So I scored this #PhillipRivers @funko.bsky.social at Five Below for 6 bucks and I’m seeing it for anywhere from $16 to $40 on eBay so yay me and go @colts.bsky.social

Today I am meditating on how atrocious the American healthcare system is and @labcorp.bsky.social in particular, sending my sick kid and me on a wild goose chase so he can pee in a goddamn cup. We pay $15k a year for this privilege. This is why we need single payer!

NGL, @jasonreynoldsforsenate.com and @heathermassey.com have the right idea for progressive outreach right now because I’m old enough to remember #lolcats!

From Luci and me (pic courtesy of my amazing wife) sending you best holiday wishes! #dogsofbluesky

The #WorldCupDraw could have been an email but it was a chance for the convicted felon to get in front of cameras, be handed a participation trophy, and not talk about Epstein, war crimes, or otherwise killing people

Well at least Donnie isn’t so cognitively impaired that he doesn’t remember the New York Cosmos #worldcup

So our local tree lighting was canceled because it snowed. #makethatmakesense

Glasses news! They came in and I’m thrilled with them since I can read my books 📕 and baseball cards 🃏 down to 4 point type! And less clunky than my Wayfarer magnifiers. And the tortoiseshell is fantastic. Want to compare notes, @stoya.bsky.social ?

Masterful, as always

He thinks passing a cognitive test means that you’re a super genius, when it actually means they let you go to the bathroom by yourself and use a knife to cut your food.

Am I the only one who every time he opens his pie hole all I hear is “relax, guy?”

Melania sounds like if Natasha Badanoff used the fundie baby voice

Glasses update: these are the frames I picked out so I look forward to comparing notes with @stoya.bsky.social on presbyopia in a week or so

Folks, please look after your Muslim neighbors starting now.

Impeach, convict, remove. And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

Postscript to my last post: why can’t my political dreams be about meeting @aoc.bsky.social @crockett.house.gov @raskin.house.gov @barackobama.bsky.social and Volodymyr Zelensky for drinks and then playing croquet?

My political stress dream last night was that I was living in a group apartment with t**mp and about 20 other people. He was sleeping the whole time but I had his cell phone which was in a weird case that fell apart in my messenger bag and I couldn’t figure out how to put it back together

AI is so stupid

🎶 Jesus died for somebody's sins but not miiiiiiiiine 🎶

I hope @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is bringing his Nani to the White House because she is having none of this s**t Source: YouTube share.google/DCVe3VIn2oGV...

Earlier today, I was notified that someone was at my door. This is who it was:

When do we get the Tapper book tentatively titled “Trump is Old and a Psychopath Too”?

The truth will have its day. That day is now. Release all the Epstein files.

Shameful. @olbermann.bsky.social , care to weigh in?

Do yourself a favor and watch this from #nyc mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani! youtu.be/iQVsVNPkPmE?...

He’s compensating for something else that’s far from YUGE. And he’s parked at the grocery store so he’s probably big mad that Obamna and Biden made his bacon and eggs more expensive

This went from costing about $12 to costing $17 to costing $21 since January so please tell me again why you voted for him because he would mAkE eVerYtHInG cHeApeR? #somuchwinning

It’s a different feeling tonight, a feeling that maybe the people of this country actually do want to live in a modern democracy and understand the assignment for making that happen. Thanks @abigailspanberger.com @mikiesherrill.bsky.social @gavinnewsom.bsky.social @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social .

LUCI IS SPEAKING

AOC on CNN asked if Schumer is afraid of her: “I think REPUBLICANS are afraid of me, and they project that fear on to him” Get that woman a shield.

Dershowitz shoot himself yet??

Woke means kind and tolerant and inclusive and generous of spirit and enlightened and morally sound. And it’s not back. It never left for most of us. The only ones doubting it and wanting us to renounce it were the haters and their appeasers.

It’s fitting that so many of us voted against fascism on the day dick cheney died

Woke up today to the news

This is how I found out Dick Cheney died

If it’s November, it means the Gobblehead is out! @natsbobbles.bsky.social

I’m deeply concerned that my personal information on a @upenn.edu alumni database has been compromised. What is being done to protect our information?

I love it when one of my favorite flicks intersects with my favorite spectator sport

The thing happened while #voting in my life today. While I was in the booth, one of the marshals announced that there was a first-time voter casting her ballot, and everyone clapped for her. This is what democracy looks like. #vote

What is the earliest use of the phrase “Women in Science”? This is from 1931 #HistSci #HPS

When your’e feeling down, just watch this video of three year old Vladdy Jr warming up at 1B with his daddy’s team youtube.com/watch?v=Agr0...

Luci (aka Lulu, Boopsie, Bubeleh, Leeloo) is such a diva and loves this ball weather

I know some people I worked with on projects in Mongolia at the University of Maryland who would reeealy appreciate this

Well, on the whole I would add @phungo2008.bsky.social @rgodfrey.bsky.social @andrewervin.bsky.social but that’s just me

Thanks to @amlivsotomayor.bsky.social and @stoya.bsky.social for joining me at an arts event in town tonight!

An FYI for my followers: I’m not going to be discussing politics any more because it’s driving too much negativity in my personality. If I’m not engaging with political posts, that’s why. I’m also still a federal contractor, so that’s also why.

Congrats to Vladdy and the @bluejays.com on their AL pennant! Here’s a #cardpainting of his card from the 2020 set. DM me if you’re interested! #cardsky #cardart #ocanada #elbowsup

Thanks @phungo2008.bsky.social - this is neat!!!

Maybe, just maybe, we shouldn’t let techbros run everything #awsoutage

This hits but for a reason other than the intended one
