I recently told someone I agreed with you 97% of the time. It just slipped to dramatically.
Are you trying to gain sway over people further to the right by connecting with them? Serious question. It's the only way I can make sense of you saying CK did politics the right way.

How fantastic! I'm in Tucson and didn't even know about it. I wonder how many other people would've been there if we'd known. ❤️

Wait, this was three months ago and you have posted nothing since?

I joke about Oakland needing billboards that explain to criminals that they don't need to burn their stolen cars unless they've killed someone in them. The police are not going to dust for prints, but still, they constantly set them on fire. Thank you again to the firefighters!

Your TikToks are a balm. Thanks for helping keep me sane in these mad times.
I'd never seen you on YouTube before, so checked it out. Oh my gosh, baby Brad from 17 years ago!? ❤️

Firms that donated to Republican party avoided tariffs in Trump first term – study President-elect has threatened to levy tariffs on goods from Canada, Mexico and China, which can burden businesses

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist.

He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in

Babbel & Duolingo are great for starting out, but don't feel as useful once you want to advance. Ligvista is useful for vocab building, but goes over the same thing repeatedly to attain perfection when I want to learn more faster. What are others liking? (Not that I expect a reply, so quiet here.)

Ewa's reading section allows click-translation of phrases - I love it. I'd signed up for the video clips though - that hasn't worked out. To access higher levels you're forced to take annoying tests that require making sense of 1-sec audio blips garbled by compression, so you're stuck. Not renewing.

En un momento en que Trump intenta dividir a la gente, aprender idiomas es una de las cosas positivas que podemos hacer.

Now over half a million.

Who else is studying Spanish at an intermediate level? The pace of the apps is slow (specific reviews in comments) so I've been having C-GPT and DSeek create lessons. I've also come to greatly appreciate this guy for comprehension practice: www.patreon.com/c/chillspanishlisteningpractice

I have news for you - we aren’t taking over Gaza.

But the media and the chattering class will focus on it for a few days and Trump will have succeeded in distracting everyone from the real story - the billionaires seizing government to steal from regular people.

Yes.

I don't see it, I wonder if I'm referring to something different. How would you feel about me posting it with credit somewhere online it doesn't have character limits so I could link to it?

2.2 billion gallons of water flowed out of California reservoirs because of Trump’s order to open dams | CNN There are two major problems with Trump’s order, water experts said: The water will not flow to Los Angeles, and it is being wasted by being released during the wet winter season.

Billions of gallons of water farmers need during the dry summer months wasted.

Exactly. Who knew I would end up blocking an account called amazing nature.

Where might I find the piece you wrote in 2018 (?) contrasting Trump's distributive bargaining style with the more nuanced and valuable integrative bargaining?

Trump Officials Release Water in California That Experts Say Will Serve Little Use Local officials and experts said the water the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began sending downstream on Friday could have been helpful to farmers later this year. President Trump, in an apparent refer...

It's painful that most of the country believes his absurd lies. The gullibles. Everything he does is for show, not for us.

The water releases Trump loudly proclaimed would save Los Angeles sent water to low-lying Central Valley land. None of it will reach Southern California. All. For. Show.

For a while after Joe Frank passed, all his work was behind a paywall. I see that some is now on YouTube and SoundCloud. I'll bookmark the better pieces I come across in the comments here as I explore. So far bluesky is mostly talking to myself, like a journal, so why not. soundcloud.com/thejoefrank

Also yes project 2025 was always the plan.

I thought they would wait a few minutes, but no of course not.

She said, “May I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away." If Mike Johnson thinks that’s “radical,” perhaps he has a fundamental misunderstanding of his own religion.
