I’ve been lamenting this for years. Competency is important, of course. However, we also need fundamentally good, decent people in these positions of political leadership. At this moment and especially on the federal level, we don’t have that. Our deterioration as a nation exemplifies that.

One of my favorite comedians of all time is Andy Kaufman. If still alive, he would’ve been 77 years old last week. He will always bring a smile to my face 🤣 accompanied by laughter!

The only thing more pathetic than thinking you’re Trump’s ally is thinking that he won’t throw you under the bus next. You will not defeat Trump with appeals to the rule of law or being nice. He doesn’t care about those things. You defeat him like you do any bully: by punching back.

Important perspective from Greenland.

I may be late discovering this but just found out that ICE has joined BlueSky. I did the responsible thing by going to their account and immediately blocking them!

elected democrats who want their constituents to remain non-violent in their protests of these abuses must actually offer a path for ending the abuses non-violently. they currently are not as a party and it’s a major problem.

For as long as I live, I’ll never understand how the man who incited this, was returned to the office he was trying to steal. Never.

you paved the way for this. and still arent doing anything about it. anything for that status quo that only works for you.

TDS is the biggest load of gaslighting bullshit I've ever heard. Trump acts like a tyrant/toddler/fascist/lunatic and it's everyone else with the problem if they don't go along? Get the fuck out of here with that. It's a tactic that only works if we accept it. HE is fucked up, not us.

The Trump voters did this — the bloodthirsty, racist, bigoted assholes wanted to punish anyone not like them and now look No new wars my ass.

The late great GEORGE CARLIN on…stupid people.

Fortunately, Freedom of Choice is still an option for many things! Just not as many as in the past. I cherish the freedoms we still have, but I am hopeful for the day that the ones lost are restored.

the USA has a population of 348,109,673, and every day I think about how we managed to select the actual worst one of those people to hold the codes that control the apocalypse

Someday he will be gone. But we will never forgive or forget the people who supported him.

For some reason, I find the merging of Casinos & Yahtzee to be very exciting! Never played this version of Yahtzee so I can’t speak to the actual gameplay experience.

Canada's Ambassador to the US has quit

Hearing this “track” from McAfee brought back memories of this gem:

Not sure if anybody else caught this, but I saw an ad for an Alex Jones InfoWars App while watching AEW Collision on HBO Max tonight. As bad as the ICE Ads were, this is just as awful. Any money that he makes needs to go directly to the Sandy Hook families!

This quote applies to so many areas of life & the world in general!

Relieved that voters resoundingly rejected this fascist bullshit. Angry that we still have at least another year of it, probably another three, and that we're by no means in the clear. Livid that it all could have been avoided if we had simply not reelected the asshole who tried a coup.

The Dodgers lineup reminds me of that ringer company softball team on The Simpsons episode “Homer at the Bat”

Musical earworms are a profound duality of annoyance & joy that I have endured most of my life. I am currently working thru this and No-listening to another song usually doesn’t help. The latest award winners are-2 Posts: Fall Guy Theme Song

Won’t keep belaboring this because attempting to stop it appears to be pointless. Just relocated from Colorado to California for work and the ICE Ads on Dynamite & Collision have INCREASED! At least two per commercial break! Different ISP, but same streaming platform-HBO Max.

MLB baseball needs something similar to college football, hockey, soccer & have some sort of shootout after enough overtime(extra innings) has been played. Because of that, I propose Home Run Derby! Sorry traditionalist, I’m on the West Coast and this game is way too long!

Watching this Classic & Very Long World Series Game, I am reminded of this take by George Carlin. Skip ahead to 51 seconds and you’ll get the joke hopefully.

Seriously? Streaming the Ohio State & Wisconsin game when the same ICE recruitment commercial that I see ad nauseam on AEW Collision every week starts playing It must be a Saturday thing for me because I don’t see this ad on Dynamite I feel bad for those who have to experience this on both shows

This post really hit home with me. I’ve been asking the same questions for over a decade or more. The sheer cruelty towards others is what bothers me the most!

Feeling a little melancholy. This meme always puts a smile on my face😀

Reposted this from last week For the record, I had the same exact experience on HBO Max as last time. That being, No ICE ads tonight-Wednesday & barraged with these ads on last Saturday’s Collision Same ISP as last time as well. My point of view has not changed. I find this propaganda repulsive

We are living in one of the stupidest times in history.

For those interested this match just premiered on YouTube. I’m very excited to see this match since seeing the notification yesterday:

The Tigers are the Mets of the ALDS 😞 And Taz is on BSky, attn: @hangmanpage.bsky.social

FWIW, I haven’t seen any ICE ads on tonight’s Dynamite. I saw a litany of those ads on Saturday Night’s Collision. Sometimes three ads per break. I am streaming via HBO Max and not dealing with a cable company. Being barraged with recruitment ads for Trump‘s Goon Squad is beyond disgusting.

Same. #AlsoTiredOfWaitingForTheEPSTEIN_Files

Very good advice in general for those experiencing any sort of trauma.

What we’re seeing these days isn’t new, it’s just sometimes seems new because now it’s being encouraged and condoned again.

A word to the wise: Hate is expensive. The price you have to pay is costly and will affect you in many ways. It takes a lot of energy to hate. Why do that to yourself? 🤔 Consider love. It's fulfilling and brings rewards on its own. The best part, fam? It's free. ❤️

This is freedom! This is America!🙌🏼

It took 77 million people last November to create this new reality. For those voters who brought this guy back to power, thanks a lot Jackasses! 🫏
