Ira Remsen's Ghost

@bennet.senate.gov I was the guy who walked by you in the hat this evening going from Union Station towards the Capitol, you should stop by Columbus Circle to visit @flareusa.bsky.social sometime, it'd be great to show you the pressure we're putting on House members to push back against the regime

Was genuinely devastated to hear of Tom Lehrer's passing yesterday. Absolute legend, and I'll be compiling a set of his songs to start performing. If anyone actually reads these tweets, look forward to seeing that set posted in the coming days!

Anyone got the venmo account handle for the federal government? Gonna make a request to pay off my student loans

@lizdye.bsky.social @openargs.bsky.social @seriouspod.bsky.social @legaleagle.tv I'd love to hear y'all's thoughts on this. I doubt this case survives a motion to dismiss, much less gets a conviction

As much as I hate to reference R&M, especially on here...

Elon combines the worst aspects of Henry Ford (fascist sympathies, anti labor sentiments, general fuckheadery) and Thomas Edison (intellectual theft tendencies) and it's a truly beautifully disgusting combination

No shit, he said the same thing about my ketamine intake!

A loving god would not thrust this upon his creation

How old were you when you realized Mad Libs was a pun on ad-lib?
For me, it was literally last week

Also, apparently best practice is to tie the rag around the neck of the capped bottle for your own safety

The fact that this listicle omits the crab mac and cheese hot dog available at Camden Yards is a travesty

If Kat were a decade older, I'd want her to be running for president.
Hell, I want her running for president despite being slightly younger than me, fuck the 35 year old requirement!

Any combo of Moore, AOC, and Pritzker would be dope. Maybe help to clean up the legacy of former Maryland governors in the executive branch.

Your job's a joke, neck's broke
