When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you." That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

Arguing with a friend on Facebook who absolutely believes that Renee Good was trying to kill or maim with her vehicle. I'm okay continuing friendships, but I'm sure as hell going to speak up when I'm told I'm either stupid or insane.

it must be lovely to live in the fantasy world they inhabit but no, that is not how any of this works

Today's a month without booze.

The president of Venezuela must be held legally accountable for his crimes, which the Supreme Court forbids to happen for the president of the US, who recently pardoned the president of Honduras for similar crimes.

Ack ack ack ack.

Jesus fucking Christ. We're attacking Venezuela. These motherfuckers.

Those years I spent in New Orleans were mighty tough. But being able to cook a mean red beans and rice is a definite plus.

Huh. Turns out you can have a way better New Year sober than drunk. I had known that once, a long time ago. I'm enjoying remembering.

life hack: don’t finish any books today; leave ten pages unread and get a jump start on 2026 by finishing all of them tomorrow.

I defended The West Wing. It was on Alex Winter's page. The haters swarmed.

I have a new laptop. It is powerful enough to run Baldur's Gate 3. Pray for me.

When I woke up, it was 27 degrees outside. So I finally closed my bedroom window.

I mean, how many Tweets today? Doesn't he have a wife and kid he wants to be spending Christmas with? Oh, nevermind....

Christmas has 12 days. My gift to myself is 21 days sober. And counting. Do you know the last time I went 21 days sober? Ah, pity, because I sure don't!

This was a wonderful present to open today.

My alma mater can go fuck itself. For real. Despicable. The height of cowardice. I'm livid.

Don't fuck with New Orleans.

"In the United States of America, you don't have to apologize for being white anymore," he said. Vance also said the U.S. "always will be a Christian nation," adding that "Christianity is America's creed, the shared moral language from the Revolution to the Civil War and beyond."

Admission: I have no idea who Jake Paul is. Yes, I could Google him, but I can't be bothered to do so.

It's playoff time in Norman!

All I want for Christmas is to see the NORAD Santa Tracker make a stop in Hollis, Queens.

We are failing our kids

"You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?" -- Joseph Welch, 1954. It's worth noting that Roy Cohn was McCarthy's counsel in the room that day before becoming Trump's mentor.

What will be the line beyond which the 25th will be invoked?

The man is not a cunt. I like a lot of cunts. The man is a clogged communal toilet, and I would rather fellate a sea urchin than ever hear him speak again.

Hey, fellow Gen Xers: did we ever figure out who had the hooch? The love? The freshy-freshy? Was it all one person or were there others?

So, umm, I went to see Belly last night. And I got to meet Tanya Donelly. I can die happy now.

I'm off to Dallas to see the band Belly. If you knew me in the CD burning era, you know what a BFD this is for me.

Now that #TheWestWing is back on Netflix, I invite the speculation: what happened to Mandy? Best answer gets a cookie*. *Offer not valid in most States, Territories, or Countries. See official rules for details.

C'mon, now. Know at least three of you old Livejournalers who will play. Best "Fuck You" songs. I want to know whatcha think.

Hmm....

My alma mater, the University of Oklahoma, chickened out. Shameful.

Here's a thought: so long as Feds are allowed to confront people based upon skin color, perhaps every American citizen should wear full masks. Or, better yet, burqa. Every one of us.

All of a sudden, when you say you're getting sober, it's like a lot of people scatter like there's a grenade in the room.

I did something I haven't done in a while: I emailed Rep. Tom Cole, Sen. James Lankford, and Sen. Markwayne Mullin to tell them my thoughts. I live in Oklahoma. Yup. I'm sure that's going to change America. (I did it, though.)

As a Saints fan, I look at Sean Payton and the 10-2 Broncos, and think, "I'm so happy for you. I'm really happy for you."

Tommy Tuberville can eat a bag of dicks.

This year, I'm thankful for all three of you that read my Bluesky posts.

ICE has arrested a University of Oklahoma professor.

Obergefell? More like Obergestands, amirite?

Quick politics joke for you: "What can you tell me about Mike Johnson?" "I don't know...."

Anyone else think that, if they do release the Epstein files, the list will include FDR, Abraham Lincoln, and James Madison?

That #Sooners win was epic. No words.

I can't argue.

My Halloween night movie. I haven't actually seen it since it was in theaters; I have listened to its soundtrack many, many, many times.

I have a crush on a girl. She's a Republican. "But I can change her!" Yeah, that always works.

Covfefe. If Joe Biden had Tweeted "Covfefe," what would have happened?

I love it when a show that I'm watching hits a mighty dramatic pause. Then I learned I accidentally left clicked.
