An American Tail poster with lil ol mouse immigrant Fievel

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

this is actually impressive, making up a brand new nobel peace prize replacement is a genuine innovation in bribery

absolutely nobody does corruption like FIFA

My thoughts are with the victims of today's UPS plane crash, but they are also with the NTSB investigators who, tomorrow, will dig through half a mile of toxic debris to find the black boxes, all without being paid. Godspeed to them as well.

Not all. About half are not great. But of course it looks like they are all going to pass.

There are like 15 constitutional amendments on the ballot. We will see how it goes.

Thoughts with the families of the 3 crew who were on the UPS flight from Louisville to Honolulu. We all depend on folks like them to deliver essential goods to us, and it’s hard when something goes so horribly wrong as it clearly did today. 😒

Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.

Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.

'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

Chuck Schumer did a boneheaded thing today, and that was worth calling out, but a good test for who you should be listening to is who is celebrating wins tonight instead of coming up with new reasons to be mad at the Democrats

@dd9000.bsky.social another Bunny stocking option? I gotta make a decision in the next couple of days!

Haha. I don’t think that would work. He’s not really interested in toys in his older age. I think once he gets more into a walkies routine, he might be a little more enthusiastic. He just needs some exercise and some enrichment. He did better tonight in this new harness.

Trying to get Guapo to lose some weight. So we did some walkies tonight in his new harness. He will only really walk when we are headed back to the house, as seen here. But the potato was a-moving!

Still entering but I should be done in the next couple of hours. Won’t have to stay up all night working on it.

Many of the propagandists of Autocracy, Inc., have learned from the mistakes of the twentieth century. They don’t offer their fellow citizens a vision of utopia, and they don’t inspire them to build a better world. Instead, they teach people to be cynical and passive, because there is no better world to build. Their goal is to persuade people to mind their own business, stay out of politics, and never hope for a democratic alternative: Our state may be corrupt, but everyone else is corrupt too. You may not like our leader, but the others are worse. You may not like our society, but at least we are strong and the democratic world is weak, degenerate, divided, dying.

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.

I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

But seriously how are actual fans of these teams doing this, even my dad texted to be like β€œthis is insane” and he doesn’t watch baseball

Jays Fans watching this game probably need a Thorazine dip by now. I’m stressed out even as a casual watcher who just wants the Canadian underdog team to win.

The other two are options just because I think they are pretty and one of them has a little Bunny on the scene. His personality is, well, weird. I think he’s really smart but I don’t think he sees very well. He’s tall and lanky like a deer and eats a LOT. But is still thin. He’s like a model!
