Cut out that "all gave some" crap today. We are ruled by some who gave, and continue to give, absolutely nothing to contribute to a more perfect union.

I’m glad that he risked electrocution in his shower to give voice to my feelings about the future of academic testing techniques. Even as I ask myself: open book exam? Free form essays? Critical analysis research projects? Regurgitation and memory tests? How are tests going to be done in future?

As I pack up Teen Queen‘s life en route to college, it’s touching to see all the odd stuff she’s kept. Less touching to see the hoarded junk that should be in the landfill, like her old Crocs and the Dora the Explorers and Barbies. Hell, her new Crocs should be thrown out, too.

The gradual loss of interest in all things Star Wars can be attributed to 1. The aging of the original fans who now have real world problems to escape from. 2. The sacrifice of storytelling for fan service (Thanks, folks who cast aside Tim Zahn and others as Legends.) 3. No more cool toys/games.

It's incredible how desperate the folks who remained behind in the the Bad Place are for engagement with the people who left them there for BlueSky. As if their current experience over there isn't much to their liking. In the end, it doesn't even matter.

I’m utterly at a loss why Amazon MGM, or whatever the hell they are, are hyping up the “next James Bond audition” nonsense. The choice should be obvious.

I confess I read this story with a twisted smile. Because I can recall many young men and women who put in for school after school, course after course...and didn't even get pocket lint from their commands. Still, well done, young man. taskandpurpose.com/news/soldier...

Guys, is it that many of you have stopped posting on here, or that the algorithm is deliberately showing me posts from folks that I simply have no connection to nor interest in?

This is as much a comment on the driver as the vehicle. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I wonder if the fool of an acting AG has ever heard of the principle of reciprocity in international relations? What is to stop the AGs of Iran, Venezuela or any of many places from indicting FOTUS, SecDrunk and the rest for murder, conspiracy, and all the other crimes they’ve committed since 2024?

This one’s for @gpatrick.bsky.social. The rest of you as well. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Take comfort in the fact that, just when you feel stupid, someone comes along who'll show you that you're an amateur in the stupidity profession.

A special good morning to a legendary truth teller, @jimlaporta.bsky.social, in gratitude for his exemplary journalism. Why can't all media people be like you, Jim? www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHp8...

So, Mars is no longer on the Musk Agenda? Color me (un)surprised. Still, the idea of billionaires on the moon, right now, immediately, is very appealing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0n4...

Finally reached the pinnacle of old-fogeyism: Hearing the poolside DJ playing 80s tracks like "Like A Virgin", and "Superfreak" and thinking "Dang, dude, there's small kids in the pool listening to that music!"

great piece. please read if you have a moment: presswatchers.org/2026/05/its-...

A plague on the house of Adam D'Ortona. If you know, not only do you know, but you understand the evil that originates from him and his enablers. May he never know a moment's professional peace from this day until he is finally removed from his post.

Dear Canada, Thanks for your usual warm welcome. It's a joy to be on the sensible side of the border. Juat one comment, folks. Please inform your CTV channel that SecDrunk is the US Secretary of Defense (or as you would have it "Defence". Don't call him "Secretary of War". Doesn't exist.

Not to be that guy, but the failure to learn from history is our biggest downfall. "This guy knows how business works! He gets things done! He's really successful!" And that's how Herbert Hoover got elected. Admit it. You thought I was talking about FOTUS.

Mother in law: "Ghost, please pass by to help me celebrate Mother's Day." *cue Kool & The Gang*

Or, as certain infantry guys call this order : "post-FTX."

Do I want to see David Boreanaz get beat up as much as James Garner as Jim Rockford? Not really. But they better not mess with the theme. David Boreanaz's New NBC Reboot of 52-Year-Old Detective Series Officially Confirmed share.google/R7KS53qwVbSp...

What have we learned from the release of the UFO files? I don't know about you, but I learned that someone, somewhere, will do anything to distract you from the government's failure to release the Epstein Files.

Putin must be amazed at the ease with which the mediocre demagogues he backs are fooling the voters into thinking they are somehow beneficial to their interests. Oh, sorry, MAGA. For once, I’m not only talking about you and FOTUS. See also “Farage and the UK”.

The next two years will be the most dangerous of times since 1962. And note that we haven’t even included global health and climate change in the discussion. Yet. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The writer and ex-convict Lord Jeffrey Archer once wrote that gifts of alcohol at a wedding had 2 benefits: when you went to dinner you were assured of having good booze; and if the couple divorced, they wouldn't have your gift to fight over. This is not a post about Archer, weddings, nor divorce.

Imagine allowing an enemy to shoot at your forces so that you don't have to go to Congress for a War Powers Resolution.

Good morning, @saruninjadesu.bsky.social ! Think of this as "Revenge of the Fifth".

Perhaps the greatest gift George Lucas' creation has given us. Hope. And Resistance. Thank the Maker!!

Every time FOTUS says to the media that he is being treated unfairly or that the media is telling lies about him, the immediate question he should be asked is, “FOTUS, if you’re so sure that we’re lying about you, why haven’t you sued us and gone all the way to trial?“

Dang. My childhood captured in one pop psych article. share.google/2jGPk9ZIaeBa...

I hope none of you got caught out by the collapse of Spirit Airlines. Nor will suffer when other budget airlines on the brink, also fail. Prepare for the Big Three to gouge passengers to the point where trains and intercity bus services will be the only viable long-distance travel options.

I mean, it's a good thing he passed three cognitive tests. Otherwise, he'd definitely be classified as "vegetable".

Wishing a wonderful weekend to those who grant me the privilege of engagement with them. That's a gift not taken lightly.

On February 28, 2026, Donald Trump told the Iranian people: “When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take.” Anyone knows how that's working out for them? I mean, that was only the first causus belli. There's been about 4 more since.

The SCOTUS majority ensures that the revival of Jim Crow and the entrenchment of the three-fifths rule continues. As if the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments never existed.

I confess that every time I start feeling sorry for the legal persecution of James Comey by the DoJ, I remember what he did that landed him in this situation in the first place.

Rule 11b. You're going to hear that a lot in the coming days. And a lot of bad faith legal actors are going to argue that sanctions under that Rule aren't necessary. Don't believe a word of it.

Name a song that sets your teeth on edge. For me, it's tie between anything performed by Sixpence None The Richer, and this absolute 70s dreck. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6qn...

"A state can be founded once, but the ability to lead it, preserve its unity and steer its course is a test that leadership must meet in every generation, and especially at moments when a nation's path is put to the test." - Ariel Feldstein I'd say a lot of countries are failing this test, now.

Your 80s pop quiz, one question. How many fatalities were depicted in "The A-Team"? Careful, now.

And so, Monday. I might tug on Superman's cape and mess around with Jim while I'm at it.

I have a proposal for the mentalist guy for the Nerd Prom re-run. Pull the unexpurgated Epstein Files out of the hat and give the audience.
