Bruh, you make no sense. 🙄
Tired: “Happy Fourth of July!”
Wired: “It says ‘All men are created equal,’ regardless of citizenship or job status.”

I had the most wonderful flight home from Denver. I met the nicest young man who sat next to me. He offered to put my bag in the overhead compartment and helped me with my tray. He was always polite, saying "yes ma’am" or "no ma’am." Anyone would be proud to have him as a son or grandson—so polite. People walking by were saying congratulations, great job, or even taking pictures. I turned and asked him, “Who am I sitting next to?” I looked at his Jaguar pants, smiled, and asked, “Are you an athlete?” He smiled and said, “I’m Travis. Yes, I was drafted by the Jags.” I already told my sons I want his jersey. He’s so humble and down-to-earth—I would have never guessed he was a professional athlete. JACKSONVILLE JAGS, you did good! I will be buying tickets. United Airlines, thank you for my seat assignment!
This is too wholesome

Like I get it’s in the zeitgeist, but if you think you *must* have a hot take on every hot button issue, perhaps you should not have a podcast.
Listen, I understand the motivation of folks like Gavin Newsom trying to ‘meet folks where they are’ but let me say this clearly:
Scapegoatting trans folks is not the answer.
Giving in to the people you think are winning the culture wars, does not itself win you the culture wars.
What a good time to watch last weeks “Have I got news for you!”
@roywoodjr.bsky.social @amberruffin.bsky.social & @michaelianblack.bsky.social are (as always) the perfect antidote to gaslighting. And this week @davesfoley.bsky.social & @jasmineforus.bsky.social are a breath of fresh air!
I honestly don’t know.
…then again…
I ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed.
To help homes survive more intense disasters, FEMA has been developing recommendations for stronger building codes. The Trump Administration has pulled them back.

My colleagues at @npr.org have a really great searchable table of Trump's first week of Executive Orders, and what precisely they do/call for. Really useful! www.npr.org/2025/01/28/n...
