Absolutely. Mark Kelly should be SECDEF. Maybe if Mark Kelly went to Trump‘s office like Momdavi, Trump would then like him and appoint him. Kelly would have to flatter him a couple of times; it’s not like he’d have to kiss Trump‘s ass.

A comic strip conversation between a pig and a cyclist sitting at a table.  The pig asks about driving laws for cyclists. The cyclists responds with a pyramid chart with cyclists at the top and everyone else as scum.

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

People who tell me “You’re an extreme case, we’re not talking about you” when it comes to disability benefits…

I don’t care.

When you come for one disabled person, you come for us all.

I’m not as selfish as you to do the “Oh I’m alright then”.
I actually care about others.

You ruin nothing. Taking care of ourselves is hard and when people we live with blame us (chronically ill people) for something completely out of our control, it is they who are ruining things. I used to feel like this.

It's almost like chronically ill people can be a lot more likely of being stuck in relationships where people hate them bc they can't work. Everyone else thinks it's their fault.

It was almost 30 years ago, and I’m pretty sure I frisbee’d the life ring over his head a few times.

We were each on 30 foot small boats in the Mediterranean, off the coast of Spain. His boat pulled alongside ours and he jumped way too soon.

That’s funny but close. I hurried and accidentally threw him a line that wasn’t tied to anything.

One did fall overboard right in front of me on a small boat. Not much of a splash.

When I was in the military, we called officers and enlisted like Hegseth, rocks. They made a lot of noise about themselves, with no experience, thought they knew better than leadership, but in reality they took up space, did nothing and often weighed down everyone else.

@johnfugelsang.bsky.social Hi John, I’ve listened to the audiobook twice. Outstanding book! I am buying the physical copy & there's 2 week wait. Congratulations! It is so helpful. I’ve already used it. I have a hard time with listening & reading comprehension as well and I got it. Well done!!!

We need to quit wasting time finding a scapegoat for autism, and instead focus all of our efforts on finding a cure for Dunning-Kruger.

The weird part is I instinctively kicked up some dust and charged his cape.

I think I dated Steven Miller in the '90s. One night he emerges from the bathroom wearing nothing but a fringed had and waving around a red cape.

When an authoritarian, thin-skinned president forbids me to criticize him, some hear that as a threat, but I hear it as a challenge.
