrna Matthews on the female vocals in this Babys hit, with Pat Henderson and Marti McCall adding the backing vocals. #AT40

Dolly Parton is evidence that ethical billionaires cannot exist. She had all the ability to become a billionaire, but has given so much away she's stalled out at the mere $600 million. Everybody loves her. The lady wrote "Jolene" and "I Will Always Love You" over a short afternoon. GOAT #AT40

#AT40 Bobby Caldwell 🤝 Meat Loaf

I should have been much more into Talking Heads as a kid, but at the time I was far too normie and they were too weird. You can't go from Idaho radio to New York CBGB in one or two summers; it takes a few visits to Boise nightclubs and meeting freaky people first. #ISurvivedThe80s #AT40

Tip: In any recipe calling for a cup of sweet cream that you lack, you can simply place a cup of whole milk in front of the speaker while Anne Murray sings. #AT40

An #AT40 archive request? Well, okay... youtu.be/iYJ1JUzNCv4?... One of my favorite #BassPlayAlong lines, plus the inspiration for my daughter-in-law's name.

It's #FOMO-YOLO Time! #AT40
