THIS is the type of governmental entity that needs to be purged. Not the SSA. Not the NPS. Not the Smithsonian.

Went to opening evening for Captain America: Brave New World last night. I really liked it. Quite a bit, actually. Love Mackie’s Cap & how the story went. Also really digging the main villain. Want to discuss in this πŸͺ‘ for those that have seen it. If you don’t want spoilers, don’t click & scroll.

Reminder: PRESIDENTS DAY PROTESTS @ your City Halls, State Capitols, and the White House.

Also- OPT OUT of any Presidents Day Sales from the companies that support this shit. Opt for places of inclusion such as Costco, REI, & BLACK OWNED BUSINESSES!

LET FREEDOM FUCKING RING!

just worth reiterating that every. single. Democratic senator voted for Rubio, even though they knew he was a cringing quisling racist piece of shit.

because collegiality. or something.

Warren, Sanders, Andy Kim, Ossof, Warnock. they all voted for him. they all signed off on this racist bullshit.

Tell β€˜em, fella! Jeffries and the β€œSquad” are the only ones doing ANYTHING. Much like you, I’ve lost faith in both parties.

They’re complacent and complicit at this point, UNLESS they’re mounting something in the back rooms, which we know they lack the collective spine to do.

Let’s not overlook that the DNC isn’t doing πŸ¦†all either. They should have been better prepared for this and able to fight. If they aren’t or don’t want to, it’s time to form another (actually) liberal party to go into battle. The Blue have largely become complacent.

ensuring no single branch becomes too powerful; essentially meaning they are separate from one another but hold equal weight in the functioning of government… @uscongress.bsky.social y’all have become completely cucked. Somewhere deep down, you know this and you’re not flexing your equal power.

Separate but equal branches of government" refers to the system established in the US Constitution where the government is divided into three distinct branches: the legislative, executive, and judicial, with each branch having its own specific powers and responsibilities…πŸͺ‘

If the Dems have sense, they need to normalise the phrase β€œTrump Tax”.

Eggs, coffee, gas - all going up because of the Trump Tax.

If you’re paying more for something, it’s probably because of the Trump Tax.

The world is watching on as the US imposes economic sanctions on itself.

Let me know your distribution plan so I can be on the lookout. I’m out in VA now, so Japanese spirits and fermented beverages are sparse.

Anyone else wonder what the frequency of interaction among whisky houses were like in the 1800s and early 1900s. Like did the Dewars and Walkers hang out at the same clubs when in the same cities? Was there a whisky guild that they all belonged to? I feel like I should know more about this already.

Just had a family member tell me that the β€œdemocrats are fucking us” when speaking about healthcare. Even after all the news in the past two weeks, this is where they are. These dipshits think that their party is trying to fix it for everyone and establish a form of healthcare that serves the people

WAY back in the day this was on the menu at Backstage Cafe, where I bartended. We put it on TX toast as to not kill anyone. Added bananas if anyone asked for them. I had at least one a week.

Thinking about leaving Japan makes me sad. This place, which we seem to have covered a great deal of & in actuality have just started to discover, is a place of serene ancient beauty blended w/modern convenience and wisdom. I now understand why @jakehparrott.bsky.social said to not make a checklist.

Looking at my plate gave me the diabeetus. Btw- I may be addicted to fruit sandwiches now. Perfect compliment to the coffee styles here.

A haiku about our time in Japan so far:

Walk from here to there
Stopping to eat, walk again
Eat again, then walk

For some reason the X-Men animated series theme fits perfectly with the Garfield and Friends intro.

Why do we always wait until the boiling point to get anything done? This should have been in place in Biden’s first 18 months.

Pretty much just like Twitter was near the origin. Hopefully we can keep some of the vitriol out of this platform. Also hoping the group accelerates servers as there’s a mass coming over. I’m also in Threads and like that platform a lot, but it’s getting bro-ey there too.
