Jason Loffredo

I’m still holding out hope that at some point today it will be revealed that Kamala actually won and this second Trump presidency is an epic, long-form April Fool’s joke.

I don’t think I’ve stepped foot in a Target in the last 400 days! I don’t think a 40 day strike will be a problem! Lol

Let’s be honest Anti-DEI is simply racism/sexism/every-other-ism there is. It’s basically white revenge fantasy, and it’s now being enacted in real life. And we are ALL suffering… even the white people it’s pretending to “save”!

If this isn’t an indication that the Trump administration is missing the plot, I’m not sure what is! Anti-DEI isn’t about putting competency over diversity, it never has been. (Look at the people he’s been hiring to replace the so-called “DEI Hires”, they’re actually LESS qualified on the whole).

Apple shareholders vote to keep its diversity policies Apple shareholders voted to keep the tech giant's diversity, equity and inclusion policies on Tuesday, a win for management which had opposed efforts by a conservative group to scrap the program.

97.6% of Apple shareholders (SHAREHOLDERS(!) - not exactly a particularly diverse subset of the population) voted AGAINST ending Apple’s DEI programs! 97.6%!!! 😳 www.reuters.com/technology/a....

Being middle aged during these times is wild because it’s like, will I die of a preventable disease, will I die as a casualty in WW3, or will I live long enough to die when humankind gets eradicated by climate change?

With any luck, maybe he’ll program “Our American Cousin” to be the first play at The Kennedy Center. It would be nice to see him sitting in a Booth for that.

Also, somewhat related to this, everyone should go watch "A Real Pain" on Hulu. It's really quite good! And the entire score is Chopin piano music.

We have a similarly horrible past with slavery. Instead of canceling Black History Month, we should be celebrating it more than ever and building more memorials and sacred sites to honor the people that suffered through that. Germans have proven that if you remember the past, you don't repeat it.

We visited Dachau in Berlin in 2019. It was sobering, yet incredibly heartening to know how much reverence the German people have towards the Jewish people now, and just how deeply they don't want to ever let that happen again.

Oh, great opening salvo, Donald, fuck with everybody’s coffee… in the middle of winter! Let’s see how that plays! Also, keep buying coffee, everyone; even when it gets really expensive. Don’t give Columbia a reason to capitulate to the orange buffoon!

This is the first thing that I've watched in many days that even starts to resemble hope for the future. This is a great interview, and I'm thrilled to know that people like this exist and are TRYING to help. (Granted, the video title is a bit of an oversell, but...) www.youtube.com/watch?v=miFv...

It’s cold so… this seems appropriate!

2025, day 1 = Little Shop of Horrors

Gas is $2.81 in Queens, NY today (12/18/24). I’m just gonna leave this post up here for umm… posterity. 😏

Indeed, I WAS wondering that. Loffredo is a similarly common yet not that common surname as well. When I hear of another Loffredo, I do wonder if we’re distant cousins. And just like Mangione, there is a concentration of Loffredo’s in the specific region of Italy where my grandfather came from.

The dates of the calendar may be arbitrary but the seasons being delineated by the solstices and the equinoxes isn’t! Soooo… yeah… I stand by my statement, and this winter-like late fall weather can bite me! lol

Winter doesn’t start until December 21st! It’s still Fall!!

I really wish that winter would just wait its freaking turn! 😡

Great tip! Now I’m gonna have to think about where I can use that unique sound of doubled oboe and clarinet!

Thanksgiving deserts: done! Also shortbread and Rice Krispie Treats (not pictured).

Wow, that’s some serious dedication to the smart home lifestyle!

Yeah, yours shows up right.

Tip for the converts, edit your profile so it displays your name instead of your Bluesky handle. It makes it much easier to search for you!

Tis the season!

Emery is studying the remote controls so she can turn on “Bird TV” on YouTube herself!

What do you think, is it too late to create a Conquering Finale account on BlueSky? 🤣 #IYKYK
