We need to come up with a new name for the head office: I cannot call someone a president without feeling nausea anymore. I'll admit it's sad, especially when I lost "with all due respect..." Embrace the New Courtesy...

For the love of God, people, hanging around the service counter after you've gotten service is the main cause of elder abuse... by me. #satire

Can we stop with "TRUMPS IN TROUBLE!" and "TRUMP FINALLY SCREWED UP!" Bullshit? They.Don't. Care. Maybe go out and mobilize neighborhood watches or awareness programs, join a milita. Anything but giving / having false hope. Always hurts. It never helps. Disagree? Haters gonna hate...

📌Just heard an interview with John Mellencamp. Jack, in "Jack and Diane" was written as a black dude. They were an interracial couple. Thing is, the music producers didn't like that back then, so it wasn’t sold that way. Mellencamp was asked why. "Because America is racist as hell, that’s why ..."

In 1861 to 1864, various elected officials screwed US troops out of millions in provisions and supplies, likely killing troops who couldn't maintain combat readiness. Some things never change...

People use Harambe as the touchstone of our downfall, but I beg to differ: on 9/11/01 and afterward, I saw hate make a big comeback after 2-3 decades of slow, painful progress. It's still heartbreaking...

Playlist for the rest of 2025: "Welcome to the Black Parade" -MCR "Half-Truism" -Offspring "God Was Never on Your Side" -Megadeth "Wash it all Away" - FFDP

It's- 1 in Paris, going up to 5 today. Why do I do this to myself?

Yes, I am a Patriot, in the most American way possible: I learned civics at the knee Steven Rogers, aka Captain America. He wouldn't have stood for this bullshit. He refused his government's call to bow or bounce - TWICE. But never stopped fighting. That is my aspiration... for all of us.

Instead of whistling in the dark, why not light a fire? Or 2?

Ow. Ow ow ow ow ow. Did I mention ow? Because ow...

No single victory is going to end this war. While you cheer when the stormtroopers run, someone is training the next batch...

I don't know why people are so stupid: we were never going to get the files unredacted...

@erika-buenaflor.bsky.social I may have some herbology questions in the near future...

So... naturalized citizens of Amerikka: how you feeling?

I am NOT a nice person: every proper behavior and restraint I learned through patience and learning started when I was 14. I care for others, but it won't prevent me from doing what's necessary. In religious terms, I am a Sheepdog: not a Shepard, not a Sheep, and my religion is Freedom...

This is what it means to be a Dad, not just someone's father...

Everyone today has been offering condolences. I no longer care about your sympathies: you always think you can comfort others. I CAN because I lay your head in my shoulder, and you bawl till the cows come home. No huhu. You CAN'T, because you have no idea why I'm crying. We are not the same...

@ournewhomecoach.bsky.social Just checking to see if you & yours are ok

This ought to be more spoken about in all facets of internet existence abcnews.go.com/amp/Business...

He died while I was on my way home from visiting him. My brother, Paul, is dead. My brother is dead. Fuck.

@mycandlesp.bsky.social prize winning slavery?

So we now have Neighborhood Watch for ICE. Well done, you magnificent, deranged politicians! Well done indeed!

I can't imagine our fine government would recruit thugs... ... never mind.

All jokes aside, let me tell you: - we are losing this war - we are not going to win solely on rallies and marches - we are not nearly as ready to fight as they are (distressing in and of itself) They've already started dehumanizing us. We're becoming "less than". WAKE UP!

"When 2 or more are gathered in my name, I will be there." Sounds an awful lot like a node...

Never had what you call an attachment to Thanksgiving: only child, ended up institutionalized did service, roamed California until my clarity kicked in. Married and had my son. Still keep to ourselves, except today.Today, I am grateful I get to watch my niece's fiancee get sick from 1 beer. #blursed

And now, we're killing National Guard troops stationed in D.C.. Why?

Starting to think BlueSky ought to post the Declaration & Constitution on top of every post. Sure, it makes posts unreasonably long, but I'm now convinced we need constant reminders...

I think Tom Holland and Zendaya would be perfect for a film version of "The Cat Who Could Walk Through Walls" by Robert A. Heinlein. Shave the sexist dialogue a bit, beef up the back-and-forth some, and viola! #zendaya #tomholland #marvel

Are we there yet? Asking for a friend...

Are you finished hoping someone/something comes along to rescue us? Just asking before the executions commence...

I've known this since 1985. What's YOUR excuse?

The thought "I'm on to something" is the most addictive trigger in all neurochemistry...

Remember when the Black Panthers provided locL food & education in impoverished neighborhoods? If yes, we need it back. If no, then know the only thing the Panthers were truly resisting was genocide by diet and ignorance.

Delightful, quiet, peaceful Sunday. Except for the replies from someone who basically said my desire for freedom and justice for all is my personal responsibility because I'm a cis white male. To clean up "my mess". Hard to be an Ally today...

I would have been a kinder, gentler Thanos. And you know EXACTLY what I mean...

So... Today, I'm at ALDIs with my wife, shopping & and whatnot when someone comes in wearing a "TRUMP 2028" cap. He's checking out bananas. He notices I'm looking at him like I want to defenstrate him. Guess I spooked him because he left soon after. I'm not happy with my behavior, but... f 'em

The damage the GOP has done to date will take our country, at best, 20 years to repair. At worst? I won't waste my breath. You should know this by now. We are not the Philippines: People Power will get you killed, imprisoned, or thrown into a work camp Prove me wrong, kids!

They're trying to get you to choose between eating or Healthcare. They won't let you have both (or either, really, but that's another discussion). Are you STILL waiting to act?

"As long as one man stands against you, you'll never be able to claim victory." - Captain America

I feel sorry for people just now realizing what's going on: I mean, I won't criticize, but dayum...

Do not denigrate the man; he has no dignity Do not decry the figurehead; it's almost a certainty now that he was NOT the brains of the operation Do not accuse the criminal; YOU gave them permission to steal And all for what? Nothing We received exactly what we wanted; why's everyone mad?

I wonder how many people on this site thought it wasn't possible, I'd like to remind you that this IS their normal behavior. Try to remember this, ok?
