Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Not that my career catapulted anywhere (mostly my choice), the experience I garnered as an IT support manager at a small, not very well funded University in the 2000’s, is immeasurable. Figuring out how to fix shit became easy after that.

🤮

Seemed like it was getting better. It is in fact not getting any better. The app seems to have regressed over the past few updates. Frustrating.

Squinting/smiling same I guess. lol

Welp. Says a lot. #gobirds! Lets hope 55 does his magic.

Last person I want see during the pregame for the Super Bowl. 🙄Hoping the boo birds come out and give him proper Philly welcome. #gobirds #flyeaglesfly 🦅

If only we were merely living in an SNL skit

Ford pardoned Nixon. GHWB pardoned the Iran-Contra crew. Clinton pardoned Marc Rich and his half brother. Trump pardoned Steve Bannon, Mike Flynn, Roger Stone, and Charles Fucking Kushner!

Joe Biden pardoning his own son doesn't come close to any of those truly controversial pardons. Get a grip.

Prosecute or persecute? I’m sure they do both.

🙄 I want to appreciate how he’s been better as a coach, then he says nonsense like this.

Nope. Good on him.

*Quarterback.

Not great when your punter is looking like the player of the game.

Total cheap shot.

Really sucks.

Nice to see you’re on Bluesky.

🥰 I needed to hear this today.

That’s a great venue.

Okay. If I'm gonna move in and unpack here on Bluesky, I'm gonna quasi-begin by reposting the story I did at the Atlantic I'm most proud of. Thread:

My brother's roommate, Bobby McIlvaine, was killed on 9/11. They'd lived together since college. Bobby was 26 years old. 1/8

Still a great article.

Milan says hello.

Ben…

Trump’s demolition of the US state One irony of the president-elect’s campaign of destruction is that the government is in dire need of reform

I've been seeing the same.

January we were flying United to Paris. The attendant somehow knew it was my birthday and brought my wife and I champagne from first class. Cheers to you on your birthday. 🥂

As someone who majored in humanities and works in IT, I couldn’t agree more. Besides, humanities majors are just more fun!

Especially when they go to the wrong door. The armed to the teeth angry maga supporter is not going to take kindly to the no knock entrance. I don’t see where any of this plays out well.
