A fun afternoon out with the mothership at Highland Brewing for their Cold Mountain Beer release. Great beer and lovely fall weather. 🍻

YouTube TV can feck off with their contract negotiation failure to make ESPN/abc available. Greedy bastards.

Emotional labor is harmful. It’s sad to see a company that had a good reputation for treating employees well fall so far away from its values.

A very bright spot amidst the chaos.

Woken up by a big, noisy funderstorm.⛈️

Y’all, it’s so cool that Bluesky friends are real friends. How fortunate are we that technology brings delightful people into our lives. Thanks to @scottculkin.bsky.social for a great seafood dinner in San Diego and @drjbw.bsky.social for a super Zoom chat!

Sleep well.

Heroine shit. 👑

I’m gonna need some people to slow their roll and pace themselves. We still have one more day this week. Hold it together!

82 years and a week ago my Grampy, fresh out of Marine Corps boot camp, climbed aboard a ship in this harbor that would take him halfway around the world to a series of islands in the South Pacific. He repaired planes for Pappy Boyington. He was my hero. I miss him. #Midway (DO NOT SHARE THIS POST)

Hear, Hear! We will keep this republic!🇺🇸

Hellooooo San Diego! ☀️

Hey, friends, join in the fun!

Travel snacks always taste better than home snacks, even if they’re the same treat. (Choose the bear because the bear choses the best snacks)

Travel day to San Diego. OK with TSA at my podunk airport, and a layover in Chicago means Garrett’s Popcorn. Thank goodness for mileage points to upgrade my seat and window seats for privacy and a nap. I promise to be polite and assist those who need it because it’s shit out there for everyone. 🛫

Air travel? 🤔

Update: The Agriculture Department just told the court it will use its entire emergency fund over the next month to make 50% payments to every SNAP recipient. My office is still reviewing the order to see what else we can do to help, but we all need to give extra support our local food pantries.

Oh, how glad I am that he’s not here to witness the madness and chaos we’ve become. It would break his kind heart.

Some good news for SNAP recipients.

Absolute ridiculousness everywhere I look.

“What is the filibuster and why all the fuss about it,” you say. Well, here’s a dandy explainer for you. It’s helpful! www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

IYKYK for the very few.

Time to wake up and resume the fight.

November newsletter out now! milwritersguild.substack.com/p/november-2...

Buckle up, Buttercup. I’m gonna harsh your mellow with reminders of your deeply privileged existence.

This November, instead of just thanking vets for their service, get involved. At Veterans Community Project, we’re housing homeless veterans and reducing veteran suicide. YOU can help me reach my goal of … out raising my wife Diana for VCP! secure.givelively.org/teams/vetera...

He told us what would happen. Too many people didn’t listen.

“personal social media posts” implies they are not within the Navy’s purview. Or am I missing something? taskandpurpose.com/news/navy-se...

Good info if you’re donating items to a food bank. Remember, cash always helps!

It’s about priorities. 👇

Hear, Hear!

A movie you’ve seen more than 7 times with a gif.

Anyone? Anyone? Anyone?

I’m still binging Grey’s Anatomy and am on season 17, the COVID season. My god, we’ve forgotten the horror. The mass deaths. The fear. The quiet of quarantine. The struggle of quarantine for so many at risk people. And we’ve forgotten who was delinquent in caring for our nation. Get vaccinated. 💉

Saying what must be said. I encourage you to watch the full speech. youtu.be/fnUO0Plcpbo?...

Well articulated by Dr. Roy Casagrande. youtube.com/shorts/LVZAz...

So far, no change. I guess we’ll check again tomorrow.

Using racist language to fan the flames of hate. Lies won’t change the truth. Facts: Most people who use SNAP are white, American, low wage workers currently employed. SNAP supplements their income or fills the gap when they’re laid off or can’t work. Those helped most are children and elderly.

No one renovates a house to their taste with plans to move out.

Whew! I ate too much candy 🤢 and had a rough day with the mothership 😢 Look after yourselves ♥️

I’m taste testing all the candy just in case. Everyone is welcome for my sacrifice. 🍫

I’ll take your candy corn if you don’t want it. 👻

NC AG and other states’ AGs filed suit against the USDA. This is good news!

🎃HAPPY HALLOWEEN🎃

Happy Halloween. This is more frightening than any horror movie.
