Tony Breed ✶ next appearance: Pride in Panels (SF) 2/15/26

This is familiar to a lot of us! And we do not call it “being fired”.

We’ve all worked somewhere with someone who was grossly incompetent, but kept that job for a long time, until finally they were such a problem that they had to be removed, and the way it was done was to move them to a new job, something newly created just for them so they couldn’t do more damage.

Good morning! It’s Friday morning and time for some music. I’ll be spinning great tunes for the next 3 hours at 107.1fm and chirpradio.org. Let’s do this thing!

If I don’t follow someone that I used to it’s because, obviously, we all make mistakes. If someone doesn’t follow me back it’s because, after careful consideration, they have determined that I’m boring.

If you see this, post a character that starts with W… ✨🪄

OMG. Are they new to snow? The streets will not be clear enough.

Holy cow!

Here’s my mom’s car. This is about 15% more snow than the blizzard of ’78 was… but it wasn’t a surprise like the blizzard of ’78. This time they told people to stay home.

My first play was in second grade. It was about the blizzard of ’78. I was the snowplow guy and I had two lines. (I was in second grade in 1979.)

little lamb @puddleofbrain.bsky.social I asked the produce guy at Whole Foods if they have shallots and he said what is that and I said it's the onion that's shaped like a teardrop and he said aren't they all and then he started to cry the roundest tears I've ever seen November 18, 2025 at 3:19 PM

In an Intense Election Year, New Post Office Rules Could Trip Up Voter Registration - Bolts A change in how mail is postmarked could lead some voters to miss key deadlines, including voter registration. Advocates worry the people most affected will be those already facing voting barriers.

NEW: The USPS changed its rules on how it postmarks ballots.

This may affect elections at every stage at which there's a mail deadline.

An underplayed one: VOTER REGISTRATION.

Many voters who send in their registration forms by mail could be postmarked late, missing out without realizing it.

I was pretty proud of that line!

Me: I kind of want to request the Smiths' "Panic," but I know that's an implicit threat to you.

DJ @tonybreed.bsky.social: I'm not afraid. None of you have any rope.

Still adding slop accounts daily. It's at around 6,750 accounts now. I make sure to click into each one and scroll a little to make sure they deserve to be listed in here.

I have seen some... messed up stuff.

City life is such a beautiful kaleidescope of experiences.

Okay I’m gonna be honest it was only like 90% of his ass, but it was certainly more human ass than I’ve seen on the public way in a long time.

Just saw a guy on the street bending over to pick up a cigarette butt, and his pants were kind of hanging off him and… well, you’re familiar with the expression “he showed his whole ass?” This was not a metaphor.

Hey hey hey it’s T minus one minute here at the San Francisco Public Library! See you soon maybe?

This Sunday 2/15 I’ll be tabling at #PiPFest2026 @prideinpanels.bsky.social in San Francisco! I’m exciting to be back tabling in the Bay Area after so many years away.

Free to attend! One day only! Easy access from Muni and BART!

It’s not very Chicago to mention deep dish pizza, but it is very Chicago to say “friggin”, so I will call it a wash. It sounded like a line from a bad sitcom pilot, but it was real life.

Overheard at the airport: “you’re gonna relax, you’re gonna melt like a friggin Chicago deep dish pizza”

Same!

Believe that they're really ending the surge in Minnesota when people on the ground say it's happened but also *even* if this is nothing but more face saving, it's a huge acknowledgement that they know they're losing and that the people of Minnesota are never going to stop protecting their neighbors
