This Dude Stands with Ukraine on that other platform. Writer, cybersecurity/OSINT, slayer of trolls, susser of bots, chef, Cubs fan, member of the first work 'til you die generation, watching this shit with disbelief. Also, I know things about stuff.
He couldn't help proving it by blocking me, instead of just deleting his account, as any not stupid person would have done.
Everyone here in the ATX was excited when we heard Tesla would be headquartered here, and we'd get a Gigafactory.
Didn't last long.
He wore out his welcome here toot suite.
...maybe it's just because he's a mensch, a real human being.
He'll be in the ATX in a couple of weeks. Maybe our paths will cross again.
...capacity 230.
Completed a Continental Club superstar troika for me. Saw Johnny Cash at the Continental. Bruce Springsteen, too.
That's how Austin used to be.
Plant is both kind and humble. He told me he'd been homeless for 2 years when Led Zep formed. Maybe that's why he's so humble.
Or...
...said, "It was forever ago, I'm sure you don't remember. But you were very kind to me back in the day, and I never got a chance to say thank you."
He looked up, cocked his head, and said, "John Avignone!"
I was stunned.
We talked for a bit. He gave me tix to see him at the Continental Club...
The '77 tour ended abruptly when his son died suddenly. Never got to say thanks or goodbye.
He lived with Patti Griffith, just around the corner from me in Hyde Park. I hadn't seen him in 35 years. I didn't think much about it.
One day I saw him at a neighborhood coffee shop. I stopped in and...
How stupid is Trump?
By appealing this decision on Trump's orders, it delays Trump's choice of Fed Chair indefinitely. They could have let it stand and had their own guy in.
That stupid.

And? You don't think a military boarding school is a military school?
Um...
One borough, anyway. Staten Island.
No way this stands. No fucking way.
Also, there are more Democrats than Republicans in Texas, and more than in any state not named California. So, maybe go easy on the Texas bashing.
We've been working to turn Texas blue since 1991, and we're finally almost there.
Delete your account.
He's living in the Stupid People Too Fucking Stupid to Know They're Too Fucking Stupid bubble.
You're not alone. This is a common problem for idiots.
How fucking stupid must one be to equate knocking on a door, meant to be knocked on, and knocking on a car door, which is not?
Is fork in the face stupid sufficient? Or must one be full-blown black-fucking-hole stupid?
Without your help those if us in the Triple Digit Club will never know.
Got to spend a lot of time with Robert Plant. He's a great guy. Very generous, very humble.
Always a pleasure to find truly good people doing well. In 1977 he was ta rock god, but he couldn't have been more down to Earth.
When he lived here in ATX, he hung out at The Sahara Lounge. Just a guy.
Breaking: the DOGE deposition videos have been taken off YouTube. On Friday the government asked a judge to intervene, said the videos could cause reputational damage, death threats. Judge agreed, ordered them removed: www.404media.co/doge-deposit...
These Luddite idiots have no idea How Things Work on the Interwebs. They can scrub whatever the fuck they want from YouTube, and it won't matter.
The Internet is forever. Also, these brodude pricks deserve every bit of derision coming their way, and then some.
It's not failing. It was never a thing.
Can't be soon enough. He's a clown. A drunken clown.
Not actually an olive branch. It's a fasces, an ancient Roman symbol of authority, and the Latin root of the word "fascist."
Also one of the symbols most associated with fascism.
Gee, I wonder why it was removed. <cough-cough, we're not really fascists, cough-cough>

FYI, for many users, disabling comments merits an instant block, and for good reason.
Do. Better.
The president can declassify anything he wants at any time, but REALLY!!??
WITAF.
The man has no shame, much to the shame of all of us.
Who could have possibly predicted...!?
Other than everyone everywhere.
WTF is this addled fascist prick talking about?
I'll take Things That Never Happened for $1000, Ken.
Disgraceful, disgusting, and all sorts of fucked up.
This is what the fascist regime is doing in all of our names. Make it stop.
!["The president was enraged," Esper recalled. "He thought that the protests made the country look weak, made us look weak and 'us' meant him. And he wanted to do something about it.
"We reached that point in the conversation where he looked frankly at [Joint Chiefs of Staff] Gen. [Mark] Milley and said, 'Can't you just shoot them, just shoot them in the legs or something?' ... It was a suggestion and a formal question. And we were just all taken aback at that moment as this issue just hung very heavily in the air."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:m23dhl5mwbxmpk7hiwi6lo77/bafkreie2zlam5krx76npmevpkgtyn2tg3kru7hjxualwbfk3y5rftumjuu)
So what did Democracy Unmuted want? The overview included creators urge their audiences to "look past viral personalities," and then to trash Abughazaleh for alleged shortcomings. Abughazaleh says the talking points are "false and defamatory."

Lt. Col. Kingzinger would know. He flew a KC-135 for two years.
