@diedrichbader.bsky.social thank you for giving my wife and I something funny to say to each other whenever we see a sign for a taekwondo gym 😄

Black Doves is awesome

I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore

Lol Kirk cousins. Wonder how many other QBs said no.

Oh my God why oh why

This is something my wife @michellelamothe.bsky.social is hoping will happen to me one day

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

@joshgondelman.bsky.social I enjoyed the story you shared on the Bad Dates pod. Very funny 🤣

two photos side by side. in the left photo, a dog is leaning out the driver window of a red vehicle toward a drive-thru window. in the right photo the dog has entered the establishment through the window, only his hind end sticking out.

This dog got a little impatient waiting for his pup cup. Decided to make sure everything was going alright in there. 14/10

putting this here for no reason at all

New poll:

“America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.”

• 80% of Americans agree

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

You can’t do “mass” deportation and give due process, and what conclusion you draw from that says important stuff about your commitment to law.

Good morning Bluesky !

“This is not what we voted for.” Yes, yes, it is. You just didn’t think it could destroy you, too.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.
