I've toyed with futures: slot machines are safer. "Roughly 17,300 contracts with an estimated value of more than $1.7 billion changed hands during this time, with the bulk of activity occurring before 4:10 a.m." One needs 1% or $17m to control those options. Pocket change for Kushner and Witkoff.

This was one of the very first non-Pong video games I ever played. It was also one of the most controversial - since you drove around killing "people" that turned into tombstones.

This song has been playing in my brain since last night. Not sure why nudge nudge wink wink. I still have the 7 inch - again, not sure why. youtu.be/7lTwA5xMeTM?...

Professor Moyn: You first. You want old people's property confiscated? We'll start with yours. I don't get these ageist arguments. Everything I own is going to my kids. Hell, the older I get, the more I give them. It's not like I'm being buried with it. www.racket.news/p/new-york-t...

This is a dumb idea. 1) It's pretty clear 1A was written specifically for situations like this and 2) every drink the idiot takes, every stumble he makes, every morning meeting he skips, people will notice and think he's drunk. Prediction: He'll be gone within a month. www.cnbc.com/2026/04/20/k...

I'm still recovering from paying taxes this year. Total time spent? About 150 hours. Total cost? Over $300. No corners were cut. No emotional outbursts in the forms. Just math. Lots of math, and backing documentation. But I can now express myself: "Fuck you with a prickly pear cactus #Intuit."

It's been a shitstorm of a week. I clearly need a vacation to someplace cold and sane - like #Norway or #Iceland. But instead, I'll have to satisfy myself with a mental break with #Heilung. Let me play for you the song of my people 1,500 years ago. youtu.be/QRg_8NNPTD8?...

#Goth #TheCure #punkrock Robert Smith hasn’t killed anyone and his music has healed the spirits of countless people.

2.5 billion Christians. Catholics. Baptists. Anglicans. Methodists. Mormons. #Trump has insulted them all. What's next? Will Trump portray himself as Mohammed? Or how about sitting in lotus with snails covering his mangy hair? If this isn't 25A worthy, what is?

God: The First Commandment is, you shall not have other gods before me. Trump: Hold my beer...

Roman Catholics believe the pope is chosen by cardinals guided by the Holy Spirit, God in silent mover form. Not Trump. We’ll be sure to pray for the oozing tub of putrid lard. Trump blasts Pope Leo for criticism of U.S. foreign policy www.cnbc.com/2026/04/12/t...

I've seen many US defeats in my time. Tet 1968. Saigon 1975. Somalia 1993. Iraq 2012. Afghanistan 2021. Some of these were psychological: in the end all were strategic. But in all cases our victorious enemies were weaker than when the wars started. #Trump has left #Iran stronger. Is he an Iranian?

My therapist says I'm a nurturer. From plants and pets to people, I can't help but want things to thrive - to become bigger, better, happier. It is painful and tiring to be a nurturer in times like these. It seems everything conspires to weaken, degrade and destroy. youtu.be/6dBt3mJtgJc?...

As a Catholic, this really pisses me off. As an American, I’m not surprised by the administration’s threats in the least. The whole lot is completely unhinged. #25A

I'm up for #TACO Tuesday. Anyone else?

Seeing several #GaryNuman posts by @aarondproctor.bsky.social has inspired me to re-listen to Numan's discography from the beginning. After Telekon my tastes diverged from his, and I didn't listen much to Dance and I, Assassin. But now? Wow. It's like finding new songs by your favorite artist.

A lot of fun is being made of #icebarbie ‘s husband. Given the kink, I’m not surprised. But I cringe & feel sorry for him. He’s innocent. I also wonder about the ethics of the #sexworker who released the tape. Not cool. If you want to be respected in your job, treat others respectfully. Simple.

The YouTube algorithm knows me so well. #JoyDivision youtu.be/L2UzKWC9CfY?...

To all who believe, remember with humility. To all who don’t, respect those who do. #GoodFriday

The problem with the Passion of Christ is that the story has been heard so many times it loses its horror. But stripped of the repetition, the brutality is incredible. Every step in the journey, every word of the telling, is nightmarish. Our minds can’t accept it, and so we ignore it or belittle it.

I agree with the locals on this one. The photos of what Byron Noem was doing are sad, especially after being publicly cuckolded by #IceBarbie. He doesn't deserve to be humiliated just because his wife is a power-hungry psycho. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/u...

Trump orders B52s to Iran. Finally, a decision I agree with. Liberate those people from shitty music. youtu.be/swBDlOk0V6Y?...

Shout out to those who haven't read this series. @meganeokeefe.bsky.social 's characters have stuck with me through the years. It's a completely new vision and direction in #SF.

Driving home from Walmart: Ego: I need a palette cleanser after that 70's light rock. Superego: Imagining Afternoon Delight with that crowd made me throw up a little in my mouth. I need something really good. Id: GARY NUMAN TELEKON. E: Works for me. S: Good choice. i: WHOLE ALBUM FROM TRACK 1.

Just no. Fuck no. Absolutely not. I am so tired of these people. Her time was 10 years ago, and she blew it. I'm tired of these senile old people - speaking as one myself. It's time for new, fresh blood and for a refreshed Democratic party. www.wmur.com/article/hill...

RIP Chuck Norris. Thanks for the movies and memes.

Had to unfollow my first bot account. I hadn't realized there was such a thing on Bluesky until my feed blew up with hundreds of reposts over an hour. I don't see the point, but it has hundreds of thousands of followers. So if that makes you feel good, bot away. Personally: Quality/Quantity

Watched the sunrise at 75mph through a cracked windshield and thought yes, it is Sharkey's day today. Sun's coming up. Like a big bald head. Poking up over the grocery store. It's Sharkey's day. It's Sharkey's day today. youtu.be/Mt49aVY5X5c?...

I've always thought they were overrated, but during their brief time they did create some good songs. Even though Rock the Casbah seems more appropriate given current events, this one in particular is much, much better. Happy Friday. youtu.be/WD5N0rTsulQ?...

It's difficult for me to seriously consider arguments against #anarchism, #socialism, #puredemocracy or other untried forms of govt in a republic where the elected leader makes members of his cabinet wear ill-fitting shoes.

It seems like only last month. Wait. It was only last month.

Pam Bondi's Epstein hearing brag backfires

Hey Pam! Tell us again about that Dow at 50,000...

Amazing how Ukrainian women are stronger than our men. Imagine what they could do here.

So Pam, how's that "Dow at 50,000" going for ya?

Watched "Der Tiger." Tense movie that reminds me of "Das Boot" among others. An excellent movie marred only by commercial breaks - so watch it without those if you can. Also, a warning for those who believe following orders is no excuse to lose one's humanity, so #Hegseth probably hates it.

Good morning, and a happy Friday to my fellow corporate slaves of a dystopian reality. Enjoy Severed Heads' All Saints Day RazorMaid remix, a popular hit at Club Medusa in Chicago in 1989. A year when the world saw the end of the Cold War and History, and optimism abounded. youtu.be/_XYetTvlN8g?...

Upon hearing the news that #PuppyKiller #IceBarbie Kristi Noem was fired, my #dogs broke into a well-choreographed dance. See one below. I was floored. They must have been practicing while I was at work. Is that... Is that #Fosse? Where'd they learn that? So that's where my #allthatjazz bluray went

Buh-bye puppy-killer. www.cnbc.com/2026/03/05/t...
