Holy shit LOL. Fox is really so much worse than you already think.

“Tonight on the CBS Free Press ‘News’”

👋 Columbus. You paying attention?

This stout sort of tastes like a scented candle.

Sure, everything is terrible, but we got one helluva show at the dog park this morning.

If it wasn't so fucking dangerous, these clowns' level of incompetence would be downright hilarious.

Your intentionally loud car is really stupid. Just stop it. Thanks.

VARNEY: You canceled almost $8b of energy projects, most of them in blue states. Are you punishing the blue states? CHRIS WRIGHT: We are punishing the wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars ... do you want to subsidize E-bike lanes lanes in Portlandia? (That's not a no!)

Wait, was @rincewind.run the one who said we should do "Is he secretly dead?" again? 'cus that's a yes, apparently.

Love to wake up and find out half my resume is "Hate, Evil, and Satan"

The fun thing about power is that while you can use it to silence people smarter than you no amount of it can cure you of being a fucking dipshit

My personal timeline is full of autistic people trying to explain that there isn't more autism than before, it's just that we're better at detecting it, and there's nothing more autistic than hoping explaining something at length will help matters when nobody is really listening.

I have decided that this account will now be dedicated to Toledo War shitposting.

They control the House. They control the Senate. They control the Supreme Court. They control 56% of the State Legislatures and 27 out of 50 state governors are Republicans. Tell me again how it's Democrats that have shut down the government.

It's becoming difficult to hide that a major purpose of the Trump administration is siphoning tax revenues from Blue states and redirecting them into subsidies for Red states. At what point does this become intolerable?

It's like a Choose Your Own Hatch Act Violation.

Telling people not to be fat while standing next to Trump is like telling people not to lie while standing next to Trump

I biked a ride and its fall and there're leafs had to hit my inhaler and now i'm like a posting speedweaselandeverythingishappeningveryfast.

"I'm gonna take my ball and go home" is a stupid fucking way to run a country. From Politico:

They control the House. They control the Senate. They control the Supreme Court. They control 56% of the State Legislatures and 27 out of 50 state governors are Republicans. Tell me again how it's Democrats that have shut down the government.

I would like to request the the members of the National Guard still inexplicably deployed to DC kindly remember to walk to the left and stand to the right on the escalator

before and after hegseth's directive

I'm a former Democratic campaigns guy - so i'm not normally upset about fundraising. It's just a reality of the work. But this feels pretty sleazy. All the more so as it appears that the contribs are headed to his own campaign accounts.

So so far today we've got the great firewall of Ohio dropping, (the Buckeye Curtain?), a deranged white supremacist ranting about fitness and angry that there are ladies in the military. Which he is in charge of. And Grandpa nutty pants saying he's gonna use our cities for war games.

Viva Chicago! 🚲 (Thank you, @laloalcaraz.bsky.social 💙)

Other theory - Hegseth can't grow a decent beard and feels unmanly around bearded tactical cosplay conservibros.

These are the kinds of dudes that think being out of shape is a moral failing ... because their understanding of actual morality and ethics simply does not exsist.

The good news: it’s not a coup. The bad news: Hegseth is purging the military of everyone but thin, clean shaven men. Because that’s what’s important to him.

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

I don't have to do what your god tells you to do.

I have lived and worked in and around Chicago for 27 years and I have been assaulted less often than Sen Paul has been in his own back yard.

You do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to Eric Adams.

I don't have to do what your god tells you to do.

I'm really tired of some small-town car dealer with his roll-yer-own religion deciding what my world looks like.

I just saw yet another serious accident on my corner. The city has done NOTHING in the ten years i've lived here to slow down the fucking dangerous traffic.

I just think we should not be sending American boys 2 or 3 thousand miles away from home to do what Portland boys ought to be doing for themselves.

U.S. troops deployed to Portland marvel that "the McDonald's here are just like at home."

Just FYI: Portland as a war zone is horseshit, and deploying federal troops is horseshit.

What a frickin narcissist.

Hmmm. Indicted in a state that literally uses "sic semper tyrannis" as it's state motto. Yes, I know it's a federal prosecution. But still.

Well, spurious prosecution of political enemies and threats of prosecuting others is a whole lotta fun.

Me, practicing my defensive walking:

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

I’d seen the nutty excerpts of Miller’s speech at Kirk’s memorial, but hadn’t seen the whole thing. It’s easily the most unhinged, unapologetically fascist rhetoric I’ve ever seen from someone in US government. It’s more of a discount, Dwight Schrute Goebbels than Goebbels. But still.

BREAKING: Florida cop treated for autism after exposure to tylenol during traffic stop

Columbus' ABC affiliate, @wsyx6.bsky.social, is a Sinclair affiliate. I just sent them an email telling them that due to Sinclair's dumb decision to not air Jimmy Kimmel going forward I'm going to contact the companies which advertise with them and explain to them why they're being boycotted.

Sad google maths says that for what we're paying for the highway construction downtown, we could have payed full tuition, room, and board (as well as other expenses) for about 12,000 students. For all four years.

Went to a surprise going away party for a much younger neighbor tonight and I'm happy to announce that the haircut I had in high school is apparently cool again.

I completely support municipalities and such charge for parking. I fact I wish they did more of it - but it feels weirdly extractive and exploitative when a private entity starts charging for their previously free parking. Yeah, I’m looking at you Little Grand.
