Week 5 Day 1 Forgot a hair tie. The whole "learn to pace yourself" thing is working and at this point I'm able to get to the end of a running interval and not feel so exhausted that I couldn't have run a bit more.

Me: *Drooling over the many shirtless lumberjacks and blacksmiths on Instagram who are probably further left than me, politically* Some Overcompensating Whiny Dude Named Poindexter: Is okay to be manly again!

A block list, but it's just everyone who a certain account follows

TIL that my shitposting through the breakup was taken seriously and people thought this wasn't a joke. Christ Almighty, let me be an Internet Sad Boi® and be Silly On The Internet©.

Reminder that you can comment on Lindsay Graham's death without descending into homophobia.

Dear all DNC comms people. Imma give you this one for free. All any politician needs to say is, "Our hearts go out to his loved ones at this time." That's it. No need to say how much you enjoyed working with the man who fought to take away the rights of every marginalized group he could find.

This skeet was the appropriate thing for a sitting senator to do upon hearing the news of a fellow senator dying. The rest of the thread, on the other hand, is horseshit and Schiff can sniff my farts.

Week 4 Day 3 Original plan was to knock this run out yesterday so I could be on a M/W/F schedule next week, but between my concert Friday night and helping my buddy blow insulation into his attic yesterday before the heat of the day set in, I decided to postpone until today.

And if it's right to celebrate the death of caustic and malevolent people who try to take away rights, then may a gruff man tie me up and spank me as a special treat for both of us.

If it’s wrong to celebrate the death of caustic and malevolent people who try to take away rights, then may a gruff man tie me up and spank me until I learn my lesson.

I didn't have Rape Apologist Grandma on my bingo card.

I refuse to go to a tattoo shop that doesn't have a functioning website that isn't just their Instagram page in the year of our Lord 2026

As someone who grew up in rural Idaho, I just assumed this was true of everyone.

I just realized that there's, undoubtedly, room parties at GDQ

The Following feed, but when someone reskeets every skeet in a thread it only shows the first skeet with a little notice that the person reskeeting did the whole thread.

The printed pillars and exposed spray foam at the "State Fair" were classier than this.

Objectify me, damnit!

Meadowbrook station used to hold good memories. It was the station I'd get off at to visit Ex when I lived in Provo before we moved in together. It's weird how a transit stop can hold so much memory.

My buddy's domme baked us cookies

People sure seem to suddenly have strong opinions about how statements by witnesses are actually totally unreliable and meaningless when it’s a dude they like accused of sexual misconduct.

“I guess you hate due process.” No, I fucking love it. When is Graham Platner going to file a civil suit for defamation? Because that’s the process that is due to him when someone makes a false, harmful allegation.

New profile picture just dropped

Tonight I was on my ready to a concert on the train drunkenly talking with my buddy, "I don't think it's too much to ask to find a soft dom to tie me up and rail..." At which point I hear, as people are getting off the train, "Oh, hey Mr. [Last name]!"

I need to buy good "I'm pregaming before going to a concert" alcohol. Doing a shot of Nordes before running out to a waiting Uber seems wrong.

It may come as a surprise to some people that finding out that your friend that ghosted you has been successfully repairing relationships with the other people he did that to actually makes the fact that you're still being ghosted hurt more, not less.

Patches that my student made for me (plus a few others) are sewn or ironed onto my battle jacket for tonight's concert

@grahamformaine.bsky.social grow the hell up your why ass nepo piss baby.

My current cancelable hot take is that the difference between a recommended vote and an endorsement is actually an important one. That isn't to say that the Maine DSA handled things well. They didn't. That's not what this is about.

I think a lot of people have spent a lot of time trying draw universal truths about the state of Politics Today from the Platner situation. I wonder if the only thing that’s truly generalizable is women fear coming forward about SA and all red flags deserve attention.

Higher stakes tend to mean more people looking into it and talking about it. If Platner had been running for city council it's unlikely we would have found out about his tattoo and rapes. Not because those things don't matter at that level, but resources like time, attention, and money are limited.

Cops lie? Shocking! (Or maybe he thinks Law and Order is a documentary)

Looks like he's going on a blocking spree. Anyone who hasn't been blocked, feel free to share this screenshot of my receipt to @middermoo.bsky.social

The number of people I interact with on this website who post articles that they haven't read insisting they prove a point that is in no way shape or form proven by the article is:

The last line inspired me

I need a word for the exasperation one feels when the worst people on earth are legitimately very funny

And as an alternative, if y’all really must publish your opinions about how this maybe doesn’t count as real rape because of whatever? Do it in your dating app bio & your LinkedIn profile. Say that shit with your whole chest.

That's, uhh, not why people are demanding he drop out of the race.

Let he/she/they/zey/ze who has never joined a private mercenary group to kill brown folks in the middle east, never gotten a Nazi tattoo, never nonconsensually removed a condom, and never raped someone cast the first stone.

Weidly it's only sexual assault that gets this special treatment of requiring a legal process before using the bad descriptors for [almost entirely white male] perpetrators. Truly strange.

I can assure you, any lawyers you're likely to interact with today, including Dan, whom you're replying to, feel just as strongly, if not moreso, that Trump should not be in the White House as they do that Platner should not be in the Senate.

Wait. We never even got into civil litigation. Apparently there's no testimonial evidence in civil proceedings?

And also, I'd tell any candidate in such a position that they need to fucking LEAD with that. "This is who I was. This is who I now am. This is the journey that took me from there to here, and this is why I'm asking you to trust me now" If it only comes out in oppo, that's disqualifying

wait mitch mcconnell mysteriously disappears and this count binface with a bin for a face just appears

If your "mistake" was that you sexually assaulted someone ten years ago when you were 25, you're not categorically irredeemable but it's going to take a whole lot more to convince me you've actually redeemed yourself than if your "mistake" was doing coke at 25.

The reason I wanted Lizzy to end up with Gordo is because I wanted to end up with Gordo

Shortly after Ex broke up with me I gave him a box of stuff that was technically mine but I felt was more properly his for various reasons. He wanted me to keep one of the items, so I told him the thing I was comfortable with him returning to me. He never gave it back.

2008's Baby Mama is what I watched while awaiting facial reconstruction surgery after my bike accident 12 years ago and I'm putting it on to go to sleep right now.

Got a call from the specialty pharmacy today that my insurance has approved the twice a year injection PrEP. This is so fucking great!

I was really proud of this one

There's a real easy piece of defamation bait just sitting there. Do I put it on the line and cast?
