“Relax your tight end,” a brilliant ad for prostate screening. #Superbowl

Democrats?

The last thing you drink before you stop eating and drinking ahead of a colonoscopy: eggnog, thick still with Christmas bells.

Al Franken. That’s it. Al Franken. We need that powerful, funny, seasoned voice to blow back against all this shit.

So disappointed in my senator, Tim Kaine.

@kaine.senate.gov DO NOT CAVE, Tim Kaine!!! We just won!!!

If Kristi Noem needs a private jet or Argentina needs $40 billion, Trump will make it happen. But when it comes to feeding hungry kids? Trump is looking for every excuse he can find to block SNAP benefits. He needs to follow the law and keep SNAP running.

Here are the 10 states that will see the highest premium increases for families that lose tax credits if Republicans refuse to act. West Virginia 387% Wyoming 382% Alaska 346% Tennessee 320% Mississippi 314% Texas 289% South Carolina 285% Alabama 284% South Dakota 235% North Dakota 234%

Since we're saving coal & manufacturing & playing all the greatest hits, your regular reminder that most Americans now work in the non-tradable services sector, experience trade only as consumers, & the mercantilism does nothing but make them poorer when they shop at Target, Costco, & Walmart.

Just between us, the San Diego Padres need a color consultant.

Loren Michaels sauntering off the stage…

To watch live theater from Broadway two nights in a row (the Tonys and Good Night and Good Luck) is a remarkable treat.

Murrow told the truth. He refused to repeat McCarthy’s lies. Good journalism does not repeat lies.

So glad the media has uncovered Joe Biden’s attempt to undermine democracy. Bet he knew about that prostate thing all along.

I guess Biden was too old to ruin the U.S. credit rating.

Really, you guys. Check out the New York Times poetry thing. First, Edna St Vincent Millay (“We were very tired and we were very merry…”), and now this. Trust me, they are trying to save the world! www.nytimes.com/interactive/....

Finally a little good news—an American who sees there is more to religion than how you vote.

The New York Times has discovered poetry. Is this a landmark occasion? A moment for fireworks and singing? Or proof of the end?

Happy to see two of my poems, Flying at Night and Consider Sleep, in the current BoomerLit magazine.

What a remarkable column by David Brooks who calls for mass action against Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/o...

This is incredible.

@kaine.senate.gov NO on cloture. NO on CR.

Why are the Dems so quiet?

America is under siege. Not word one about it at the Oscars. 😢

Why so little reference to politics tonight? #Oscars

James Bond fell asleep during the James Bond sequence.

@sarah-conner.bsky.social hi Sarah.

Where are the former Presidents?? Shouldn’t they be saying something?? Shouldn’t they be saying that America remains true, but is being held hostage. That we must work as a nation to take back Congress in 2026?

I know you're distracted by ugliness and you're afraid. Keep your eyes on me to calm your heart, and we're going to keep it moving.

Matresses: a potential new investment opportunity with zero returns but springtime safety.

We knew all this before the election. But the media buried it.

Missing Edward R. Murrow today.

Ouch!!

Short acceptance speeches = godliness.

The red states rely more heavily on Obamacare than the blue states. Imagine that.

📌Under Joe Biden: -Record 16 million jobs created -Lowest average unemployment rate of any administration in 50 yrs -Incomes up $4,000 over prices -Inflation at world-best 2% -Economy grew more than any presidential term this century Dems lose election because of economy. Absolutely INSANE.

A lot of shit happening out there. And, yeah, we elected T.

Don’t you get the feeling that everyone is a little more afraid now?

Good reading, though I think it is too early to know the exact conbination to the lock www.nytimes.com/2024/11/16/o...

So when are they gonna go after all that election fraud they were talking about?

Amazing the number of people who know exactly what the D’s should have done to win. Their brilliance is so bright that I have to wear sunglasses.

Hello Bluesky. Why not?
