We don’t just deserve representation, we demand it. The turnout on Saturday proved that the NCGA and its constituents are not aligned.

On Saturday I was at the Raleigh NC No Kings rally with a couple dozen buttons that I’d made for the occasion. Within a half hour I had none left. The designs were β€œno kings,” β€œresist” (featuring THE frog), and β€œfdt” (reimagined npr logo). Also gave away a dozen @wearesaners.bsky.social postcards.

I once made it a goal to get a cap from every sports team with a bird-based name. I quit when I realized I had a bunch of worthless hats I would never wear because I dislike the teams (looking at you, St Louis).

Did you know there was once a major league team called the Brooklyn Robins?

You missed the best part which is when he tells Moran, β€œdon’t photoshop it” - which tells me Trump has no idea what β€œphotoshop” even means!

The lengths they will go to for a distraction from their mendacious agenda! Frightening.

Musk’s script kiddies aren’t conducting any audits and never were looking for inefficiencies, waste, or fraud. They were and are installing backdoors.

Musk’s script kiddies aren’t doing β€œaudits” or lookin for inefficiency. They’re installing back doors in our systems. It’s straight treason, not β€œlight,” not β€œadjacent.”

A best he was always a protege of Putin, who has been advising him on how to become America’s Putin; at worst, he’s simply a Russian asset. He’s lived his entire life as if his goal was to generate as much kompromat as possible. Anyone who still doesn’t realize he’s an asset is simply in denial.

What happened Friday was the wrong side got kicked out of the WH (again). I’d be proud to have Zelenskyy as my president. And BTW this was not Trump’s doing. JDV was sent in there to incite Trump’s reaction to blow up the impending β€œdeal.”

Other countries offer β€œgolden visas.” Of course, they’re mostly ones Trump would call shitholes. Congratulations, the US is officially a shithole country.

When are we going to see Democrats stand up for democracy? I see fundraising appeals from β€œleader” Jeffries but no real effort to oppose the GOP. We need them to grind Congress to a halt.

I guess a Great America is one with high unemployment, expensive food, unsafe transportation, and rampant corruption.

Bought a small kitchen appliance. Open it up and see this: β€œGet to Know Your Maker” … Is this thing safe?

Minicast C5: The Albanian Pyramid Scheme Podcast Episode Β· Mass for Shut-ins: The Gin and Tacos Podcast Β· 08/06/2020 Β· 16m

Apropos of nothing, here's a story about what happens when the economy of an entire nation is in the hands of thieves and scammers.

In 1997, 2/3 of Albania's GDP was tied up in a single enormous ponzi scheme. 95% of adults invested *everything they had*. You won't* believe what happened next!

I appreciate this. β€œThe Left” needs to recognize that everyone is in some kind of left/right spectrum on any number of issues and we need a massive coalition right now. I’m sick of leftists telling me I’m not sufficiently left to be valid.

I can think of at least 3 companies whose boards should be extremely peeved that their CEO is neglecting his duties and playing β€œdoggie” with the federal government. Or maybe the CEO role is bullshit and Tesla, SpaceX, and X just don’t need a CEO. In any case they shouldn’t be paying him.

@olbermann.bsky.social Everyone knows the NHL’s β€œoriginal six” aren’t the first six teams of the league. It’s a nickname for the six-team postwar configuration of the NHL. Also, the NY Rangers aren’t real Rangers and the Chicago Bears are (mostly) not actual Bears.
