i use it, but i’m a southerner and i think it sounds hilarious af coming from me.

Hah! I worked the reception desk at a radio station in Mississippi in the late ‘70s and on the weekends, to get in extra hours, I answered the phone and gave out scores as they came across on the AP ticker machine (or whatever that big hulking thing was).

Seriously? The boy’s camp had a NOAA weather radio and the girl’s camp did not? 😡

Smiting. A good ol’ fashioned smiting.

Can someone please ask the members of congress to show their math? When I was in school, I was required to show my damn work. The same should apply to these guys. Just saying “…it will reduce the deficit…” without evidence doesn’t make it so. It just tells me that they don’t know shit.

I’m not a metallurgist but isn’t gold considered a soft metal? I realize he’s enamored with it, ‘n shit, but it seems like an unfortunate label to employ for a system that’s supposed to protect the country from incoming implements of mass destruction.

Vanity, thy name is 47.

You didn’t know you needed a new #podcast, didja?

So… all these smart business people assumed he wasn’t going to do what he said he was going to do.

Then he did it, and we are now stuck in his “find out” phase.

Reckon y’all better start thinking RIGHT NOW about that “3rd term” crap.

He is not lying… he’s scheming.

the least self aware meatsack ever.

@wyden.senate.gov Please make the point that Social Security money is OUR money that has been deducted from our pay over our entire working life. We deserve to get it all back, as promised. Anything less is theft.

They’re disassembling the government so that very very rich people can keep their tax cut.

If you work at a media outlet — especially if you own or run one — this is a point you really need to think very deeply about. And not just for me or anyone else, but for you. Because getting this wrong may mean the end of your profession and career as you’ve known it. From @jvl.bsky.social

they think they are gods.

there will surely be a smiting in their future.

Thing is… he’s the one being viewed as the villain, along with the rest of the dodgy gang. We all know what they are now.

Federal employees are getting a whole lot more sympathy than he realizes. This statement will eventually bite him in the ass.

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.
