ICE is full of murdering thugs: https://rob.crabapples.net/2026/01/27/ice-is-full-of-murdering.html

It is inconceivable to me that any Democrat would vote for a DHS funding bill that fails to include a mandate that requires these federal goons to take their masks off. No more Secret Police in America!

🤣🤣

@jimray.bsky.team Hey, Jim! I just discovered your new blog, Applied Meteorology, and wanted to subscribe using Stream (my feed reader) and it wasn’t able to locate a “link rel” for the RSS feed. Is that something you could add? I’m subscribed and looking forward to reading more!

If you want to get a feel for what a modern Civil War may look like, watch the movie Civil War. It's a bunch of skirmishes, mostly in big cities. The film was definitely made as a warning to Marmalade Messiah. At least that's how I see it. callsheetapp.com/movie/929590

We've been getting sleet all morning. It started that way last night so the couple inches on the ground is more than likely all sleet. It makes me think we're not going to get any snow and hopefully no freezing rain. 🤞🏼

It’s pretty darned cold this morning and the wind definitely doesn’t help. 12F with a feels like of 4F and you can feel every bit of it. 🥶

Coffee with Bug.

shame on Apple and Google for allowing that app on their stores

What an asshat.

The man is so clueless. Nice work MAGA. See what you did to us?

I like the Oscars. We've watched them every year since the early 90's as a family and I still love watching. This year I'm mostly excited for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar because I believe Jacob Eldori, who played Frankenstein's Monster, should absolutely win it!

Homeboy is old and dying.

Hey baby it’s cold outside! We’re getting ready for snowmageddon here in Charlottesville, or what folks in Toronto call Tuesday. 🥶

Leak the unredacted Epstein Files. If it means the destruction of nations’ leadership and companies, they don’t deserve to exist if they abused children. Enough.

Davos, Switzerland, the World Economic Forum.

Would be amazing if European leaders would also start throwing out truth bombs like this. bsky.app/profile/atru...

When will it get so bad someone — or multiple someone's — start targeting ICE and Second Amendment them? It's gonna happen if they keep doing what they're doing. Sure, whoever does this is most likely going to die in the process, but it's bound to happen.

This is not surprising in the least and this man is absolutely clueless. Sir, the someone who dropped the ball in Washington is named Donald J. Trump.

I saw a Swiftie post something like "Only Taylor can do a 10-minute song." [large list of bands] "Hold my beer." 😂

My wife brought these home for me a couple weeks back. Boy oh boy are they dangerous! 🤣 Eating one leads to two leads to… You get the picture.

I want a Bachelors Degree in Computer Science from MIT. I'm the best computer scientist. I know all about bits and bytes. I'm so smart. They should just give me one but they won't for some reason.

Steven Beschloss is such an amazing writer and historian. I'd love to support him but I just can't. Not as long as he's on Substack. I was a subscriber of his until the whole Substack Nazi thing happened. The Nilay Patel interview on Decoder was shocking. Substack founders are white supremacists.

A true American Patriot if ever I've seen one. Thanks, dude.

This is a nice thing to do for subscribers. Thanks, Nilay.

Word

I like the idea, but professional sports are in that special category of people who are left alone (usually.)

Another good reason -- We're going to make a new format out of RSS and Markdown, like podcasting is a meld of RSS and MP3. Make sure every internet product that sends or receives text can use Markdown, in either direction. I have an editor and feed system, and it's all Markdown at every level.

YEP! 🤣 I can see his briefing before reading the statement. Marmalade Messiah: "What is hole Milk?" Staffer: "That's W H O L E Milk Mr. President" Marmalade Messiah: "I'm suing your ass"

Guess what Trump. You’re gonna lose. I guarantee it you big pussy

Their "branding," such as it is, frames them as a nightmare. Nobody will ever trust them. They're a gang of dipshit monsters, clearly violating the law, clearly hurting people, clearly going miles outside any "mandate" they may have spuriously had.

Totally agree with Seth. This was the plan all along. He just needs a spark to ignite the fire. If you push people hard enough they're going to get violent. Our next Civil War may start in Minneapolis. History will remember who did this, and it's not protesters, it's Trump's Administration.

I'm a Chicago Bears fan and a realist. I don't think the Bears can beat the Rams, even at home. There, I said it.

This is the textbook description of how you create anti-government partisan fighters.

Three NFC West teams remain in the playoffs. There are only four teams left. Three Head Coaches fired in the AFC North. Crazy year.

Touching little girls "anywhere at any time" is exactly what Trump loves to do.

Someone is going to grow tired of this horseshit and there will be real violence against ICE.

Well, that email offering to pay me millions of dollars to work on Stream and [top secret app] still hasn't arrived in my inbox. What's going on?

I've had Seattle on my mind this morning. I loved my time there. We lived in North Bend and I commuted in each morning, but I wanted to live in Seattle, it was just too expensive for us. I was thinking about how I'd love to live in Ballard. It's probably too costly, but I'd like to. 😁

Please get off Substack. There are people who can help you setup a similar subscription model on a platform that doesn’t like, and support, white nationalists and Nazis.

They should lay off Zuck.

I see these ads that say "Building muscle after 60 comes down to 1 thing" and my brain fills in ", using steroids." 😂

Did you know NFL kickers can wear jersey numbers in the 90's now? I really want to see that. 😃 The highest number I've seen on a kicker is Tyler Loop of the Ravens wearing number 33.
