American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

At least his wife looked like she died a little inside while he was jocularly being a moron.

@ kendrick lamar do one about schumer

What the Senate Dems have said with their weakness is that they have no faith in us. Let them cook.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

I would pay $20 right now for a lactose or dairy free thin mints frosty. Looking at you @wendys-usa.com

I often think of how I was told by adults as a young person that I’d get more conservative as I aged. I was FAR MORE conservative as a teen & 20-30 year old than now. Now I realize they were/are all lead poisoned.

Two dogs show up in a neighbor’s yard. At least one is wearing a collar with tags. Instead of checking that, they posted a pic to the fb neighborhood forum. I don’t understand people.

There are a BUNCH of cybertrucks sitting on the Tesla lot at Easton. Unsold.

Did I get on @talcotts.bsky.social ‘s mailing list somehow?

Hey @beyer.house.gov - just listened to you talk w Brooke on On the Media. You think there will be anything left by the time you’re voting on funding the government? My guy. Don’t bother. There won’t be anything left. You’re sitting down. Might as well lay down now.

That video of the cop smashing that guy - holding a baby, parked in front of his own house - against a car for exactly zero reason is so CPD, it could be a training video. These fucking cops. What a joke squad they are.

Have y’all ever been awakened by a weird noise, gone downstairs to investigate it, & nothing, then go back to bed & realize that the weird noise may have been you?

Sometimes I get myself out of bed with the promise of a nap.

very excited to see what happens when you make a deeply compromised addict the leader of the department of defense and subordinate to a madman

I just need to tell someone that I scored the last Mac Cool Spice lip liner in central Ohio today.

I got an infrared thermometer for cooking reasons, but the thing I use it most for is temping the inside of my kitchen cabinets when it’s very cold (48°).

Take back your attention.

Immigrants are taking all the best jobs.

Remind me to avoid self tanner when I’m crypt keep years old. #melting

Happy MLK Day.

I am sure in the “Sound of Music”that Rolf was just showing that his heart was going out to the Von Trapp family.

Guardian vs. NYT. You know who's going to call things by their true names and who's not even gonna give you syrup with that waffle. Guardian: "Elon Musk waded into controversy on Monday when he gave back-to-back fascist-style salutes....

Real tough guys inaugurate outside.

Who all is here? It *is* like 2005/6 twitter. I remember they had that map & you could see who was nearby & I’d look at their feed & decide to follow or no. If they seemed cool, you’d check who they were talking to. Follow them. And so on.

I'm here. I'm dipping my toes in.
