Ad on Facebook. Ouch.

And as has been pointed out elsewhere, the same folks who want you to retire later won’t hire you in your 50s and up.

"Got called an exploitative ghoul at the funeral today" "Why's that, bro?" "Was being an exploitative ghoul"

At no point will I find myself in a situation where I'll say, "Oh no! I should have listened to everyone who said it was hopeless and nothing could be done. If only I'd listened, I would have been more ready for inevitable doom."

In a month I imagine we’ll see a certain group suddenly get an influx of cash, funding the blooming of a thousand conservative podcasting blossoms. And it’s going to be covered by the gullible as this great thing coming from a tragedy.

Strange, the bully is kicking my ass even though I've been telling everyone how much I respect him. Maybe he hasn't heard

“Well, I feel bad for his wife,” suggests one thinks others don’t.

Because if they go too far and someone gets killed, perhaps, they're going to be swarmed, and the cosplay Nazis ain't ready to face that damage. Spooking people into compliance is one thing. Holding territory is another. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-ev...

Another reason why I love going to @secretworldbooks.bsky.social, they remember what their customers like. Gayle showed me this little number. Bought it!

“Liberals did this” gets a block.

"Where's the butter!?"

Life in Highland Park can be more exciting than you think. There's actually signage everywhere warning about this sort of shit near Fort Sheridan.

Remember, Biden was too old.

People swimming in Chicago River for the first time in 100 years. The circle of life will be on full display as they wreck their toilets and plumbing this evening.

I live for this shit

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

Officially declaring that anyone who says we’re done for is useless. Even if they’re right, they’ve let us know they’re not worth a damn.

We’re really getting a sense of how corruption is an industry in itself.

Right wing crazies want me arrested because they know I won't back down. Too bad.

Thread from the author of Nixonland about what to do now….

No one who makes this argument should be heeded. They're either lap dogs, arguing in bad faith, looking for clicks, or totally oblivious to what's happening.

Waiting to hear about the first miracle Kirk's corpse performs.

"So, you're my enemy?" "Ha ha! Yes! You are inferior and weak! We will crush you all! Our victory is absolute!" [Mocks death of bigot.] "Stop that! That's not nice!" [Deals financial blow.] "H-hey... not cool..." [Ridicules president.] "Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?"

Halloween garage sale? Yes, please.

Fascinating story about how this obscure, gorgeous Bulgarian vocal music record was reissued by Nonesuch/4AD in the 80s. It’s better detailed in Joe Boyd’s new book but do read: www.thevinylfactory.com/features/mys...

Interesting juxtaposition, sir. Attn: @dicknixon.bsky.social

"Frankenstein" is the name of the Edgar Winter Group instrumental, not the monster.

Happy Batman Day!

“Don’t be mean to Charlie Kirk” is kinda fading fast, isn’t it?

When he’s gone, the thing I’ll miss least about him is his whiny little rich boy voice, complaining about how mean everyone is to him.

Really curious about how much Kimmel will sue them for.

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

Today I learned about "Privishing."

You can move people without manhandling or injuring them, especially if they're no threat.

Saying they disgraced themselves is such an understatement. They effectively trashed whatever reputation they have among serious scientific colleagues. Beyond the absurdity of what they were saying, they explicitly lied about what multiple studies found.

He never had a cassette player. FM100 would be on. That or the news. www.youtube.com/watch?v=21dZ...

Tried to order Lou Malnati's by phone, computer, and phone. Nothing.

Blind Boy Fuller!

Would any of the writers who follow me be interested in contributing to a @thirdcoastrvw.bsky.social article for Banned Books Week. Just a few paragraphs on reading a banned book in your youth and how it affected you. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

Dutch late night TV has its take

No one will remember Kirk come the midterms, so what the hell? Brad Schneider. Dude.

“You Have NOT Killed Me”

Just saw a guy in a shirt with a cowboy skull and the words “ The day they outlaw gas engines is the day I become an outlaw.” And there’s your problem. Folks who think their pleasures are being taken away in a country that actively indulges them.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

my wife finishes buckling my tear gas bandolier and kisses me sadly on the cheek. I hug my children. They don't know if I'll even be coming back to read them a bedtime story on any given day. It's the danger inherent to my job: finding the smallest woman I can and hurling her across a paved road

Godwin's Law was a bad idea. Carving out an exception for a group of people in history and saying "there's no possible way people in the present could be as bad as these people were in the past and mentioning the comparison is disqualifying" was misguided and ultimately destructive
