It's not just you, I can't concentrate worth a damn either.

Hegseth is summoning them for what purpose you suppose? War? Implementation of martial law? Both? The only thing we know for sure is that it won't be good news.

My wife is a realtor who happens to have a lovely voice, so we decided to combine her talents into a parody video. I'm so stinkin' proud of her. 😍

Here we go. How long until Schiff and Cheney?

Love it. Sometimes good things happen.

Ok, I'm listening!!! youtube.com/shorts/FleKI...

My computer gives me way too much credit.

I've posted too much today but I need to share an important moment that just happened. Some of you know I have two autistic stepkiddos. The girl is 17, she's got severe ADHD + dyslexia. Year after year, especially during the COVID lockdowns, we nearly lost our minds trying to teach her to read. 🧵

Quick PSA: if you have a LinkedIn account this newly introduced setting is ON by default. Highly recommend you go turn it off unless you're fine with feeding the AI beast.

I won't be able to sleep if I don't confess it now: I stopped the escalator.

This might be peak cynicism on my part, but no, I don't believe Trump had a dramatic change of heart in the couple hours between "Your countries are going to Hell" and "I think Ukraine is in a position to fight and WIN". Something stinks.

I couldn't stomach more than two minutes of the orange sociopath's UN speech. The speakers before him addressed a wide range of issues affecting the world, i.e. the intended scope of the UN. Trump simply muttered a checklist of his supposed "accomplishments", which of course were straight-up lies. 🤮

Not many people know this but I stopped the war between Bhutan and Kiribati.

Many don't know who David D. Smith and Christopher Ripley are. That's a problem. They're the top "leaders" of Sinclair Broadcasting Group and they're openly extorting Jimmy Kimmel. If Kimmel refuses to pay TPUSA he'll take a serious ratings hit and get cancelled after all. Know the enemy.

Condolences in advance to the people who are claimed by the rapture tomorrow. Even if you survive being yanked up through your roof you'll suffocate and freeze before too long. Luckily you'll be long gone when your bodily fluids boil around 60K feet. Anyway, Godspeed. ✌️

The President of the United States just tried to pronounce acetaminophen and it did not go well. "Ass-a-tuh... ass-a-tuh... a-see-tuh? Is that okay?" He also informed us that no Amish people have autism. This presser is insane even by MAGA standards.

Disney: "It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive." No. What WAS ill-timed and insensitive was the crap being spewed by MAGA ghouls and the regime, clamoring for "war" before any of the facts were known. Your cowardice is on record, Disney.

I'm a Birds fan, couldn't care less about the Giants, but Brian Daboll needs to be fired. Also, Russell Wilson needs to retire. A huge market like NYC deserves better than this.

✅ Eagles win miraculously ✅ Seahawks crush the Saints ✅ Cowboys lose to Chicago I'll get back to political misery tomorrow, but for now I'm enjoying the way football unfolded today.

I don't even know what to say. What did I just see? #FlyEaglesFly

I don't know what the hell's going on with the Eagles offense. Throw downfield FFS!

FYI, Unravel Two is an amazing game if you play with a partner or friend. My wife and I are laughing our asses off, teamwork is absolutely paramount in this game.

Even when Ted Cruz says something I agree with I can't bear to look at him. One of the slimiest creatures to ever infect the planet. Oh, happy Saturday by the way.

It's not for everyone but I really enjoy Portlandia. I've yet to visit Portland to know whether it's actually this weird.

Hmm, my Instacart only has alcohol... they'll get the wrong impression. I better add bacon bits, baking soda, Klondike bars, and potato salad just to throw them off my scent.

If martial law is declared before No Kings on October 18, what then?

I just cannot believe the headlines I'm seeing. I know it doesn't count for much but to those who are under this relentless assault: I support you. You don't deserve this, you matter, and the choices you make are none of their fucking business.

When I told my politics-averse wife that I'd cancelled Hulu she didn't bat an eye and flatly replied, "Yeah." Even non-political people know we've reached a new incredibly disturbing stage.

I'll make you a deal: I'll stop getting alcohol from instacart the moment we stop descending into fascism. Actually maybe a couple days later because that'd probably mean Trump is gone and I'd be celebrating.

No, seriously. Fuck KOMO and fuck Sinclair Broadcast Group.

That time I broke Facebook protocol and sounded a political alarm and nobody cared. I hope the apathy was worth it.

The feeling's not mutual.

It's time for "influencers" to step up and organize a general strike; then it's up to all of us to honor it and punch the regime in the teeth. I know. It's scary. It's drastic. We stand to lose a lot. But I promise you: if we don't hit back hard now we'll lose everything that matters anyway.

I am absolutely and unapologetically anti-fascist, always will be. When should I expect a visit from DHS?

They won't stop at Kimmel. The billionaires, Big Tech, and the regime are constructing a new world order and we better figure out what we're going to do about it. If we do nothing, I guess I'll see you at church in a few years when attendance is mandatory. Posting this quote for no reason.

I saw this a few hours ago, shed a few tears, been thinking about it ever since. Bitcoin. AI. Space tourism. Billionaires racing to become trillionaires. It's all destructive bullshit. This clip right here? This is it. We must get back to this.

So... once they've stripped away Bluesky what's our Plan B? Please don't say it's anything Meta, I might vomit.

So the next No Kings protest is Oct 18. I'm conflicted... do I go up the street to my local town's protest with a couple hundred people or trek into Seattle where it could be immense? I see pros and cons with either option, some related to safety and others more about the energy. Thoughts?

If it's true that societal collapse is imminent I'll sell off my stock so Wife and I can burn through our bucket lists. Can someone please confirm one way or another? TIA.

My conversation with Daphne just a bit ago. Full transcript in the alt text.

I assume 27 NFL teams will have a moment of silence for Robert Redford this week.

The regime is maneuvering to punish those who won't mourn on their terms. When the orange sociopath finally passes I'll probably catch a charge for each cartwheel in the streets. See you in 2060. 🤸‍♂️

Rep. Hortman was doing the work. The actual, meaningful, positive work. The guy who spewed hateful sewage? Posthumous medal, stadium tributes, and flags at half staff. Meanwhile, Hortman gets an "I'm not familiar, who?" from POTUS and "Who knew her?" from Gutfeld. It's all so disgusting.

Jim Henson has been my role model for as long as I can remember. As the world gets darker by the day my admiration only grows. Just imagine... a humble, creative genius who made us laugh but also reminded us to be decent, tolerant human beings. Same goes for Fred Rogers. Both so deeply missed.

Just for fun I thought I'd share a lyric video for a song I wrote 20+ years ago. It's pretty basic stuff since I had no idea how to play any sort of instrument, but it's proof that I wasn't always a curmudgeon. 😂

Decency is never coming back, is it.

Me at 7am: "I'm gonna try to stay positive today." Headline: Russian Drones Enter Poland and Romania Me: "... shit."

That's a shame. Erika Kirk had a chance to steer the narrative in a more positive direction, instead doubled down on "we are truly terrible human beings."

Was there a specific moment when you knew you wanted your S/O to be your spouse? I'll share my moment in this short thread; would love to hear yours if you have one. Where I work we get a "crystal" award to celebrate 5-year anniversaries. It's two pieces, a flat base and a crystal resting on top. 🧵

Okay, moving on to other topics. I was raised in a very conservative household where "fart" was considered offensive. Not just doing it but even *saying* it. Now that I'm 50 I invite you to join me as I say: FART FART FART FART FART FART FART FART FART FART FART FART FART FART FART FART FART. FART!
