"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

I had to think this. You all have to see it. Hope to hell this isn't accidentally prophetic:

Kinda hating living on the West Coast right now. All the calls for races in EST states, and I gotta wait 3 more hours to figure out if Seattle was smart enough to kick Harrell out.

No forgiveness for any of the people involved in this administration. Ever.

Happy Durin's Day, nerds. #Tolkien #Feast

Well... That is a disappointing end to the season. Still the best run the #Mariners have had... Ever. Here's hoping next year pushes it even farther. #TridentsUp

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

#NoKings #Shoreline was quite a treat today. No pictures, as I tend to not carry my phone for these. But I'd swear it was double the turnout of the 6/14 event. Big crowd, great energy. Always thankful to see folks standing up for what actually makes this country great.

Checking in from South Portland Maine (pop. 26.5k) Hundreds out at No Kings event

GENO!!!! #Mariners #GRANDSLAM #ALCS

Worst day to care about sportsball ever... #Mariners lose again and I worry about whether they've really got the World Series ahead after 2 blowouts. And the #Bengals... Win. Which is good. Except now I have to be grateful to Joe Flacco. Not sure if worth.

Tonight's #Mariners game is hard to watch... but we're still up 2-1, with 2 more home games ahead of us. Bouncing back to deliver this is absolutely in the cards. (Yes, I know it's not officially over - but we don't live in the timeline where miracles happen)

ICE Detains Leaves as They Turn Brown: tinyurl.com/37euaejk

Didn't get to watch today's #Mariners game. Because work.... but checking the score now and DANG they are hungry for it.

15 innings later.... and my Mariners are going to the ALCS. Holy Shit.

Question: what is the record for most innings in one game? #mariners

Game five starting soon.... still not fully on board with my #Mariners doing so well this postseason. It's good stuff.

The U.S. armed forces may soon face the choice of whether to refuse illegal and unconstitutional orders, @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes. What will they do?

ICE is made up of men who have failed the human test and have nothing of value to offer this nation. Adults with decency and options and possibilities don’t do this shit.

Nobody ask me what happened to the rest of the lasagna. When I say Garfield is my spirit animal, I am not just joking around.

Okay. Last post left me craving a taste of my childhood. Growing up in Kentucky meant a lot of country music. Used to jam out to Garth Brooks and Tim McGraw all the time when I was a wee lad. So - have another drop of nostalgia, from when country was good: www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2pe...

So.... I think MAGA's starting to lose the grip on country music. When even Nashville is questioning the Republican rule.... maybe we're not so cooked yet: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE52...

I like trains better than busses - but more bus coverage (and esp. for overnight coverage when the trains aren't running) is always good. Well done #SoundTransit.

Anyone that ever tells you "it's just about the illegals" is either lying or incredibly gullible: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It's gonna be a long season for the #Bengals, isn't it?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Alright. Wrote a thing this morning because I had time to kill and needed to vent at something. Read at your own peril.

Well, not that anyone ever actually reads these. But it was nice knowing yall: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential... Pretty sure we're all terrorists now. Or will be, once they find a way to stretch the language in this enough to declare having a Bluesky account "organized political violence."

Somebody find me a better job..... this company feels like it's actively trying to make me hate my life. And to be clear - I get enough help hating my life from the news. I don't need that on the clock, too.

Days like today.... I really hate caring about my sportsball game. #Bengals #Eternalsuffering

If I have to hear this orange jackass claim Zelenskyy started the war one more time, I am genuinely worried the blood pressure spike will kill me. JFC.

The left was derided for promoting a cancel culture because they went after predators and those who abused their wealth and power. The right is canceling anyone who dares speak truth to power. Both sides are not remotely the same.

I remember when gullible rubes and bad-faith actors insisted all this trans hatred was just about 'protecting the children:' www.newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/r... Already moving the goalposts to "lock them all up, don't let them talk to each other." Fucking Christ, this country disappoints me sometimes.

Politics this week has been the stupidest shit ever to have to read/listen to. Can it hurry up and be Sunday? I wanna be mad about the Bengals throwing a winnable game, not about the gullible rubes lionizing a grifter who met an undeserved end.

And, when I go back to check scores for my other team, the #Seahawks just lost ugly. That's a shame. Curse you, San Francisco.

The #Bengals did not deserve that win, the way the offense played the second half. But it's still better to win ugly than to lose. Here's hoping they can tighten things up before we face an actual team.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I'll admit it - I am petty enough to be disappointed the shitposts were wrong and he's alive. Never really felt convinced it was real - we don't live in the timeline where good things happen in politics - but god damn I wanted to believe.

this (from the brilliant @everywhereist.bsky.social) puts into words the big black tangle of frustration i have whenever i get the same question

There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.

Thinking it'd be nice to carve up a club sandwich for lunch today.... but I don't want a felony charge. Any #lawyers on here willing to help me plan a menu that's court-friendly, and not just food-court-friendly?

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Okay. Look. I'm posting a lot because apparently pretending people listen to what I say is how I crash out. So, lighter fare - I finished my #TerraInvicta campaign last night. Which took 2 months. So, time to pick a new fixation: Baldur's Gate 3 sorcerer run? Rogue Trader? Project Zomboid? IDK.

Really badly need to crash out today. Not just on the politics stuff - that's obviously not helping. But like, everything sucks rn. Money's tight. Roommate's having issues. My job is going to shit and I *really* don't like this company anymore. The only good thing in my life is my plum tree :/
