Lovely

How is it possible that a country with so many brilliant people can be run by a bunch of morons.

I saw @thomaswalsh.bsky.social, @thomasdolby.bsky.social, and @the-paulmccartney-project.com all in a month. Didn’t even have to leave Pittsburgh!

Rump posting an AI video of dumping shit on America perfectly exemplifies why we were protesting. It’s his actual feelings about our country.

Jungle Walk! I have a recording of my band playing that from 76. Great guitar work (Buzzy!).

Get those a lot. It’s always at the end of an extended stay somewhere and I somehow forgot that I’m flying today.

That would save me a lot of clicks.

I wish Trump would have just become an alcoholic like his brother. None of this would have ever happened.

From the liner notes of a Brian Wilson tribute album I was honored to be part of.

Some of my best moves on social media were deciding not to post what I was thinking.

I’ve made gazillions.

I have an old fashioned car - I have to drive it myself.

I would like for a psychologist to break down how it’s actually fear that makes people bow down to Trump.

Lord of the Flies - somehow I knew it was prophetic about what society was to become.

Having Rump run the country is like putting Biff Tanden in charge - a belligerent stupid bully who Fs everything up. I keep holding out hope for a George McFly style revenge.

Hypothetical question: If Murdoch’s Fox News propaganda machine was somehow able to be shut down by mid oughts would we be where we are now? My vote is No.

I seem to recall a certain cartoon about Trump’s brain that seems apropos to the moment.

EviLONe

You’re right, I hadn’t seen it. Apologies to Tom for not getting it about other chats we might never hear about.

Goldberg is a reporter - he likely has screen caps.

In my area, there are a lot of issues with landslides, hills collapsing, and mine subsidence. It feels like an appropriate metaphor for what’s happening to our democracy right now.

Remorseful Trump voter: “I never thought it would happen to me.” The first three words say it all.

Damn. One of my biggest heroes😢

CNN Poll: Spouses of wife beaters are to blame for being cowards. (We forgot to ask opinions about the abusers.)

Repeat after me: Gulf of MEXICO, Gulf of MEXICO, Gulf of MEXICO, …

For all you idiots who wouldn’t vote for Biden because of the devastation in Gaza - here’s the reward for your wisdom.

Please stop saying “the Internet” when referring to social media. I worked with early Internet pioneers in the 90s - it was all about access to information, a tremendous advancement. Social media has warped it by allowing access to misinformation and lazy people can’t distinguish between the two.

Probably have to go completely dark tomorrow.

Current self-preservation technique: scroll down / change channels every single time something about Rump and/or his asinine cohorts appears.

Day after Biden’s farewell speech the news reports correctly listed his great accomplishments with infrastructure, job creation, and clean energy, then ended with his 39% approval rating. WTF is wrong with this country??
