If this were true, then they’re the same people who have been fans of Rage Against the Machine and one day read the lyrics and believe that RATM suddenly became political.

Proposal: renaming the White House section formerly known as the East wing to the Ego Wing. This is not the behavior of someone who is resigned to the fact that this is his last term. Squatter in Chief.

Just saw an ICE recruitment advert here in south Florida during the SNF game. I wanted to throw my phone at my fucking tv.

Watching SNF game on NBC in south Florida when a Miami-specific ICE commercial comes on. Addressed to local law enforcement saying sanctuary cities keep cops handcuffed, that they should join ICE and take down the worst of the worst. INSTANT rage. 🀬 this administration and all who agree with this.

Why do this? Why not just proclaim there’s zero unemployment…
Based on this concept, I now understand why they’re breaking down healthcare, education etc.; these problems have all been solved by the exalted one. That orange is not spray tan, but the color of perfect health. BEHOLD! πŸ™„πŸ€ͺ

I am currently reading When the Moon Hits Your Eye by John @scalzi.com. As usual, I am highly entertained, but was particularly tickled to discover the accountancy firm of McGovney, Burton, Newsted and Trujillo. Surely I can’t be the first to notice? Google thinks I’m insane. #Metallica #bassists

DEFEATED BY KIMMEL AND AN ESCALATOR, TRUMP SHOULD RESIGN - 9.25.25 Podcast Episode Β· Countdown with Keith Olbermann Β· 09/25/2025 Β· 1h

I also heard on @olbermann.bsky.social Keith’s podcast that ABC affiliates have to pay a postponement fee each time they don’t run an ABC show. Additionally if they cancel enough shows then ABC can cancel their contract with the affiliate. Reference @ 15:30 mark podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

I heard/read about that somewhere. Yes he’s back but in s as limited capacity. Is good thing none of this political in any way shape or form! πŸ™„

Curious…this reminds me of the time the PMRC (remember them!?) was slapping PARENTAL ADVISORY labels on albums; that music (and your book) was not on my radar until someone started throwing a fit about it. Now I’m intrigued about your book…subversive marketing!

Oh FFS (to myself). So much has happened since then - including Parkland which is about a half hour from my home - that I forgot that specific statistic. What an absolute nightmare that there’s so much of it that I can’t keep it straight in my mind. πŸ˜” Thank you for the clarification.

β€œ20 kids six adults” is this a specific shooting or is this a combined statistic? I’m confused as the OP was talking Kirk shooting and the CO school shooting (2 injured, shooter dead).

Just got out of the theater like an hour ago. I had no idea you were in this into the credits rolled. I saw and thought, β€œwhat!?” I thought about it for a minute and realized exactly who you played. Brilliant performance once again! πŸ‘πŸ‘

Floridian here. Since it says they’re pulled for review I’m guessing they’re looking to remove entries for things about DEI, LGBTQ+ and any sort of β€œwoke” stuff. Maybe the gov wants to expand β€œdon’t say gay” to include not allowing it in print? Heat/humidity has fried so many brains here.

To be fair this could also apply to not treating MAGA-loving veterans as well. It doesn’t seem to specify.
Having said that, what the hell is the point of such an elimination? Health care professionals should not be discriminating against anyone. Sigh…

I’ll be reading this very soon; as a P/T employee who feels quite trapped I’ll be curious to see what the piece has to say…

Agreed, it’s been very enjoyable so far. I was relating a little too well to episode two, Eye Contact. I believe the author @marthawells.com is working closely with the show.

I picked up the recently(?) published/repackaged/reissued Volume One but have not started to read it; that changes ASAP!

Much has never struck me as much of a β€œlooker.” I think his being a frontman/rock star is doing all the heavy lifting. Of course, looks are subjective.

Sitting in the jury pool hearing a video about β€œfairness” and the judicial branch/overall government in this current administration is low key triggering.

But there’s some that are logical(?). I wouldn’t want a man and a woman in a boxing match. But mixing it up where there’s an even playing field, like say billiards? Or bowling? Does that make sense? Maybe I’m wrong…

I was going to ask β€œwho’s the third wheel?” but took a second look and realized Jagger is the third wheel in this image. Who’s the other guy?

Oh thrive all been thoroughly vetted.

Question 1: Is Elon god?
Question 2: Do you hate minorities?

If you answer β€œyes” to both, you’re approved.
