An excerpt from page three of the NEGOP Legislative plan for 2025, indicating they'd like Natural Resources Districts is Nebraska to stop playing God by controlling the weather.

There are so many godawful pieces in this, but I want to call your attention to this gem in particular, with the hopes that someone on Al Gore's internet can explain to me what the hell they are talking about. They think NRDs control the weather?!

In case you're wondering how things are going in #Nebraska, here's what the local GOP put out regarding their plans for the first session of 2025. Full document is available here: ne.gop/legislative-...

100%. Case in point: A "civil" conversation about eugenics is still a conversation where someone is entertaining an abhorrent, inhuman policy and giving it legitimacy by offering that person time and attention. It's the intolerance paradox in action.

For all my #booksky buds, this is your reminder that you still have time to fill out your Goodreads reading challenge for 2024 so you can get this awesome, end-of-year summary.

I annotate mine and then post it to the Gram, and I always get a ton of questions about what I read ❤️

The very convenient thing about the "deep state" is that it's whatever and whoever you need it to be. You can use it for anything! Didn't get chosen for a cabinet position? Deep state.

Lost your car keys? Deep state. Vending machine out of your fav soda? Damn you, deep state fiends!

Same. I want to become the woke nightmare they already think progressives are. Which is why effective immediately, I'm peeing exclusively in litter boxes.

I'm from Omaha and we all heard the same! The old Gene Leahy Mall (where part of the new park stuff is now) was designed as a sunken park that was mostly below street level. It was well known as a spot where unhoused folks congregated, especially with the library across the street (now demolished).

So cool to see the @bsky.app gaining traction finally ♥️ it really feels like the old days of Twitter so far. I used to have my handle on the back of my car!

I'll let you in on a secret... LinkedIn has games and they're free. And better. Sorry NYT 🤷🏼‍♂️

Copywriting is as much about knowing *how* people will read/understand your words, as it is about choosing them. A copywriter can make sure your audience hears: "Let's eat, grandma!" Instead of: "Let's eat grandma!"

Copywriter. Many people know how to use a pen and a piece of paper, so they feel like they're on equal footing with your skillset. I hear a lot of: "Oh, I would say this instead..."

I’ve done nothing and posted nothing on Threads and somehow have 14 notifications.

Congrats, on making a text only Facebook, Zuck

The other day my wife and I took the kids to the park. There were two little girls playing.

As we walked up, one of them says to my wife: "Why do you have balls on your face?"

Reader, she meant freckles.

I'm terrified about the idea of doing BlueSky Skeet-Ups a la Twitter Meet-Ups.

Could get weird fast.
