Look, I may have disagreed with Chuck Norris‘s politics, but that doesn’t mean I can’t also acknowledge he was an untalented actor who made shitty movies. RIP

Sometimes I find myself rooting for bad people to achieve greatness in sports or art. I always find myself rooting for good people to achieve everything in life.

I need a book recommendation for my book club. I like something with humor but will consider any genre.

Nobody on Bluesky has friends. They have colleagues and 3 dummies that think this platform is useful. You are talking to nobody. Just a bunch of self righteousness prople who think they are thought leaders talking to themselves

I can’t post on this app. How do I say smart things with limited characters, to a bunch of people smelling their own farts. Everyone here is the genius content creator building their brand.

The oil companies were informed the invasion was going to take place. Congress was not. Corporations have more power, access and influence than our elected representatives.

There are people in the United States that will allow the government to trample them as long as they think their guns are safe.

Every Christmas I ask for Nine Ladies Dancing but I get Ten Lords a-Leaping. Maybe next year.

I think my IPhone ignores the words I type and chooses its own adventure.

Why did the old man fall into the well? Because he couldn’t see that well. You don’t need a parachute to go skydiving. You need a parachute to go skydiving twice. Remember when you were a kid and got a new joke book? You were a menace.

You can have constructive relationships with leaders of countries that were terrorists and/or fund terrorism and not invite them to the White House.

I don’t want to be rich. I don’t want to be famous. I just want to live my life with the least amount of suffering. Is that too much to ask for?

Bluesky is where people who think they are thought leaders post their observations and nobody responds. If you don’t engage with the normies, you are just doodling in your notebook. It’s a place where I see people say stuff I agree with and that’s the end of that.

When I’m watching football on Sunday, I’d rather pedophiles and rapists not join in the broadcast to shoot the shit.

Had a Swee Tango apple for breakfast. 10/10

Wealthy people in power are not restrained by things like integrity, conscience or ethics. They figure out if an action will make them more money or provide them with more leverage. If the answer is yes, they move forward and don’t think twice about the people they harm.

We live in a time when people throwing rocks at minorities and the helpless, will get mad at people criticizing the folks throwing rocks. Both sides are bad I guess? You see, you are hateful too!!!!!!

That feeling when the toothpaste is real fresh and you press it against your teeth.

I'm seeing arguments that Trump's an authoritarian but not the worst kind of authoritarian. It's a bit like people saying that the war crimes in Gaza are hideous but should not be called a genocide. Maybe we should focus on the fact that the house is on fire & debate how high the flames were later.

When intelligent patriotic people decide to make the military their career, they expect to be the opposition to dictatorships. They believe in democracy and freedom. They don’t want the military to be political. Today was sad and scary.

I imagine a lot of good people are retiring early from the government and military. They want no part of this. Eventually, even the most loyal member of MAGA will not be White, Christian or Conservative enough. They will become the oppressed and persecuted. They will be the new target.

I think the Ryder Cup would be great if it weren’t for the Americans. We embarass ourselves on the world stage daily. Send the troops into Bethpage Black not Portland.

Best question Asking family or roommate Do you want anything at the store? Best Answer Surprise Me Best Result Your favorite snack!!!!

I weighed myself this morning and then fired my scale.

One of the more notable things about our present political moment is that former Republicans like Joe Walsh or the folks at the Bulwark have a more clear eyed understanding of political strategy than a significant number of long-time, moderate Democrats.

Stephen Colbert is still alive. The firing just made him more popular and a symbol of fascist resistance. I wonder if he shows no mercy with his monologues going forward. Wherever he shows up next will get so much attention. It could turn out to be a blessing for him.

UFC matches at the White House? In a few weeks Trump is gonna be throwing immigrants off the Washington monument to see how high they bounce and people will cheer.

Carmy: I succeeded (he received Michelin stars) and did everything for all the wrong reasons. I was a wounded piece of shit. I want to get better. He looked her dead in her eyes and said (to a black woman) : You are everything I could never be. That’s why I watch the Bear.

maybe morally there are people I should hate more than I hate rfk but realistically and practically, in the depths of my spirit, there are not. no hell hot enough

this is so amazing

There are many jobs that people need to take for economic reasons that do not align with their personal ideals and ideologies. Neither ICE nor any role protecting or boosting the Republican regime is one of those roles. Everyone involved in those actions is choosing fascism with their whole heart.

Resisting fascism isn’t violence, it’s survival!

I ask my 2nd Amendment friends, isn’t this the tyrannical government you were talking about? Why aren’t you in the streets defending the people from the government?

Trump: you disrespected me. I demand 111 tariffs!!! Billionaires: That will ruin the world’s economy. Trump: I postpone the tariffs for 90 days and demand a new gold plated Choo choo train.

Jake Tapper’s next book will discuss Julius Leber’s multiple arrests and unsatisfactory work in the wallpaper industry.

The left needs its own Tyrese Haliburton

anything that at any point you loved but then became too cool for, know that someday you will turn back to that thing and say "oh. no. you were fine, you were more than fine. it is I who was cringe"

I just watched the John Oliver segment about minor league baseball and beer came out of my nose.

The nights I have too many beers, the dark thoughts start creeping in. That’s when I need my mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom to come give me a visit. My dreams can save me.

People are like songs. Some are fun for a minute but their appeal is superficial. They become less interesting over time. Then there are people who are more difficult to get to know. They turn out to be smarter, deeper and more beautiful over time. They become your favorites.

I’m getting all kinds of dating tips from ‘Love on the Spectrum’

Imagine the great writing we would get if Mark Twain and Kurt Vonnegut were alive today. The fascism would almost be worth it!!!!

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

A New Hampshire real estate attorney and American citizen returning home from Canada says he was detained at the border without an explanation and "treated like a criminal."

Trump could not be bothered to welcome dead American soldiers home because he was golfing with the guys behind 9/11

there are a lot of people who’ve considered their positions stable, nimbyish folk, who are about to experience an internal market correction

I feel so vindicated, never getting involved with the stock market. For example, my wife invested a bunch of our shared retirement money and she's FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW! Ha ha, what a loser.

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again
