So this happened

Not another crucial Clemson fumble against Troy that is up in the air. Don’t do this to me again.

Absolute banger

Welcome to America where burning your own flag is now more illegal than smearing actual human shit on the walls of our capitol building. #politics

I have never had the urge to burn the American flag, but better to burn the flag than to wipe your ass with the constitution.

How are Vulture and Pikachu connected to interracial relationships in film? @rafstitt.bsky.social and I discuss in our first full episode of @moviesnblackwhite.bsky.social #FilmSky #BlackSky #podcast

Sometimes movies are an escape, and sometimes movies are an opportunity to reflect on the racial dynamics of our ever-changing society and how they manifest in film. If that back half is your cup of tea, give us a like and a follow. #FilmSky #BlackSky

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

I’d rather not pardon Ghislaine Maxwell, but if we must, I propose pardoning Luigi Mangione at the same time. And same place.

Crazy that Trump very well may pardon Diddy. They do say Diddy is a slippery man though. #babyoil #Diddy #Trump

New evidence reveals Jeffery Epstein attempted to call his good friend Donald Trump on the night he died, but Trump left him hanging. #TrumpEpstein #Satire

No, Donald, people are saying “Release the PEDO FILES,” not “Release the PEDOPHILES.”

If you give a mouse a cookie, it’s going to want to destroy the very fabric of capitalism.

The Alabama Legislature is like the fourth quarter of a tied football game right now, except instead of a touchdown you’re tuning in to see whether cops can kill you and get away with it.

Loved seeing Kyle Wilson last night at the San Bar at The Wharf

Don’t accept any friend requests on here from Lizzie Borden’s parents. They’ve been hacked.

Guess it’s time for Bryce Mitchell to fall off the edge of the Earth #UFC314

Feels like we’re at the “FO” stage of “FAFO” except there’s still lots of people just refusing to find out lol

I’m in Birmingham tonight for the ALGOP Trump Victory Dinner featuring Donald Trump Jr. Stay tuned for how this goes. #Alabama #GOP #Trump

Elon’s Downfall

Lol at Donald Trump announcing new tariffs right after the stock markets close for the day. He didn’t want people to see them plummet in real time with his announcement. #LiberationDay #Tariffs
