that’s a rich view coming from a Zeppelinist

this thread started here and landed with a history lesson about egyptian cotton. a literal "today i learned."

+1 fantastic support, Louis

during yesterday morning’s first walk, i saw a bobcat + kitten in the open space. that’s a first.

JERRY WHAT EVEN

CHARTS ARE TRICKY MICHAEL

Kennnnnn

started the laundry room remodel in late July. to-the-studs demo. everything you see is new + we designed + installed it. now on to decorating it so it’s not just black + white. pro tip to new remodelers: nothing is ever square + plumb. figure out what your reality is w/ levels + plumb bobs.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

RAP? SURE.

maybe the brain worm just hates tylenol

fyi, a group of shitty people is called a pile

It gives me no pleasure to inform everyone that these are the same memes that everybody's parents were passing around on Facebook 10 years ago, but spiffed up a bit for the TikTok audience

so the president just tweeted out an offense worse than watergate, we all realize that right?

ma’am, this is a Church Retreat

It is very hard for me not to cut and paste passages from my book into posts at this point. I have been told by my editor not to give away the goods. That said. The difference in scale of outrage between Attiah’s firing and Kimmel’s suspension proves a whole point about canaries and coal mines.

As far as I can tell the Trump Administration’s stance is that he took $50,000 in cash for totally innocent reasons and that thinking otherwise is deep state nonsense. No, it’s not plausible.

Tom Homan can be bought for $50k

It's important to remember when GOP Reps and Sens are yelling about the 'violent left' that they routinely tell reporters and colleagues how theyre afraid to do this or that because their own supporters routinely threaten violence agains them.

My department at CU Boulder is hiring BOTH an Assistant Professor of Journalism AND an Associate/Full Professor of Journalism Studies. I am on the search committee for the Associate job. Happy to answer questions or direct you to the right people. Links in this thread.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social at #TAF25l: Donald Trump’s use of the military as his “personal militia” is “everything George Washington feared about what the U.S. military could become.” Watch more: bit.ly/3ItaNSB

Now they have me agreeing with Ted Cruz. 😭

If you’re in a giving mood, a friend of mine could really use your help. She suffered a traumatic brain injury last year and needs therapy to relearn speaking and walking. She and her husband are wonderful people and have been through hell. Anything helps, even sharing.

I wonder if the statute of limitations are passed to sue all the stations that only showed the bad side of Osama bin Laden

Kat is still out there fighting four hours after this. I'm just fucking livid.

And again, why are these agents kitted out like they are going into Mogadishu?

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

spent the day in the mountains yesterday. hiked four+ miles through Caribou Ranch Open Space, then had lunch in Estes Park + dinner in Boulder. just an amazing day.

hailstones are getting bigger

JERRY NOOOOOOOOO

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

Karina Villa protecting her constituents by literally running ICE off the streets in West Chicago and yelling to residents to stay inside their homes.

I WILL SUE YOU FOR ACTUAL MALLETS CC @kenwhite.bsky.social

a PS: i mentioned this encounter to my wife + she told me these same two moto e-bike rider kids had nearly hit her out in the open space earlier in the day. when these kids do finally crash or get hit, it will be sad but hardly surprising.
